    Apple Music What annoys me about Apple Music

    Somehow I have loads of duplicates within my saved The 1975 album (deluxe) and I’m really not sure how. The linked albums below are also confusing. They’re both explicit versions, but from two separate labels 😒. Why do we need two versions (3 if you include my mess of an album)? Now I’m...

    Apps Refresh Media Library?

    I have a shared media library on my Synology NAS, which generally works fine. However, if I try to watch (for example) an episode of a ripped TV series on my Apple TV when the NAS is in standby, the Apple TV can throw an “Unable to Find Media” error before the NAS has time to spin-up. The...

    Any way to reduce photos library size on a MacBook Air?

    Hi all, I've purchased a second hand 2020 M1 Air for a roadtrip. Its the base model with only 256gb of storage. I had hoped to reduce my photos library footprint by ticking the 'Optimise Mac Storage' option, in photos/settings, rather than 'Download originals the this Mac' My 80gb photos...

    Apple Music Unexpected Behavior in Apple Music: Album Favorites Automatically Adding Songs

    In iOS 17, I disabled “Add Favorite Songs” under the Library section of Apple Music settings. However, since approximately two iOS updates ago, whenever I favorite an album, all of its songs are automatically added to my library. This behavior is new, as in the past, favoriting albums didn’t...

    iPad Photos are not showing in Library even though Photostream is working

    Just noticed that whilst the photo stream is working between my iPhone and iPad (ie photos from iPhone are appearing in the photo stream on the iPad) for some reason the photos are not being saved into the photos library. I’ve checked through recently deleted (nothing there) but can’t see the...

    Transferring Apple Photos library on macOS Ventura

    I wasn't planning to upgrade to macOS Ventura yet, I was waiting for v13.1, but yesterday I was forced to. After I installed the latest Monterey minor update from v12.6 to v12.6.1 my MBP became unstable and started getting kernel panics like crazy. It is the first time I have experienced this...

    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...

    iPhone 11 WhatsApp Media Auto Download Issues (settings to save are turned off)

    Hello, I followed various advice from WhatsApp support in regards to images and media automatically saving. I have been forced to trouble shoot this although all settings to save are turned off, as this is clogging up my photo library (every photo is saving, dozens every day). 1) I was told by...

    Fitness+ Custom collections?

    Having just started using Fitness+ I was wondering if it’s at all possible to create Custom Collections (in effect a playlist of workouts). I’d like to be able to seamlessly carry out 2 or 3 workouts back to back but this does seem possible. Also, why on earth is the Library section at the...

    All downloaded Apple Music library songs gone?

    What would cause my entire library of downloaded music (~100GB) to completely get removed? I flipped "offload unused apps" off then on, and sync'ed my phone with my Mac (i.e. "SYNC" to remove error files, etc.)... but then all of my downloaded Apple Music was gonzo... (never had this happen...

    iCloud Photo Storage - Would This Work?

    I want a place to store all of my wife’s and my photos and videos from the last several years. Currently, everything is on a portable hard drive, but we don’t have a way to access the content on the fly. I’m also worried about data corruption and drive failure.

    Solution for Shared Media Library with Spouse

    I want a shared photo/video library that both my wife and I can access on our devices, as well a something that will automatically sync new content (or at least allow for upload). This rules out Apple Photos and iCloud Files. Is Dropbox a good solution these days? Open to suggestions.

    Photos.app and excessive HDD read/write on the drive where ”Photos Library.photoslibrary” resides

    It is crazy how often the drive keeps reading and writing for some reason (yes, I have a quite loud 6 TB Western Digital Black). I also use Backblaze which I've now disabled for that specific drive, but the drive keeps being accessed a lot. Don't know what's going on really because I can't see...

    iPhone X App Library Only vs Hidden Home Screens

    Which have you found yourself using more so far? I can't really find much of a use for hiding home screens, when you can just move an app entirely being "library view only." Initially, I planned to keep everything on home screens - but hidden - for the sake of being able to quickly take stock of...
