Importing photos from an Android device to a Mac

Picture
If you have an Android phone and a Mac, you will need an App if you want to transfer those photos to your Mac. (Note. If you use Google Photos, you can download your photos from there as another option. We'll just cover transferring using the app in this article.)

Here are the details of the app and the steps involved in transferring photos from your Android device to your Mac.

My Android phone won't scan QR codes using Camera, so how do I check in

Picture
A client who visited iTandCoffee this week was having trouble checking in using her new Samsung phone. She had tried using the phone's Camera app, but it was not recognising the QR code. She was having this trouble wherever she went.

What other option does she have to easily scan QR codes using her Samsung (Android) phone?

Good news for parents whose children use Android devices

Picture
When we run our 'Keeping kids safe on the iPad and iPhone' information sessions in local schools - where we look at how to set up parental controls on iPhones, iPads and iPod Touches - we are often asked whether similar parental controls can be set up on Android devices.

For those parents whose children have Android devices, here is an interesting article that appeared online in the past week or so - about a  Google app that allows parents to control what kids can do and see on their Android device/s, and to even limit the time they spend on these screens.
  • Google opens up 'Family Link' parental controls for Android

The article does mention that the app is available in the US - but I am assuming it is also available in Australia.  

If you are an Android user interested in this app, let me know in the comments below if you are able to install and use it!

Setting up Parental Controls on an Android device

Picture
At a recent Keeping Kids Safe on the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch information session run for parents at a local school, one of the parents asked if parental controls can be set up on an Android device.

For those of you with such devices (or with kids using these devices), here are some articles that discuss how to set up parental controls on these devices.
​
  • Get control of what your kids can see on their Android tablet or smartphone
  • Set up parental controls on Google Play - Google Play Help

Are you FireReady?  Use this iPhone App to stay informed of fires in your area.

Picture
When spending time up in North-East Victoria this week as big winds hit on a very hot day, we noticed smoke in the direction that we were heading.

So, I went straight to the FireReady App on my iPhone to check what fires were in the region. 

The FireReady App is a must-have app for everyone, regardless of where you live - especially on a day like today in Melbourne, where we have high winds and an expected top of 41°.

You can set up 'Watch Zones' for particular areas, and receive updates (via a notification on your mobile device) of any fire activity in the area, choosing which types of events you wish to be notified of (i.e. bushfires, house fires, hazardous materials, planned burns).

Get the iPhone/iPad version of the App here.
Get the Android version of the App here.
