Cloud Storage Love/Hate

By Phyllis Evans On September 11, 2012 · 1 Comment
At the last MacGroup meeting, Terry White covered some of the new features in Mountain Lion. One thing that he covered was Notifications and how to get rid of the notices that pop up from subscribed calendars. While that works for Notifications, it didn’t help with the notices from iCloud that kept showing up in [...]

Where’s that Photostream Image?

By Chita Hunter On September 6, 2012 · Add Comment
    Another way to access your iOS Photostream images Quite a few of the images that I take with my iOS devices end up on my Mac for use elsewhere, like on a blog or for documentation purposes. The usual ways I get the images into my Mac are to [...]

Do It Again

By Jack Beckman On September 5, 2012 · Add Comment
As you may remember from this post, I was pretty surprised by the results of my FireWire 800 vs eSATA test. So when I found another FireWire 800/eSATA drive around, I decided to try my test again. This drive is still in an enclosure from OWC, a “Mercury Elite Pro.” [...]

What’s Right for Your Needs?

By Phyllis Evans On September 4, 2012 · 1 Comment
Last week I finally retired my 2008 MacBook and replaced it with a nice 11“ MacBook Air. I debated long and hard about the replacement for the old laptop. My laptop needs are minimal. I don’t travel for work, like some of my friends, so I don’t need heavy duty power. Photo and video editing [...]

Shopping for Apps Just Got a Little Easier

By Chita Hunter On August 30, 2012 · Add Comment
    Treasure Hunting Lately, I’ve spent a fair amount of time browsing through the App Store. I wanted to see what was new or just new to me. It’s always exciting, like a treasure hunt, to see what developers have brought to the table. But, with there now being over [...]

If It Makes You Happy

By Jack Beckman On August 29, 2012 · Add Comment
I was initially disappointed in one of the Safari sharing features implemented in Mountain Lion, until I looked into it further, and found it’s actually pretty nicely implemented. As you may know, Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8) has had “Sharing” added all over the place – you can find the little sharing button all over [...]

Basic Troubleshooting Reminders

By Phyllis Evans On August 28, 2012 · 1 Comment
We all have those moments when nothing seems to work the way it should. When you have one of those moments, don’t panic. Follow some basic steps. If the keyboard, mouse, printer, etc. isn’t responding — check cables (both ends!). If it has a power switch, turn it off and then back on. If it [...]

MacGroup Moves From MobileMe to Flickr

By Terry White On August 27, 2012 · Add Comment
MobileMe was a good service that many of you relied on for a variety of things including web hosting and hosting of your photos to share with friends and family. However, at the end of June this year Apple completed its transition from MobileMe to iCloud and shut MobileMe down. Although we as a users [...]

Dare To Be Stupid

By Jack Beckman On August 22, 2012 · 3 Comments
You may have heard that iOS 6 will finally allow FaceTime over 3G networks – provided, of course, that the carrier allows it too. So it should come as no surprise that AT&T (“the nation’s most fragile 3G network”)  has decided to use this as an opportunity to alienate those customers who [...]

Every Little Thing She Does is Magic

By Jack Beckman On August 15, 2012 · 3 Comments
In case you missed it Terry White recently did a speed test to see if FW800 or USB 3.0 was faster. He used a speed test from Black Magic (available in the Mac App Store for free) and also copied a folder to more accuratly portray a real-world usage. I [...]

WordPress for iPad

By Phyllis Evans On August 14, 2012 · Add Comment
Last week version 3.1 of WordPress for iPhone and iPad was released. I usually create these posts on my iMac, but decided to see if the new version is actually as good as they claim. Know what? So far, so good. The interface is clean and easy to navigate. Adding iPad screen captures is simple.

Go Your Own Way

By Jack Beckman On August 8, 2012 · 1 Comment
Back from another road trip, this time to a game convention. The WiFi at the hotel has improved slightly – but unfortunately for the hotel, and the guests, everybody seems to have at least two and often three WiFi devices. I had my computer, iPhone, and iPad. When you have a convention of 1800+ people, [...]

The Dangers of Using the Same Password for Everything

By Terry White On August 6, 2012 · 1 Comment
lockicon
Early on I was guilty as I’m sure many of you are (unfortunately to this day) of using the same password for several accounts, sites, etc. After all you pick a password that you can remember and you start using it everywhere. Even if it’s a “secure” password by today’s standards (random letters, numbers, symbols, [...]

FlashBackup 20 years of pulp based storage.

By Calvin Carson On August 5, 2012 · Add Comment
So it’s Saturday instead of Friday     So to answer the question for her. Yes it was yesterday but it will be back again next week.   Backups are so essential. You don’t think so. Pretty darn boring. Something folks never think of doing. Okay, I could possibly agree with [...]

First Impressions of Mountain Lion

By Phyllis Evans On July 31, 2012 · Add Comment
I always like to keep up with the lastest operating system to test, if not outright install and run right away. When Mountain Lion was released last week I was prepared to test it out, knowing that first releases generally have problems. While I usually install on my laptop first, my MacBook is one generation too [...]

Mountain Tweaks is Here

By Terry White On July 30, 2012 · 1 Comment
Screen Shot 2012-07-29 at 11.58.48 AM
One of the utilities I found to be a must have with Mac OS X 10.7 was “Lion Tweaks”. Lion was a radical departure from a lot of features we have grown to know and love in Mac OS X. Although most of what bugged me could be altered using the Terminal, Lion Tweaks made [...]
