How to like or comment on photos or videos in a shared photo album Turn iCloud into your own private social network with its liking and commenting features: When you open a photo or video in a shared album, you'll be able to like and comment on them, just as you would on a service like Facebook or Instagram. It's just more private. On your iPhone or iPad • Launch the Photos app on your iPhone or iPad.

I have a MacBook, iPad and iPhone and a MacMini. The MacMini is used almost exclusively on my TV to run Plex. Often I'll turn my tv on to find a calendar or app update notification on the MacMini. Now that notifications are cataloged in the Action Center, you can view notifications you might have missed. So, if you still want to see notification banners in the lower-right corner of the screen, but you find the notification sounds annoying, you can turn the sounds off without fearing that you might miss important notifications.

But if you are running out of iCloud space, you could safely turn off “Photo Library” backup and use the alternative. Be sure to backup your iPhone to your computer before you turn it off, just in case. The first alternative is switching from iCloud Photo Library to My Photo Stream.

No More Annoying Pop-Ups, But. ICloud notifications are downright annoying, and while you can easily disable them, it’s always better to free up some space if possible. You never know when you might need that vital iCloud backup to only find that it hasn’t synced properly due to a lack of storage.

To customize notifications for a specific app, click on that app in the list. For example, we want to see notifications from Outlook when we get new emails, but we’d rather not hear a sound every time, so we click “Outlook 2016” in the list. To disable the notification sound for the selected app, click the “Play a sound when a notification arrives” slider button so it turns white and reads Off. You can also set various other notification settings on this screen, such as whether you want to see notification banners, keep notifications private on the lock screen, show notifications in the action center, and the number of notifications visible in the action center. To close the Settings window, click the “X” in the upper-right corner. You have to turn off the notification sounds for each app separately. But, once you do, you can enjoy getting notifications without the annoying chime.

Ever heard of Google Photos? It’s completely free no matter how much you upload, and you can get it on pretty much any platform. However, your images and videos are compressed to a certain degree — a maximum of 16Mp for photos and 1080p for videos — but free is still free, right? And unlike My Photo Stream, you also have a permanent backup in case things go south.

Here we take Make a Full Backup option as example. • Step 2: After click Make a Full Backup, you will see the notices about the process.

By default, your iPhone will be backed up to iCloud when it’s charged, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi. If you have little to none storage space left, you will likely see the warning message during these times because your phone can’t upload the backup.

China announces the end of child policy. But if you are running out of iCloud space, you could safely turn off “Photo Library” backup and use the alternative. Be sure to backup your iPhone to your computer before you turn it off, just in case. The first alternative is switching from iCloud Photo Library to My Photo Stream.

• If your iPhone is unlocked, then you will receive notification alerts and sounds on your iPhone instead of on your Apple Watch. IOS_watchOS_no-message-notifications sound_02_notification on Apple watch • If your Apple Watch is locked or has Do Not Disturb enabled, then the notification and notification sound will go to your iPhone. • If you turn off Wrist Detection (on your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch > Passcode – turn off Wrist Detection), then all notifications and the notification sound will be delivered to both devices. • When you dismiss notifications on your Apple Watch, they’re also dismissed from your iPhone. You receive notifications on whichever device you’re using, not both devices at the same time.

Who knows what the notifications on iCloud will be though. I'm hoping it makes more sense to me when Apple officially unvails it.•.

The benefit that My Photo Stream has over iCloud Photo Library is that the former will automatically upload your photos to your other devices with the same Apple ID (and your friends, with your permission). This will make sure that you have copies of your photos on other devices without eating out your iCloud storage. The second alternative is to use Google Photos. Just install the app and login with your Google ID. The app will automatically upload all of your photos and virtually has no storage limit unless you opt for higher definition. But since photos taken by today’s smartphone cameras are not yet qualified to meet Google’s standard of High Definition, you could go crazy with your selfies without worrying about running out of storage space. Back Your Heart Up, and Restore Now that you’ve cleared out the space hogs, you should have enough space to backup your iPhone to iCloud.

It’s also possible that you have backups of other iOS devices. But have you taken the time to erase old backups of the iDevices that you don’t use anymore? If you haven’t, deleting those unnecessary hogs could save you a considerable amount of the precious iCloud space. Go to Settings > General > Storage & iCloud Usage, and tap Manage Storage under the iCloud section. If there are any device(s) you no longer own or use listed there, just tap and click 'Delete Backup.' Choose Carefully Not all data are created equal.

And when it comes to huge files, there’s really no point in wasting your iCloud Drive storage space when you have Google Drive to resort to. It provides up to 15GB of free space, which is thrice more than what iCloud offers. Not to mention the fact that Google Drive syncs stuff much faster overall as well. Disable Unwanted Apps Usually, your iPhone or iPad backs up any documents generated by the majority of apps that you install to iCloud.

My.me address has not been migrated but it still will not let me access it on the web version however it continues to work on my iPhone. I originally got an Apple ID for the developer program at first, and a.mac for personal email and iTunes. Thing is that I wasn't careful in which account I was logged into and when the app store came around I ended up with purchases on both accounts. So I'm stuck with two accounts and my contacts and purchases are not integrated. Sure it is my fault but everything else in computing can always be fixed, why can't this be fixed? And I have you beat by one Apple service 'eWorld'. Originally Posted by mstone I understand how it is supposed to work but it doesn't work correctly for me.

If you turn off Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and Tasks in iCloud for Windows on a Windows computer, information stored in iCloud remains available in Microsoft Outlook, but it isn’t kept up to date with your other devices.
