iPad Mini backup setting in iTunes keeps changing to iCloud
I back up both my iPhone and iPad to my MacBook, not iCloud. Each time I connect, the iPhone backup setting sticks with "to this Mac" whereas each time my iPad Mini is connect, the setting defaults back to "to iCloud". I've signed out and back into iCloud on my MacBook, iPad but the setting still refuses to stick.
Any advice or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.0
