    Missing Subtasks in Reminders: Seeking Solutions

    Upon noticing the absence of subtasks in several of my Reminders sublists recently, I observed that this issue seemed arbitrary, occurring alongside fully intact sublists. Since these are recurring reminders, I typically only review them when prompted, making it challenging to pinpoint when the...

    Auto sync new iPhone photos to Mac Photos Library

    Until recently when I opened the Library in Photos on my Mac, new photos that I'd taken on my iPhone would appear there if my phone was connected to my home wifi. I seem to remember an iOS setting way back to do it, but I can't find it anymore. It's been working since I had my M1 Max MBP 16in...

    Safari Bookmarks not syncing correctly

    When I try to create folders or move new bookmarks, it doesn't sync correctly, or sometimes just leave it as is. I have installed Mac OS 13 as well as iOS 16 public betas. Is it because of the beta versions?

    Never had this issue before, not even on iOS13. About a couple of weeks ago, after messing with Focus settings and then switching them off, I noticed disconnections and no syncing happening across the mobile and desktop version of Whatsapp, then Gmail app stopped live updating with no push...

    Some Birthdays Not Appearing on iPad Calendar

    I just noticed that some birthdays (sourced from my contacts) are appearing on my iPad calendar, while others are not, and there is no rhyme or reason for this. My iPhone displays all of the birthdays. Wondering if this may be a bug, or potentially a syncing issue with Apple’s servers.

    iPhone Is the new iTunes 12.11.3.17 dropping Outlook syncing?

    I have seen some posts on Apple and Microsoft's forums, recently, about the new version of iTunes dropping sync with Outlook. Since I could not get confirmation of this from the official Apple site, I am confused as to whether this is true for entire Apple users or a glitch happening with only a...

    iCloud Documents in the Cloud Mojave and Big Sur

    I finally relented and opted for the 50 GB iCloud storage per month. I thought since I have two Macs that feature the iCloud Desktop & Documents syncing option, I would enable it. It enabled just fine on my M1 Mac, but on my 2015 MacBook Pro signed in with the same Apple ID running macOS Mojave...

    How to sync multiple services?

    I rely heavily on a number of services for pretty much everything, but a lot of time is wasted having to go between them. This could easily be resolved by syncing them somehow, but I do not know where to start or if it is even possible. So I am hoping someone can tell me how to go about...

    Dock Syncing

    One feature I miss from the .Mac days was Dock syncing between Mac's. It was great when setting up a new Mac, especially if you had a Mac Pro or iMac and MacBook. I also noticed when setting up a new Mac, all the accounts setup under your iCloud ID aren't automatically added. Unless I'm missing...

    My mac is driving me nuts! I thought it was constantly indexing the spotlight. So I used the terminal to turn it off and then back on again so it would restart it. No difference. I then brought up my activity monitor and did a search for mdworker. It only found one. So that is not what is...
