Unquote


Both of these have produced the sysdiagnose file which shows no reference to the iWatch.


I would be most grateful if an expert on this forum could advise if the inputs that I am entering to obtain the iWatch sysdiagnose file are correct and if not, where in each line above are the items that should be corrected.


With kind regards

As a follow-up to my post above, the sysdiagnose is suppoesed to take no longer than 15 minutes to download onto my iMac but since I tried to get this folder on 11th July the download is stil showing

My understanding of these outputs is that the iPhone never completed the download so I would be gratefulif anyone could put me in the right direction to resolve this issue.
