Michael Potter is the Executive Producer of For Mac Eyes Only, and the organizer of the annual Macstock Conference and Expo. Mike's love-affair for all things Apple began in his Junior High's Library playing Lemonade Stand on a pair of brand new Apple ][+ computers. His penchant for Apple gear continued to be nurtured by the public school system when, in High School, he was hired as a lab supervisor to help run the Apple ][e lab for his fellow students and their Print Shop needs. Then, further still, in college he often opted to help a friend with her Computer Graphics coursework instead of focusing on his own studies, but only because it helped get him closer to the Mac-lab.

Lydia’s effort was a video created on-site during the 500th episode taking of Mac Power Users, and captured Macstock in a very unique way. See why Lydia’s creation is so inspiring, and why you should join her in thinking outside the box when creating video.

Mike's love-affair for all things Apple began in his Junior High's Library playing Lemonade Stand on a pair of brand new Apple ][+ computers. His penchant for Apple gear continued to be nurtured by the public school system when, in High School, he was hired as a lab supervisor to help run the Apple ][e lab for his fellow students and their Print Shop needs. Then, further still, in college he often opted to help a friend with her Computer Graphics coursework instead of focusing on his own studies, but only because it helped get him closer to the Mac-lab.

MacVoices #19186: Sam W. Klambour On The Push To Bring Zentyal Server to macOS

Mon, 15 Jul 2019 15:55:53 -0400

When Apple discontinued macOS Server, there was a gap in the software market for Mac Admins. Sam W. Klambour, Product Evangelist for Zentyal macServer, talks about the need for a native macOS server, and the Indiegogo campaign he is coordinating to do just that. Sam explains why there is still a need for small and medium-sized businesses to run their own server, and why such a server needs to be both simple and powerful. We get a look at what such a server would look like, and learn how we can help fill this hole in the solutions that the Mac, as a platform, offers.

Not Buying It is Charlotte’s examination of “fake news” and the effect it is having on almost everything. Charlotte helps us define and identify fake news, what makes it different from simple rumor mongering, and why it isn’t necessarily politically motivated. Are we really living in a “post-truth era”? How to improve your digital literacy, whether or not there should be regulations to help curb the fake news epidemic, and why trust comes so hard these days are all part of Charlotte’s examination of the subject.

We caught up with Glenn Fleishman to chat about three of his Take Control Books.

Glenn talks about the history of the service, how it has become a standard for not only business, but for a variety of types of groups who want or need collaboration capabilities.

In Take Control of Your Apple ID, Glenn talks about the challenges and pitfalls of all the things that your Apple ID is used for. A surprising rule about email addresses, the most frequently asked questions about Apple IDs and other tips are all part of the discussion, and of the book.

Take Control of Wi-FI Networking and Security helps you understand the demands of today’s wireless networks and how to keep yourself safe and secure while using them. Glenn covers the inevitable choices between features and cost, and helps you decide not what is best, but what is best for you.

MacVoices #18233: Michael E. Cohen Updates Take Control of Pages

Wed, 05 Dec 2018 14:29:12 -0500

Apple keeps making Pages better, and Michael E. Cohen continues to revise Take Control of Pages to keep up. After delving a bit into the history of Pages, Michael takes us through a whirlwind list of the changes and updates to the program’s page layout and word processing capabilities. Those improvements aren’t limited to the Mac, but also include the iPhone and iPad versions. Michael discusses the differences, points out an unusual use for the animated drawings feature, and discusses being, at least for a brief moment, the most well-versed expert of the program on the planet.

This edition of MacVoices is sponsored by Smile, the makers of PDFpen and PDFpenPro, PDFpen for iPad, PDFpen for iPhone, PDFpen Scan+, as well as TextExpander for Mac and TextExpander for iPhone and iPad, as well as the new TextExpander for Windows. Great software to help you get more done.

MacVoices #18230: Jason Snell Takes Control of Apple's Photos on Mac and iOS

Fri, 30 Nov 2018 13:42:24 -0500

Jason Snell helps you get the most out of Apple’s photo utilities in his new book, Take Control of Photos. An evolution from a previous title, Jason’s latest effort expands on that to cover both Photos in iOS 12 and macOS Mojave. He talks about why the format of this book is more in tune with how we consume information now, then digs in to how Photos compares with other photo editing options out there, what you can and can’t do with your photos on Apple TV, and the new capabilities Apple has given us for creating printed items even though they are no longer offering that under their brand. The iOS version of Photos has plenty of new features and capabilities, sometimes outstripping its desktop counterpart. Jason tells us what they are and how to use them.

