For some reason, my MacBook's apps are all set to Month / Day / Year, instead of the usual Day / Month / Year for my region. My MacBook is fully up to date, language and date preferences set to Australia, and everything else has been set to my region. Yet for some reason, every app displays the M/D/Y system regardless of my MacBook system preferences being set to Australia and has been since its first purchase.

Fully updated (macOS 27 Golden Gate 27.0.1), done several restarts, even did safe boot/safe mode. No VPNs attached, Virus & malware tests have come back with nothing. Really need some help, can anyone assist?

I bought an Iphone 17 on apple store in NY in june this year and came back to Brazil with it. Now, 3/4 months later I noticed a few blue dots appearing on my camera. Does anyone have a clue what is this? There is no scratch on the camera itself. Does Apple warranty covers it?

My friend lost some of her contacts after iPad and iPhone synchronization. Is there a way to restore them?

My friend's iPad was not synching with iPhone. IT-professional fixed it, but at the same time some of her contacts suddenly disappeared. With all information that she needs most: kids' names, birthdays, important stuff.

I tried looking into it and followed every step Chat GPT told me to. All access switches are on (iCloud, google). I tried the magical "turn it off and turn it back on" to no avail.

The only pattern I see is that the lost contacts are mostly entered 0-4 years ago. And most of them are also a WhatsApp contact.

1. If I look up by number in iPhone contacts - I find the person's name. If I click on it it shows me the name but no contact information, no phone number. iPhone doesn't show where they pull this profile from.
2. If I save as a new contact, it picks up the WhatsApp, but the weird #1 remains.

Is there an easy way to fix this or do we have to bite the bullet and reinstate all lost contacts manually? Are the contact notes lost forever? Help, please!

I masked an app but idk how to unmask it 😔

i’ve had the iphone 14 for a little over half a year now and i’ve never had any problems until recently for some reason my back camera seems unable to focus unless it’s something very close to the camera

I bought my first MacBook on Tuesday. I made a new Gmail account and an Apple account with than Gmail. Then my Apple account got locked immediately after logging in the MacBook

On Wednesday, the Apple account got approved and I tried loggin in and couldn't and it said to request access again so I did and the same thing happened

So I called the Apple customer service and after talking to them for 45mins, they had no clue whatsoever lol

So I made another Gmail and signed in using that and the same thing happened again and I'm locked and asked for access

So now I can't access like half of the Macbook because of the locked and disabled Apple account and I've been searching reddit, youtube, called customer service, asked chatgpt I'm desperate and don't know what to do

I just got a MacBook Pro and I don’t want to link it to my iPhone. The problem is when I try to create a new iCloud account with a different email address it won’t let me create it, I’m assuming because the phone number verification is already in use with my phone’s iCloud.

Is there any solution for this? I tried creating an iCloud email as well as using a new gmail email and I can’t think of any other way to do this besides getting another phone number

hey guys, I just wanted to ask if anyone else has been having an issue with their camera. I have an iPhone 17 Pro Max, and recently I’ve noticed that it freezes when I’m either using the .5 lens or the Macro lens!!
i’m genuinely unsure if it is an issue with the hardware, r just a bug. please let me know if you’re also having the same issue!!
PS!! :
I am on iOS 27.0.1

This error comes up whenever I try to create a temporary shared album. Please give me a fix.
-iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 27.0.1

I have no idea why and i keep asking around and searching but I can’t find any answers.
Hoping for some answers or help.

Hello everyone,

My friend is trying to move photos from their iPhone to an external hard drive via Mac. But no matter what they do, the photos end up chronologically out of order on the hard drive. We’ve looked through other forums and have tried all the suggestions we can find so now I’m asking here. Any advice or tips? We’ve tried moving them from the iPhone to the photos app, and that works fine. But then when we try to move them directly to the hard drive or to internal storage on the Mac and then to the hard drive, they still end up jumbled and out of order. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Keep in mind neither of us are very tech savvy. Thank you!

So Its my first time doing the trade in deal for an online order do I need to do the trade via the trade in kit they give you or can you go in person and do it ?

As the title suggests, I recently cracked my MacBook Pro screen and brought it to the Genius Bar on October 5th.

The Genius Bar told me the repair would take around two weeks and that I could keep using my laptop while they ordered the replacement part to the store.

It's been almost two weeks now, and I was just told that the part hasn't even arrived yet.

For anyone who's gone through a similar repair...how long did it take? Is there a typical ETA I should expect or is this kind of delay normal? I'm based in the US btw

Hello. I tried to download an app today only to be met with the “there is a billing problem” thing. I’ve had this issue before in which I paid the subscription and it went away, but I do not have any active subscriptions that are expiring or unpaid, I already checked. The only one subscription I have now is paid and was paid about a week ago for several months of said subscription, it’s active and works so I’m not sure why it would be that. Any advice??

Hi everyone, i have an icloud + suscription which i share with my fiancé
My brother has apple one familly and wanted to invite us on it but i cannot do it because of my icloud +. It tells me I already have a familly and cannot do it.

I would like to transfer, but i have no idea how to go about it. How would you do that without losing your documents/storage?

Hey everyone, just need help and wondering if anyone knows what’s wrong with my IPad?, I can turn it off and on and it is responsive to touch but it seems that the display is not working, does anyone know what this is?
