I need help Galt i’m getting writing Overwriting my phone crashes, my phone redirects all the time in the browser and error codes along with this site is no longer available or has been moved or has the name is changed, which is more than often. I sent you some pictures if you look at the pictures you can see that some of the writing on some sites Have words covered by other words. Words on top of words so you can see what’s underneath it and I find it’s always something that’s important something to click on to like move ahead or to see what’s on the next page, but again, the book writing over writing, and he blocked me from clicking on it. I’ve been logged out of all four my email accounts I had to create a new. I get multiple login requests or my login will flip After I just put it in and the next page be another login asking me to do exactly what I just put in for credentials and passwords the same site.

I’ve literally logged out of my Wi-Fi after rebooting my router and forgot the network on my phone just to try to refresh it and see if anything would help, but when I Connected everything back on and Search for my net work to connect my Wi-Fi it showed my Wi-Fi password and my routers name as two available networks. So it was my network name and then the password for my network that was visible. My password swings in available networks it show the whole password right underneath my network connection name. At the time we live in the country and the only network that would show up would be ours because we were 3 acres apart from houses in peoples Wi-Fi is never showed up and we were in a valley. Another thing that happened was when I disconnected the router, rebooted it. And then I had this happen it really weirded me out, but It showed Google conference Call Connected on my laptop screen for seconds, and then My screen flipped I’ve been disconnected out of my android box, Wi-Fi My Wi-Fi not being connected on my phone, but yet it is showing on mine phone fulls bars.

My TVs, emails And almost everything I have always changes Always changes I keep getting these emails in my Outlook account for casinos but when you go to unsubscribe it takes you to some explicit content.

If you don't want an external drive of any type, that leaves a pay for service cloud based system.

iCloud Drive is NOT a backup solution, it's an interactive service ... files come and go; history is not maintained.
