Sorry if this was already posted, couldn't find anything through search.

So, if you're one of those who have Error 4000 in iTunes when updating iOS you need to remove the passcode and keep device unlocked before the update starts. Weird, but it seems to help.

Solution taken from here: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/trying-to-update-to-ipad-os-14-itunes-giving-error-4000.2255178/

UPD: Another potential fix is to set Auto-lock to Never in Settings > Display&brightness, and keep device unlocked before the update starts. Ping in comments if this really helps.

I think I'll repost this when public beta will roll out, but due to a lot of "non-devs" having access to dev accounts and dev betas, it makes sense to post now as well.

For the love of all cute ponies in this world, DO NOT forget to save your iOS 13 backup to an external drive before updating to iOS 14. Each year we have an army of people that forget to do this and then spam with "Help to save my data!!" after overwriting original backup (if there even was any).

It's extremely easy, just copy the folder with the weird name from ~/MobileSync/Backup folder to an external drive, then put it back when you need to restore ([how to find the backup](https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204215#findi

Should have posted this several weeks ago, but situation is almost the same after any iOS update. Lots of people have completely full devices and for whatever reason update via OTA instead of iTunes. As a result -- tons of threads with boot loops and "Oh no, I've lost all my important data!". And never backed up ofc...

From personal experience, it's enough to keep around 5% of disk space free (but not less than 2-3 GB, even on a 16GB SE) for temp files to prevent any issues with iOS, or glitches from apps that are caused by full disk space.

It's really not much, but can save you eons of time/job/joy/etc.

Issues you may have when device is full (just some):

• Random data loss (p

Not sure if this is a bug or some trouble with my files.

I have a folder on my desktop with lots of stuff including 30k of cosplay photos mixed in different folders that I want to extract and sort. I use search to filter JPEG files (Search > filter by kind), then use Cmd + A to select all photos (but same behavior with click first photo > scroll to the bottom > Shift + click on last photo).

After I press Cmd + A, Finder starts to use 250% of CPU and hangs with beachball, then in 1-2 minutes CPU drops to 100%, but I get a memory leak for up to 60+GB. Even splitting folders and searching in just 1/3 of total folders causes same behavi

Decided to share this after all the hype regarding iCloud backup encryption yesterday.

While encrypted backups with iTunes are end-to-end encrypted and should be the most secured way to store backup data at the moment, there are major troubles with low SSD space and iTunes backup option over Wi-Fi that works when it wants to.

This is where iMazing can help. The Wi-Fi connection works quite good (at least definitely better than in iTunes), and it allows changing backup location to an external drive or NAS. Backups are the same as with iTunes (not sure if there's even any way to make backups not through Apple's API), so fully encrypted and can be used with iTunes late

Hey everyone! Need some clarification here. I have a really large amount of photos on my Mac (around 35k) and want to import them on my phone to Camera Roll (called Recents now in Photos app). iCloud sync is not an option as they have different iCloud accs and I can't change this.

I'm planning to use Google Photos for transfer, but wonder if there will be any issues with HEIC conversion to JPEG (or broken HEIC as a result) when moving photos from Mac to Google. Should I be OK with the free option or better get the 100GB plan for this month just in case?

I was also thinking about AirDrop, but not sure how long will it take, it's around 50 GB of data. Any thoughts if this will take more than

Hey guys. Is there any app that allows to change typed text language with a shortcut? Can't form an understandable question for Google.

Example: I forgot to change input language from Russian to English and typed some piece of text before noticing, but I'm too lazy to type it from start :)

Hey guys! Originally posted this to r/iphone, but it can make more sense here.

Decided to make a short guide for those who want to start fresh (or who needs to due to bugs season, or if there are jailbreak leftovers in the backup), but want to transfer apps that don’t have a separate iCloud backup (or any native backup solution). Also works if you need to transfer some single app data from one device to another.

What you’ll need:

• iMazing (just trial version, no need to buy anything).
• Local backup of the old device that has app data (you can use old iTunes backup if you don’t have the device).
• New device (or old device after factory reset).

OK so I had issues with the phone losing network and decided to reinstall iOS (was 11.4 before reinstall, iPhone 7). When reinstalling with Restore in iTunes, I've received (-1) code, which leads to baseband chip according to Google. Also tried restarting with iMazing and it fails on a step related to baseband...

I've already tried multiple restarts, recovery, DFU mode. While searching for the solution with thinking of where I'll be able to get some loan for a new phone I've found a workaround with heating the device while restoring with a hairdryer! Wanted to ask if someone heard/used this method and if yes (and it's not a trolling) should there be any issues with 7 and what should I be aw
