A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Episode 106. I’ve covered Automator on other shows, but realized I’ve never covered why you might want to use Automator. This time around I discuss exactly that and give some real world examples and concepts to help illustrate this powerful tool that’s built into every Mac.

A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. A special episode of the Maccast where we catch up with Ara Dererian of the HDTV Podcast. It’s been a while since we chatted with Ara and his Mac Mini based Mac Home Theater set up has evolved. Now the system is Apple TV 2 based on the client side, so we’ll get an update on that and discuss how he makes all this stuff work.

A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Show 375. In this end of November edition of the Maccast I decided to take a break from the hectic pre-holiday schedule and just hang out with fellow Mac Geek David Sparks (Mac Power Users). David and I sat down and talked about iCloud, specifically Documents in the Cloud, iTunes Music Match, and some of our favorite Apple accessories along with some of the current news highlights of the week. It was a lot of fun and I hope you enjoy it.
