July 21, 2017Mac Tipsquick tipsKelsey Jezbera

Apple is increasingly encouraging us all to turn on two-factor authentication for our Apple IDs because it adds an extra layer of security on top of the password. With two-factor authentication, when you log in to iCloud or iTunes for the first time on a new device, it prompts you for both your password and…

The Three Secrets of Backup Masters

June 30, 2017Mac Tipsbackup, macOSKelsey Jezbera

“To go forward, you must back up.” Sure, it was an advertising tagline for backup software from the 1990s, but it’s still true.

June 23, 2017iOS Tips, Mac Tipsios, macOS, remindersKelsey Jezbera

Apple designed the built-in Reminders app as a list-keeping assistant for both macOS and iOS.

June 15, 2017Mac Tipsmac, macOSKelsey Jezbera

What’s your desktop Mac doing when you’re not using it? Depending on your settings and usage habits, you could be wasting both power and your own time.

Eliminate Mac Desktop Clutter by Sorting

June 13, 2017Mac TipsKelsey Jezbera

Is your Mac’s Desktop a cluttered mess? That’s not a criticism—it happens to all of us. A few files here, a folder or two there, and before long you can’t find anything amid all the icons. There’s a solution, of course, which is that the Finder lets you sort the icons on your Desktop just…

How to Unlock Your Mac with a Wave of Your Hand (well, Apple Watch)

June 12, 2017Mac Tipsmac, macOSKelsey Jezbera

It’s magic. You walk up to your Mac, touch a key to wake it up, and upon noticing that you’re wearing your Apple Watch, it unlocks without making you enter a password. Brilliant! For some of us, it’s almost a reason alone to get an Apple Watch. Auto Unlock, as Apple calls this feature, lets…

Don’t Get Burned by Bad Cables… Literally!

June 2, 2017iOS Tips, Mac Tipsios, macOSKelsey Jezbera

It can be hard to ante up for a quality Lightning or USB-C cable when just a little searching reveals cables that cost only a couple of bucks each. “Surely,” you might think, “the cheap cables might not be as good, but so what if they wear out sooner?” Points for frugality, but this is…

Trash Files Instantly from the Keyboard

June 1, 2017Mac TipsmacOSKelsey Jezbera

Every Mac user knows that you drag files or folders you want to delete to the Trash icon in the Dock. And you probably even know that you can select multiple items by Shift-clicking (for a sequential range of items in a list view) or Command-clicking (for an arbitrary set of items) and then drag…

9 Tricks that Make It Easier to Save Files on the Mac

May 15, 2017Mac TipsmacOSKelsey Jezbera

There’s nothing sexy about the Save dialog in Mac apps. It’s not pretty, you can’t tweet from it, and Apple hasn’t changed anything about it in years. But every time you create a new document in a Mac app, you have to save it. Once in the Save dialog, you name your document, pick a…
