Cover Of The Rolling Stone

By Jack Beckman On May 2, 2012 · 4 Comments
You might recall when I accidentally tested the durability of my iPad, which led me to dump Apple’s Smart Cover for a new cover from Mophie. That cover was OK, but it had one big problem – the band used to hold the cover shut connects to the bottom of the [...]

Watch MacGroup TV on your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch

MGTV
No one knows how hard it is to always make it to the MacGroup meetings more than me. I’ve been doing it for over 25 years and there have been times where I wished that there wasn’t a meeting today! However, life goes on and I do my best to make every meeting. However, if [...]

Brydge

By Chita Hunter On April 26, 2012 · Add Comment
      A Better Typing Experience on the iPad? I am aware that the intent of the iPad is that it be a self-contained device. And more times than not, I use it that way. No stylus, your finger is supposed to do. No external keyboard, the one [...]

Couldn’t Get It Right

By Jack Beckman On April 25, 2012 · Add Comment
I recently picked up “the new iPad,” and one of the main reasons was because of the ability to use it as a hotspot. Sure, I could have dropped my pseudo-unlimited data plan on my iPhone and used it for a hotspot (and I suppose I still can in a pinch), but I wanted the [...]

iPad to Apple TV

By Phyllis Evans On April 24, 2012 · Add Comment
The MacGroup Detroit meeting on April 22nd covered the latest iPad and Apple TV. As usual, there wasn’t enough time to cover everything and the Genius Table was handed a question after the meeting ended. “Can you wirelessly stream photos from an iPad to an Apple TV without going through a computer.” The simple answer [...]

We Can Be Together

By Jack Beckman On April 18, 2012 · Add Comment
Just a quick update on a product I first mentioned a couple of years back called Crossover Mac. CodeWeavers has produced a new version, version XI, that does away with the dual versions they used to have. It used to be that there was Crossover and Crossover Games, a version optimized for, [...]

iTunes Radio

By Phyllis Evans On April 17, 2012 · 3 Comments
Have you checked out the Radio section of iTunes lately? I did last week, and wow, what a surprise. I was beginning to think that Apple was backing off on streaming radio. At the February MacGroup meeting, one of our members came to the Genius Table for help because of the error messages that she [...]

CloudFTP

By Chita Hunter On April 12, 2012 · Add Comment
    Wirelessly Share Content—Securely CloudFTP is a pocketsize device that, like your Apple computer with AirDrop, creates it’s own WiFi network. So you can take this device with you, anywhere. Connect an external USB device to CloudFTP and your other WiFi enabled devices, such as your iPad, [...]

Can’t You See

By Jack Beckman On April 11, 2012 · 2 Comments
iOS devices would seem to be tailor-made for using with video conferencing equipment. But trying to find a solution that works well, without buying onto an entire ecosystem, has been difficult. But it’s a bit easier now if you have an iPad 2 or 3, or an iPhone 4S. Polycom has recently updated their Read Full Article →

Phishing for iCloud

By Phyllis Evans On April 10, 2012 · Add Comment
Just a quicky post this week. As MobileMe is coming to an end on June 30, we should expect to see more phishing schemes hitting the email inbox. I’ve seen a few so far. The latest hit my inbox this morning. If you haven’t yet migrated from MobileMe to iCloud you will get legitimate reminders [...]

Understanding iTunes Authorizations

By Terry White On April 9, 2012 · 3 Comments
itunes10logo
When the iTunes Store first opened it was pretty simple to understand the rules of “Authorization.” However, now with the App Store, Mac App Store, iTunes Match, Apple TV, etc. it can be really confusing. There are also different rules depending on the type of content in question. For example, if I bought a song [...]

On a Mission

By Chita Hunter On April 5, 2012 · 3 Comments
    Salman Khan is on a mission to educate the world. The one-size-fits-all is a model in education that never worked. Learning is at different paces. Comprehension may take a few examples, not just one. And if you don’t get what’s being taught, that gap may never [...]

Why does love got to be so sad?

By Jack Beckman On April 4, 2012 · Add Comment
I want to make you aware of a funny and sad (if you take it too seriously) site called “Screenshots of Despair.” People upload screenshots of some of the most depressing screens, popups, and other computer responses.You’d almost thing they were written by the folks at Despair.com (who make far [...]

What, me worry? Mad has arrived on the iPad.

By Phyllis Evans On April 3, 2012 · Add Comment
15045_900x1350
Mad Magazine has been around for nearly 60 years. I freely admit that I’ve been reading it nearly that long. I was probably 8 or 9 when I snitched my first issue from my cousin Dean. After that, I used my allowance to buy it (25¢ Cheap!) whenever I found it at the drug store. [...]

Mary Grey 1929-2012 R.I.P.

By Terry White On April 2, 2012 · 5 Comments
On Friday, March 30th, 2012 we lost one of our own. Our beloved member Mary Grey has left us and we are deeply saddened by this loss. Mary has been a long time member and friend of MacGroup and me personally. She has always been there for us and helped the group by volunteering since [...]

Maybe we should just backup

By Calvin Carson On March 30, 2012 · 1 Comment
I know it’s been a while but she is back because ……..     F R I D A Y !!!!   I missed writing this blog. It’s one of my pleasures in life sharing my insights and thoughts on backing up and preserving yours and my data. It’s crucial and [...]

Bad Company

By Jack Beckman On March 28, 2012 · 1 Comment
I went on a call to a client’s house over the weekend. His complaint was a common one – “my computer is slow.” I went over to take a look, and as I expected, the slowness was caused by downloading and installing too many background programs. This is stuff he never uses, and doesn’t even [...]

It has been a while since I shared any of my favorite iPad apps, but I have one utility-type app that I seem to use frequently. Posted. It’s a simple, inexpensive ($1.99) app that has one use only — delivery tracking. (They have a free version that you can try first.) Whether [...]

Combination of the Two

By Jack Beckman On March 21, 2012 · 1 Comment
At the last MacGroup Afterglow, I brought up how Photo Stream was getting there but still had a weird quirk. For those of you unfamiliar with Photo Stream, it’s an iCloud feature added to iOS 5 that takes any photo you snap – including screen shots, or downloaded graphics – and makes [...]

iCloudy Weather

By Phyllis Evans On March 20, 2012 · 7 Comments
I’ve had my .mac email address since Apple first offered free email service. When they started charging for MobileMe, I was one of the few who didn’t complain. I live by the phrase ‘no such thing as a free lunch.’ Someone always has to pay the bill. I like having my .mac address. I can [...]
