Gimme Some Money

By Jack Beckman On March 30, 2011 · 2 Comments
You may have heard about Amazon's new Cloud Drive service (basically, some free storage, like Dropbox, with more available if you buy music from Amazon, or you can just buy more). One of the things different from other services is that Amazon has added a web-based player so you can listen [...]

What’s Time Machine Actually Backing Up?

By Terry White On March 28, 2011 · 7 Comments
I love Time Machine! I think it's one of the best additions to the modern Mac OS. However, sometimes Apple makes things too simple. While no one can argue the simplicity of just turning Time Machine on and letting it do its thing, sometimes I need a little more information than what the Time Machine [...]

Sandbox

By Chita Hunter On March 24, 2011 · 1 Comment
      Awhile ago, I wrote an article on how to create a "Sandbox" using ShirtPocket's SuperDuper.  I use a Sandbox every time I test beta software or when upgrading OS software. I don't like to break software that is working just fine, if I don't have to. Creating and [...]

Roll With The Changes

By Jack Beckman On March 23, 2011 · 3 Comments
I recently picked up one of the new MacBook Pros to replaced my older model.I migrated everything pretty easily with Migration Assistant, and other than having to re-authorize a lot of programs, it was pretty painless. I connected my old laptop up and booted it into Firewire Target Disk mode, then ran a firewire 800 [...]

Spring has Sprung — Ah choo!

By Phyllis Evans On March 22, 2011 · Add Comment
I can't remember a time when I wasn't cursed with allergies. Fortunately, the majority of my allergies are not life threatening, but they are annoying and can be uncomfortable. And messy. Ah choo! I've learned over the years that not all of my allergies respond to the same antihistamines, so I tend to switch them [...]

Tagging Your Login Screen

By Chita Hunter On March 17, 2011 · 1 Comment
    Remember when you were in grade school and your mom wrote your name on the tag inside of your coat? What? Oh, you do that to your kids' clothing, too! Oh, and a few items of your own as well. There's no shame in tagging your items. Especially when your [...]

The Voice

By Jack Beckman On March 16, 2011 · Add Comment
Remember those Nextel phones with their "push to talk" feature? Nextel is now just a marketing name for Sprint, but the feature is still around – you can pick a contact, and then hit a button, and use your phone like a walkie-talkie (with the right phone hardware, of course). Saves you dialing, but instead [...]

Multi-touch Gestures

By Phyllis Evans On March 15, 2011 · 8 Comments
While I'm usually in line for the latest and greatest from Apple, I'm content to stay with my original iPad. It does everything I want it to do. I'm not unhappy with the weight. (Hey, it's a whole lot lighter than a laptop.) Camera? Nope, don't need it or want it. I'm usually behind a [...]

Get Back

By Jack Beckman On March 9, 2011 · 1 Comment
Most computer users have experienced an upgrade release of software that didn't exactly thrill us – sometimes features got taken away, sometimes the program was buggy – but in any case, we decided to back out the upgrade and re-install the older version. Well, that's usually not too hard on your Mac. But what do [...]

How to Replace a Song in iTunes with a Higher Quality Version

By Terry White On March 7, 2011 · 6 Comments
Digital music has continued to evolve since Apple released the first iPod back in 2001. Back then MP3 was the popular format and then Apple switched gears to AAC. The AAC format promised better sounding music at smaller or the same file sizes as the .MP3s they were replacing. Once the iTunes Music Store launched [...]
