Did you know that it is possible for someone to by-pass your Mac's password?

Picture
Many Mac users think that, by having a password protecting their access to their Mac, they are making their Mac's contents inaccessible to those who should not have access - for example, if the Mac is stolen.

The truth is that, for the majority of Macs, the password will not prevent such access.​ Your Mac is still vulnerable to unauthorised access if it falls into evil hands.

A great Contacts app for my iPhone that allows easy deletion and grouping of Contacts

Picture
I am regularly asked if there is an easy way to clean up Contacts on an iPhone or iPad. Unfortunately, the built-in Contacts app requires multiple steps to delete a Contact. Wouldn't it be great if you could just swipe to delete?

I am very excited to have found a brand new app today that can do this and more. In my first day of using this app, I discovered the following features:
  • easy deletion of Contacts with a simple swipe 
  • create and manage Groups of contacts - something completely lacking in the Contacts app.
  • a 'birthdays' option that shows the upcoming birthdays (very handy)
  • it is incredibly easy to quickly create a new Contact
  • emailing, messaging or calling a Contact is quick and easy from the App
  • allows me to choose which email account should hold the Contact (for example, I store my business Contacts in Gmail and my personal contacts in iCloud, and this app allows me to choose) - another capability completely missing from the standard app.
  • and more!

Apple has just added a new feature to Screen time

Picture
As many of you will already know, the Screen Time feature introduced with iOS 12 in September 2019 provides some great parental controls for controlling and monitoring a child's use of their iPad and iPhone.

We recently included an article about how App Limits (time limits that you set to restrict how long a child can spend each day on certain apps or categories of apps) can be customised by day of week.
  • How to set different time limits on your child's i-Device based on day of week

With the arrival of iOS 12.2 on March 26, Apple has also added this 'customise by day of week' feature to the Downtime aspect of Screen Time.

Just one of the reasons I use OneDrive instead of iCloud Drive

Picture
Just this week, I spent time assisting a client who had lost an important Word document that she had spend over 5 hours updating.

She thought that she must have somehow overwritten it with a previous version, wiping all the hard work she had done.

Most of us know that awful, sick feeling that you get when this happens. The thought of re-doing hours of work can just about bring you undone!

I was hopeful that, because she was using Word, that she may have had a OneDrive account, and may have been saving her document to OneDrive (as she wasn't completely sure where the document was saved). 

If she had been using OneDrive, the previous revisions of the document would be readily available and she would be able to easily restore an earlier version that had all her changes.

A calendar app for the iPad, iPhone and Mac that includes Reminders/Tasks AND allows searches of past events

Picture
I am a HUGE fan of Reminders and Calendar on the iPad and iPhone. I rely on my Reminders and Calendar notifications day in and day out to keep my work and personal life running as smoothly as possible.

But wouldn't it be great if your Calendar app could also show your Reminders so that you could see your tasks and events for the day in one place.  And wouldn't it be great if you could create EITHER calendar events or reminders from the same app.

And wouldn't it be great if you could type (or say) a plain English description of an event or reminder and have it pop into the calendar magically?

How to stop your iPhone constantly popping up a message about joining a nearby network

Picture
We have had a bit of a Wi-Fi theme in articles over the the past few weeks.  Here's another that we hope you find useful.

This week, a client asked me how to stop her iPhone constantly popping up and asking if she wants to join nearby networks.  This can get really annoying, and there is an easy way to stop it.

How to stop your iPhone and iPad from joining the wrong Wi-Fi network

Picture
In a separate article (How to stop your Mac from joining the wrong Wi-Fi network), we looked at how to control which Wi-Fi networks your Mac can automatically join, and which takes priority.

So, how can you do the same on your iPhone & iPad - especially if it keeps joining the wrong network.

On our iOS devices, we do not have an option to see a list of ALL the Wi-Fi networks you have joined.

However, when you are in the vicinity of Wi-Fi devices that you have previously used, you do get the option to tell your iOS device to 'forget' that network or to tell your device that you do or don't want to 'auto-join' that network.
