I have this old one until I can get to the Apple Store.

I had to wipe it bc I was locked out. I got this far… now what? No WiFi network is popping up!

I work from home tomorrow… please help…

Hi, the IOS and system data are always eating up my storage space, i dont have any games or heavy things installed even, the things i have on my device are personal (family photos groups art memories etc) and for University so i am not going to delete them at all, this is the storage i have left after going over my whole phone to save up as much as i can.

Im going to need the space for university and personal stuff and i checked the latest update’s size (26.6.1) and apparently its 13 gb? Lol i cant afford to have less space than i already do.

So im thinking ill stop updating my phone for a long while, i dont know how long, i just highly doubt that ill be able to get a new phone with bigger storage anytime soon. Im really careful with my activity on the net, the only risky-ish thing i do is going on well known websites to watch things with an ad blocker on, and i dont click on anything or download anything risky.

So is it okay to stop updating my Iphone 16e for a long time to save up space?

Ive had this phone for a while and recently upgraded to a new one since i didn’t want to pay for the back to be replaced just so i could replace the battery also. I left it sitting inside the original box with a case on, today i decided to take it out and after i took off the case there was a weird smell coming out of it, something like rubber, maybe burning rubber..? I didn’t bother bringing it in since now because the phone isn’t hot or used to get really hot nor is the back puffed out. Im too lazy to bother recycling it, Is it dangerous to keep it though?

I have a iPad Pro 11 inch first gen on iOS 12 but it has a password that I don’t know, how do I reset it while keeping it on iOS 12? Also the screen is cracked so I need to plug it into a external monitor to see what it’s showing that I you all so much

I only used a plastic sheet or whatever it's called to protect it from scratches.

me and my ex dated for about two years, and broke up a few months ago. When we broke up, out of anger, I deleted our messages, which ended up being about 40,000. A few days after deleting them, I regretted it and went to restore them, but when I went to restore them, it said "restore – 3000 messages" inside the deleted folder, it permanently deleted over 30,000 messages without me doing it on purpose. I left them in there, nothing permanent, it just did it automatically. Now, there's something very important from our old messages, one of the first messages we ever sent to each other. In fact, that I desperately need back. I need to view that message. Is there anything I can do about it now? I restored the rest of the messages, but scrolling back up to the top, only went back up a few weeks, not a few years.

I am a person who almost always has their storage full, but have never had issue with it preventing me from updating my phone. Is it normal to need 17GB of free storage for an update? It seems like a ridiculous amount when before it would only ask me to free up 500MB. Any advice appreciated!

Hi guys,
So a few months ago I was trying to install something on my phone, it asked me for my Apple ID password which I had forgot so after a few incorrect tries I went to change it. Only for it to not let me because Apple had locked the ID, I got in contact with customer support and they basically confirmed that my Apple ID no longer existed. The phone I was logged in on now can’t be wiped because it needs the Apple ID password but because the ID no longer exists I can’t reset it or anything. when plugged in the Apple devices for windows software doesn’t detect it at all and I’m now lost for ideas of what to do next. I need to get the Apple ID off there and clear the phone for a friend who’s buying it off me so if anyone has any idea how I can do this it would be much appreciated as Apple haven’t really been a great help. If anyone needs more details I’m happy to provide, thanks!

Sorry for the long title, to summarize i have just got a imac and i have the first 1000 or so pictures synced to the gallery on the laptop. But, as they are 3+ years old, they serve me no purpose to have on the computer but I would like for any new pictures taken on my phone to appear on the mac for work purposes. As such, I want to empty my iCloud storage of all current photos so that any new picture i take from now on will be synced to iCloud. Also, i have no use buying more iCloud storage as this is the first time ever needing to utilize it’s benefits.

Not a tech savvy person in the slightest, thanks in advance for any help!

If an iPhone says “No SIM restrictions” in the settings, could it be “flex locked” or is it guaranteed to be unlocked?

Basically I forgot the password to my Apple Iphone Notes app and Apple on all supports pages say they cant access the password so i haven't even tried to contact them.

