What kind of interesting jobs do u guys have (NO UNEMPLOYED OR HOW DO I GET A JOB PLZ)

I have been dealing with a strange account-specific iCloud problem for more than a month, and I am running out of normal troubleshooting steps.

On two iPhones, an iPad, and a Mac, Contacts, Messages, and Phone either show a blank white screen, freeze, or crash. I cannot reliably read texts, receive SMS or bank verification codes, view contacts, or place and answer normal calls on any of my three phone numbers. WhatsApp and Discord generally work, so the problem seems concentrated in Apple services that use contact data.

I posted on Apple developer, reddit, everywhere you can think of, I’ve talked to Apple support probably over a dozen times, I’ve been in person twice to the genius bar and this issue is still happening. I’ve got no response and information as a result, I can’t even back up some of the most critical data to try again on a new iCloud account (even if I did then loosing purchases etc)

I know from my conversations that there have been other people affected. It is not just me and the solution is supposedly to keep your devices updated. It has been over a month reaching two months and has disrupted my life in massive proportion. There was a time when I got hit on the highway and tried to call 911 and because of this bug I could not. I am very upset and being belittled in the forum for this providing details of my circumstances. Apple support gives me zero information whatsoever.

So because of this and I’m paying for extra Apple services I feel extremely wrong and I have proof that it disrupted my life. I can probably request the call transcripts. I have a forum over 50 responses. I am genuinely considering filing against apple for this nonsense.

Has anybody done this before and if you have what would you recommend?

I got a UC Davis parking citation for a considerably superfluous justification.. The way the situation was handled made me quite frustrated and wonder how often students run into the same problem with nonsense plate or permit mismatches, payment apps, and appeals. It turns out quite a few people have had similar issues. We think their conduct needs to be checked...

So we are working on Parking Accountability at UC Davis:

https://ucd-parking-accountability.vercel.app

We are an independent student-led project brought to you by the UC Davis Minecraft Server.

Share this with anybody who you know that has complained about TAPS**.**

Discord: https://discord.gg/Ygj58w5EAc

Essentially our goal is to collect structured, factual reports and determine whether there are repeatable failures or evidence of misconduct. The site has a form which asks what happened, what evidence you have, and what outcome would have been fair. Please DO NOT submit student IDs, financial information, full VINs, or unredacted plates.

We also just submitted a California Public Records Act request asking for two years of:

- citation counts and revenue by violation code;

- violation 4.31 issuance and dismissal data;

- appeal outcomes and processing times;

- guidance for temporary registration and newly purchased vehicles;

- payment-system incident records; and

- relevant vendor contracts and enforcement procedures.

We are going to go through documented experiences, official data to see where TAPS could be made better, and uncover evidence (if it exists) of TAPS misconduct.

If you have a receipt, screenshot, citation photo, appeal decision, or clear timeline, please share it through the site. You can choose anonymized use, and reports are not published automatically. Post complaints prefer through site, but will also note replies and discord messages.

We would also like to hear from anybody interested in legal, data analysis, privacy review, ASUCD policy work, or reporting. Join the discord https://discord.gg/Ygj58w5EAc

The most useful test I have found

1. Factory-reset an iPhone.
2. Set it up as new without restoring a backup.
3. The phone initially works.
4. Sign into the affected Apple Account and let iCloud sync.
5. Contacts, Messages, and Phone break again.

If I remove every synchronized contact, I get some limited functionality back. Adding one test contact breaks it again. A different iCloud account works on the same hardware.

I also found one contact on iCloud.com that had duplicated more than 8,000 times. I deleted the duplicates, but three copies keep returning and cannot be permanently deleted. Calls started working again only when Contacts sync was turned off. Messages is still unusable.

I have tried multiple factory resets, a clean setup without a backup, restoring from backup, force restarts, SIM and network resets, setup without a SIM, recovery mode, current updates, Apple Support calls and chats, senior escalation, feedback reports, and a Genius Bar visit. Apple’s diagnostics came back clean. The Genius Bar could only escalate it or suggest making a new Apple Account.

The duplication pattern is the strongest clue I have. A contact multiplied thousands of times, a few copies keep regenerating after deletion, and the failure follows this account onto clean devices. That makes me think a malformed contact or broken iCloud Contacts index is being downloaded to every signed-in device.

Has anyone seen iCloud contact data corrupt an account this way? Is there any supported way to inspect or export the raw contact records, remove a contact that keeps regenerating, or get the server-side Contacts index rebuilt without abandoning the Apple Account?

I do not want to pay the cleaning fee to deal with his stuff. I will not spend a day digging through this guys drawers of food..

What do I do?

You know how most normal people go and just buy storage or move their stuff in with their parents?

My roommate is going into the forest, like really deep, digging a hole, putting a tarp down, and leaving his stuff in there. He came home dirty a few times and I just kept asking.. I'm in disbelief right now, it cannot be worth saving like at most 300 dollars to do this shit. It takes like ten minutes from a secluded roadway to find this location. You have to cross a river. He is literally burying his stuff, for example his bike taken apart into various pieces, clothing, various items, like a fucking pirate..

Discuss.

Dm me anything with as much specificity as you want and I’ll shoot back offers for everything

Can pay any way you want

Does not break rules because nothing in specific
