The problem with "upgrading the OS" is that it means buying a new computer. I cannot put anything later than Mojave 10.14.6 on my Mac and even my Windows PC won't work with Windows 11. I think Apple and Microsoft have shares in PC manufacturing companies.

I found some ways on browser search but found them complicated.
I was backing it up to older computer using iTunes but all of a sudden I think my hard drive on that machine died. It makes noises when I try to open it but screen is blank.
My phone is too large to back up to my computer or my current 5g cloud.

I¡¯ll think about it again; I prefer not to be beholded to any site so I tend not to join ongoing auto payments. Mu husband decided to join so for two of us it would be an extra $2.00/mo. almost. ?Doesn¡¯t sound like much but I paid for these external drives so I¡¯d prefer to have the backups there. Anyway, I¡¯ll give it more thought.

After speaking with Spectrum again (I still have to call HP again), the agent suggested I get a wifi extender. I don¡¯t want to rent from Spectrum and would rather buy one. I¡¯ve checked out some and there are a lot and with different ranges etc¡ Do any iomuggers have some suggestions?
Considering until I got this new router and moden, (and then had to get a new hp printer,) I NEVER HAD A PROBLEM PRINTING FROM ANYWHERE IN MY HOUSE!. Now not only can I not use Spectrum to print, I have to (as I have said) need to use a wifi address from the printer itself while I am standing in front of the printer. Spectrum agent said I should always use spectrum. He reset my router. It worked. ONCE. Next time I tried to print, didn¡¯t work. He said I could go onto the Web site and reset the router there. Couldn¡¯t figure it out. Why should I have to do that everytime I print? I¡¯d rather change the wifi route. So I am hoping an extended wifi defice might help me out, but Which one? By the way he checked out my intenet and said it all looks good from Spectrum¡¯s end.
Thanks for your help¡

So I¡¯m at a loss to be able to help you, because I don¡¯t know where we are.

It would be if Apple would accept linking my credit card to my wife's (or even my own) Apple ID. The problem is the country has to be the same in THREE places: AppStore, billing address and card issuer. And Apple doesn't seem to use the card issuers' own apps for authentication.

iMazing is a super application. I have both the Mac and the Windows versions. I use both of them for my own iPads and when I can get access to the phone, also for my wife's iPhone.

I would use either iMazing for Mac and/or iMazing for Windows. You need to play with the backup location, but you can use any drive.
