Around 5+years ago I got a ipad, it was my only and still my only apple product, I lost it years ago and found it, im not sure how or what happened but my ipad was signed out and honestly I dont remember what happened but I think I reset it, I stopped using it but found it again and wanted to use it.

So I open it, it says select language and some other things, it shows the quick start screen which i cant use as i dont own any other apple products, so i click the set up with another device, it then says there is a existing account and I need to sign into it.

Well I found my email for it and I couldn't find password so I did some I used to use years ago, on the ipad locked to owner screen, it didnt work but then i looked for the password again and did find it, I put it in and now when clicking next it says, apple account disabled, because im assuming its all the wrong attempts i did.

So i go to the link it says to, account.apple.com on my phone and try to sign in to reset my password, I sign in with email and password, click next and it wants a phone number, but that phone number is old and I dont know what the number is, I ask my parents and they both dont know the number, so i dont know what to do.

Everything ive found that explains what to do, it explains I need another trusted device which I dont have, then also saying I need that phone number, and more things that I can do, but another device and phone number I cant as in my house its a android place, I dont want to go to a store or any where to try and get it working because I feel like you might need the receipt or something for it, but this was bought second hand, years and years ago, so I won't have all that.

Is this a moment I just admit defeat to trying?

So just got the iPhone 16e. Transferred my data from android over to it.

It then asks me to sign into my apple account. I do this. It sends a verification code to my email, i enter the code, it brings me back to sign in. I sign in. It sends a verification code to my email. I enter the code. It sends me backnto sign in.

Its doing this over and over and over.

I cant do anything else on this phone rn lmao.

What gives?

How to get rid of this?? Almost it took 53gb out of 128 for system data and ios.
I’m not able use any other apps now because of storage. Can anyone help me to optimise this??

Hi, I've received faulty ipad air 3 touch id works but home button doesn't, ipad was working as it should except home button, I tried to flash with 3utools fresh ios I thought it might fix but after completing flashing appears in DFU mode, have anyone had same problem before? what's possible solution for this issue?

My Messages are using a significant amount of storage on my phone but I can’t figure out how to bring it down.

I’ve deleted all large attachments. I’ve deleted entire message threads.

Specifically, what is taking up so much space under Other? When I click on it to see, the next screen is blank.

I have an iCloud account but I want rest that and want to creat a new fresh account without changing the apple id is this possible??

Hi all, I was recently reminded about the Sensitive Content Warning’ feature in FaceTime as a result of a post on r/Popular, but I’m unable to turn it off despite my Apple account being 18+ verified.

Does anyone know how why this option is greyed out for me and how I disable?

I’ve been having this problem for 2 weeks nothing i do solves it. Checked my login items and there are none, no osascript nor bash, when i log out and close the lid and open it the flash doesn’t appear, but when i regularly close the lid when logged in the black flash persists. I have updated to the newest version yet nothing changed.

Hey guys,

After 27.1 my phone has not been able to send messages to android users through my iPad or MacBook. I need help if you guys have anything to offer in terms of advice.

What I have tried:

- looking at “send and receive” (everything is signed in)
- toggling off messages and back on again on my iPad.

note: \I have also turned both devices on and off.*
\My phone works perfectly fine, it’s just the connection ONLY FOR ANDROIDS is not working in terms of sending messages.*

I have four group chats on my iPhone showing a blue progress bar when I send a message and never go through to finish using my iPhone 18 pro on 27.2 I thought it maybe iMessage issues but the text don’t go through as RCS any ideas

NEW: iPhone Duo screen-cracking issue is real. Apple hasn’t given stores or customer service representatives guidance but the company is investigating. Several people have sent me images and stories of their new $2000 device breaking within hours. -- post has a link to a Bloomberg article

Apple Responds: “We are aware of an issue impacting the inner display on a small number of iPhone Duo units. If users experience issues with their iPhone Duo display, they should contact AppleCare for a replacement.”

More from Apple: Impacts a very small number of units and most iPhone Duo units are not susceptible to this inner display issue. Impacted devices appear to have the defects rather quickly after usage.

My Apple Account has been permanently locked, and Apple won’t let me recover it. I keep getting the message “This Apple Account is locked and cannot be used.”
I can’t sign out of the account on my iPhone because it requires the password, which Apple won’t accept. I also can’t create a new Apple Account because I get the error “Your account cannot be created at this time.”
I’ve already tried the usual recovery methods, and service centers in my country haven’t been able to help me.
Has anyone actually found a solution to this? Is there any legitimate way to remove the locked account from my iPhone and use a new one without losing my data?
I’m looking for solutions from people who have experienced this exact situation, not just the usual advice to reset my password or contact Apple Support.

UPS lost my duo order on last Friday, launch date, and my replacement from Apple is at the back of the line and is set to arrive end of January 2027.

cool.

Hello,

I have a MacBook Air M1 and for the past few months the sound has been terrible. I didn't care much as I don't really listen to anything on it but tonight I tried listening to an album and it was just awful.

The sound is all distorted and muddy especially when there is bass. It's almost like the volume was way way up past it's power limit. It isn't. I am listening at normal level.

I remember when I got it I was really impressed with the speakers when they sometimes had that eerie 3D jumping at you quality that was impressive. They were never loud or impactful but always nice.

My point is something is obviously wrong here but I don't know what.

Did that happened to anyone else here?

Any idea what's going on and what could I do? Could they be just broke?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I bought a cheap charger ( cable and block) off of Amazon that’s not mfi certified. The charger seems to work fine for the most part but lately I’ve been noticing slight lags in some apps. But the weirdest part is when I use my regular apple charger now my phones charge doesn’t last that long, while it lasts normally when I use the cheap charger. This wasn’t an issue before I started using the cheap charger. What can explain this weird pattern? If there’s something wrong with the cheap charger why does it make the phones charge last normally? How is it worsening the original apple charger’s performance?
