    How to export text threads from an iPhone7

    Thanks! I was able to find that and cleared out a bunch of space on my iPhone by having the bulk of text messages uploaded to iCloud. But I still don't have a convenient way of exporting the messages. Apple has suggested either screenshots of the messages (which won't work too great because...

    How to export text threads from an iPhone7

    Although I have it set to forever and I would like to upload them to iCloud, I would like to export them so they are in an easier to read & search format. I can't even back them up to iCloud, as I get this message when I try to toggle Messages to on: ----------------- Messages in iCloud not...

    How to export text threads from an iPhone7

    Hello, I am looking for a way to export my text threads from my iPhone7. Does anyone know of a convenient way to do this? And an added bonus would be if I could later reimport them to another phone. Thanks!

    iPhone Photos app map feature - bug detected

    This is a very annoying feature in the Photos app. I have spoken with Apple about this and they know of no workaround or fix. I go to the Photos app, select Albums, then Places (under People & Places). I then navigate in the map to a location where I took a bunch of photos. When I tap on...

    Do Not Disturb function in 15.1 not working

    Update. I tried another experiment. I removed all people under 'ALLOWED NOTIFICATIONS' and turned on (or green) 'do not disturb'. I called the iPhone from my home phone and it rang. Then I tried calling it again, but entered *67 before dialing my 10 digit cell phone #. And this time it did...

    Do Not Disturb function in 15.1 not working

    I did talk with Apple tech support. They said if DND is on, the little moon will display in the upper right and if the moon is displayed, the phone should not ring. They added it can turn on by the user manually toggling DND from off (white) to on (green) or if it is in the white off position...

    Do Not Disturb function in 15.1 not working

    The # is listed in my contacts. But it is not among those listed as "allow calls from" with respect to DND.

    Do Not Disturb function in 15.1 not working

    Not sure. That doubles the # of scenarios I have to check from four to eight. What puzzles me is why Apple does not make this a little more straightforward. Why should the only way to determine if it works be to test it in all possible scenarios?

    Do Not Disturb function in 15.1 not working

    So I am using the new 15.1 IOS in which Do Not Disturb is buried within something called Focus. As it was unclear if the 'turn on automatically' is superseded by whether or not the Do Not Disturb switch is turned on or green, I decided to conduct some tests. 1) with DND on (or green) and with...

    Cannot download photos from iCloud

    Again, thanks for your feedback. An edited photo is one which the user (me) has made modifications to (e.g. cropped, enhanced the lighting, remove red-eye, change to black & white, etc.). If this is done in the iPhone (where I edit many photos), there is absolutely nothing to indicate it is an...

    Cannot download photos from iCloud

    Tartarus - I have over 40,000 photos and only need to download a few thousand of those. To download all of them would take a lot of extra time. Plus it is unclear if iCloud for Windows downloads the original or the edited version. A sync would likely work - in which I could navigate through...

    Cannot download photos from iCloud

    My apologies, but this was my question. Not sure why it allowed me to post a question without me logging in. Tartarus - would iTunes for Windows permit me to select the photos I want to download? Or does it simply download all? I'm only looking to download everything I have from around...

    iCloud - how to download both original & edited copies of a photo?

    I'm trying to download both my original photos and edited photos from iCloud. Let's say I have 2,000 photos of which 100 have been edited. To get both the edited photos and the originals, I have to download all 2,000 photos twice - once with 'Unmodified Original' selected and once with 'Most...

    How to retrieve originals of edited photos from iCloud

    Re: Drag & drop iPhone photos to Windows computer abruptly stops If you edit a photo using your phone, does iCloud Photo Library allow you to download the original? Can you navigate through the photos such that you can sort by date taken, file number, etc.?
