    Latest MacOS for Mac Minis

    Sorry if this is not the right sub-forum to post this on. I came across a post on FB marketplace for two Mac Mini computers selling for $80. Are these specs ok for the price? I'm more a Windows guy when it comes to computers. My 15 year old has been wanting a Mac but I've always thought of them...

    Messages using up iCloud storage vs iPhone storage

    Trying to free up storage on my iPhone & iCloud. Noticed that Messages is using up almost 62GB of my 200GB iCloud storage. I have “Sync this iPhone” enabled. I only have my iPhone, no iPad or Mac. Do I really need to have sync this iPhone enabled? What are the pros and cons of disabling it...

    Calendar Time Settings Incorrect

    iPhone 8 running iOS v14.5.1 Recently I noticed when making a new calendar entry/appt, let’s say I set it to 1:30pm-2:30pm and click on Add, it’ll show as 5:30pm-6:30pm instead. This didn’t happen before and only started happening recently. I don’t recall making any calendar settings changes...

    iPhone keeps disconnecting from WiFi

    Lately my iPhone has been acting weird where it randomly disconnects from my home Wi-Fi. I have to then join the network again and re-enter the Wi-Fi password as if I were joining it for the first time. It’s running iOS 14.3. Wife and kids also have iPhones, XR and 7, but they’re not...
