    Migrating Data From Watch Series 4 to Series 5

    Having only bought the S4 less than 5 months ago, I had no intention of upgrading to S5. However I was then surprised by the Always On screen and this week also won a competition which would cover almost 60% of the cost of the S5 with the sale of the S4 making up the rest . . . so it’s decision...

    iPhone System Restore - what does this actually mean

    Online Apple claim that a system restore via iTunes “erases” the solid state disk on your phone and installs a “new” and current and up to date version of iOS on your iPhone.

    iPhone XS Max Missing photos in backup

    Update: For those of us happy taking many photos and using iTunes to back them up, don't believe that they are safely stored there - just check that your backup matches the images on your phone and that all are viewable in your backup / restore. You may see the message 'file type not supported'...
