So no icloud backup? Are you able to sync via USB to iTunes on another computer or does it request your key code? If you have access to a Windows computer you should be able to access your photos in Windiws Explorer from THE DCIM folder. Also if you're still running iOS 10 there is a chance...

If Safari is getting slower as you say changing browsers is not the answer. You can reset Safari by holding the Option key while opening the app. You can clear your data, history, cookies ext. Look at how many extensions you have and remove any you don't recognise or use. Make sure you do not...

Given the new features of iOS 11 see; https://www.imore.com/promotion It might be worth considering if you think the new features will a benefit to you and your needs.

At the current price I can only afford to upgrade every 2 years. I usually buy the model before the most current release because it often goes down in price a little after the release of the next model and it usually is able to use the current iOS as well as any updates or upgrades over the...

As for earphone access don't forget the new cordless EarPods and they will work on all devices. No more messy cables and there are plenty of other Bluetooth alternatives so other than audio components an earphone jack maybe fast becoming redundant.

If the trackpad does not depress it's likely due to the battery swelling, a definite sign it's on the way out. As for which 2016 model to go for, I'm reluctant to buy a new release model until it's been in use for a while so I usually buy last years best model. Currently I have a late 2015 13"...

You have not synced your iPhone to your laptop iTunes app. Setting it up as a new phone is what you need to do. Assuming you are using the same iTunes account on both devices. You will be asked to name the iPhone, iTunes will make a backup of all the data on the phone, you will have the same...

Re: Best app for keeping passwords Another vote for Enpass. The basic version is free, syncs across all my iDevices via iCloud, keeps all your passwords locally not on a remote data base.

This is a really annoying glitch of iOS 10 iCloud Drive document sharing and until it is fixed I would suggest not using iBooks as a PDF reader. There are plenty of alternatives, I use DocumentsToGo which reads most document formats, is free, allows editing and can sync to a matching desktop app.

You know when you search for a nightstand clock you get a lot of alarm clocks, some with proximity sensors, some with weather, landscape views, timed music designed to put you to sleep etc, etc. After a lot of searching I finally found one that was easy to see but did not illuminate the whole...

Re: how to unsintall this on my yosemite macbook ? As you have already had a pretty good shot at it the task is a little more difficult. I would suggest you reinstall soundflower and use a better deinstalled. Personally I use a free utility called app trap. But CleanMyMac 3 also does a good job...

Re: os x / ios wifi network how can i keep one on ios and get it off os x You do not mention which Operating System you are using but assuming it is OS 10.9 or later you will find that it automatically searches for previously used networks. This enables you to take it to a restaurant, bar...

Re: Can I FaceTime on the 6s It's not just the phone it's the network. your iPhone 6s will come with FaceTime installed wheather you can use it depends on the carrier. Search for the answer for the country you will be in on the web.

Re: iphone 4 wifi & power button not working Sad to say I think it's a service centre for you. I don't suppose the power button has somehow jammed in the down position? I dont see how the WiFi problem is related to the power button but it's possible you lost your WiFi settings after reset...
