I am 71 from India.
Recently while in USA, after purchasing iPhone 14, I suddenly came across a couple of your videos.
Immediately subscribed to it.
Must say your Videos have helped me a lot in using all my Apple Products especially iPhone & iPad.
They are very informative, short, simple & yet very effective learning Tools for elders like me.
Above all, I found all your pronunciation very very easy to follow & grasp.
Can’t ‘thank you’ more for all your videos. They are indeed very useful !!!
Looking forward to more & more such videos from you.
🙏💐🎉🍁
Apple should hire you and put you in charge of Senior Help…most Apple support people talk so fast my head is spinning!
Great idea
Thank you, this takes all the stress out of understanding what the younger generation is telling me. Your videos are so helpful and they make me look like I’m hip!
Yes! Thanks so much for watching.
I now have a You tube library of your videos! These are great. You are so clear and concise…easy to understand.
Glad you like them!
The pace of commentary is spot on.
Thanks. I actually work on the pace. My goal is to not go too fast or too slow. I always struggle when the presenter goes too fast and I'm too impatient when things move too slowly. Thanks so much for watching.
thank you
So appreciate your knowledge and ease …
Thanks Michele. I do my best to keep it helpful yet simple.
Simple but effective description of what an icloud drive is. Thank you
Delighted to discover these relaxed and clear introduction. Perfect for forwarding to a friend of mine. A newly subscribed fan. 👍🏻
I like your description of "suitcases" to describe storage on the iPad and in the cloud. I think of iCloud as "a hard drive in the next room".
Ha! Great analogy. Would you mind if I use that in the future?
@@RichBowlin Of course!
You are the best teacher. Thank you
Wow, thank you!
Rich, outstanding tuition yet again! Always appreciate your excellent productions, thank you!
Hi Billy! As always thanks for watching. And commenting. I hope you're doing well across the pond.
Thank you Rich!
You're welcome!
Thank you now i understand how Icloud works the kids say things like lm ok all my stuff is saved on Icloud and they are too busy to show me what or how to use icloud bless you and i will subscribe to learn a little more
Hi Marley! Welcome aboard.
I really enjoyed your video and learned from. Please make video on short cut for sineor
Noted!
Hi Rich - I really enjoy your channel. I was hoping, if there is enough demand for it, you could do a video on how to use your iPhone as a HotSpot. I will be traveling without internet access and would like to connect be able to use my iPad using my iPhone as a HotSpot. Thank you!
Great idea! Working on it!
Really appreciated your video, they are wonderful video.
Thanks!
Thank you Rich. I’m learning a lot from your videos. One area that I still struggle with is navigating between different activities or apps to accomplish a task. For example, accessing and locating a specific email while using my dr’s app. Or, while on a FaceTime call, using the iPad to search for a photo to show them. Basically, combining some of the different apps or functions while using them in real time. I don’t know if you would be able to model this for us. But it would help me to see you in action, moving from one thing to another, using multiple apps. Sort of the synthesis of all the various things you’ve shown us so far. Thank you!
What a great video idea. What you're describing is essentially multi-taking and it's not that hard to do. I'll get this idea on my list!
@@RichBowlin oh, that would be wonderful! Thank you so much! 😊
Excellent video Rich
Everything was so simple before Steve passed away. I've never understood iTunes or iCloud since he left us. Thank you for a clear video.
Thank you🙏
You're more than welcome!
Great explanation.
Thanks!
Thanks Rich for helping us in computer kindergarten!
Ha! That's funny. I'm going to remember "computer kindergarten." My wife says I never grew up so I guess I belong there too!
Thank you great job
You're very welcome.
Thanks!
Wow! Thanks so much!
Thank you.
I have not activated the Desktop and Documents option in iCloud Drive to save space in iCloud Drive. Can I now copy 1 spreadsheet from my local hard drive to iCloud Drive instead of moving it so that this file remains on the local hard drive and also in iCloud Drive? If this can be done will a change in the spreadsheet I make on the local hard drive also be synced to icloud Drive????? I have tried but the change is not synced!!!! Thanks for help!!!