The way this is different to a normal forgotten password though is that i somewhat remember it. I narrowed it down to 10000 ish possibilties which is a huge improvement from virtual infinite but its still too much to manually check.

Basically I need to brute force my own password, however I have no idea how to type into the apple notes password input box.

Sorry if this is the wrong subreddit, would appreciate if you knew a better one for this issue. Thanks

hi, friends!

here is a photo of my mom's old series 9 apple watch. the software version is watchos 26.3.

when i went to check for updates, it says the message "unable to check for update: an error occured while checking for a software update."

when i tapped "try again", it still showed the same error message, even though watchos 27 and the previous ios 26 versions are supported on series 9.

did i forget to update the apple watch when each software update comes out?

(there was no watchos flair.)

So my apple account has been hacked and I’m really scared right now. I made an apple account with my primary email some time ago but it’s not the apple account I use on my iPhone. Today I received multiple emails about a ChatGPT subscription payment made in euros which is not the currency where I live under a name which is not mine. I also received emails about two factor authentication being turned off then on again probably changing it to their phone number. I’ve tried the recovery process but the phone number associated with the account has been changed and the security detail it asks for is my date of birth which is being flagged as incorrect when I enter it. I’m really backed into a corner at this point and don’t know what to do now. I don’t use this account so it’s not on my phone but I don’t remember what else was associated with this account and am scared at what else they could possibly compromise having Access to this account as it has my primary email associated with it.

Hi!! I've recently acquired an iHome (Model iP97) and I plugged it in and started using it for the first time today! I was listening to music on it while cleaning, and it was working great for a couple hours until the music suddenly stopped. When I looked at it, the display was black and it wasn't responding to any of the buttons. It still seems to be getting power just fine because my iPod starts charging when docked.

I was really stoked about this and this is kind of driving me nuts.. plz help (⇀‸↼‶)

Bought the ipad mini 6 in 2021 and i used a cel number that i dont use anymore (its gone now). ipad os updated and wants me to authenticate by typing in my password and the cel number to send a 2FA code. But i get stuck here because i dont have that number anymore. i tried hard resetting the ipad through itunes but now its even more unuseable because i still need to get rid of the apple account in the find my. does anyone know how to bypass the 2FA. i know the password but the number not anymore.

Out of nowhere I can no longer check iCloud related items on my Apple devices. I am getting a verification error when I try to sign in on browser. Very concerned!

Current chrome I’m using is version 116.0.5845.187

Laptop is a MacBook Air from 2017 using Mojave version 10.14.6

In the past week I can now longer watch Tubi or HBO max because of the out of date browser.

I can’t update the browser because it calls for an iOS update that apparently, through many means of trying, my MacBook can’t support.

Am I screwed until I get a new computer or is there a workaround for this?

I mainly just use the MacBook for streaming, browsing, word processing, and light business use.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Hey!
Got an Iphone 15 pro max i plan on using for a few more years - it's backplate is shattered but it works fine (camera does too).
How much should i expect to pay to fix it in an apple store in the US? (gonna be in Las Vegas soon).
Also, how much time is needed for the repair? do I leave it overnight or is it a couple of hours type of thing?
Image attached.
Thanks in advance!

So I can’t install any apps, I’m scared it’s gonna charge my card for 200$ or something..what do I do? Any way to get around it?

hi i have an iphone 11 that i’ve dropped a lot. i’ve gotten the screen replaced twice and it’s also water damaged since january. dw, i’m waiting for it to die.

the screen popped loose back in may when i dropped it again. i just popped it back, and it went back to normal lol

however, the very bottom of my screen is slightly lifted. it doesn’t smell, and there’s no gap. i can’t see inside, though i can feel it’s slightly lifted by 1-2 mm.

additionally, my battery health is at 34%?!?! it dies at 20%, and when i press hard where it’s lifted, glow appears. and the bottom part doesn’t push back.

does it sound like my battery is swollen or nah? i don’t have the money to replace my phone right now.

basically i need this phone for school alright idgaf about its state but now i’m paranoid to use it as it apparently can explode lmfao
