Magic Trackpad
I finally got a Magic Trackpad. I have wanted one for a while. It is totally cool. The unboxing (see next page) was pretty uneventful really. Nice and neat, just like you would expect from Apple.

Emptying the Trash
Have you ever had problems emptying the trash? I sure have. You get a cryptic error message or it just says something is still in use. It can be very annoying to say the least. Here is the first thing to try when the Trash will not empty.

Apple Generations
One of the cool things about having a lot of really neat Apple technology in my home is my grandkids get to use it. It doesn’t take too much use for them to really fall in love with it. Case in point, the Magic Trackpad.

I worked on a 2010 MacBook Pro 13″ machine recently. This person got that computer about 3 months ago, It had a newly installed OS, applications and such. But now? What a mess!

Apple TV 5.0.1
Apple released an update to the iTV yesterday. It takes a little time to update, but it could pay some dividends. I was having trouble running AirPlay from some apps on my iPhone, but now it works. Not perfectly, but better at least. If you have an Apple TV it is a no brainer.

Well, I passed the first leg of my ACMT certification, the OS X Lion exam. I scored really well, but I have to say this was the most difficult OS exam I have taken yet. Much more difficult than last years.

I have had a couple of blogs about moving from Apple’s iWeb application since it is no longer supported. This is a great article on the subject that covers pretty much all your options. Give it a read.

MacBook Pro 15″
We have several 2009 vintage MBP 15″ machines at work. They are a good machine and have been a real workhorse for people. However, there is one fairly common, annoying glitch with these machines which can render them sort of useless.
