jMac Fixes Everything

SUMMARY:
In this episode, Jamie and Audrey do some recap of previous topics to clean up some loose ends before delving into a variety of topics including Apple Pay, iCloud Backups and Storage options, and the all important question “Where’s my data?”. We break down the common confusion concerning multiple accounts (Apple ID, Gmail, Comcast, etc) using the same or different email addresses and what information (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc) is syncing through that service and how to look at it as one big data set or segment it down to look at one account / service at a time. And finally, we discuss AppleCare+ and other insurance options, common damage and repair issues including broken screens and batteries, and the main difference between the Apple Universe and the Android/Windows platforms.
