    Worth upgrading late 2013 MacBook Pro now ?

    Posted: 03 Feb 2021 08:46 PM PST

    Can someone help me understand if its worth it for me to upgrade?

    I'd mostly use it for coding: python, r, and other languages im learning. Along with standard Netflix occasionally.

    I currently have: MacBook Pro i7 2.3GHz 15" (Late 2013) 512GB SSD.

    It's hard for me to understand all nuances of technical features. I'd like to get something new but not sure if I should wait?

    My current MacBook Pro battery absolutely sucks even though I've gotten it replaced in past. Sometimes it won't charge when connecting Cord which is annoying too. Battery cycle count is 563.

    • I'm trying to weigh benefits of upgrading to something now vs waiting vs trade in value of my computer ? Will Apple come out with a new laptop in fall that'll be worth waiting ?
    • Apple says they'll give $350 for it. Can I get higher somewhere else? What should I aim for / where to sell ?
    • it seems m1 MacBook Air is a good deal? I couldn't tell how MacBook Pro m1 was better in a meaningful way?
    • what would you do?

    Appreciate your help!!!

    (Question) Itunes cant restore iPhone because not enough free space

    Posted: 03 Feb 2021 07:06 PM PST

    As the title states, I'm having trouble restoring my iPhone 8 to a backup. I have a backup of my phone on ios 13.5 on my computer and I would like to go back to it but whenever I choose to restore from back up it gives me an error saying I don't have enough storage on my iPhone. My phone is currently on ios 14.3. Does anyone have any suggestions I can try? Would factory resetting my phone and restoring it through Itunes work?

    Syncing iCloud photos for the first time

    Posted: 03 Feb 2021 08:24 PM PST

    Hi all! I have a question about syncing photos. I recently turned on my iCloud photos. I wanted to sync the photos from my phone to be backed up onto my computer to save space. For some reason all the photos from a school owned iPad I was signed into TWO YEARS ago also synced to my laptop.

    I was a teacher at the school and logged in using my AppleID. I no longer work there and of course signed out of the iPad before I left. I am now paranoid that because of this, all of the photos from my phone have been synced to the school iPad I used to use. Is there any possible way this could happen? I apologize if this is a ridiculously stupid question. I just don't want a random student have access to all my photos from the past 5 years.

    When I go into "manage my devices" it does not show the iPad as something I'm logged into with my AppleID.

    Random Black screen in Big Sur

    Posted: 03 Feb 2021 08:06 PM PST

    Sorry if this has been discussed already. Has anyone experienced their Mac screen randomly going black after which you'd have to typically force restart to get back? I have no battery issues, do normal but high intensity office work related stuff, and have a fully loaded 2018 MBP 15". I even reformatted the machine and rebuilt it clean with Big Sur 11.1 (today: latest update applied) and still no change.

    It's driving me nuts and I simply cannot reproduce the problem let alone try to explain this to Apple support on the phone.

    Sometimes it blacks screens when the battery is above 50% and upon attempted restart says battery is dead. Other times battery drains to 1% before it normally shuts off. It's even gone black screen when it's plugged in!

    Gut says it's the battery but every check comes back clean.

    Thanks for any help you can give, in advance.

    Verification Required Login Required Bug

    Posted: 03 Feb 2021 07:28 PM PST

    So I've been having this issue for about a week now and it keeps on happening. I'm trying to download an app off of the app store (that is free) and once it processes, I get the message of "Verification Required". I check to make sure everything's right and click done. The same message pops up no matter how many times I do it. Does anyone know a solution to this?

    Separating two phone numbers from the same Apple ID in iMessage and Facetime

    Posted: 03 Feb 2021 09:49 PM PST

    So my family has been on Apple products for ages. For some reason, my mom and I have never separated our Apple ID and she and I have had to navigate sharing the same info for years. Recently she had a pop up on her iPhone 8 to add my number to her phone. We've previously had the setting for Send & Receive off for a long time, but she somehow turned it off recently and started to receive my iMessages.

    My goal would be to ensure that we don't run the risk of her accidentally selecting something which enables her to receive my messages without her knowledge. She often clicks through pop-ups quickly without really understanding what they're asking, which I believe lead us to this problem.

    I'm aware that there's a feature to deregister numbers from an Apple ID, but I don't want to have either of us lose all of our info on our phones.

    Is there a way for us to separate the two numbers so that they're both on the same Apple ID but unable to send and receive each other's iMessages and Facetime calls? I'd like to keep this as painfree as possible, but I know the ultimate solution would be to create a new Apple ID and transfer her info to that. She has about 1,700 notes she's not willing to part with, and I have 200GB on my iPhone X that I don't want to reroute.

