get iMessages over to new iPad

In setting up my old iPad Pro for my wife, everything in iCloud synced over just like expected. Since her old iPad 2 didn't store iMessages in the cloud, there are now no messages in her Messages app. How might one sync those over?

new 12.9 iPad Pro setup

Just had my iPad Pro delivered after a rather lengthy wait. I ordered about 20 minutes after pre-order started.
Anyways, I want to start off on the right foot. I can put my old iPad Pro next to it to set it up apparently. Or, would it be better to set it up as a new one and not carry over anything but redownload and install all my purchased apps? The only real database I have for any app would be with DevonThink-To-Go. All the other apps have data stored in the Cloud, Dropbox, etc.

New Mac blocker & Meteorologist update

Tried on Roadblock recently. Very costomisable & the best blocker I've used on Safari. (Damn you, Adguard!)

Yahoo! weather stopped working so lonsstanding, beloved, free & open-source weather app, Meteorologist, released a beta on Sourceforge & switched to commercial outfit Visual Crossing for weather data. There are some snags still but they're getting there. Best weather app anywhere.

Accidental drop of HDD while connected to Macbook Pro

I had an external magnetic hard drive hooked up to my old 2007 MBP with the notebook sitting on my lap in the living room. I was watching TV at the time while transferring some video files to the external HDD. I watched more TV for some more minutes then decided to take a washroom break. I forgot that the external HDD was still connected. As soon I moved the MBP to the side, the USB cable dragged the external HDD along and the enclosure dropped to the carpet. Uh oh. The external HDD...

New Mac mini, "Unified memory", upgradable?

Hi all
I'm considering buying a new Mac Mini that comes with "unified memory". Is this upgradable in the future or is this memory soldered to the main board? Same with the ssd drive, upgradable?

IPad Pro and iPadOS

I love this idea. I’m not a Pro App user, but would love to further the potential of my new M1 iPad Pro 12.9!!

Apple @ Work: macOS virtualization on iPad Pro would turn it into a powerful enterprise computer - 9to5Mac

If Apple allowed virtualization of macOS and Windows on iPad Pro, it would help justify the cost of the device over the iPad Air.

Safari windows

There are many issues which require quitting all open applications, clearing the caches (thank you, OnyX!) & restarting, including just general cleanup & maintenance.

I use a great little app called SafariTabList which records my open tabs every morning at 10am. Works great.

But I'd like to be able to restore my windows on restart. Chrome, Firefox, Opera, all do this. Is there an easy way to save my Safari windows?
