My Apple ID (on which I have 2FA) becomes locked frequently due to strangers thinking it's theirs and trying to log in with it. Used to be, I'd just go to iforgot.apple.com and start the unlock process there, and then it would let me finish the process on my iPhone and my account would be...

Hello all, we are trying to get back running after all the Covid stuff. I have turned on one of our MacBook Pro and I am met with this weird Microsoft sign-in screen.

I have forgotten the passwords on my iPad due to not using for a while. Is there any other way to get into it except for resetting? This is where the fun starts... I can't reset it because I can't get into my iTunes account because it wants to send an authorisation code to my locked iPad :)

I've been testing out Windows 10 and have noticed that half of the time Google Drive seems to lock my project files*. This never happens in MacOS. Is there a setting somewhere I'm missing? I'm not certain how to diagnose it. The file/folder tree is all set to full control. *ie, working on a...

I'm going to be living in France later this year from late August through December. I currently have a new iPhone XR that I bought through T-Mobile in the US, so it's locked. Is it possible to get T-Mobile to unlock it for me before then or no? If not, I was looking at the Apple clearance site...

This was very confusing and I finally figured it out so I wanted to share the news! I don’t have a passcode to unlock my phone every time, only after being locked for 4 hours. It suddenly started requiring a passcode after 1 hour, and I noticed the option for 4 hours was gone. After MUCH...

Greetings: I purchased a used Mac Mini off eBay in 2014, but didn't fully appreciate the fact that the previous owner still had an iCloud account attached to it. All of a sudden the Mac Mini has been locked out with a message to call a Chicago area phone number. I called that number but the...
