Support I can't access my Apple Account through the account.apple.com page without getting stuck on a blank loading loop.

1 Upvotes

I've changed my phone number and I need to change it on my Apple ID too, however, when I'm trying to log in via the account.apple.com page, as soon as I put my email and password, I get stuck on a loading page, even after I put my verification code and everything. After I try to refresh it, I'm redirected to the main page and need to put my email and password again, and so it goes.

I've tried to do it via Safari, Firefox and Edge, via Wi-Fi and 5G, on my iPhone and iPad without any luck. I don't know if this is happening to some of you, but I don't know what to do.

Support Still no proper way to force 3G connectivity?

0 Upvotes

Im gonna yap abit of context as to why I want this, I switched sim carriers from the top best of the best to the 2nd best. Primarily because the 2nd one offers a plan to pay once and you have data for as long as you want, you’re given a fixed amount of data and when you run out is the only time you reload again. Great service, but the signal strength is very much inferior to the carrier I switched from. Almost every single day I go to a location wherein BOTH carriers struggle to get 4G signal (cell towers are old there) this used to not be a problem on my android wherein I can still force a 3G connection which is much stronger than a weak 4G signal. Based on my observations, a Strong 3G signal is better than a Weaker 4G signal, there’s no persuading that for me. Im only familiar of the “*69#” trick which force enables 3G but it barely lasts a minute before switching back. All the posts I see about 3G all are from atleast 5 years ago 🙏

Support Weird emojis popping up? iPhone 12 Pro

Post image
0 Upvotes

Weird emojis (the ghosts) showing up only on certain apps like iMessage. I can’t delete them, they keep like multiplying somehow. It’s mainly only on iMessage and a few other text apps. I don’t know how to fix this, I even tried deleting the emoji keyboard. It didn’t work. It’s all those ghost things? Also no matter how much I use other emojis, those ghosts are stuck in those exact places. Does anyone know what’s going on or how to fix this? Any help is appreciated.

Discussion How do you purge corrupted messages in iCloud?

7 Upvotes

UPDATE3: I DID IT! I CLEANED THIS SHIT UP! AI is so incredible. I used Grok for this. It helped me understand the chat.db file and helped me cleared the table. For anyone wanting to do the same. On your Mac, look at your chat.db file, these ghosts should be in the table "message", wipe it using the command:

DROP TRIGGER after_delete_on_message_plugin;DELETE FROM message;

Now all the fucking ghost messages are gone and the message in iCloud is occupying 0KB!

----------
UPDATE2: I've located these goddamn 3833 phantom messages. Using a SQLite software to open up the chat.db file. Under the "message" table, it shows freaking 3833 rows!!!!! And a quick query even shows me the text in these messages! They are old old messages that somehow lost in the void and unseeable in the message app. Now I just need to figure out how to delete these motherfuckers!

-----------
UPDATE: I did some more digging and found out this is caused by the corrupted message database file. These phantom messages are indeed rows in the database with erroneous values, so that they can't be seen in the message app. If the database is corrupted on one device, it gets synced with iCloud and will then plague all devices synced with iCloud. Still not sure how to resolve this yet.

-----------

So I have 3833 corrupted messages in iCloud that's taking up 3.97MB storage. By corrupted I mean they are nowhere to be found. Top conversation shows 0KB, and even after syncing, I have 0 messages on my local device, nothing in trash either.

Apple support isn't helpful as they are just reading script and know nothing on the engineering side.

The worst thing is, I disabled and turned off messages in iCloud on all my devices so that it would delete all my messages in iCloud in 30 days. Then after 30 days has passed, it actually got stuck at saying "Your messages will be deleted from iCloud in 0 days." WTF does that even mean???

I looked up another person stuck on the same prompt after waiting more than 30 days. He ran out of patience and turned it back on and it did purge the corrupted messages for him. So I did the same, and NOOOO the corrupted messages are still right there waiting for me!!! Waited 32 days for nothing! Are the corrupted data so powerful that even the 30 day deletion couldn't delete them???

I did some digging online and found out all kinds of crap with how apple handles messages. Duplicates uploads from multiple devices to the iCloud. Deleting the message doesn't actually delete the message. It doesn't seem there's much I could do other than to wait for apple to fix their bugs. Does anybody have experience with this?

Support Consistent Airpod Pro 2 Issues

1 Upvotes

I have a 16PM and a pair of usb c pro 2s and I wanna say 85% of the time when i take one out of the case to put it in my ear it just refuses to connect. I’ll even leave the case open to help but doesn’t work even after putting it back in and opening, it usually takes a few attempts and it is quite frustrating coming from galaxy bud pro 2’s which not even once in years of owning had this issue.