Thank you! Very helpful information 😊
WOW! I had no idea about the terrific use of widgets!!! I will certainly be able to clean up my eqt with your videos!😁
Thanks! I use widgets a lot!
Thanks
Wow! Thanks so much. That was so generous of you. It's so encouraging when someone supports me in making these videos. They really do take a fair amount of work to put together. Thanks so much!
I just keep learning new stuff. Thank you. So nice to get tips and I didn’t see you roll your eyes once. Lol
Why does my ipad say ipad storage full even though i have 200g icloud+? It wont let me do anything.
Hi Rich, I like to think I understand most of my apple devices. What I do not understand is, when I am running out of space on my iPhone, and like to delete e.g. photos, these are also removed from my iCloud which has plenty of space. I bought additional cloud space to save stuff, but the amount of storage space on you device seems to determine how much you can save. Am I wrong? I asked Apple and there answer was to store it on external HD😔☹️
I store just about everything in iCloud. I have my photos app optimized for storage too. I have no storage issues. You can take a look at what's using If you go into Settings>General>iPhone Storage you can see what's taking up space on your iPhone. Then you can move what's you'd like to iCloud. Hope this helps!
Rich, how are you? Do you have any tips for WhatsApp for my mini iPad having lots of problems. I hope you have something and it could help me out
Is iCloud saving the same things over and over? For example, do I have many copies of the same pictures, or does it just resave what is already there and only add new things? I hope that my question makes sense.
One would think that the iCloud and your device just 'synchronize' content-wise. That's all. Same stuff that's on your device gets shoved into iCloud.
What version of iPad OS were you using when you made this video? I am now using 16.2 on an iPad Pro with 256G of local storage, and when I click on iPad storage no recommendations appear. Can I still find them? If so, where?
Hi John. I think I was using iPad OS15. Yes - it's still there in iPad OS16.2. Go to Settings, tap on your name at the top left, then tap on iCloud and you can see how much storage you have left. Hope this helps!
How to sign into I cloud, or confirm
I’d rather use my remote ssid , don’t need anyone hacking my stuff or keeping my files on their servers ?
My research shows that iCloud is pretty safe. Or at least as safe as such a service can be. I recently bought an SSD and use it like you're using yours. According to Apple: End-to-end encrypted data can be decrypted only on your trusted devices where you're signed in with your Apple ID. No one else can access your end-to-end encrypted data - not even Apple - and this data remains secure even in the case of a data breach in the cloud. But you can't go wrong with an SSD.
I don’t use it as I don’t need my personal info tracked and keeping my personal info on their server ? I use a quality ssd hard drive. I back up on my ssd drive , 1 terra bite
Good idea. I know a number of people who do that. I'm thinking about doing a video on security and safety. What do you think?

Can you make a Facetime call to someone with an Android phone?
I'm afraid not. FaceTime is an Apple protocol used only on iPhones. I wish Apple and Samsung would fix that! Thanks for watching!
I n my opinion he deserves a nobel prize.
Ha! Thanks for the kind words.
5 GB r is all you get. Imparted to I cloud to cloud t novo Ina ve 50 GB
Icloud
Boy you do such a great job you want to make a video on how to make yourself look good I noticed you look really good on this video when I do mine I don't look so good it's not very flattering my sister complains about it too good job I tell all my senior friends about you you talk fast enough not to be boring and slow enough that I can understand great job one of the best
How can you see what’s stored in in your cloud 🤔
You can view everything you have in iCloud in the Files app. Thanks so much for watching.
I have none of those 3 gain space options on ipad 6. How do I remove things?
It's too expensive to buy more storage.
It is! Apple should provide a lot more "base" storage for free and increase the amount of storage for the paid plans. Honestly...