    Any suggestions? Thanks.

    tried to backup my new iphone 12 mini but it says this iPhone cannot be backed up because there is not enough iCloud storage?

    Posted: 03 Feb 2021 09:47 PM PST

    i just just upgraded from a 7 to a mini 12 and went to tmobile and they helped me transfer all of my files successfully. However, i tried to backup my icloud on this new phone buy i received a message that said this iPhone cannot be backed up because there is not enough iCloud storage. When i go to my backups, it shows my old phones backup. Can i delete that to make space since its technically already on my new phone? Or is it worth it to update to 50gb?

    Sudden surge in robocalls and spam, what can I do?

    Posted: 03 Feb 2021 09:45 PM PST

    A couple days ago I started getting multiple robocalls and spam texts a day, a significant increase out of nowhere. I'm guessing my number was leaked or something. I've installed Truecaller to help filter but it's not always stopping each call despite identifying them and I don't know how secure I feel it is. So far I'm not comfortable giving it access to my texts as well.

    Anyone know other solutions I can explore or good (preferable free) services? I am on the do not call registry, good lot that does!

    Password and payment.

    Posted: 03 Feb 2021 05:37 PM PST

    We purchased an iPhone for my daughter for Christmas. I'd like to set it up where she can purchase things from the Store using gift cards or balances I transfer to her but NOT with the credit card I have connected for the monthly iCloud payment. Is there any way to either set it up so she can only use available balances and not use my cc (currently if there's no balance on her account it automatically switches back to my cc for payment), or is there a way to password protect it so I have to put in a different password in order to use the credit card on file, i.e. her username and password for balance purchases and a different username and password if there's no available balance? Currently it only ever asks for one username and password, and it lets her purchase using available balance or my cc.

    Thank you.

    Has 11.2 fixed the wifi issues in M1 MBA?

    Posted: 03 Feb 2021 09:08 PM PST

    I am literally days away from buying the MBA M1, but I want to make sure that the wifi issues have been fixed in 11.2.

    If you have the issue and already have it fixed by 11.2, please let me know, because some say the 11.2 update did nothing for them

    What does it mean to have an unlocked iphone?

    Posted: 03 Feb 2021 03:07 PM PST

    Im looking to buy a iPhone 11 Pro second hand, and am unsure of the regulations of cellular plans, I personally have Verizon, but if someone says in the description of their listing that it is an AT&T unlocked phone, does that mean I can still use it on my data if I switch sims?

    Why won’t my Macbook stay on unless it’s plugged into an external monitor?

    Posted: 03 Feb 2021 08:53 PM PST

    I've replaced the charger, even if the battery says it's at 100% the computer itself won't stay on for longer than 5 minutes, unless i plug it into another monitor.

    Apple Watch SE Notifications Quezfion

    Posted: 03 Feb 2021 08:15 PM PST

    I just got a new Apple Watch after switching from a Fitbit Versa. One thing that is bothering me and I'm not sure if there's a solution to - whenever I feel a vibration indicating a text message, I have to turn my wrist all the way in order to get it to light up and for me to read it. Back on the fitbit, the screen always turned on for a notification no matter what you were doing with your hand or what position it was in. This made it A LOT easier to sneak a peak at a notification without making a grande gesture of flipping your wrist enough for the damn thing to light up and show you your message.

    Is there any way to get the apple watch screen to light up for notifications regardless of you lifting your wrist up?

    iPhone crashing after IOS 14

    Posted: 03 Feb 2021 04:26 PM PST

    Ever since I did the update for IOS 14 on my XS when the update released, the phone has been crashing consistently. I'd say at least a few times a week. The screen just freezes with a bunch of purple lines then shuts off. Sometimes it comes right back on, sometimes it doesn't turn on for like 5-10 minutes.

    Since IOS 14 dropped I have been able to do IOS updates but only if I do it through iTunes. If I try doing it through my phone it just crashes mid update then turns on without the newest update finishing. Now it is nearly inoperable. The phone is extremely slow. It has shut off about 10 times in the past hour and seems to have gotten a lot worse just today. When I am able to get it to stay on, it just crashes whenever I launch an app. It won't even let me connect to wifi, every time I toggle the wifi symbol it just toggles off immediately.

    I hope this is the right place to seek help and would appreciate any feedback. FYI I've force restarted, updated IOS last month but haven't done 14.4 because I can't without it crashing, and I've factory reset it twice.