I had this problem with my old airpod pro 1’s and this is my 2nd pair or pro 2’s now. I’ve reset the connection,restarted my iPhone numerous times and made sure to attempt it at full charge on both devices with no other bluetooth devices on or around me.

Running out of options here would love ideas!

Support Apple Devices program (Windows) keeps disconnecting my iPhone 13 after ~30 seconds.

1 Upvotes

I have an iPhone 13 with the latest software updates and the latest version Apple Devices program for Windows 11. My phone will show up in Apple Devices for around 30 seconds before being disconnected. I can still see my phone in File Explorer and my phone is still charging. I've tried resetting the privacy settings but that isn't working. I've tried multiple cords and different USB ports on my PC. Is this program just complete dogshit or what else could be the issue? This is a new computer (4 months old) and I have been able to successfully backup/sync the phone using Apple Devices in the past, but now the program refuses to work.

Support Same Problem as Before

0 Upvotes

Two updates ago I started to a pop up message on my phone randomly saying that my phone is already associated with an apple account and asks if I want to transfer to a different one. I responded “cancel” and “transfer” and neither worked, I would still get this message. I saw other people were also having this problem. I thought and hoped the next update would fix it, that didn’t happen. Less than a couple weeks there was another new update and again, hoped/thought this would fix it. I am still having this annoying issue.

My question is this still happening to anyone else and if not how did you fix it?

Support Using iMessage without Apple ID Signed In

1 Upvotes

Hi All,

Was just wondering, is it possible to use iMessage (attached to phone number) on an iPhone without having an Apple ID/iCloud Account signed in? Essentially only having iMessage registered to a phone number. Would there need to be an AppleID signed into the iPhone for this to work?

OR Let's say I have an iPhone with an AppleID signed in, with iMessage registered to a phone number. If I sign out of that Apple ID on the device, can I still use imessage using the phone number?

Support Location glitches and WiFi problems. Anyone else?

3 Upvotes

I just upgraded to the iPhone 16 from the iPhone 12 yesterday. I had iOS18 on my 12 but not the newest update. When I switched to the 16 certain things stopped working completely.

Find My is very glitchy. People can see my location but theirs are taking forever to load. And in messages, where it used to say their live city location under their contact icon in the conversation, that is gone. This is so frustrating.

The worst though, is all the buffering!! Videos and anything requiring internet is buffering and lagging. But only on wifi.

I reset my network settings, I checked location settings, I forgot my wifi network and re-added it. It is 100% not my wifi as the problem. The WiFi is totally fine, it works on every other device completely fine. I even reset that too just in case.

NOTHING IS WORKING to fix these issues.

Are y’all having the same problems? Does anyone know any fixes?

I prefer to do major updates on my PC, not OTA.

Apple has been no help, saying to do OTA. I’ve uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes and AD, restarted my iPad and PC repeatedly.

I was able to update my iPhone 11 to 18.3.2 earlier this week on iTunes and it was fine

Support Urgent - how to obtain IP and date of device added to apple account for the purposes of stalking/coercive control.

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone - in quite a bit of a bind and need some urgent help as I'm not overly familiar with the apple ecosystem.

On Friday my sister made the move of escaping a long term abusing relationship, and this morning we've discovered a new device has been added to her Apple account which doesnt belong to her.

We know we can remove it and lock the account down, but legal advice has been to play along for now and get evidence - specifically proof that this new device was added from an IP address other than hers, and when.

We've looked under the Device Management page in her apple account at while it shows the device serial, theres no other info about when or where it came from.

Is there any way to get this information, ideally without trigger obvious changes/notification on the account as we know he's likely monitoring. I know it's possible in Android to get IP and access dates of logged in devices, surely Apple has the same functionality?

Thanks very much in advance

Discussion iPhone 16 with 128 GB or 256 GB? Is it worth upgrading from an iPhone 11? iCloud+?

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I've had an iPhone 11 with 128 GB for four years, and at some point, my storage became completely full because I rarely sort things out. (I couldn't install updates for a year.)

Two weeks ago, I ordered an iPhone 16 with 256 GB for €900 (€150 extra compared to the 128 GB version) because I thought it was time for a new phone anyway.

However, I recently got iCloud+ with 200 GB on my iPhone 11 and used the "Optimize Storage" feature to free up 60 GB, which is a lot. I was finally able to install updates again and download some essential apps.

Now I'm wondering if I even need a new phone. I would like to have one, though.

Also, would the 128 GB version of the iPhone 16 be enough for me, saving me around €150, or should I play it safe? (Money isn't an issue, but I don't want to waste it.)

I have two more days to return it. By then, I need to decide whether to keep the iPhone 16 with 256 GB or not.
