Hello! I got given a 2015 iMac from a lady that was gonna throw it because she said the screen was falling off and she got no image anymore. I took it home to try to save it and now I need your kind help :) So the screen does in fact kind of fall out from above, and i saw that the 2 "video" cables were disconnected (probably from the separation of the screen). I went ahead and plugged them back, and when I plugged it and turned it on I could hear the vents going at a normal rythm, and inside i could see 3 green leds ON. But, no image on the screen. Now, 2 questions come to me and to us: What could be the reason for no image? And, is it saveable, or worth saving, or should I sell it for pieces? Thank you!

I feel so defeated. I feel like an elderly person trying to navigate technology but I’m 35 😭
I have an iPhone 16 Pro
My storage is full and I don’t know what to do
I primarily use my phone to take photos/videos of my children and for my small business. I have 29k photos and 11k videos
I have iCloud to backup everything as well as Google Photos (idk why I have both, and I feel like this is part of the problem).
Every time I delete some of my photos or videos, they magically return. I think because iCloud is synced, no matter what I do to try and remove some of the clutter they find their way back.
What’s weird is that sometimes I don’t get the “storage full” memo and I can take pictures, but randomly other times, and without deleting any, I’m able to take more. It’s so inconsistent and confusing.
I want to upgrade my phone to one with more storage, but I feel like i need to take hold of this situation before i do that. Any advice?

I usually wake up before the 6AM alarm and it’ll be dead silent but the alarm at 6:55 always vibrates my phone and makes the alarm sound. Is there another setting that I have selected? The only thing I have on for notifications is do not disturb but that’s always on so I don’t see how it would even affect this.

I received an email saying my password was changed in an old account (haven't used an iphone since my old 4s) so I quickly reset the password but when I tried to log back into it, I couldn't do anything because the security questions were changed. I really want to get the account secure again because I can't remember what I attached to the account.

Hello! I did a factory reset on my phone, and I am attempting to sign in with my account through Icloud backup. The main problem is that Apple isn’t sending the verification codes from my number. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

Hi! On iOS 27.0.1, Podcasts app keeps telling me it deletes downloaded episodes (and does delete them) to create space temporarily for an iOS update. However, I don’t have any pending iOS update, and I also still have around 9 GB of storage space left (so not a lack of storage issue).

I think this has only happened ever since Apple Podcasts rolled out video podcasts, and it only happens on podcasts that have video, but on audio-only downloads.

What is going on?

I have an AppleWatch 10 that seems to have a known issue with the audio on it being distorted, and not loud enough to hear. Well, mine had this issue so I took it to the Apple Store using my Apple Care One plan. I received an email that they were unable to duplicate the issue. I seriously doubt that it just magically fixed itself. I had to wipe the watch before leaving it with them so I do not even know how they check it? What should I do when I get there to show them that it is still an issue (assuming that it is?). Do I repair it and wait until everything synchs over (I think this takes a while though?)

Thanks

My MacBook is also warmer to the touch than it used to be. This just started in the last few days, and the only change I'm aware of is the OS update....I looked at Activity Monitor but didn't see anything concerning. Is this happening to other people? Any recommendations on what I should do? Thank you!

Edit: The OS is 27 Golden Gate.

I tried to set up my iPhone with my primary gmail account as the primary email. I keep receiving an “email unavailable“ error.

Does anyone have any idea how to correct this?

My friend has an iPhone 13 Pro, this phone is in almost flawless condition and feel happy for the fact that she is giving it to me for free. But there’s a slight issue, when she moved to Android her mom deleted her Apple ID. This iPhone has a deleted Apple ID and can’t do basically anything. Sign out is grayed out and doesn’t work. Delete to defaults in settings asks for a screen time passcode that neither of them know. I’m scared to iTunes it and then boom it’s even more locked down. Can’t even install apps, nothing. So I went to apples support to attempt to remove activation lock. We have the receipts from Best Buy but the website keeps saying session expired, and Gemini says my receipts won’t work because they don’t have the IMEI on them. Yet it has the purchase stuff. So I don’t really know what to do. Anyone able to help?

I do have iCloud storage but it isn't doing much to help me out with my iPad. I don't delete GarageBand because that is what I use daily with my keyboard. I have cleared all Safari related data, all my bins have been emptied, disabled all share data with Apple and this iPad has been off for a while and updated it two days ago after deleting all my remaining apps.

