iPad is almost everything you need. It is a music player, an ebook reader, a smart browsing tool, a news reader and everything else, except that it is NOT a true blue computer and it won’t ever perform like one. You can’t even view the file structure in your iPad, let along viewing and accessing files from the network. Luckily, File Browser changed the game. Let us show you how.

How to Speed Up Your Mac For Free!
By | February 7, 2011 |
We all know the feeling of a new computer… everything is super quick, and there are no bugs or problems to be found. Even if you have a Mac though, which are by reputation more durable than a PC’s (if only for their relative sparse nature on the internet), you often still find that a year later, that feeling is usually gone, only to be replaced by an entirely different one. This one is often frustration and confusion. How and why did this premium computer I bought get so slow, and how do I fix it? Plenty of services will do it for you for $50 or more, but why pay someone else to do things you can easily do yourself?

How to Create Slideshows On The iPad
By | January 31, 2011 |
One of the best parts about the iPad is its ability to share. From funny videos to photos, picking up an iPad and sharing things with friends and family is a great experience. With photos specifically, you can show someone an album of photos from a recent trip or event and let them flick through at their own pace; but sometimes you have a group of people who want to look, or want to show people the photos in a specific way. This is where slideshows from the iPad’s Photos app can come in. To make things even better, the iPad makes things very easy, as well as relatively feature rich, for what you’re probably looking to do. Read on for the step by step process on how it works, as well as an overview of some of the features you can take advantage of.

By | January 24, 2011 |
I often use my Android phone and dock as an alarm clock on my nightstand, and I know that upon getting the iPad, I thought it could make a very cool one as well. The iPad though, coming with iOS, doesn’t have a built in alarm clock app like Android phones do. With all that screen real estate though, I’ve always wanted something that could serve the same purpose for me. Now, I’ve found it with an app called Nightstand Central for iPad. Nightstand Central does just what it sounds like, and does it well. From clock to weather to dark undertones, Nightstand Central gives you the info you want when you fall asleep or wake up in a beautiful and convenient way.

How To Create and Edit Playlists Straight from your iPad
By | January 10, 2011 |
The iPad is an incredibly capable device, and as Apple advances all its mobile devices, they gain more and more capabilities in common with their OS X desktop brethren.

By | January 3, 2011 |
One of iTunes’ greatest features is its ability to quickly and easily track down duplicates hiding in your library.

How to Use FaceTime For Mac to Chat with Friends & Family
By | December 20, 2010 |
For years Mac users have been using Mac OS X’s integrated chat software iChat to video chat with friends and family that have Macs as well, or Skype to video chat across platforms. Now, with Apple’s FaceTime for Mac, you can video chat from your Mac with friends or family members like never before… while they’re on the move! Apple first introduced FaceTime as a way for people with iPhone’s and iPod Touches to video chat with each other from anywhere they had a WiFi connection. Now though, Apple has introduced FaceTime for Mac, allowing for the first time for us to video chat from Mac to iPhone or iPod and back. So how is the software, and how do we use it? You won’t be surprised to learn that, like most things Apple, it is not too difficult, but may also be surprised at how cumbersome this beta software can be. Don’t worry though, because I’m going to walk you through it, step by step!
