Do I need to backup if I...
We're often asked by people if they still need to backup because they have their files on a USB stick, external hard drive and other scenarios. The answer is always yes and in this tip, we'll run through some of the more common reasons people think they don't need backups and why they still do.
How can I edit my photos?
If you enjoy taking photos and storing them on your computer or mobile device, you have access to a lot of free software that can help you enhance, resize and otherwise edit your photos. Basic software for doing this is built into Windows, macOS and iOS and we'll show you how to get started with it here.
Secure your Apple account
If you have an Apple ID or an iCloud account, it's a great idea to switch on Two Step Verification to make sure your account is extra secure. Two Step Verification adds an extra layer to logging into your account, as well as your ID and password, you then need the extra code that comes out to your devices. Without this code, no one can access your account.
Creating a backup in the cloud
If you follow us on Facebook, Twitter or are a regular reader of Tekee Tim's Tips, you'll know that we're a big believer in having as many backups as possible in order to ensure that you never lose any of your data.
Find your WiFi password on iOS 16
One of the handy new features in iOS 16 for iPhone (and coming soon for iPad) is the ability to see the WiFi password of the network you're connected to. This can be very handy if you need to share the password with other people trying to get online.
In this tip, we'll show you how to see your WiFi password directly on your iPhone.
Syncing your Office documents across your devices
If you use Microsoft Office (Word, Excel & PowerPoint) then you can use OneDrive to keep your documents in sync between your devices and allow you to work wherever you are. If you have an Office365 subscription then you already have 1TB of OneDrive space or you can sign up for a free account and get 5GB of space.
Creating a playlist in Apple Music on macOS
Apple replaced iTunes in macOS Catalina with the new Apple Music app. A lot of the functions for music are the same but creating playlists and adding songs is slightly different so we thought it was time to revisit how to make a playlist of your favourite music.
How do I use Apple Music?
With Apple Music's increasing popularity, Tekee Tim thought it would be a good time to show you how to get the best from it.
Sharing a folder via iCloud
Included in the latest update for macOS, iOS and iPadOS is the ability to share folders via iCloud to other iCloud users. Ideal for sharing files between different Apple users without having to sign up for a new service like Dropbox or OneDrive.
In this tip, we'll show you how to use this new feature.
How can I share files between a PC and a Mac?
If you have both a Mac and Windows you will often want to share files between them, unfortunately Windows can't read a Mac formatted disk at all and the Mac can't save files to a Windows formatted disk. Fortunately there is a way to format a disk so you can use it on both systems just the same.
Working with Notes on iOS
The built in Notes app on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch can be a very powerful tool, it's also very easy to use so we thought we'd run through some of the more advanced things that Notes can do.
