    Transferring iCloud Photo Library to a new Apple ID

    I've searched a lot when I was contemplating creating a new Apple ID on how I could transfer all my data from one account to another. I have around 35,000 photos on my original iCloud account and found a neat way to transfer them all, as is, to a new iCloud account. First, you will need to be...

    Migrating the iTunes library (non-default location)

    A search seems to mostly bring up guides on how to move the iTunes library with migration assistant or otherwise restore it into a default location, but since I don't store things in the default location, it turned out to be a bit harder to find resolutions. Over the years, I have done so much...

    A friend's Air has a smallish SSD drive; I went looking for space hogs. Her library seems to consuming 30+ GB. I spent a few minutes with du -h trying to see why, to no avail. (I did see all kinds of Mail stuff there; has Apple gone back to their OS8.5 days of putting mail in system-ish...

    How to purge iTunes apps without uninstalling.

    Before iOS 9, I would intermittently delete every app from iTunes and then plug my iPhone and iPad in and "transfer purchases" to pull back in the ones I still have installed - just to keep down the size of my library. Since iOS 9, you can no longer transfer apps from the devices into iTunes...

    Ipad Sync error (wrong library?)

    macOS Help Installing C++ Library in El Capitan (boost)

    I have no experience with using other libraries in C++ other than the STL. I have been using clang++ for compiling small C++ codes and projects using Terminal commands with makefiles and rarely I've had to use XCode.
