    New Apple Music app search function

    I can't stand it, and just like with the last time they updated itunes, I need to find out how to be able to use the search function as it previously functioned. In this latest version you put in a word to search, and it shows results in a separate almost picture-like results screen. I have...

    2014 27" iMac and Sidecar Performance

    I've used Astropad Pro for a while with a 2014 27" iMac. Its performance has been fine, but I think the $12/month subscription is a bit of a price gouge. I was excited about Sidecar and recently updated to iPad OS 13 and Catalina beta to realize my iMac is not supported. I've found the work...

    All iPads iPad as second monitor with Catalina

    I have a late 2015 27 inch iMac (which I love) and iPhone XS Max, but I always struggle keeping an iPad because I can't seem to find its place in my ecosystem.... With the Sidecar feature coming in Catalina, I think I can justify an iPad to not only be my portable, big screen device when needed...

    Why Mojave is a 2-year OS

    Here is my take, I have 5 systems that are my main Macs that I use everyday. I have 3 of those systems that have extensions and apps that are lingering 32-bit still. I have 1 of those Macs that does have Catalina Beta installed but that's just a checker. So the situation is, by the time next...
