TH Copy Tutorial: Ten Ways To Reclaim Space on Your Mac Hard Drive

With the advent of flash storage many of us have sacrificed storage capacity for speed, battery life and a low-profile form factor. The fact is that despite a significant drop in cost, a flash drive of comparable capacity to a magnetic drive is still incredibly expensive. For example, a new iMac with 1TB of flash storage costs $1,000 more than one with a traditional magnetic hard drive. As a…

Deceptive Adobe Flash Upgrade Alerts Lead to Malware Installation

This week alone I’ve had to remove malware from at least seven Macs – all of which could’ve been prevented had people followed one simple rule: if a website you visit instructs you to update your Adobe Flash Player – don’t do it.

While I strongly advocate updating software whenever possible for the optimal user experience, these alerts to update Flash are what can best be called, using the…

Recently, I threw a party for my husband’s BIG birthday. We had a large crowd so we hosted it at our local Italian restaurant which meant I got to focus all of my attention on creating the look for the 3 tables.

Luckily, the restaurant’s small private dining room has light yellow walls and white tablecloths. Having a neutral palette to work from…

Why Your Business Website Needs An Instagram Page

Instagram is great, we all know that. People spend hours on it every day, and it’s a fantastic way to extend your brand beyond your website. What’s not so great about Instagram is the lack of embeddable links in posts. While you can do that whole “Link in profile” trick, you’ll have to change that link with each new linkable photo – and then what happens your last post where you reference “Link…

https://vimeo.com/162638898

Tired of your Mac always connecting to the wrong WiFi network? Does your Mac connect to the neighborhood WiFi network before it connects to your home network? Is the downstairs Starbucks’ WiFi connecting all the time instead of your office WiFi? If you’re facing these or similar issues, fortunately there’s a very easy fix: setting your Mac’s WiFi priority order.

Keeping Your WordPress Website Safe

It seems that everybody I talk to these days has a website, or is about to start up a website. I think it’s great that there are so many creative people out there with so much to share, say or sell, but what isn’t so great is how unprotectedmany of those sites are. In the past two months we’ve had five new clients whose WordPress sites were hacked, corrupted or otherwise compromised. In each…

AT&T Enables WiFi Calling on iOS 9

[fusion_text]This past Friday, after a lengthy regulatory struggle, AT&T finally enabled the long anticipated WiFi calling over iOS 9. Although Apple first added the functionality back in 2014 with the release of iOS 8 and the iPhone 6, it isn’t until now that AT&T activated the service for their customers.

If you have no clue what WiFi calling is, and why it’s so vital, here’s the deal: if…

Account Security Alert: Apple Phishing Continues

Every time I get a call from an agitated client about one of these emails, my advice is always the same: just delete it and get on with your life.

Why?

Because it’s not really from Apple, you weren’t hacked, your iTunes/iCloud/Apple ID account isn’t in danger of being deleted, and by deleting the phony email you’re protected from accidentally giving the scammers any of the information they’re…
