Buying a replacement Smart Keyboard for my 10.5 iPad Pro’s

iPad SmartKeyboard I think I’ve come to the conclusion that I need to get a new SmartKeyboard for my iPad Pro 10.5. The error message and randomly not being able to use the keyboard when I need it has been really annoying. Not only does the keyboard sometimes not work, at other times it just …

MS Teams Volume is too Loud on iOS

Microsoft Teams This is a complaint just for Microsoft Teams on iOS.  My work computer is a piece of crap so I try and use my work iPhone and iPad for my calls. Lately these calls have been transitioned to MS Teams because its over the internet, doesn’t require some crazy dial in dancing on …

iCloud Keychain needs to be an App

In the great world of password managers, iCloud Keychain is the one that I want and its kind of there if you know where to look.  As of now I use a different password manager for my “stuff” so that I can log into the myriad of applications and websites across work and my personal …

iOS Backups need a more robust solution

If there’s one thing that I don’t like about the Apple Ecosystem its the way that backups are handled for iOS devices. I think I’ve written a little bit about this before but most recently I’ve been having issues with my backup strategy since there are so many devices at home and I just don’t …

Multi-Profiles in iOS please Apple?

WWDC is upon us tomorrow and I've watched all the leak videos on YouTube from most major Apple followers showing off the neat new things like dark mode, new emoji's, and other blah blah blah that really doesn't have a lot of impact on my use of iOS. I'll admit that if some of the …

Flipboard still wins as my news app of choice

iOS 9 Public Beta Test

I just installed the iOS 9 public beta on my iPad Mini 2 to try out some of the new features that were mentioned at WWDC 15.  I've only been able to really notice 3 different things right now but thats due to me only using it for a few hours. 1) The new app …

I despise the “iCloud Full” error

I'll freely admit that I'm a pretty heavy user of all things iOS with all the iPads, my iPhone and my legacy iPhones still being used in my home.  My iPhone 6 is awesome and I use it to constantly take pictures and video of things around me when I travel and when I'm at …

iOS 7 Keynote was pretty cool

The Apple WWDC just kicked off this week and they were nice enough to show the keynote speech on Apple.com. There were a lot of great things around Mac and OSX (I'll probably upgrade my MacBook when they release Mavericks) but what I was really interested in was the new iOS 7 that was announced. …

Upgrading to iOS 6

This past week the new OS came out from Apple and I attempted to download it unsuccessfully on Wednesday. I was able to finally do the upgrade this weekend while I was at home. So far I've been selective on upgrading my devices and some just cant be upgraded at all. I've gone ahead and …
