Hello, TL;DR: I have an unlocked iPhone 4 running iOS 7.1.2 with +15k images and videos from 2012-2014. I want to add these to my image gallery on my main iPhone, but so that it keeps its metadata and adds itself to the oldest part of the timeline. My current timeline starts in 2014. I have...

When I go to Account Storage on macOS Sonoma 14.5 in System Settings->iCloud->Account Storage I see that Reminders appears in Chinese??? I've deleted it and synchronized it again and the name is back in Chinese! Can anyone explain why this happens? See the attached image!

Hello. i am a little confused with how to go about doing the following. If someone could help and tell me exactly what to do, that would be appreciated: 1.). I want to have all my pictures on my Mac—including those from my iPad and iPhone. 2.). I want to be able to get the pictures off of...

Problem: After transferring Ventura 13.6.7 system and files from MacBook 16 2019 to iMac 2017, I can't log into my Apple ID like any other, always like in the video. If you create a new user in the transferred system, then everything is ok, he will be able to log in to any Apple ID, but the user...

I need a tool that can convert Outlook PST files to EMLX for iCloud. I am changing my email client from MS Outlook to iCloud. Please help!

Apple didn’t announce any new Files app features, but as we learned last year, many smaller improvements come to iPadOS that aren’t necessarily announced in the keynote. In the Files app, a new option in iCloud Drive allows us to select a file or folder and select an option to “Keep...

I had a shared photo album with thousands of pictures and videos shared by multiple people. One day, it stopped working - dropped all the collaborators, and the videos gave an error and could not be played back; they also cannot be shared to a different album or exported. The album does not...

Hello, I have a few devices on the same iCloud account. I would like 3 of the 4 devices to share iMessages and SMS, continuity, etc, but I want one of them to NOT have any of those (because I let a family member use it). Is there a simple way to do that? TIA

I’m in a family of 4 (2 parents, 2 kids). My wife and I want to repurpose an old iPhone for the 2 kids to share for occasional use (Having a phone at practice, out with a friend, etc). For now this phone number/iPhone will be for either kid to use when needed. The iPhone will be limited to...

I got a junk (and aggressive, a bit threatening) scam email where the sender spoofed one of my iCloud aliases (that I never use) as both the sender and the recipient. How do they do that? Do they pick up the alias on the dark web (like everything else) or has my Apple iCloud account been...

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...
