    The Single Biggest Issue Or Problem You Have With Any Apple Desktop?

    Unfortunately tons of software is available only for windows, including games. So I have VMware fusion for those situations. But by experience I always know about somebody got his/her PC formatted or infected by virus or run too slow. Then I smile. Sent from my iPad using iMore Forums

    Do You Prefer An iTunes Backup Or An iCloud Backup?

    iCloud is the way to go, unfortunately 5 GB (free) is useless today. Between my iphone and ipad it takes all. I hope apple can release more space and match box 50 GB. Sent from my iPad using iMore Forums
