The MacMost Question and Answer Forum is a place where you can ask how-to questions about your Mac, iPhone, iPad and other Apple products. MacMost specializes in tutorials, tips and techniques of the “how-to” variety, as opposed to “fix-it” questions that are more about something not working as expected.9/22/17
I am accustomed to using contacts with my iMac, at least for email. However, I only recently bought an iPhone SE and am unable to find a way to make a collection of phone numbers. I want to use the word “group” but that seems to have a different meaning in this ... (2 Comments)

Up until recently we could use iTunes on the Mac to help organize iOS apps into folders on a connected iPhone or iPad. But with the latest release of iTunes, this is no longer possible. We can still put iOS apps into folders using the drag and drop technique, but sometimes this ... (1 Comment)

I think “Photos” does not allow to create a “New Smart Album” with Square edited photos.
At least I did not find “square” as a criteria in the list provided.
Do I need to flag the square edited photos one by one or is there a means of choosing a selection of photos ... (2 Comments)

Gary, I have been trying to clean up my photo collection on my iPad. I had been doing a sync with iTunes to my iMac where the main library is. That collection is around 30,000 images. I decided I wanted to do the sync with just some albums. So, I did a sync, checked selected ... (4 Comments)

I am signed into the same iCloud account on both my iMac and my MacBook. The desktops used to be the same. When I added something to one it would show up on the other. Now they do not sync. I am using Safari 10.1.2 on both computers

While iTunes 12.7 for Mac removes the iOS app store it leaves some ophaned folders on my Mac in the Mobile Applications folder. These are multiple gigabites in size. I can delete these IPA files but might I ever need them again? For example, if I want to run an earlier version ... (10 Comments)
