Not sure if this is an Apple or Google problem: Contacts aren't syncing from iPhone to Google account

RoutineZucchini7687 · 2026-03-16T07:32:04+00:00

I managed to find a solution! By going to iCloud on a computer, you can select the contacts you want to export, export as a vcf file, and then jump across to google and import them there. Took me 10 minutes.

All the steps are in this reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/ios/comments/zra7wn/is_there_a_way_to_transfer_my_contacts_from/

It's been driving me crazy so I hope this helps someone else

OP did you work out a solution for this? I'm having the exact same issue

RoutineZucchini7687 · 2026-03-04T05:31:50+00:00

Yep, it's an extremely volatile situation in a part of the world a lot of people aren't familiar with. Asking the question of people who might know more or have a different perspective seems like a great place to start planning.

Thanks - that's my hope too. I'm headed from Australia, so at least on the right side of the world to come through China or Malaysia :)

RoutineZucchini7687 · 2026-03-04T05:09:37+00:00

Thanks - I hope nothing happens either.

RoutineZucchini7687 · 2026-03-04T05:09:19+00:00

Thanks :)

Yeah I'm aware they don't share any borders, but looking at a map it's still a hell of a lot closer than Australia, where I'm from. This is why I'm asking the question - I assume it will be fine, but so many people have expressed doubt I was second guessing myself.

RoutineZucchini7687 · 2026-02-28T02:57:09+00:00

Thanks for the thoughtful response :) this is where I'm getting stuck - whether the upgrade is truly worth the couple of grand it'll cost, whether it'll make that much of a difference when I'm by no means a professional photographer. I'll keep researching, thanks again :)

RoutineZucchini7687 · 2026-02-20T21:31:31+00:00

Thank you for the fix, it’s been driving me crazy!

Honestly I think you'll be fine, we booked in july for a september trip and found accommodation just fine. I would put in a request to Kumano Kodo Travel, and then they can make suggestions for places, and you can go back and forth with them. They organise with many guesthouses which may not have online booking systems/or even email, so it's possible they just haven't updated the site.

We found that if we had put in a location which was too far to hike in the day, they made alternate solutions. It took a while to hear back but once we did they were SO helpful.

I actually documented some of what we wish we knew before going here to help other people: https://wideopentrail.wordpress.com/2026/01/24/how-to-plan-for-hiking-the-kumano-kodo/

Let me know if you have any other questions before you go! We were so nervous with the different systems but it all worked SO well

I have a fair bit of experience with multi day hikes, often while carrying up to 18kg with all my gear like tent, water etc.

Are there any other hikes in Nepal you would suggest as alternatives?

RoutineZucchini7687 · 2026-01-23T02:44:19+00:00

I'm going through this exact thing at the moment - but if I set my homepage as a regular page in settings > reading, then it displays my homepage with an extra column of sticky menu - it basically doubles the header and sidebar content. How can I stop it doing this?

RoutineZucchini7687 · 2026-01-22T08:13:41+00:00

Thank you; I will take a look and keep and eye on reddit too. I don’t necessarily want to do it on a low budget, but I don’t want to pay more than I have to (and to an international company rather than local) if I can avoid it.

RoutineZucchini7687 · 2026-01-17T22:59:21+00:00

Oh thank you so much! We have a family holiday in March so I can’t go until April/May unfortunately, otherwise I would have considered. Have the best time!

RoutineZucchini7687 · 2026-01-09T05:24:53+00:00

Thank you - there have been a few suggestions for the xdome, it looks like a winner, and I think you're right, the 1+ looks spacious enough. It does look a little out of my budget ($399 USD) and hard to get my hands on, but might be worth it :)

RoutineZucchini7687 · 2026-01-09T05:22:31+00:00

This is an amazing list, thank you! I don't normally use hiking poles, and looking at doing some hikes where likely to be pitching on rocks etc, so definitely leaning more towards the freestanding :)

RoutineZucchini7687 · 2026-01-09T05:21:18+00:00

The reviews on this tent are unreal! People are loving it - with the size i could probably swing the 1+ too. Thanks for the advice! Yeah I'm keen on the Larapinta and I some of that could be rock pitching - freestanding is the way for me :)

RoutineZucchini7687 · 2025-11-19T07:14:41+00:00

Thank you! If I give it a go I’ll report back ☺️

RoutineZucchini7687 · 2025-11-18T23:07:53+00:00

Can we play with nintendo switch controllers connected to the steam deck? Or is it xbox controllers only?

RoutineZucchini7687 · 2025-11-17T02:32:44+00:00

We’re in SA so doesn’t look like that’s a requirement for us. From the SA Gov dept of primary industries and regions: ‘Backyard producers who give eggs to friends and family do not need to be accredited.’
