Q&A: How do I delete a lost iPhone’s backup from iCloud?

Posted on March 11, 2023

Question from Claire:  I recently lost the iPhone I’d had for several years so I bought a new one to replace it.

Q&A: How can I view saved passwords on my iPhone?

Posted on February 2, 2023

Then there are apps for accessing your bank account, your social media accounts and the accounts for all the other online services you use (and possibly the usernames and passwords to those accounts as well).  [Read more…]

Teach Siri how to pronounce a contact’s name correctly

Posted on January 13, 2023

Apple’s Siri virtual assistant certainly makes using an iPhone a lot easier, but just like us humans Siri has a few quirks.

One Siri quirk that drives me up the wall is how she tends to mis-pronounce some names on the Contacts List. For some reason it just grates on my nerves.

The good news is you can train Siri to pronounce difficult names correctly, using one of the two methods listed below: [Read more…]
