    How to backup iCloud Photo Library

    I am using iCloud photo library and have chosen to download originals to my MacBook Pro because I want to have local copies of all my photos. My SSD is almost full and I will most likely have to switch to optimising mac storage and storing originals only in iCloud. I would like to be able to...

    iCloud customer service??

    Please pardon me if I violate any kind of form etiquette here. I don't post very much but I am a well educated, serious power user. Also I'm using Siri, because I am handicapped, so some of the sentences may not make sense and it seems like rambling. So here's another interesting Apple tidbit...

    Mail not up to date with Mac

    I am signed into my Mac and iPhone with iCloud. The other day I deleted over 500 emails from the mail app on my Mac because it is easy to just hold down the shift key and quickly delete hundreds of emails. Well the deletion has not been reflected on my iPhone. Still showing all the messages...

    iCloud.com Musings

    I use iCloud.com a lot as it's a convenient way to access and work on my stuff while I have downtime at work, so I thought it might be interesting and/or useful to pool our knowledge along the lines of an 'All the Little Things' thread. One thing I've noticed are seemingly random signouts...
