    Some Album Art not Showing in Music App?

    Hi, I mainly have a lossless music library on my mac that is neat and tidy with covers and clean ID-tags. I don't use Apple Music. I let macOS - previously Music/iTunes -, transcode to AAC when syncing some playlists to my iPhone, which is plugged-in to the Mac (Lightning to USB-C). I already...

    Why won't non-iOS device sent text messages delete on Watch when deleted on iPhone?

    Any idea why Apple hasn't added this fully message sync to the Watch? Standard (non-iOS sent) SMS messages just pile up on the Watch and need to be removed manually one at a time.

    Ipad Sync error (wrong library?)

    Forgive me, this is probably an old topic but I don't know how to search/describe this issue. In a previous OS - Yosemite? Mavericks? - maybe prior, Apple began numbering versions of the Machine ID. For example: If Mac was named named Woz, you might see Woz (3), Woz (12) in Shared listings in...

    My recently purchased iPad Pro (9.7) is not syncing all of my photos located in the Photos app from Apple. When starting the sync, it displays the correct number of photos needing to be synced (ex. 1050 photos), and then once starting to sync, it stops after syncing just 10-20 photos. This...

    iBooks not syncing last page read on my iPhone

    The last page read does not sync on my iPhone (the eBooks I am reading are purchased from the iBook store). It does sync between my iPad and my Mac, but the iPhone doesn't reflect the progress made on other devices, and pages read on the iPhone don't propagate to the them either. What is...

    Resolved Dropbox won't sync folder called "Documents"

    Hello all, this should probably go on the dropbox forums, but they don't seem very active and the people here are very clever, so please bear with me. SUMMARY: Dropbox won't sync any folder called "Documents". If I create it on my local machine, it won't sync to dropbox. If I create it on...
