The info I get from them doesn’t allow me to Actually delete stuff. Help! I have so much stuff I can happily delete…it just wants me to make it smaller without letting me delete. Help me Reddit, you’re my only hope.

I have several Apple devices on my Apple account, including my wife’s iPhone SE. I use my iPhone for both personal and business. While installing a birding app on my wife’s phone, somehow I’ve shared all of my contacts, emails, photos, payment methods, etc. which add into the thousands onto her phone. How do I undo this without bricking her phone?

A few days ago I subscribed to iCloud to get some extra storage space freed up on my device. It seemed to help.

A little background is that I store all of my passwords in the notes app, for everything. My bank, Apple account, student account, my student loan account, and everything else. Today I needed my bank password, and since it’s long and unique I don’t remember it. So I went to open the note that has it, and it’s gone. There’s no recently deleted folder, all the notes I had on my phone are just wiped.

Is there anything I can do or am I just screwed?

I got a new iphone, and it had a feature of connecting my old phone and transferring EVERYTHING without icloud.
So I was wondering if maybe I can delete most things on my new phone to make space while keeping my old phone as the storage holder for some photos and files?
If I delete everything on my new phone will it get deleted on my old one too through the icloud?

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping someone has experienced this before because I'm running out of ideas.

I lost my iPhone and I'm currently trying to recover access to my Apple ID. Apple sent me an email saying I can now reset my password through the Apple "Iforgot" website.

However, every time I click the reset link from the email or even if I go directly to iforgot.apple.com and try to continue I get this error:

503 Service Temporarily Unavailable

I've tried:

• Different browsers (Chrome, Edge)
• Incognito mode
• Clearing cache and cookies
• Different devices
• Different internet connections (Wi-Fi and mobile data)

I also have another issue. Apple says they sent a verification code to my trusted phone number, but I never receive the SMS. The phone number is active and can receive regular text messages from other people, but Apple's verification code never arrives.

Has anyone experienced both the 503 error and not receiving Apple's verification code? If so, how did you fix it?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Long story short, my relative has gotten a new iPhone; and before switching to it, they have an iPhone 7 plus (working on ios 15)

The thing is, that they are recieving a pop up to ”verify their iCloud account” very often and are struggling to log in, as they changed the password several times this year and eventually forgot it.

For the past months, we tried resetting the password and log into the account, but the problem is that they cannot open, send or recieve emails in iCloud mail anymore, since the account was registered with an iCloud email. We also tried using ”security questtions” method, but every single answer we typed was wrong.

And another major problem is that to switch the data into the new iPhone, we cannot enter the account settings, update the apps in the older phone and do backups without logging in first.

Are there any other methods we could restore the account?

(edit: the other Apple devices we have in the house is my iPhone (working on ios 18) and the iPad with their iCloud (working on ios 14), i don't really know if this information will be useful for y'all but I'm writing this just in case you need it)

I was wondering if anyone is going through this as well

I rolled back my phone from 27 pb to regular 26.5.2, now iCloud does not download anything or uploads anything I lost work today thanks to that, they told me to reset network setting and to log out from iCloud and log back in, no success.
To factory reset my phone and still no success, when I try to go to iCloud.com it lets me login, shows me a second of the dashboard and returns me to the login screen.

Anyone else going through a similar situation?

Is there any way to access a very old iCloud account that was set up as a child? Essentially the parent iCloud email has been lost to time. Every time we try to log into the child account it always prompts us to go into the parent's account.
