Stopping apps from running in the background on iPhone

Battery drains fast even when I'm not using the phone. Do I need to swipe apps closed, or is turning off background app refresh the proper way? Not sure which apps are the problem.

Moving everything to a new iPhone without iCloud

My iCloud storage is basically full and I don't want to pay just for a transfer. Is the direct phone to phone transfer reliable, or is a cable backup on a computer better?

usb stick says the disk is write protected

Every time I try to copy something to my 32gb usb drive Windows says the disk is write protected. There's no little lock switch on it. Formatting fails with the same message. Is the stick dead or is there a fix?

getting the total size of a folder in the terminal

ls only shows file sizes, not the size of a whole directory with everything inside it. I need to know which folders in my home directory are eating the disk on my Ubuntu laptop. What's the command for that?

Clearing the Safari cache on a Mac, not the history

One site keeps loading a broken version of itself. I want to clear only the cached files, not my history or saved logins. Is that possible in Safari settings?

Mac Pro restarts and shows a pink screen

Older Mac Pro tower. Screen goes pink for a second, then it reboots. Happened three times today, once while just watching a video. Graphics card on the way out, or software?

emails from people in my contacts aren't reaching my outlook inbox

Friends say they've emailed me but nothing arrives, not in junk either. Strangers' newsletters arrive fine. Using Outlook in the browser, not the desktop app. Is there some rule or filter that could be swallowing them?

One gmail account for a church and its school, or two?

I volunteer at a small church that also runs a primary school. They want a shared email for both that a few people can check. Is one gmail address with two signatures sensible, or is there a better way to set it up so the school stuff stays separate?
