By Terry White On January 7, 2013 · 4 Comments

Gonna Send You Back To Walker

By Jack Beckman On January 2, 2013 · 3 Comments
OS X is pretty stable these days. And with memory so cheap, it’s easy to leave programs up for a long time (as well as the OS). But sometimes you need to send some of those programs away. For example, I was looking at Activity Monitor, which I happened to have sorted by Real Memory [...]

Happy New Year!

This is the time of year when we all resolve to change and improve in one way or another. This is my list of resolutions: I resolve to be more faithful in my backups. Yes, I have Time Machine running, and I also have automated backups of my data files and home directory, but I’m [...]

7 Things I’d Like To See in iOS 7

By Terry White On December 31, 2012 · Add Comment
  The iPhone has been around since 2007. It’s funny to think back that far to the original iPhone. I went back and checked a blog post that I wrote in 2007 listing the 50 (wow 50) things that I wanted in a Software update. It was called 50 Ways To Make [...]

You Won’t See Me

By Jack Beckman On December 26, 2012 · 1 Comment
Like many folks, I received an iTunes gift card for Christmas. It’s one of the new ones, with the box around the code. In case you didn’t know, one of the new features of iTunes 11 is the ability to redeem these new cards by simply holding them up to your FaceTime [...]

Poor Poor Pitiful Me

By Jack Beckman On December 19, 2012 · Add Comment
At the last MacGroup meeting, someone asked me what I thought of Google Maps (which, if you haven’t heard, is now available for free for iOS). People are gushing over it, so I think people were surprised when I answered, “for me, it’s unusable.” Unusable? That’s pretty strong, right? But that’s my conclusion currently. [...]

Time for Something Fun

By Phyllis Evans On December 18, 2012 · 1 Comment
In 2006 OfficeMax got together with the crew at JibJab and came up with a customizeable holiday video they called Elf Yourself. Now, anyone who knows me knows that I can’t resist JibJab. I’ve tortured my fellow MacGroup columnists with my holiday videos for the last couple of years. They’re good sports [...]

Stand Your MacBook Pro Up!

By Terry White On December 17, 2012 · 2 Comments
My daily work computer has been my MacBook Pro Retina Display for a while. Recently I even sold my Mac Pro desktop. For what I do day to day, the latest MacBook Pro with 16GBs of RAM offers me enough speed to not really need a dedicated desktop Mac anymore. I also recently got a [...]

Can’t Buy Me Love

By Jack Beckman On December 12, 2012 · Add Comment
In our family, we always make out Christmas lists around Thanksgiving – it keeps people from going through a lot of trouble to get you a purple, left-handed widget when it turns out you’ve already got one. So this year, when I started making my list, I fell back on many of the same sources [...]

Disk Utilities

By Phyllis Evans On December 11, 2012 · 4 Comments
The day after I wrote about Checkmate, my daughter added a new laptop to the house. It came with Lion installed, so I went looking for my flash drive that had the Mountain Lion installer. Now, I don’t know about your internet connection, but a 4.3 GB installer file is just way too big to [...]

It’s now available on everything from iPhone, iPad, Xbox 360, Google TV (which I can [...]

Turn The Page

By Jack Beckman On December 5, 2012 · 2 Comments
Yesterday, Apple updated the iWork programs (Pages, Keynote, and Numbers). I don’t use Keynote or Numbers much as I don’t do many presentations or work with spreadsheets on my iPad. I don’t use Pages because it doesn’t support change tracking  - or it didn’t until now. [...]

Checkmate

MicroMat’s TechTool was probably the first repair utility I bought for my Mac Classic back in 1993 or 1994. It could fix disk problems that no other software could, and it saved my neck more than once. This was back when we were still backing up files to 800 k floppies. As time passed and [...]

OWC Do-It-Yourself Hard Drive Upgrade Bundle

By Terry White On December 3, 2012 · 2 Comments
A good friend of mine sent me an iMessage basically showing that he had run out of space on his MacBook Pro’s 250GB internal drive. He had also been constantly complaining that his computer was running “slow”. Obviously it was time for more hard drive space, but it was alos time to look at a [...]
