Apple Insights

Have you ever wished your Mac could read today's news article out loud to you?  Perhaps a blog entry or the report you were working on last night?  It can! And in many different voices. Find out how in today's Apple iNSIGHT.

The world of podcasts is a rich and dynamic world full of free content.  Using the Apple Podcasts app you can download, listen to and manage all of your podcasts across your Apple devices.  One of my favorites:  Dragnet the original radio show.

Today’s iNSIGHT looks at how to remove a wireless network from your iPhone that doesn’t work or requires money for a connection to the internet.  This is an issue that clients often email me about.  They don’t realize that their phone has automatically connected to a network that doesn’t work.  They can’t do anything on the internet and they don't know why (since their phone has the wifi symbol).  Once they decide they don't want to be on that free network, they don’t know how to get off of it. It's a very common problem. After today’s iNSIGHT it won't be a problem for you.

In today's iNSIGHT we look at how to mirror your Apple device to your Apple TV.  When you turn this feature on, what is seen on the screen of your device is seen on the tv.  Websites, videos, apps, books and anything else that you can enjoy on your iPhone (as an example) can be mirrored to your Apple TV.  Wirelessly.

Today's iNSIGHT focuses on the power of Siri + the Clock app to alert you throughout your regimented day.

Following last week's iNSIGHT on streaming to the Apple TV this week we cover the basics.  You can buy or rent movies and TV shows, watch Netflix and HULU as well as have access to the entire Youtube and Vimeo universe.  Today's iNSIGHT is longer than normal, but if you have an Apple TV or are thinking of buying one, it's a must see.

The Apple TV is the dark horse of the Apple product line and for the money it finishes strong.  At only $99 it's a joy to use on it's own but it's even more fun to use when you have an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch.  Today we look at how you (or your friends/family) can stream any music, photos or movies from your device to your TV.  No setup.  Instantly.  Magically.  Your friends and family will be amazed.

Maybe you're on vacation.  You're shooting video on your iPad or iPhone.  You have a few hours to kill by the pool so you edit your footage into a beautiful video and then share it with family and friends back home.  Whether you're on vacation or not, iMovie for iPad/iPhone is easy to use and a lot of phone.

You're on the go, someone calls you but you can't answer. With a quick push of a button your iphone can send a message telling them that. Or you can have your iPhone remind you to call them back once you leave your current location or when you get home. It uses GPS to do this but all you have to do is push a quick button or two. This iNSIGHT is simple but very useful. I use it multiple times a day.

Design a card with your own photos, have apple print them and then mail them to your family/friends/business partners all from your iPhone.  This iNSIGHT brings fun as well as power.

Have you ever gone to sleep only to have someone's phone call wake you up?  Do Not Disturb is a simple but handy feature on your iPhone that keeps phone calls, messages and notifications from going off while you sleep.  You also have the ability to allow only Favorites to call during Do Not Disturb hours.  Watch as we look at all of the features and settings of Do Not Disturb.  Happy sleeping!

I am often surprised to find out how many people have never experienced magazines on an iPad.  They are beautiful, interactive and full of content that paper can not bring.  In this iNSIGHT we look at how to purchase or subscribe to a magazine as well as look at how rich the experience is.

Picture Frame is a feature that turns your iPad into a picture frame.  People spend hundreds of dollars on a digital picture frame.  You already own one if you own an iPad.  It's a great way to display your photos!

Bluetooth Streaming -  Your iPhone can stream to many devices: wireless speakers, wireless headphones, your car, ets.
