Surely it's the same thing as they're both at worst using your data allowance or at best your wifi for free anyway?

Do you need to  backup your photos before doing an iPhone update?

Will photos , podcasts or apps be lost  after updating?

It's been so long  since I did an update, I can't remember

Depends how long since your last update? If you're jumping up major releases of iOS then I would say yes.

Is it not all backed up to iCloud account anyway? If not, pay for any additional non-free space required, backup and update. You can remove the iCloud storage after but unless you've a massive photo/video library it's so cheap why bother.

People really need to keep devices up to date. The amount of security patches you are potentially missing would be a concern.

[Would ye whist]

I recently got a new iPhone 15 and it will not let me send text messages to android/non iphones, anyone ever have this and if so did you manage to sort it?

I don't use iCloud.  The iPhone says I've used 3 GB on the cloud , but I e no idea how that happened , as I just use the phone memory  to store  photos/videos.

I remember  once moving photos  to my laptop a via windows explorer . So was hoping to do that again , but the windows explorer won't  recognise the iPhone when connected.

Any  way to sort this?

What's be sorted? You can upgrade iOS without deleting the data but it's wise to have a backup in case something goes wrong.

Otherwise just pay for enough additional iCloud storage for a month to cover the backup. Do your upgrade and if successful, cancel the iCloud storage. I wouldn't bother trying to fcuk around manually backing up, you'll waste the 3 quid worth of time which cloud pay for the iCloud storage.

Or just email the photos to yourself

I use  hotmail  email on the iphone

I got  a message asking to update something or other. Can't make head  nor tail or it.

Anyone else get the  same message below ?. And what will  I need to do?...........



The safety and security of your information is top priority for Microsoft. To help keep your account secure, Microsoft will no longer support the use of third-party email and calendar apps which ask you to sign in with only your Microsoft Account username and password. To keep you safe you will need to use a mail or calendar app which supports Microsoft's modern authentication methods. If you do not act, your third-party email apps will no longer be able to access your Outlook.com, Hotmail or Live.com email address on September 16th.

What do you need to do?
If you are receiving this email, you are currently using an email or calendar app that uses a less secure authentication method to connect to your Outlook.com email account. You will need to upgrade your third-party mail and calendar app to a version which supports modern authentication methods.

Microsoft provides free versions of Outlook for your PC, Mac, iOS, and Android devices which can be easily downloaded and connect to your email account. Using an updated version of an Outlook application will ensure you are connecting in the most secure way.

How do you connect to your email? How old is your phone? I wouldn't have thought this should be a problem on a modern phone with modern email client?

If you are using hotmail, which is Microsoft now, then you could download the Outlook mail client and use that.

[imtommygunn]

I don't want to get all nerdy here but surely the iPhone email client doesn't use basic digest for username and password??

Yes what Armaghniac suggests should probably work I imagine.

I use outlook for my Hotmail email, works well.

Looking at accommodation online  to see what's  available for a few days away.

Booking system page/calendar not coming up at  all using the home broadband. It's working via the 4G but  the signal is temperamental. Don't want to risk  booking something then losing  signal when processing

Any ideas as to why the  booking page is coming up via 4G , but not the  home broadband?

Easy fix?
