Future Proofing how my buiness uses our Macs

2013 Mac Pro Still kicks ass!
I love this Mac Pro. I wish this one belonged to me but it belongs to one of my clients. She brought it in for a tune-up and a few software issues. (My specialty is software issues). While I had it and she was away for two weeks I had a chance to play with…

Is there anyone in Lithgow who can help with Apple ID?
So before we start let’s just say that I can not get your Apple ID back. While this is frustrating (Trust me I used to work at apple and would get this same call 30 times a day) I can tell you there is a good thing that nobody can hack your Apple ID. Apple…

What do I use my iPhone for? EVERYTHING
After I left Apple to run a tech support centre for a Point of sale system here in Sydney, I decided that I was going to see what was going on with Android Phones. So when the next upgrade opportunity came up I chose to get a Samsung S5 and I loved that phone. In…
