Hi folks I'm migrating from 1Password to iCloud Keychain, and only real thing is the UI, which for an Apple interface is interesting. I'm just never quite sure which item in the listing actually contains the login password, as when I search for say 'iCloud' dozens of entries pop up. Do I need

Hello again I took the plunge and updated. I quite like various things about it, but I admit the new UI is taking a while to sink in. The main thing I'm struggling with, is that they've done away with some of the higher contrast visual affordances (I think they're called?) to make navigation

Hmm, sorry to merely offer untested ignorance in reply, Stephen, as our Apple TV is too old for HomePods to connect to. Presumably, if you disconnect your Apple TV first, and then ask, Siri's more willing once again? If so, and sorry to state the irritatingly obvious, but sounds like an iOS

Thanks, both. Very helpful. I'll try the folder by folder sync and see how we go. One of the problems seems to be that we also use SharePoint sync, and OneDrive syncs both through the same app. Fine in principle, but I dare to suggest it just gets confused as to what's my OneDrive, what's

Alas, can't speak with M1 experience, but in the past I've certainly found the adaptors to be the issue causing connecting and glitching issues. 'El Cheapo' via Amazon tended to always fail me, but branded did the trick, (buy cheap buy twice). On Thursday, 7 January 2021 at 21:29:48 UTC
