By Phyllis Evans On June 12, 2012 · Add Comment
If you have an iPhone or an iPad or even an iPod touch, sooner or later you will have a problem with one of your apps. It’s inevitable. My latest was a loss of sound with HBO Go on my iPad. In checking other apps, I found one other app that lost all sound, but [...]

WatchESPN—Finally!

By Chita Hunter On June 7, 2012 · Add Comment

Opportunities (Let’s Make Lots of Money)

By Jack Beckman On June 6, 2012 · 2 Comments
THUNDERBOLT! What an exciting name – certainly peppier than “USB” and maybe even “FireWire.” But paying for Thinderbolt peripherals is starting to feel like being hit by a Thunderbolt. Take a look at a pair of Thunderbolt docks announced this week. The first, from Belkin, sounds pretty good – USB 3.0, FireWire, [...]

What Do You Do When Your iPad or iPhone Fills Up?

By Terry White On June 4, 2012 · Add Comment
iDevices, like computers hard drives have a fixed amount of space. The easy answer to the question of “What Do You Do When Your iPad or iPhone Fills Up?” is to simply off load some of your content (photos, videos, etc.) onto your computer. That’s all fine and good if you actually have a computer. [...]

Haitus ……….. She has been on Haitus.   But she’s back because it’s F R I D A Y!     I don’t have to remind you to be good.   Sure there are some that say I look like Santa Claus but really. I don’t know when you are sleeping, [...]

Need I Remind You?

By Chita Hunter On May 31, 2012 · Add Comment
    As more and more friends and colleagues get iDevices…   Direct communication has taken on varied methods: email, text, and still the occassional phone call. My favorite method of communication, with my iPhone and iPad, has become FaceTime. Love it! It’s like living the Jetsons cartoon, video chat in every household. [...]

New World Man

By Jack Beckman On May 30, 2012 · 2 Comments
I decided to take the plunge and sign up for the new Adobe Creative Cloud service. I’ve been trying to decide if I should upgrade and just get the CS 6 software, or if I should try the Creative Cloud. If, like me, you already have version of one of the Creative [...]

Technology for the Grade-School Ages

By Chita Hunter On May 24, 2012 · 2 Comments

The two-day [...]

Changes

By Jack Beckman On May 23, 2012 · Add Comment
Ok, I give up. I’ve finally decided to get on Skype, the the popular communication service. So why my change of heart?  Microsoft. I stayed off of Skype in the past, because in reading the End User License Agreement (EULA – and yes, some people do read them!) it was very clear when Skype first [...]

Audiobook Bargains

By Phyllis Evans On May 22, 2012 · Add Comment
I have admitted freely to being a book addict. I love my ebook readers and reader apps. I’m also hooked on audiobooks. While all of my iPods have at least a couple of audiobooks available, my iPod nanos feel perfect for audiobooks. I have them set so that a double tap on the main button [...]

Little Lies

By Jack Beckman On May 16, 2012 · Add Comment
It’s only a few weeks until Apple’s World Wide Developer Conference (WWDC), which means the rumor mongers are in high gear. We’ve got stories of Apple buying TV makers, a security company claiming Apple wants their help (and then backtracking), 7 inch iPads… The weird part is, once these stories get posted, they get reported [...]

Again with the iCloudy Weather?

By Phyllis Evans On May 15, 2012 · 6 Comments
Back in March I wrote about losing my iCloud email for 24 hours. The same problem has cropped up several more times since then, although none of the outages has been as lengthy. What is disturbing is the increasing frequency and Apple’s continued silence on the subject. Last Friday it was out for [...]

Mac OS X 10.7.4 Lion Update Ends My Frustration

By Terry White On May 14, 2012 · 1 Comment
Lion OS icon2
Although I’ve been on Lion now since 10.7.2 and have either found work arounds for the things that bothered me or I’ve adapted, there was still one annoying default that I couldn’t overcome. No matter what, if you restarted your Mac running Lion you would have to manually uncheck the box each time to NOT [...]

It’s Looking Good

By Jack Beckman On May 9, 2012 · Add Comment
Microsoft recently has some trouble with a patch (14.2.1) for Microsoft Office 2011. Many people had no issue, but some had problems with their identities not converting. Still others had a problem where you were asked for your product key after the upgrade. Of course, that’s not a problem – if you haven’t misplaced your [...]

Is it Time for iOS Devices to Have Their Own Sync App?

By Terry White On May 7, 2012 · Add Comment

I fired up iTunes the other day and realized that my iPad hadn’t backed up in almost a month. I wondered how could this be since I have WiFi sync enabled and I have both devices on the same WiFi network. Then it dawned upon me that I probably haven’t had both my computer awake [...]

What’s in a Name?

By Chita Hunter On May 3, 2012 · Add Comment
    Well, we take our names personally. Some of us more than others. I have really enjoyed Siri. I’ve asked Siri to do things for me like make a call for me while I was driving. This keeps my eyes on the road where they need [...]
