Yes you do. In fact Apple warns you several times to keep copies of the key secure because there’s no way for them to help if it’s lost.

Well those back doors don’t seem to be working in the actual case happening currently. What you’re saying is assumptions.
Also you’re the second commenter today to say they have a bridge to sell me. Is this old saying making a comeback or is it bots?


If a person is using lockdown mode they more than likely also have Advanced Data Protection enabled. This removes iCloud keys on Apple’s side and is only stored on device.
In that case you hold the keys and it’s encrypted.


AI is not my thing. I don’t really appreciate these companies scanning everything under the sun, but this is a case where Google did it better. They used a custom scanner that didn’t require books to be destroyed in order to scan.


I’m proud to be able to work with my hands and so should anyone else who does. It doesn’t matter if it’s for a job or just around your home. Never too late to learn.
Better to know how to do for yourself instead of being a helpless dick like Alex Karp and his Ancient Aliens theory hairdo.

There’s a response from someone at Apple Community support that explains what might be happening.
FWIW, “System Data” is not just space used with macOS system applications but it is also contains user data that does not neatly fit into one of the other categories. Often a lot of this but not all can be found in the hidden user’s Library folder (accessed by holding down the Option key and selecting the “Go” menu in Finder.
If you open this folder look at the size of the “Application Support” folder. Depending on your apps, they could be storing a lot of data in these folders. Before messing with anything in these folders, you need to go to the application developer site and see what can be done with them. Some apps can allow certain portions of that data to be located on an external drive.
As for the amount you are seeing, 50-60 GB is not unusual for “System Data”.
Here’s the link. There’s not much more there but I like to share where I got the quote from.
Good luck!


I also have a Sony TV and watch Vincent on HDTVtest.
The TCL news is shocking. Time will tell but it doesn’t seem good to me.
