Macworld Want to know every device that’s logged into your iCloud account? It’s a breeze to find out–and may assuage any fears you have that someone has tapped into your accounts. In these uncertain times, the Mac 911 mailbox routinely hears from readers who worry that something is up. You can put at least one fear to rest by checking that iCloud device list. (Most recently, someone wondered if an unknown party was inserting entries into the Reading List.) Nobody can gain access to any of your iCloud information without physical access to your devices, the ability to log in with your account information at iCloud.com (for limited kinds of data) or iCloud for Windows (even more limited), or by logging in to an Apple device with your Apple ID. If someone logs in using anything but an Apple device: If your Apple ID has two-factor authentication enabled (most accounts do) they must obtain the verification code from one of your trusted devices or phone numbers. If they succeed in logging in at a new location, Apple emails your Apple ID-associated email address with the login details. iCloud for Windows allows access to iCloud Keychain, a significant security risk, but you have to jump through a few verification and encryption hoops to get there. It’s not as simple as having a password. Any Apple devices logged into your iCloud account will always appear in a list Apple maintains. This includes any Mac, iPhone, iPad, or Watch, as well as any Apple TV, HomePod/HomePod mini, Windows system, or third-party smart TV with Apple TV software. You can access this list in three places: Via the Apple ID website: Go to appleid.apple.com, click Sign In, and log in with your credentials. Click Devices in the left-hand menu bar. In iOS/iPadOS: Go to Settings > Account Name and swipe down until you see your devices. In macOS: Go to System Settings > Account Name and scroll down in the main window to the Devices section. In iCloud for Windows: Click Account Details and then click Manage Apple ID. This list shows a lot of details when you select a device: its serial number, Find My status, last iCloud Backup (if any), whether it’s correctly set up as a trusted device (for applicable hardware), associated Apple Pay cards, and installed version. This makes it easy to determine whether all the devices belong to you and should have access. Apple lets you see details associated with all the Apple devices logged into your iCloud account at a glance.

Removing it breaks its connection with iCloud, disables its use as a trusted device, and deletes it from the list. If you have access to the device you want to remove, you can instead sign out of iCloud and all other stores and services directly from the device.

Macworld Following a report that the Notes app will offer new math-based features, AppleInsider reports that the Calculator app will get a major overhaul in macOS 15. Apple is expected to debit macOS 15 at its Worldwide Developers Conference 2024 in June. The changes to the macOS Calculator include: A redesign that resembles the iOS Calculator app. While the macOS Calculator app has a similar layour and color scheme as the iOS Calculator, the iPhone app has circular buttons compared to square buttons on the Mac. An adjustable window size that replaces the current fixed size. You can choose between basic, scientific and programmer views in the menubar but the Mac Calculator app doesn’t support resizing by dragging the window corners. A history tape that displays past calculations, which would reportedly appear as a sidebar with the ability to toggle it through a button. More intuitive interface for unit conversions. Support for the new Math Notes feature in the macOS 15 Notes app. The Calculator app hasn’t gotten much (if any) attention from Apple. It got a facelift in macOS Yosemite, but its functionality hasn’t changed much, if at all. Users usually turn to third-party apps such as PCalc ($9.99) or Soulver ($34.95). Apple is expected to showcase AI features in macOS 15, and it looks like the Calculator app could be one area with AI-based upgrades.
