We use it in multiple locations and just have to enter a code from time to time. But yes, going over to her house to scan the code seems like a good plan.

I think the code has to be in my house with my wifi. But her brother, my colleague, is going to lend me an apple tv so I think I can do it.

Ok can any apple gurus help me out? I’m confused by iCloud Photos. I don’t want or need ALL of my photos in the cloud! For starters that’s way too many photos and storage. I keep them on my Mac. But what I want is the old photo stream—if I took photos on my phone they were uploaded to the cloud (and if my phone died or got stolen before I could sync to my Mac they were still there) but I still then downloaded them to my Mac and could delete and favorite and so on, and reupload only rhe ones I wanted to keep, to my phone. But now my choice seems to be “don’t have a backup until you sync to your laptop” or “keep eeeeewverything in the cloud”. Am I missing something?
