This Is a Great App for Journaling or Maintaining a Digital Diary

Hello Everyone, I was just using MacJournal for IPhone, a great little iOS app, and thought I would remind those of you, who like to journal, that it is VoiceOver accessible. Just so you know, I have never used this tool in OS X so cannot speak to its VoiceOver accessibility on the Mac, itself.

Re: Sharing on Apple TV

An interesting idea but not quite what I was looking for. While I watched something on my ATV tonight, I loaded Ted and watched a talk. Then I looked for an option to share the talk. Must not be possible on the ATV. So signed into Ted on the computer and found the share and sent an email

Re: Sharing on Apple TV

Hi, I don't see why not. My father uses my Apple ID on his Apple TV so that he has access to stream all the content I have available in iCloud. He doesn't have access to purchase on the Apple TV, but has access to all my content. Other things like Netflix etc, as long as you use the same log

Hi David, I’ll admit, the screen that comes up when you initially open ReadKit is a bit confusing. It is asking you to add an account—any account, not necessarily Instapaper. You can fill in your Instapaper credentials, but there are also buttons in the dialog which allow you to select a differ

Sharing on Apple TV

Is it possible to share some of the content one plays on the ATV? What I mean by this is content that is viewed on an app such as Ted which has a share function. A friend and I are curious about this as we both watch documentaries. This would not be content one has to subscribe to. From E.T

Hi there, First, this is not true about fusion entirely. Yes, a lot of people were let go from the team as a part of the Dell EMC merger if memory serves. The product is still being developed and sold. It’s also very good and I use it heavily and find it totally accessible. So yes, I would

Hi, I cannot comment on VM-ware fusion per say as I don't use it myself. But, I have heard quite a number of people, both in this community, and the sighted community speak very highly of it. Regarding a Fusion drive vs a regular spinning drive, you will notice a considerable performance dif

iMac fusion Drive versus standard Drive

Hi everyone, On Thursday I will be receiving my new iMac. It is the 2.8 processor with a 2 TB fusion Drive and 16 gigs of RAM. In line with this new Mac, I want performance and speed over space, though I did choose a 2 TB drive because it is The best of both worlds. My concern is fusion. VMware

Simon, I've messed with a number of 2011 and 2012 MBP's and in most cases, I've just removed the optical drive and slid the spinning HD over into its slot, put the new SSD in where the spinning used to be, then, using Terminal, made them into a Fusion drive. As with the addition of any SSD, th

This is one area I have issues with apple. Especially in the pro line I wish they would support more than 16GB. As someone who likes to spin up a lot of VSRX instances, it would be nice to have lots of extra memory. Sure, I could get a Mac Pro and slap in a pile of cores and ram but I suspect
