It sounds like your fig tree might have rust. This article should help:

We have recently planted the tree, it was already fairly established when purchased - about 1.5m in height. We have planted in a large pot on our patio next to a fence. The top of the tree - i.e all the leaves etc are in full sun, but the base of the tree is in shade. Will this be an issue? We've noticed since planting the tree 2 weeks ago that the lower leaves have started to turn yellow
Shaded areas of the foliar canopy of course cannot photosynthesize nutrients from sunlight, so foliage in those areas will yellow and decline and drop. But as long as a large percentage of the foliage can get sunlight, and other aspects of your soil fertility and water management are in order, then it won't be cause for overall decline and mortality.
Hello, I have a newly established fig tree sapling (3cm trunk) in the garden which now has a small hole (3cm diameter) beneath which I assume has been dug by a mouse or vole. Is it likely that the animal will harm the tree or can I just let it be? Thank you
Yes voles and other rodents can damage the tree. It's best to control them.

This sounds like powdery mildew. This is easily treatable. This article will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/disease/get-the-cure-for-powdery-mildew.htm
I pick figs from a neighbors tree bot tut the figs have dark spots on then. Are they good? My husband says I have to get rid of the ones with dark spots on them but that is nearly all of them. I wanted to make fig preserves with them
Most fruit with some markings or spots are completely safe to eat. Without seeing the damage, I can't say for certain what the fruit is damaged from.
I would like to move my fig tree from the north side to the south (lower) side. Would it be better to cut a slip?
Transplanting of course will give you the fastest results, depending on the size of the tree, your skill and ability in moving an established tree, and ability to follow up with appropriate soil and water management as the tree gets established in it's new location.
Starting a new tree from a cutting also takes knowledge and skill in the various techniques available for propagation. And if successful, it will take a few years to become established and productive.
If you are not experienced in transplanting or in propagation, it may be best to seek professional help, to avoid failure and disappointment. Especially in the tree moving, for which you will have only one chance to get it right.
