We all have things we do regularly on our iPhones, whether it’s checking the weather, searching Google, or invoking the magnifier.

For those who work in organizations, regardless of size, you know how much effort is involved with coordinating a group’s technology.

Make Your Finder Window Columns the Right Size

We’re big fans of column view in Finder windows (choose View > as Columns).

Two Quick Tricks You Can Use with the iOS Space Bar

Sure, you know that the Space bar in the iOS virtual keyboard types a space character. But did you realize that if you tap it twice, it inserts a period? (Probably, but if not, now you do.)

How to Downgrade Adobe Creative Cloud Apps to Regain File Compatibility

Here’s the solution to a problem that clients have run into on occasion. In a workgroup that relies on Adobe Creative Cloud apps, one person might upgrade to the latest versions of Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator, whereas others don’t.
