A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Episode 152. – I’ve had Pages on my iPad (and iPhone) since Apple released it and I use it on occasion for limited things. As we transition more and more into Tim Cook’s “post-PC” era I see myself doing more and more things on my iPad, but so far I think I’ve not taken full advantage of iWork on the iPad. A big reason why is that I haven’t taken the time to fully understand the tools within the new touch interface paradigm. With this episode I hope to remedy that a bit.

A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Episode 148. I had a frustrating issue this past week. I was updating a bunch of apps on my iPhone and they became stuck. Luckily I was able to hack my way through it after a couple of days, but it shouldn’t be that involved. These devices are supposed to be simple, right? The process made me realize that I know a lot about how to troubleshoot Mac issues, but when it comes to iOS I’d really like to know how to do more without resorting to the “restore” option. So here is an in depth look at iOS troubleshooting.
