How to stay safer online - adding an extra layer of protection

Yes, it's THAT topic again: Passwords! We all hate them - I hear this every day at iTandCoffee, week in, week out.

Unfortunately, passwords are an essential part of our online life. They are the locks on the doors protecting our private (and perhaps business) data, our finances, our identity and more.

How strong are the locks on the doors to your online world?

Get organised - how to sort out all those files and folders on the Mac

A messy desktop - just like on may people's Macs

How well are your files organised on your Mac? Not very? Not at all?

We know that so many Mac users struggle to understand filing on a computer, not knowing where and how to find or store their files. Of course, this can be such a great cause of stress and frustration.

Solving issue with using a TV or projector with your Mac

How to solve issues with displaying your Mac on a second screen

One of iTandCoffee's business clients (Corporate Driver Training Australia) runs driver training courses all around Australia. The presenters use Mac computers to run their Powerpoint presentations.

A second-hand Mac has been recently been purchased for one of the presenters - and this Mac now needs to be 'introduced' to the TV's and projectors at each training venue. This can sometimes prove tricky for the uninitiated - with the screen not showing the same content as the Mac, or not showing the Powerpoint presentation properly.

There are some key things to look at if your Mac's screen does not just magically appear on the second screen.

What a wonderful feature for those with vision impairment or reading difficulties

I always find that there is a 'theme of the week' for client appointments, and this week's has related to vision impairment and dictation using the iPad, iPhone and Mac.

The iPad and iPhone (and Mac) have some amazing features for those with difficulty viewing and reading the content of the screen, and there is one in particular that will be of particular benefit to the clients I saw this week.

It is the Speak Screen feature, where you can request that the content of the screen currently in view is read to you.

A great smartphone feature for anyone who lives in a mobile 'black spot'

Several years ago, Apple added a feature to iPhones called Wi-Fi calling - on the iPhone 5c and later.

While this service has been offered by Telcos overseas for years, Australian Telcos have only started providing this feature during the last year - so the feature is relatively new to users in Australia.

The Wi-Fi calling feature allows your iPhone to make and receive phone calls using Wi-Fi when you have limited or no mobile signal. This is great for the many people I know who have poor mobile signal in their own home - even here in the inner 'burbs of Melbourne.
