    Is there a way to recover a deleted Shared iCloud Photo Album if I have a device that hasn't had the wifi turned on recently?

    did something really dumb and accidentally deleted a Shared iCloud Photo Album and didn't think I could get it back. I have a couple of devices that I haven't turned on recently and thought maybe there was a way to 'trick' it into keeping the Shared iCloud Photo Album around by quickly turning...

    I tried to add a photo with a specific person (if I didn't misunderstand the "specific person" part of the misbehaviour, of course) from My Photostream to an album containing photos only with that person but failed. It showed the typical Gene effect of the photo collapsing into the album's...

    Does My Photo Stream auto upload new photos and download them to Mac in iOS 12?

    Does My Photo Stream still automatically upload new photos and download them to Mac hard drive in iOS 12? I've always used My Photo Stream to automatically upload new pictures from my iPhone and have them download to the Photos app on my iMac due to the large size of my photo library I always...

    Any way to prevent people from turning on iCloud photos yet?

    last time I tried Using my Apple TV as the HomeKit hub it wouldn’t allow me to disable the option for someone to turn back on iCloud photos. So I setup a separate Apple account for HomeKit purposes only and just added my main Apple account as a family member. Is there anyway to disable...
