Every so often, you might end up with two devices on your Wi-Fi network that have the same IP address. This conflict can cause a plethora of problems with trying to use the internet on any of the devices affected.
Fortunately, there's a really easy to way reset your IP addresses on your iOS devices or Macs, and in this tutorial, we're going to show you how!
In my opinion, Touch ID is one of the finest iOS features ever! It's an excellent mix of hardware and software that solves a real problem.
As you may know, Touch ID allows users to store up to five fingerprints. In turn, any of the registered prints can be used to unlock your iPhone and authenticate purchases associated with your Apple ID, such as App Store purchases.
But how does one go about remembering which fingers were used to set up Touch ID? We show you how easy it is to find out.
If you ever sync your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad with iTunes, then more than likely you've experienced hiccups at some point in time where iTunes has been unable to find or recognize your device.
You have it plugged in, but for whatever reason, it just doesn't show up in iTunes. What gives?!
In this piece, we'll go over what to do if iTunes doesn't seem to recognize your iOS device when you plug it in to your computer so that if and when it happens to you, you'll be prepared to tackle the situation.
Your iPhone comes equipped with government notifications, such as AMBER, Emergency, Public Safety, and Test alerts. These time-sensitive notifications are pushed out to individuals by their carriers based on their location and can be useful for a variety of reasons. On the other hand, if you don’t think you’ll be using them anytime soon or you get sick of seeing them on your device, you can always disable them.
With Photos for Mac, Apple pulled an iWork: that is, the re-imagining of how you should organize and manage your photos across devices originally wasn't as feature-complete as the now phased-out iPhoto used to be.
That's especially the case if you consider the need to edit location for some photos in your library: it wasn't before the OS X 10.11.3 El Capitan software update that Photos for Mac got this ability.
With Game Center, you can play your favorite games with friends who have an iPhone, iPod touch, iPad or Mac. Game Center is also where your global leaderboards, achievements, challenges, high scores and other data are stored for each Game Center-compatible game you play.
Some people also find this particular feature a major nuisance over being bugged with notifications and invites for the games they no longer have installed on their device.
Thankfully, you can easily remove any game that you no longer play from Game Center with a quick swipe.
Learn how to ping LED flashlight on your iPhone via your Apple Watch to find your misplaced device if it's nearby but out of sight, even in the dark.
Much like other Apple devices, your Apple TV lets you elect to have tvOS periodically send usage data to Apple and share crash logs with developers. When Share with App Developers is enabled underneath the Diagnostics Data heading in Settings → General → Privacy, your Apple TV will send diagnostic and usage information to Apple.
This data is used for the sole purpose of improving Apple's products and services. None of the collected information identifies users personally but those who are concerned about their privacy will likely have this feature disabled, just in case.
There are cases when Apple might ask you to send them these log files manually—for instance, when using the Apple TV's hidden remote diagnostic feature to help an advisor troubleshoot any problems you may be plagued with.
Thankfully, tvOS has a secret Siri Remote shortcut to override your Privacy settings and manually send those crash logs and diagnostic data straight to Apple.

Most of the time, when you want to use your Mac, you can just press the power button or lift the MacBook screen, hear a startup sound, and your computer will begin booting, so you can use it.
Sometimes, however, you don’t get so lucky. There may be a time when you go to use your Mac, and it doesn’t turn on at all.
As reliable as Macs can be, they can hiccup occasionally. In this piece, we talk about what you can do to troubleshoot if your Mac won’t power on after you press the power button.
Nearly five years ago, Apple started taking advantage of a new feature that lets customers send diagnostic data to an Apple advisor to help troubleshoot any problems they might be having, without having to take their device to an Apple Store Genius.
This remote diagnostic mode, which has since been implemented across all iPhone, iPod touch and iPad devices, is also available on the fourth-generation Apple TV. In this quick tutorial, you're going to learn how to access and take advantage of tvOS's hidden Diagnostics screen on your Apple TV.
