Filled my iCLoud when using my last phone and had turned it off anyway because it reminded me I was out of space 38 times a day. Of course when turning it off it threatens vaguely to delete all of your photos in wording that doesn't quite make sense. So before turning iCloud off on the last phone I hooked it up to my PC and downloaded all the pics, or so I thought. Then I turned off iCloud. Well, it brought maybe 15 percent of my pics over onto the PC. Ughhh.
So, I was trying to see if my cloud photos were still there despite the iOS threats to delete them all forever to punish me for turning off iCloud and not simply buying more space. (Why oh why don't they just have an SD slot?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!) I turned on iCloud for my new phone, which only has about 400 pics on it, and immediately I get the iCloud full warning, with 5 GB of photos, so my old pics are still there. Although I could not access them somehow via my new phone even though I followed the clear as mud instructions on the website. (I went to turn iCloud off again and then it said it was going to delete all of my 400 pictures on the new phone) like really? Well that was one of the only choices they funneled me to.
in any case, that brings me to the matter at hand, which is I went to iCloud.com to try and look at and get some of my pics. I had to change my password because I forgot it.....apparently....even though when I chose my new password, it said it cant be the same as my last password....Really?!?! Well then I hadn't forgot, unless I made a typo 4 times a moment earlier. Sooooooooo now when I log into iCloud.com it says "Welcome Back!" for about 2 seconds before going back to the login screen, whereupon I am NOT, in fact logged in. Closed the browser, opened it again, same thing. I am just not impressed with the functionality of Apple's stuff at all. Yes, 2 factor is on, I had to go through that to change password etc.
So what is wrong with the iCloud website or my access to said entity? Thanks,
