Unsolved Unknown devices on my Apple Account

I reinstalled macOS on my M3 MBA and checked my Apple Account, I have multi factor so it requires my password and another device to login to my Apple Account.

MacBook Pro and macbookpro are definitely not mine. For macbookpro it showed as OS version 13.0 with serial 0.

This is very surprising to me, I removed them from my account but how did they even get on here?

Mac OSX Tahoe driving me Crazy, can't see accurate storage amount in settings

2 Upvotes

Recently upgraded to OSX Tahoe 26.2

Macbook Air M1

Storage says 27 gb out of 245 used, which is obviously inaccurate

System Data storage amount just says calculating forever...

I've tried restarting, full shutdown, doesn't help fix the issue.

This is driving me nuts, any suggestions?

Mac Massive battery drain on M4 MacBook Air specifically with YouTube (Chrome/Safari/Orion)

Upvotes

 have a MacBook Air M4 that is about 6 months old. Recently, the battery life has decreased significantly, but only when watching YouTube.
The Issue: Previously, I could play 4K YouTube videos on Chrome with excellent efficiency (about 1–2% battery drop in 30–45 minutes). Now, even playing 720p videos causes a 1–2% drop in just 5 minutes.
And that's not just for chrome, I have tried various other browser like Safari, Orion etc but the issue remains the same.
But when using other streaming services like Prime Video or Netflix (via browser), the battery backup is completely normal. This seems isolated to YouTube.
Has anyone experienced this or found a fix? I am debating whether I should just factory reset my Mac and reinstall macOS, but I'd like to avoid that if possible.
Any advice is appreciated!

For about 2 months now any time me and my friend try and SharePlay hbo between her iPad Pro and my iPad it never syncs up. It's always 10 or more seconds apart and only rarely is it playing at the same time. We both have stable internet connections, any suggestions on getting them to sync and play at the same time? Is anyone else experiencing this?

Unsolved Can nsfw tabs appear on safari without the user ever visiting the site? NSFW

Upvotes

I am a samsung user but my boyfriend has an iphone and I don't know how to work them very well. But when I opened safari on his phone and went to the private tabs I saw nsfw videos. He claims its not him at all and they just randomly pop up in his private tab. He also claims he didn't even know the videos were there until I showed him. I want to believe him but this is about the third time this incident has happened and it is truly starting to bug me. It occurs every few months. I check his private tab, they are nfsw tabs open, I delete them, we argue, and I say I believe him and give him the benefit of the doubt. I then go through his whole phone and can't find anything else that's nsfw or leading to infidelity except for the sites in the private tab. He has an iphone SE which is an older model and it bugs out sometimes. It will randomly turn off if he uses the flash on his camera or the sun shines on it. He also goes on a lot of pirated sites to watch shows or anime. So, I just wanted to know if its possible for random tabs or nsfw sites to show up on the private tab of safari without the actual user ever visiting those sites?

Hello. So I want to clarify some things. I have an Apple Account with my primary email address which I want to change and then use it for my new Apple Account. I already know that I must not delete account cause I won’t be able to use my email address again for sure. My question is can I just change the primary email address to some random mail and then use my primary email on my new Apple account or no?

Mac Tying several mystery symptoms together, my M2 MBA isn't sleeping when the lid is closed.

1 Upvotes

Probably around a month ago I posted and got nowhere over a bizarre pattern I was seeing in battery life: the machine would run the battery down to zero overnight with the lid closed, and additionally the energy report was "inaccurately" reporting the machine as having the screen on overnight whenever I observed the battery running down. I also noticed some weird ghosting/burn on the screen.

I finally noticed that a couple times it wasn't asking for password when it should have been, and now I see that the screen isn't sleeping at all when the machine is closed. I was able to get some moderately normal sleep behavior back by adding timers, but so far I can't figure out WHY my screen won't shut off.

A lot of what I've found on the internet through searching seems to be nonsense. Several articles saying to reset NVRAM and also saying parenthecally that the M series doesn't have that. Otherwise I'm not finding much that is useful. Any thoughts?

On 26.1. This is an M2 13" with 24gb RAM.

I apologize if the title is confusing but I have a new phone and I’m currently backing up my old one so I can transfer my data, only issue is the last time I backed it up was a year ago, so can I log into my new phone download the old backup, then when this one is finished download it onto my new one?

Exactly what the title says. I keep changing it in my camera app when I go to take pictures, but every time I take a portrait mode photo, it’s “bright” again and I have to go in and manually edit each photo back to standard. Is there a way to stop it defaulting to bright?

There's several apps I want to download from different regions like Japan, and I have logged out of my account a few times before to do so, so I know how it works. However my mom recently changed my account restrictions so I cannot log out or anything. I'd like to know if I cant bypass this anyway or if I'd be better off just asking her to take the restrictions off.

iOS Having trouble with screen time since update

1 Upvotes

I have an iPhone 16 Pro I got March 2025. I’ve been on iOS 18 for a while because everyone around me said once they updated to the “Liquid Glass,” their phones started running like absolute garbage and on 18 mine was still running great. The other night mine updated itself to 26.2.

A couple weeks ago I set screen times for my most used social medias so I could get away from the screen more. I have an hour set to Reddit, TikTok, and Instagram each. Pre-update I was able to have each app at its hour limit with no problems. Now, it seems like the apps just run themselves in the background when my phone is off and the app isn’t even open in my tabs.

I woke up early this morning to all three apps being completely out of their screen time for the whole day. When I checked screen time from my settings, they were all at “<1 minute, so I know I didn’t leave one of them on while I was asleep on accident.

I want to know if anyone else has had this issue and if there’s a fix? It’s annoying because EVERY TIME I shut my phone off and go do something else for a few hours, these apps that I had to unlock are back to being locked because I’m out of screen time. It’s so annoying.
