    After upgrade to iOS 12 iPhone won't connect to iTunes

    Mac OS 10.12.6 on iMac 5k, iPhone 7, iTunes 12.8. After I upgraded my iPhone to IOS 12 When I hook up my iPhone I get a message that a Software upgrade is required to use iTunes with this iPhone. Anyone know what this software upgrade is? I tried it with High Sierria and same thing. Can I fix this?

    iPad Pro with FaceID

    iOS 12 for iPad with its new gestures really have me wanting a new iPad with no home button and FaceID. I love the new home gesture but can't get over having to place my finger on the slow touchID button on my iPad Air 2. Is anyone else excited for a bezel-less iPad Pro?!

    General Forced to enable Screen Time for Restrictions

    I'm thinking of contacting Apple about this and thought I'd run it past this forum first in case I am mistaken and also to see if any one else feels the same way: I like to keep control of my iPhone apps. I use restrictions to block stuff I never use, similar to how I don't enable wi-fi and...

    iPad 9.7 + iOS 12 = No auto-dimming

    I just bought a new iPad 9.7 2018 model and installed iOS 12 when I set it up. I don't know if Auto Brightness worked in iOS 11, but only half of it works for me in 12. That is, while the screen will brighten in bright ambient light conditions, it simply will not dim, even in a pitch black room...

    iOS 12 Final vs. 11.4.1 on 5S! Is it usable?

    I use this 5S as my secondary phone, so I don’t really use it but would it be usable with the latest iOS? In fact, not the worst but not the best, too. :D

    IOS 12 - No Bluetooth icon in status bar?

    Have just installed IOS 12 on my iPhone 6s and note the Bluetooth icon is missing when it is switched on. Some say this is a bug to be corrected in next update and others say it has intentionally been omitted by Apple because on IOS 12, Bluetooth no longer drains the battery. Any comments?

    Sync Music to multiple devices

    There must be an easy fix to this but I can't find it. I use iTunes to manage my music. I have it set to sync checked music only. I sync about 40gb of music with my iPhone 7, which has 128gb of storage. I've decided my iPod touch, which has sat in a drawer for five years, is a great way to...
