Well, the songs are in Playlists - the ones that Apple creates (New, Chill, etc.). What I wanted was for Siri to randomly play songs from all the different playlists.

That does not work. It will just start playing my entire library, regardless of whether the songs are on the iPhone or not.

Is there a Siri command (either using the iPhone or Apple Watch) that will tell my iPhone 8 to play ONLY the music that is downloaded to it? I have tried turning OFF Cellular for streaming but all that does is cause a message to come up that cellular is turned off. I have tried within the Music...

I just added the three Apple curated music lists to my library (New Music, Chill, Favorites) and downloaded them to my iPhone. I would also like to add them to my Apple Watches. The question is what happens when each week the list is changed? Are the downloads on the iPhone and Watch replaced by...

Second question - already had started the process because I was told in another forum and by the Apple tech that during the merge iCloud Photo Library should have asked about the duplicates which it hasn’t to this point As far as deleting the same senior Apple tech specifically told me that...

Yes I know that. But it doesn’t answer my question about the Photos app at iCloud.com. But thanks anyway.

I was told by an Apple Tech that the only way to permanently delete a photo/video file from your iCloud Photo Library (as opposed to just deleting it from your devices) was to use the Photos app at iCloud.com. I am in the process of merging my original iCloud Photo Library with one that is much...

I have two Photos library - one has about 4500 photos/videos and is the System Library and the one connected to iCloud Photo Library so the photos show up on all our devices and the other has all my photos (about 77,000 photos and videos). My wife would like access to all the photos on her iOS...

That helps!!! Can’t imagine what my library of over 75K would take up.

Thanks. But can you also check the actual iPhone storage because that is what I am concerned with as my wife’s devices have less internal memory than mine.

Thanks. But when I look at that page it says 530MB but if I tap on the listing the see the size of the photo library in addition to the app size. Could you check that and tell me how many photos and videos are in your library. Thanks a lot.

My wife would like me to put our entire photo library in iCloud so that she can look at everything on her iPhone and iPad. Right now I have a small portion (around 4500 photos and videos) and on my iPhone 8 it says it takes up 555MB for the Photos App PLUS 4.66 GB for the Photo Library. Our FULL...

That would work BUT (1) my better half is not the most computer literate person and more importantly (2) she loves the way that the Photos app is integrated with the MacOS - easy to send pics via Facebook, Messages and email. So while that would work - it probably will not work for her. Thanks...

I have a rather large photo library (over 75,000 photos). They are on my iMac in a Lightroom library (hate Apple for discontinuing Aperture but that is another story). My wife and I also share an iCloud Photo Library using the Photo app on two iMacs, two iPhones and two iPad Mini which has about...

Yes, those are the official Apple ones that cost almost $60. I know about those, but was hoping for something decent and a bit cheaper.
