    Question YouTube error: "If playback doesn't begin shortly, try restarting your device"

The videos occasionally do begin to play, but not after at least a 2 to 3 minute wait but usually not at all. And to make this even more puzzling, if they do...

    Question Windows 10 computer doesn't recognize iPhone as external drive

    I'd rather not go to that extreme of a fix right now. I'd like to wait and see if anyone else has ever encountered such a problem and find out what their fix was - and try that. In the meantime, perhaps you or someone else in here can speculate on what it might be.
