    iCloud iCloud questions: limits and moving to individual accounts

    I'm considering purchasing the $10/mo 2tb plan to share with a few family members. However, I want to think long term about this and have some questions: 1. Can you set storage limits per-person at all? I don't want one person to take up all the space and everyone else get screwed. (i.e. set...

    Problems using Twitter and Fenix on new iPad Air - iPadOS 15.7 (close enough?) [SOLVED]

    When I go to post a tweet in the Twitter app or Fenix, I can choose from a number of images to accompany the tweet. Most of these images pre-date my new iPad Air and were created on my old iPad. This suggests to me that these apps are accessing iCloud to find these old images. My problem is...

    Universal I made another FREE and AD-FREE calculator for iPad and iPhone : Calcsmos

    Hi all, I’ve just launched my calculator app on the App Store and would like to get some feedback from you. Why build another calculator again? Can’t find a calculator on iPad that’s free and ad-free and fits my needs. Almost all calculators in the market didn’t calculate the percentage as I...

    I want to wipe clean my MacBook, but Erase Assistant keeps saying iCloud is syncing

    Hi all! As the title says, I want to wipe my MacBook. When I go to System Preferences to go to Erase Assistant and walk through the steps, Erase Assistant keeps saying iCloud is still syncing to iCloud. That's a bit peculiar, iCloud syncing to itself. It's been doing that since 0945. It is...

    Photos sync from Mac to iCloud but not photo adjustments

    I recently bought a new Mac Studio, and I got the 2GB model mostly because I wanted to have enough on-board storage for my entire photo library. It took a while, but it finally seemed to download all of the original photos from iCloud (around 650GB). However, I have noticed that if I import...

    iCloud and my 2018 15" MacBook Pro

    I have tried, but it seems in vain, to distance my MBP from iCloud but I am still continually getting messages that my iCloud is full, buy some more. NO, I don't want to buy anything, I am very happy without it. I am thinking to do a full backup via Time Machine and then re set the MBP to...

    I know if I delete a photo on my iPhone it also deletes it from the cloud. When I get the new iPhone 14 pro and turn it on and tell it to go from a backup from the iCloud on my old phone does it also copy every single photo from the last iPhone to the new iPhone or does it just have them in the...

    Reported drive space usage differs from what Photos shows

    I've been developing a huge cache of photos and videos going back to 2005 - I've imported maybe 2/3rds of the files into Photos on my MBA. I recently configured my MBA to synch those photos to iCloud. I wanted to continue my efforts on another system, a Mac Mini. The Mini wasn't synching...
