Ever since Apple famously dropped Google Maps and instead used their own Maps app, they’ve come under a lot of fire for discrepancies in the data – such as incorrect landmarks (street names, places, etc) and missing or incorrectly rendered data – for example famous buildings and bridges that look completely mangled up in 3D […]
With every new release of OS X comes a new and improved version of Safari. It’s already one of the best and fastest browsers available today, and Safari 7 brings a host of new features such as plug-in management, a new Top Sites, and some under-the-hood performance improvements that make your browsing experience that much […]
Ever since Apple released Mountain Lion, it’s been possible to use voice dictation in any application where you would normally use the keyboard to enter text. When using the Dictation, your speech is sent to Apple’s servers for analysis – much in the same way that Siri works on the iPhone and iPad. This is […]
There are some notable new features in the latest version of Mac OS X – for example a new version of Safari, iCloud Keychain, and a whole host of memory, performance and power improvements (such as App Nap and Compressed Memory). However, the feature that you’re most likely to use every day and get the most […]
Mac OS X Mavericks still has many of the same applications already used in Mountain Lion. Some have had major overhauls, whereas others have just had minor tweaks in functionality or appearance. One of the most useful applications built into Mac OS X is Activity Monitor, as it shows how your Mac is performing and […]
Most of us have unfortunately at one time or another experienced poor mobile reception on the iPhone – inevitably just when you need it most. But why can your iPhone’s signal be weak in the first place? Besides the very well publicised “Antennaegate” débacle there are many reasons, but it’s commonly due to factors outside of […]
The Apple TV is a great little device on which to watch movies, listen to music, view your photo collection and share content that you have on your Mac, as well as being a second screen for all your iOS devices (and Mac) – all at the touch of a button using AirPlay. Apple’s “hobby” […]
While preparing a new post for chriswrites I had to rename around 50 files before uploading them to my ftp server, so instead of doing it manually or using a paid software ( I can recommend File Renamer for Mac if this is the route you decide to go) I decided to give Automator a try. […]
iCloud is great: it can remember your place across devices, download purchases, create back-ups and more. The problem is that with all this functionality, the 5gb of free space provided for all users can quickly disappear, leaving you with the option of shelling out – or reducing usage. Here’s some tips on how to do […]
Transferring your iOS developer account to your new mac can often be a pain. If you have all the certificates and profiles on your mac, it will be a lot easier as Xcode has built-in features. If you don’t then there is a few extra steps but after reading this it should be pretty simple […]
The Apple TV/iPhoto screensaver is always a crowd pleaser at my house when we have guests. I’d like to say it’s because of my incredible photographic skills, but it’s more likely just the fun of viewing 10+ years in snapshots. My Apple TV serves as my home entertainment system so whenever music is playing, so […]
Since the introduction of AirPlay Mirroring – included in the latest version of OSX Mountain Lion (10.8) – streaming .avi formatted video files to Apple TV (2nd generation or better), is now a built-in feature (provided your Mac was manufactured in mid-2011 or later). But what if your Mac is older, or running a pre-Mountain Lion OS? […]
