Custom labels for location names in the “Find My” app for iPadOS aren’t syncing with my iPhone. The location address is showing when it should be displaying the custom label. In the “Find My” app on my iPad, when I go to a edit location name for a family member on my account, then select a...

Calendar settings gives the option to sync calendar anywhere from 2 weeks back to all events. Curious why someone would choose to sync only a limited time back as opposed to all events, in the case that you wanted to check which day an event occurred. What would be the point in having those...

I don't want to use iTunes. I remember I had an app on Android that let me set a FTP server on the phone and could access it via my Windows PC and just copy things over, it worked really good. Then I could turn off the server when I was done. I've been trying to find something on iOS, but its...

Hello everyone. There's something I can't figure out... With share across devices is on, I can only see a blank page when I try to check my screen time report. Either on my Mac and iPhone. This problem has been continued for so long. I DDGed and got nothing useful. I've even contacted Apple...

Hi all, I’m having an issue with FaceTime. On my MacBook and iMac I am pretty sure I used to be able to see my recent call list from calls I made on my iPhone. They don’t update anymore. Also if I had a missed call show up on both macs if I cleared it on one it would also clear on the other...

I've been producing videos since the mid 90s, and I've never experienced this. It's kind of complicated - so here it goes. 
 I usually use my iMac, which doesn't have any of these sync problems, but I do have the problems when I use my MBP, (2.8Ghz, 16GB RAM, i7, 15 inch, 2017). Also, I have the...

Hi all, I’m having a very frustrating issue with iOS (and iPadOS) calendar, synced to my google account. I use my calendar to manage events in different time zones, and for the most part it works well. However whenever I try to change an all-day event into one with a specific time through the...

Hello. Is there any way to force an iCloud file sync on MacOS? I save documents to the Files app on my iPhone and they take days to sync to my MacBook Pro. This is super annoying when I need to continue reading that document on my MacBook instead of my iPhone - only to find out it didn’t sync...

Hi everyone! First post! Love the site and everyone on it. I'm a fairly technical guy but I cannot work out why my contacts won't sync across my devices. I use an iPhone 12 Pro Max, I have an iMac, 2 iPads, 2 MacBooks, but the contacts do not sync between devices in terms of the names that...

Since upgrading to Big Sur the Music app has started cutting off the first few seconds of songs -- on the computer and also on the iOS devices it syncs to. I've tried all fresh downloads, I've tried a new library, I've tried a new user. (I do NOT have "Crossfade" enabled.) I am wondering if...

Device/OS info: MacBook Pro w/Big Sur, iPhone 11 w/latest iOS, HomePod Mini. I've started trialing Apple Music to see if just being completely in the Apple ecosystem will make my life easier. So far, not so much. I'm experiencing a variety of confusing scenarios, mainly about playlists being...

I got a new phone the other day and have set it up on my mac eco system at home. At this point I cant remember which settings i have changed in photos on the iphone, possibly i turned off "icloud photos" on my phone. I did this because when i opened photos for the first time on my phone i saw...

I use iCloud for syncing and short-term backups in the Photos app. I move all my photos and videos to an external hard drive for archiving yearly. In previous years, I would allow the Photos app for macOS auto sync and download all original files to a library on an external drive. I’ve been...

Hello, in the photos app i noticed it says syncing, and its been like that for a while. Is there a reason for it? is there a way for me to have it stop?

I would like to add some non-iTunes music to my iPhone XR. In the past, I did this by putting the music onto iTunes on my laptop and syncing my laptop with my iPhone. Being a little slow, I now think I see that because my laptop has Music instead of iTunes, I can't sync anymore unless I...

I am having trouble synching my books (non-DRMed epub/pdf) and music (non-DRMed m4a) to my iPad. I've seen guides (like this one: https://support.apple.com/en-au/guide/mac-help/mchl562e1847/mac) on how to sync via finder. BUT what I cannot find is a guide on how to add things into my library so...

Mac Pro 5,1 running 10.14.6 (18G95). All backups and as much as can be done via iTunes (12.9.5.5) is done through there direct connected. Book Library will sync correctly about 20% of the time. Other times, only about 30% of the books appear on the iPhone (X running iOS 12.4). Have toggled the...

When going for long term holidays, i want to have all of my files with me, so i can continue doing work from there. But im not talking about remotely connecting to my home computer, nor carrying the 27"iMac with me. I guess i could just get a MacBookPro and connect it to some display and have...

Hi! Can anyone help me with this: I run a pretty large iTunes library on a Synology NAS which i access with my Mac Pro from 2012. The highest OS i can run on that is High Sierra which is not compatible with Apple Music. I also have a MacBook Pro 2015 running MacOS Catalina wich can't run iTunes...

I have recently acquired an iPhone SE 2020 256GB (my first smartphone) and I have now signed up to 200GB iCloud. I have previously kept all my photographs on my Catalina iMac and sync'd to my iPad Pro via iTunes but I have now transferred all my photos onto the iCloud. The iMac and iPad are...
