By Terry White On December 29, 2014 · 3 Comments

The Season for Giving

By Phyllis Evans On December 23, 2014 · Add Comment

Importing Your Customized InDesign Shortcuts File

By Chita Hunter On December 4, 2014 · Add Comment
Creating Keyboard Shortcuts Can Be an Indispensable Time-saver Some of the things we do when working within apps is quite repetitive. Nothing can be more mundane (and energy sucking) than doing the same things over and over again. Yet, it is a reality of life. So, for those times when I [...]

Touch ID and American Express

By James R. Cutler On December 2, 2014 · Add Comment
I really like Touch ID. I use the American Express app on my iPhone. Right after receiving my new iPhone 6 in September I loaded Passbook with both credit and debit cards. Apple Pay worked at CVS, the Apple Store, and McDonalds. The simplicity of Apple Pay is delightful. No fumbling for a wallet or [...]

A New Microsoft Attitude?

By Phyllis Evans On November 11, 2014 · Add Comment
This past week Microsoft updated Word, Excel and Powerpoint for the iPad and iPhone and gave everyone a nice bonus. When they first introduced the Office apps for iPad and iPhone, you needed a paid Microsoft Office 365 subscription to do anything other than view documents on your iDevice.

If You have an Apple TV, you don’t need a Chromecast

By Terry White On November 10, 2014 · Add Comment
One of the things that Apple TV has been used for a lot is to mirror the display of a late model Mac or iOS Device. I was actually curious about the Chromecast when it came out, so I ordered one. The idea behind it was that once you connected it to your [...]

Assign Ringtones for Contacts in Yosemite

By Terry White On October 27, 2014 · 4 Comments
I’m a fan of assigning ringtones to my contacts. However, this task is one that until now always had to be done on the iPhone itself. To make matters worse Apple buried the Ringtone assignment under the Edit button instead it being a pop-up menu like it used to be (in iOS 5 or 6). [...]

Spotted! ApplePay!

By Chita Hunter On October 22, 2014 · Add Comment
For whatever reason, this technology excites me! (I know, it’s not Thursday yet, but I’m sneaking in here.) I like the idea of ApplePay.
