You can import an audiobook in the correct format into Apple Books

The only thing I can think of is that people using the sort of workflow that needs such a monitor have their desk with suitable stands already - they are probably also using multiple $5k monitors...

Seems I'm not the only one who's unsure about what's happening:

"Some changes are still unclear but it seems likely that audiobooks will be moved to the Books app, as they have been on iOS, and that some management of iOS apps will be handled in the Mac App Store app."

From a MSM piece today.

I have purchased a new 27 inch imac with a fusion drive on the basis I had a 1tb t5 ssd drive to use as an external drive for apps etc.

My 1 tb fudsion drive has somehow partitioned itself into 2 partitions: 1 x Macintosh HD and 1 x Macintosh HD -Data.

in Disk Utility they both report as a 1.03TB drive with similar used values, similar other volumes values and similar free space values.

If i explore in the finder app, both have similar ( but dated differently in several cases) folders and content.

Whats going on?

Can anyone help me as to why my iPhone 7 is no longer backing up to iCloud? I filled up my iCloud storage a few weeks back so deleted a load of photos off there (surprised they also deleted off my physical phone, but that's just me not paying attention!) so now have a bit of space left.
Now I'm getting constant alerts saying my phone has failed to back-up as there isn't enough space, but it looks like there's plenty as I have 1.7GB free and am currently using 1GB for backup?



Can someone point me in the right direction of how to get it backing up again?

Sign out of iTunes/iCloud.... reset your phone.... Turn back on, sign into iCloud... hopefully that should do it.

Thanks, but that hasn't fixed it :/

[craigjm]

Doesn’t it need to be plugged in on charge to back up?

Oh.... is there something in your back up that is vast? Shouldn't be that big though.

Odd.
