    iCloud iCloud for Windows Corrupting videos, downloading other people's photos!?!

    Submitted this to Apple through their feedback and security site, but haven't seen it talked about anywhere else. Was hoping I could see if someone else could replicate it. Here's my copy paste, this is a very strange bug to say the least. Hopefully someone here can replicate it. Summary...

    On-Board and Off-Board iCloud Photos Storage?

    I use iCloud to sync my photos and videos across devices as well as serve as a short-term backup. I don’t want to use iCloud as a long-term backup, however. I like to keep my iCloud library small as I’ve found that Photos runs much more efficiently than hosting my entire vast library. So, I...

    Settings-Mail/Contacts/Calendar/Notes/Reminders-Accounts-iCloud-Media and Purchase always shows Off

    I went to a nearby Apple Store to check out the prototype and the prototype had the same problem. After clicking on it, the login page pops up and then returns to the off state. But click on the avatar at the top of the Settings to go in and go to this page is normal. Very wired bug.:oops:

    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...

    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...
