a MAC mind

Welcome to my new home for consulting Web site. In here I will have links to new exciting site.

Macintosh news. How to Videos.With the release of my new site.I will be starting a newsletter that will come out every other week at first. Anyone interested will be able to get the newsletter for free for the first 4 issues. From then on I will offer a yearly fee to keep them coming.

Podcasts will also be a priority. You can listen to these while your jogging, hanging, partying… well maybe not partying. But… they will offer short whats ups in the Macintosh world, as well as a slew of fun sites, and interesting tech news. You will be able to subscribe to these from the Web site and automatically download them through your itunes. From there you can listen to them on your computer or your ipod.

On a personal note… all of my personal ramblings and posts will be at a new Web site I am launching Personal Website

I hope you enjoy!!

Well its finally here. The first newsletter. You can download it and read it in APPLE PREVIEW or in ADOBE ACROBAT READER. Please send me comments. I can’t wait to here what you think about the NEWSLETTERa Mac Mind NEWSLETTER 1:1

If you’re like me you wait to put in entries to your Quicken because you are either not close to a computer or you have better things to worry about.Well the good people at Intuit have heard your plight and they are offering a new solution. Its called Quicken online . Its a new service to replace your desktop version of Quicken. Its PC and MAC compatible and it allows you to do all of your entries to a secure Quicken app online. It does automatic backups to their servers. But its biggest feature for people like us, is its made for the IPHONE. It allows you to use your iphone to do entries on the go. Imagine all that wasted time in lines at the amusement park, grocery store, Sephora line. You could be entering everything you just spent. Then right there on your iphone you can see how much you have left to spend. You can do all of the same reports, graphs, etc you do on the regular Quicken. The big plus, if they update the software it gets updated online automatically. Its $2.99 a month and is automatically charged to your credit card.

Apple just made a big update available to all you guys with LEOPARD installed… it brings back old functionality. As well as tweaking broken features from before you updated… We may be finally out of the world of VISTA TYPE bugs…. If you wanna read about it go here . Please be aware this just dropped… so it may be buggy… there are early reports that it duplicates your ICAL calendar. This effect isn’t confirmed yet, but always be aware that updates can fix as well as bring problems. To force your computer to do the update. Go to your Apple menu (black apple in upper left hand corner of your screen) and pick SOFTWARE UPDATE. This will launch the updater. I would suggest if you run the enormous download to back away from your computer for the entirety of the install. This will at least make sure you don’t experience any user created problems.Good luck!!Click comments if you have any thoughts about this
