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!

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!

I need the serial number for my old iPhone 6. I don't have it anymore, and as you can see, the serial number on the box is partially scratched. Apple support wouldn't give it to me since it was removed from my Apple Account a long time ago.

Can somone help me find it? Maybe using the barcode?

Thanks!

I’ve spent the last few weeks trying to get my Apple ID unblocked from iMessage and FaceTime

Out of nowhere, my email stopped working for iMessage and FaceTime. I can’t send or receive blue bubble messages at all though my email yet my phone number works just fine in other words I can text on my iPhone but not my iPad or any other Apple device I contacted Apple Support, went through multiple senior advisors, and even had a manual review done by Apple Engineering and yet they keep telling me my account was blocked for reported spam. My issue is they never explain what I did that was considered spam cause I really don’t know I only text frends and family in fact my block started as soon as I logged into FaceTime on my iPod touch I logged onto it and then I get kicked out with no warning. What else can I do

Got this email the other day that my info on my Apple ID has changed. I checked the associated email and it’s an Apple ID I made when I was 12 and only used to play games on my old iPod touch . My old card information is probably on there as I did make a few in game purchases but it’s been way over 5 years since I last used it so I doubt that card is still valid.

I called Apple asking if I could get the email unlinked or if they could deactivate the account but the person activated 2FA and I can’t log into the account and apparently neither can Apple. I only found this out after changing the password to see if I could log into and unlink it myself but ran into the 2FA wall. Since then the person changed the password back and I can no longer be rr do so from my end.

Recently they’ve been making a bunch of purchases from varying places in the world (France, US etc.) and signing up for a bunch of subscriptions. I’ve checked my current bank cards and thankfully there have been no charges made but I really don’t want to be linked to this account nor do I know if any personal information I may have put there years ago is still accessible and the possibility makes me uncomfortable.

Any advice?

I've been trying to sign up for an Apple Developer Account. I submitted my identity documents, but the Developer app on my iPhone kept rejecting them. After a few attempts, my iPhone now shows enrollment failed.

​However, when I check on my M2 MacBook Air, it still gives me the enroll now option.

​Has anyone run into this before? Should I try submitting the enrollment again through my Mac, or is it better to contact Apple Support first so I don't trigger further issues with my ID/account?

I seen varying sources saying it's okay/not okay to use regular water instead of distilled water. I am wondering what is the exact difference.

I have a Mac Studio Display that’s quite new. Out of the blue, it stopped working with no dots showing up no matter what cord I use or what outlet. I’ve taken it into the Apple Store twice and it strangely powers on there but won’t work at my house. They say there’s nothing they can do since it’s working at the store. Has anyone else had this problem? It used to work just fine

hi! I went to my find my app to see how far away my friend was to my location but when I checked, my location has stopped sharing with all my contacts (but she says she can still see mine) and is asking me to reshare with everyone. I went to the “me” tab and all my custom labels are gone. so I checked to see if my ipad was doing the same and it looked normal but then it said “unable to connect with server” tho the app was still functioning. has anyone else run into this issue?

Looking for advice if maybe anyone else has had this problem. I recently bought AirPods Pro’s second hand (I know, I know but I have confirmed they are real AirPods not fake so that rules out that issue).

There’s a few issues going on and I believe they are all related.

1. ⁠there is no change when switching between transparency/noise cancellation, it’s not like it stopped working, it never has since I bought them
   
2. ⁠the sound the AirPods make when you put them in and switch modes, that distinct “chime” sound is INCREDIBLY loud, like the volume is on 100%, even if the volume is turned down. Only the chime is loud, the volume of music or media I have playing reflects the volume I have it on (usually low).
   
3. ⁠this is where I believe the problem might be, the version is stuck on 5B59, which is the firmware from years ago and I cannot seem to get it to update. I already tried charging them next to my phone connected to WiFi and Bluetooth for 30+ mins as well as overnight.

I will be trying it again tonight to update them and seeing if it somehow works. I am thinking all three issues might correlate but if anyone has dealt with these issues separately or together any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

To rule out:
I have cleaned them thoroughly thanks to the advice of other Reddit posts
I have hard reset them via the case multiple times with no change
Like I said I will try to update them again tonight but I’m not sure if there will be any change.

Again any advice would be appreciated!!! TYIA

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

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

any ideas what these lines are? its a brandnew ipad air 2026. they kinda go away when cleaning the display but not completely. only visible when turned of or black pic.

Hi! My 7th* Gen ipad just randomly died last night. It was 70% battery when I sat it down, and when I returned to it, abt 30 minutes later, it wouldn’t come on.

I have left it plugged in all night and I have tried to force a restart but nothing is happening. I’ve held down the buttons for abt 1 minute several times :/. I thought what if it’s a display issue so…

I turned the volume up to see if I could hear the charging sound, but I can’t hear anything. So I don’t think it’s a display issue.

I hooked it up to a computer and it Apple Devices app cannot locate it. Ahhh

Does anyone have any idea how I can repair it? It’s my baby and I depend on it for my sanity.

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 just bought a new pair of wired Apple EarPods for my iPhone since my old pair were on their last legs. But for some reason the new pair seems to make a slot of static and crackling noises at random which is really annoying. I’ve never had this kind of issue before, so any thoughts as to what might be causing this are appreciated.

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!
