Instead of storing all my media solely on iCloud, I regularly move my iPhone photos and videos to the Photos app on my Mac. If I have optimized storage activated, which replaces full-resolution media with smaller versions, I wonder if the transfer retrieves the originals from iCloud or the...

Guys I'm hoping some kind soul can check their Mac (running Sonoma) and see if they also have this issue. Any file which synchronises to the iCloud (not just the desktop in my example), syncs just fine as you can see with the 'cloud' icon on the file in Finder.... But...... hovering the cursor...

Hi Folks, Despite my inability to find any files in my iCloud Drive (files app) that are downloaded for offline, the storage on Vision Pro says I have 316gb of downloaded iCloud files taking up space on Vision Pro. I’ve gone through every folder and there are no files downloaded for offline. How...

Hey guys, what I want to do is to merge two sets of photos on two different phones with two different iCloud accounts, keeping all the albums, favourites and edits. After googling, this is the solution I've found. Would appreciate it if someone can confirm this. iPhone A is the target phone I...

My wife and I both have our own iCloud accounts, though part of a family account. She has her own Photos and I have my own Photos. Is there any way to see/view/edit them on the same computer? In other words, can I have two iCloud photo libraries that I can view and work with on the same computer?

Have any of you guys had this problem? I have 22,199 photos on my phone.. but icloud shows there are only 22,177.. so there’s a missing 22 more photos.. I’ve tried constantly hitting sync under settings/icloud/photos but so far that hasn’t worked. Just recently signed up to a bigger plan btw...

I just today figured something out, and I'm sharing it here in the hopes it helps the few other people in this situation. I got my Apple ID more than twenty years ago. I use the email address on lots of sites, so abandoning it is out of the question. And it's a fairly simple address that lots...

So suppose I get a new iPhone 15 right before I go abroad on holiday for a few weeks. My old iPhone that I've used for everything over the years is a 2016 SE, and I take it with me, using it for everything I've always used it for. I'd prefer to transfer everything on that SE to my brand new...

Just started to use my iPhone (15+) to scan documents (using the Scan Documents option in Files), save to iCloud and then open on my MacMini. It seemed to work really well. However, I have found that .pdf contents are not searchable by Spotlight when I do this. If I open Preview and then scan...

I have a iMac, iPhone, iPad and buy 2Tb iCloud as my Photo library is around 1Tb, and so need this space with iPhone backups for family, iPad etc. I also currently have another cloud backup service on my Mac that basically backups up my Mac. I only really use it for safety for my Photo...

I upgrade to iCloud 2tb for the first time and I'm trying to upload all my vacation photos and whenever I select a huge amount to upload it show "photos has stopped responding" Or some sort of problem check back in an hour. Whats the reason for this?

Posting here as I’ve had tons of issues since the update. Had to restart my phone and it’s taking hours for the Apple ID to login. / now having issues with my Apple TV. Anyone else? Just stuck here.

I click Turn on and then Allow... but nothing happens. - 14" M1 MBP Can I try anything else?

Hi all! Just updated to Sonoma 14.4, and my Reminders (synced with iCloud via an Apple Business Essentials account) all disappeared. I can go to iCloud.com and see my reminders, which are probably a month or two out of date. For some reason they seem to have stopped syncing. This happened with...

Hello, I had problem with my iphone regarding battery which i have fixed with reinstalling the device but not using the icloud restore option. Everything works fine except imessage. I have about 2GB of imessage files stored in my phone and 30GB in icloud. How can i make sure they will get...

Im having a one directional syncing issue with MacOS Reminders. Situation: On MacOS reminders I just created a new list for a trip and added just over 100 items and 6 Sections, all the todos where organised under each of these sections. Everything synced over incuding todos and sections but it...

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...

...if you are having "backup to iCloud" on in the settings? Lots of free storage in ipad, iCloud is almost full and I'd like to browse some local videos, but since if anything is backupped to iCloud, everything is backupped to iCloud, I can't use the local storage on the ipad. What would Apple...

I'm interested in utilizing the columns feature in the Reminders app, but it seems that the app requires an update from within itself. However, when I attempt to update, it prompts me to sign into iCloud. Since I'm using a work computer where I remain signed out of iCloud, this poses a...
