    Incessant Pop Up: Sign In to iCloud

    This morning I turned my iPhone 5s with some version of iOS 7 on and a pop up popped up: Sign In to iCloud. I tapped cancel, but it popped right back up. I kept canceling, but it keeps popping up. I can't use my phone because it pops up faster than I can activate any apps. I've been using...

    iCloud Email display name

    Hi there, Since starting family sharing, my iCloud email display name has changed to the name of the 'organiser' of family sharing. Therefore whenever I send an email to somebody who hasn't got my email in their contacts, the name that comes up is not of mine. I have tried the steps on this...

    Large video files aren't deleted correctly – they get stuck in iCloud!

    Earlier this year, I frequently recorded large 1080p videos (1 hr long @ 3-4 Gb) with my iPhone connected to iCloud. After a while I noticed that the iCloud storage space occupied by Photos/Videos was massively increasing at a steady pace – even though I always deleted the videos from my iOS...

    One of my various shared albums suddenly stopped syncing

    I have numerous shared photo albums and have not had any trouble until recently when the album I share with my girlfriend stopped updating. I pretty much always add my photos from my iPhone, but on the 17th of May I had some photos on my iPad that I wanted to add. I added 14 pics and never...

    I can't find my iCloud photos, nor delete them

    So I lost my phone (Apple product), and it's offline. I will never get it back. The only Apple product I have now is my Macbook Air. I cannot access those photos and videos they say I have stored on iCloud. I can only access my email through iCloud.com, but not photos. So I downloaded the iCloud...

    Does iCloud's "optimize storage" on iPhone interfere with quality of Google Photos backup?

    Hey guys! Currently I have iCloud "optimize storage" on iPhone 6 turned on, and most pictures are in iCloud.com to free up space on my iPhone. I also have a Google Photos app downloaded on my phone for backup, and I chose "high resolution" (the free) option. My concern is that because pictures...

    Accessing iCloud files

    How do I access my iCloud storage files? Either I'm very ignorant or iCloud is the most mysterious cloud storage I've ever seen. Can I access these files on a desktop via web browser? I keep getting messages that my pitiful 5gb iCloud storage is almost full and I have no idea why. I've turned...

So I went online and read how to resolve the duplicates issue here https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT203565. Being a moron...

    What is the CAUSE of the endless Updating (but not) Numbers spreadsheets over iCloud?

    You know what I'm talking about. You have a spreadsheet on both your iPhone and your iPad, and you blithely update on either device and watch it instantly update to the other device. 99% of the time. Oh but that 1% drives you crazy. The other device senses the change, starts to update the...

    iPad What is the "Apple Way" to Store Photos?

    Apple seems to be pushing iOS devices as a main computing platform, and without connecting to a PC or Mac the best way to store photos seems to be iCloud Photo Library. But the best I can find is that they still recommend a PC or Mac to back up the library. So there's no real way to drop the PC...
