    Best I’ve heard yet, many don’t even think about backup before closing out their device. As some information stored on one may not be on other device owned. Thanks!

    One of the best videos answering a specific question I’ve ever seen. Go to Apple and you can be led all over trying to find how to do this without connecting to iTunes, which assumes you have iTunes handy. This shows there is no need for all that connect to your computer nonsense. I also appreciate the notr saying skip to 3:16 if you have a backup. Very thoughtful. Now on IOS 13 I’m faced with “documents and data are uploading to I cloud”. Which makes no sense since I already have turned off iCloud backup and find my iPhone. Sigh...

    • @christopherbuckley94
      @christopherbuckley94 Před 3 lety

      @@jaykayy5173-I never used the phone portion of the ipad. It was to take to seminars with PDF files rather print out paper that would just be tossed. I was able to use public wifi to access files and web mail. The problem with apple is that you cannot upgrade the os past a certain point and very few apps are available. They want you to buy a new machine.
