Essentially, Managed-Services means that we will be on top of, and[…]
Is an TV another TV? I’ve already got a TV… Thankfully, NO. The TV is not a TV with an Apple logo on it. It’s a small black box that connects to your TV, and unlocks some very nice features for you to incorporate into your daily life. If you have a TV that has[…]
**Spoiler alert** YES IT IS! It’s 2017. If you haven’t heard of an SSD, then you’re in luck, I will tell you all about it. If you have heard, but kinda don’t have a cooking clue what all the fuss is about, then you’re also in luck…i’ll tell you what they do and how they[…]
How many times have I received a call from a total stranger, telling me they’ve lost a folder, or their whole machine, but they don’t have any backups, so can I help? Me: “Not unless you want your data back.” Time Machine is Mac’s built-in, automated, backup feature. Let’s break that down: “Built-in” Located in the System[…]
Ah MacKeeper. You keep me in business all year around First things first, DO NOT INSTALL MACKEEPER! Why? MacKeeper masquerades as an antivirus/anti-spyware/anti-adware/“make your Mac super bad-ass fast” app. But, as you can imagine, it does an entire total of 0 of the above. It is a virus? No. Does it add any value to[…]
This morning, the well-reputed Mac Security Blog, The Safe Mac, released the successor to their older Adware Removal Tool and the System Reporter script, named AdMedic. The older tools did a great job, but ran as scripts, and required full app re-downloads to update the adware signature database. This was one of the driving forces behind[…]
15 years ago, you rarely took a 2nd photo of something, since it cost you money to develop them afterwards, and a pretty penny at that. But now…a slightly different problems exist. We are all too happy to just start snapping and keep at at, without fear of creating doubles, triples or even more. While[…]
I don’t know about you, but easily one of the most regular things that I utter to my wife is: “Honey, have you seen my phone anywhere?” Until now, that is. Now I utter, to the room: “Marco!” One of the funniest ways, yet most effective, to find your iDevice when you misplace it (without[…]
Undercover was easily one of the best pieces of software that I have had the privilege of reviewing for 2014! Like any good Apple user, you probably have Find my Mac (Find my iPhone, you know what I mean) enabled, and hope to heck that you will never need to use it. Touch wood though,[…]
After a successful migration of a user from Microsoft Outlook 2011 (*spit*) to Mail for Mac, the user started experiencing this error on a one particular calendar event. “Calendar can’t save the event “event name” to the Exchange Server” After some research, it turns out that the Calendar cache that is created by the Exchange[…]
We all have those little folders on our Macs… The ones that are usually tucked away, a few folder levels down from the Desktop. Those folders that are fine and dandy for your eyes and fingers, but not quite for anyone else’s. And remember, you can use the age-old “hide it in plain sight” technique,[…]
Whether you are trying to drown out some particularly distracting sounds from the local Internet Cafe, focusing your mind on the way to a big presentation, or even trying to calm your thoughts for a good night’s sleep, Noisli is just the app for you. I have been using Noisli for a few weeks now,[…]
It’s something that I have been made aware of before, but like most less-exciting things in life, I chose to just ignore it. “Are you on your iPhone again!?” Enter the clever little app called Moment. Moment comes from developer Kevin Holesh, who actually wrote the app for himself, who suffers from the same problem[…]
Most of us have been there. We whip out the credit card on the Sunday evening bread and milk run, only to find that the card has expired…and now you have to use cash. Or even worse, you get pulled over in a routine traffic check point, to be told that your driver’s licence expired[…]
If you are reading this, then there is a pretty good chance that you like to tinker with your Mac, and believe in the motto “Work smart, not hard!” And if this is true, then Clockwise is just the app to help you do it! The app is very easy to get started with, and is[…]
We’ve all been there… Working on your iPhone or iPad, you come across a website address, phone number, image or a particularly foreign name or surname, and you need to copy and paste it to your Mac, or other device. Between sending text messages, emails and note syncing with iCloud with myself, I came across[…]
If you’re an avid user of your iPhone and iPad mail app, and who isn’t, then you know the frustration; 1 email means 1 attachment! Sending 3 mails for 3 attachment is not an option. So what can you use as an alternative? Multiple Attachments attachments from developer Jan Mazurczak is an excellent choice! From any[…]
You may already know about one of my newest projects, Mac Tech SA. Mac Tech SA is funded purely through the community as well as through sponsorships. We are extremely fortunate to welcome onboard a new member to the Mac Tech SA Family, namely, Wireless Wipes. I had never used Wireless Wipes, or any sanitising wipe[…]
