(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
With March in the rear view mirror, it's time to further breakdown the App of the week posts. So here we go. Another month gone by, and another handful of great apps for you to check out and start using.
The first March App of the week is one of my new favorites, its called simply, Documents 5 (by Readdle).
One of the features that I love about Documents 5 is that it's one of the best apps at combining your files from some of the top cloud services. If you...
How to find your lost iPhone.
How to find your lost iPhone.
(This story is told through the eyes and words of an iPhone)
The memories are foggy as to how my owner lost me, but that's not really what's important here. What is important is that she found me, thanks to a really knowledgeable and awesome dude (The MacMentor), and a really smart mom (who kept her Apple ID and Password safe).
So here's what I remember...I was having a blast with my owner, down at the beach. She was living it up, tanning and having fun with her friends, it was a great day! A few hours go by, the sun started to set, and the...
Cloud Storage options.

Cloud Storage. Your options have changed...Again...
Happy Sunday! When I originally created this blog about a year ago, the cloud scene storage scene was similar, yet very different. Since then most, if not all the cloud service providers have upped the ante and now offer more free storage and better options. CX.com, for some reason, has gotten rid of there free option. Box.com and Google have greatly enhanced their cloud options, so with all the change occurring I thought it would be a good idea to update the blog, yet again with the...
Great Apps for your iPhone and iPad
Happy February! Those of you that have "Liked" The MacMentor on Facebook have had the benefit of viewing my App and Device of the Week posts that I started this past January. The goal of the weekly postings is to make you all more aware of the great tools available to you for your iPhones and iPads.
The first App of the week, is one that I recently started using. It's called Scanner Pro.
If you were able to view my posting in early January, and you went to download ScannerPro, it was the AppStore's App of the Week, first week of January, and it was FREE! If you missed...
A review of the new iPhone 5S and iOS 7 Touch ID.
In case you missed it, Apple has released a new iPhone, the 5S! The new iPhone 5S doesn't have a new form factor, it can't beam you to other locations, and it can't drive your car (yet!). The new features it added, though perhaps not mind blowing, or for that matter, even visible to the eye, have helped position the 5S to what I would call, a very "forward thinking" smartphone. It's priced the same as the iPhone 5 that it has replaced, and sets itself apart from other smartphone(s) with its advanced new 64-bit processor architecture (all other smartphones have 32-bit processors)...

Getting the most out of Photo Stream for your Apple devices
Today's blog will cover the Photo Stream part of iCloud. Photo Stream was introduced in October of 2011, along with iCloud, iOS 5 and a new version of iPhoto (for those people running OSX 10.7, at the time). Photo Stream was not the first photo sharing software to hit the market (There’s Flickr, Shutterfly, SnapFish, Photobucket and Picasa to name a few), but it was Apple first foray into online pictures. Apple’s take on photo sharing was initially, as you might expect, closed to non-Apple users. Here’s how it worked. You’d snap photos with your iOS device...
Hey Siri! Handsfree Siri coming to iOS 8.
It only took a few years, but Apple is giving iPhone and iPad users a great new (old) tool in iOS 8, handsfree Siri! There is a catch, your device needs to be plugged in, in order for Handsfree to work. First, turn it on. Go into Settings > General > Siri:
Turn the Voice Activation switch to On (or green), and your ready to go! This is awesome for those of us who haven't learned that we shouldn't hold our phones (or use them!) while driving. As long as your iPhone is charging, simply say "Hey Siri" and Siri is ready for your request. I've...
iMessage updates in iOS 8.
iMessage in iOS 8, a better way to message.
Apple’s Messages app has been solid, but it is well overdue for the update it's about to get, and it should make it more competitive with the other popular texting apps like Snapchat and WhatsApp. There are many great new features coming in the new Messenger, you’ll be able to create voice and video snippets to post along with your text and photos. You'll also be able to share your location for a set period, for instance an hour, through the end of the day, or indefinitely. And, with a tap, you can view all the attachments in a conversation—all...
Why you should go with the new iPad Mini...
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
About a year ago, I wrote a blog on the pros and cons of the iPad Mini. My biggest complaint at the time was the fact that the Mini's Specs were not on par with the full size iPad. Well throw all that out the door! I just went and played with the new Full size iPad Air, and it's nothing short of amazing, in fact if it had the fingerprint scanner that's on the iPhone 5S, I would call it simply "Amazing". Why am I bringing up the iPad Air here, because, quite frankly, there's no need to go that route any longer...Apple...