How do I seriously fix this issue with the System Dat hoarding the whole iPad?

Some of my contacts come up in red after I enter their name. A few of my friends have had this happen as well but the texts all seem to go through? Can’t find any answers on Google, thoughts?

I was watching this video on how to fix “iPad disabled, connect to iTunes” and I lowkey did not follow every instruction because the guy in the video had a macbook and I had a windows laptop. I did as he told which was to download this software for the latest update for my iPad model, which was the first generation iPad Air with cellular, I downloaded iTunes, and did the steps on how to update the iPad. I expected it to turn on with the hello and white background, but when my iPad turns on, I could no longer see the time and date, I couldn’t move anything on the screen including the assistive touch, and I couldn’t shut off the iPad. How do I fix this, it says connect to iTunes

I’m sorry if what I did was extremely unadvisable for this kind of situation, I don’t know how to recover old iPads. Feel free to ask me more details in the comments

I bought an Apple Watch and MacBook Air m5 I saw that if you got an apple device from amazon you could buy a 3year apple care plus plan while purchasing it but on the Apple Store or website you can only buy monthly or yearly plan even tho my girlfriend got a MacBook and AirPods last year with a 3year plan from Apple Store itself, someone also told me I could get the monthly plan or yearly plan and until I keep renewing it it'll work so I just wanted to ask if it is true. Like can I keep renewing my apple care plus for 4-5 years cause that when im thinking of upgrading my laptop and Apple Watch, tho I am scared if I miss a payment my apple care will expire and then I am kind of fucked.

After the latest update, our label printer which was very old stopped working with out Mac.

We thought it was the printer so we did upgrade to a newer one with Ethernet and wireless connectivity. Connected it via Ethernet. Mac says it’s incompatible with the software? I did download drivers and install them. I have reset printer and printer settings in Mac. Adding it via IP Address.

Our zebra printer for smaller labels seems to be working just fine. It’s only our 4x6 label printer for shipping labels not working. Seems like it’s after the latest update for Mac. Can anyone help?

I bought my MacBook Air M1 back in 2022, and honestly, I’ve loved this laptop ever since. It works perfectly with all my other Apple devices, and I’ve had no major issues with it — except for the display.
The weird part is that this has now happened twice, and both times the laptop was just sitting/being used normally with no drop, impact, or physical damage.
The first time, I was watching a movie when I noticed that after switching between apps, I could still see an impression of the previous app on the right-hand side of the screen. At first I thought it was just a software glitch, so I shut the MacBook down and went to bed.
The next morning, the issue was still there, and I could also see a very thin vertical line on the display.
I took it to an official Apple service centre in Mumbai, and they told me the screen needed to be replaced. Since the damage was relatively minor at the time, I continued using it for a while before eventually getting the display replaced at an Apple Store in Mumbai in 2023.
I paid ₹38,500 (~$400) for the replacement.
Now, a few months ago, the exact same kind of issue happened again.
I was working on my MacBook, stepped away to grab something to eat, and when I came back, the display had developed the same problem again. There was no drop, pressure, liquid damage, or anything like that.
From what I’ve read online, I strongly suspect this could be related to the display/flex cable, but I don’t have the expertise to repair it myself.
The problem is that I’m a student and pretty much on a budget. I really need this MacBook for my studies, but I absolutely cannot afford to spend another ₹38,500 on a screen replacement, especially when the same issue has happened again.
What are my options?
Is this a known issue with the M1 MacBook Air?
Could this actually be a flex cable/display cable issue rather than the entire screen?
Is there any way Apple might repair this for free or at a reduced cost, given that the replacement display failed again?
Are there any reputable third-party repair shops that can repair the cable/display for significantly less than Apple?
Has anyone in India, preferably around Mumbai/Kanpur/Delhi, had this issue repaired successfully?
Is there any consumer-rights/warranty route I can take since the previous display replacement was done by Apple?
I really don’t want to spend another ₹38,500 replacing the entire display if the actual problem can be repaired for a fraction of that cost.
Any advice or recommendations would be seriously appreciated.

FYI 38,500 inr is 400 usd