Why you do and don’t want to have multiple Apple IDs, and what you can or can’t do with them, why security is such a big deal, and some things you can do should you lose access to your Apple account are just some of the things this book addresses.

Adam Christianson says that his first Apple was a IIGS which he acquired by successfully talking my Dad out of purchasing a Mac Plus (Ahh, to be young and naive again). A steady stream of Macs followed. He made it through college using my trusty Mac Plus and after graduation migrated to a Performa 575. The Performa sustained him while working in pre-press for a successful Portland, OR advertising agency. In Portland, with the help of the local Mac User Group (PMUG), he quickly made friends with other Mac Geeks and officially joined the Cult of Macintosh. Adam's career quickly moved from pre-press to IT services, while all along doing freelance web design and development under the name Terraform Creative. After and brief stint on the PMUG board of directors, he purchased a shiny new B&W G3, packed up his stuff and moved to San Diego to dry out. Adam began a new life as a Software Engineer and sought out new Mac Geeks in the San Diego Macintosh Users Group (SDMUG). He currently serves on the Board of Directors for SDMUG, as well as the Board of the San Diego Computer Society (SDCS). In August 2004, Adam discovered Podcasting and became instantly addicted. In early December 2004 he put out the first MacCast and hasn't stopped since. He currently produces and publishes the MacCast each week and is having a great time doing it. The Macintosh and the Mac community continue to amaze and inspire him and he is happy to be one of the crazy ones. You can find him on Twitter.

Jeff Carlson is back to discuss an update to his Take Control of Lightroom CC that helps us not only understand the differences between the flavors of the program, but also talks about some of the newly added features.

Jeff makes sense of it, discussing date-and-time stamping, machine learning, and what Adobe is doing with the photos you trust to their cloud-based service, if you let them. Some of the other changes Jeff addresses are the new tone curve tool, a split toning feature, and why storing photos on an external hard drive is one of the best new options.

The MacJury panel of Michael E. Cohen, Mark Fuccio, and host Chuck Joiner braved a blizzard of Skype issues to discuss their first weekend with Apple’s new smart speaker, the HomePod.

Michael E. Cohen’s Test Playlist & Notes:

Saint-Saëns Symphony No. 3 “The Organ Symphony” because, well, big booming organ
Bach, selected Brandenburg concerti because I wanted to hear chamber music and hear how well individual instruments sounded
Beatles, “Good Morning, Good Morning” because rampaging animal noises near the end sound cool in stereo I wanted to know how well it sounded in HomePod’s single speaker rendition (answer, darn good!)
"Crosby, Stills, & Nash” a vinyl album I digitized years ago to MP3 format; sounded “muddy” compared to something digitized with better equipment and more care…though, interestingly, it began to sound better the longer it played, as though HomePod’s A8 brain was working on optimizing the admittedly mediocre-quality source audio.
"Ben Franklin's Song” by the Decemberists because I like it.
“Temporarily Humboldt County” a late 1960s comedy piece by the Firesign Theatre, because it has interesting sound effects and lots of sotto voce comic lines buried in the sound tapestry. It sounded as good in HomePod mono as it ever did on my old hi-fi stereo.
NPR News—yes, it plays the news very nicely.
Personal phone call using my HomePod as a speaker phone: one of the best speaker phones I’ve ever used in terms of quality of audio and ease of use.
“Wonder Woman” played through HomePod via my Apple TV; it sounded very good. Good enough, in fact, that I have made an Apple TV-HomePod activity in my Harmony remote so I can make that a default way of watching Apple TV media.

Wed, 31 Jan 2018 14:30:05 -0500

Joe Kissell is back for his first appearance of 2018, and talks about new editions of two of his books that are important to anyone who uses a computer or online device of any kind. In Take Control of Your Passwords, Joe updates his advice on making your passwords as secure as you can, and with Take Control of 1Password, he delves into the latest updates to the password manager he (and host Chuck Joiner) use. For 1Password, new features such as Travel Mode help secure you while crossing borders, and a subscription model addresses the need for constant updates. But password managers aren’t the answer to all the password issues; Joe provides some examples, and how to address them.

MacVoices #18029: CES - Satechi Adds To Their Line of USB-C Adapters

Mon, 22 Jan 2018 09:45:10 -0500

In the Satechi booth on the CES show floor, John Peterson gave us a tour through a maze of USB-C adapters that allow you to connect pretty much anything to your MacBook or MacBook Pro (or USB-C-equipped iMac). What makes their product line interesting is that you can select your connectivity needs (HDMI, Ethernet, USB 2, SD card, micro SD card, etc.) and they have at least one adapter that addresses those needs. John also showed us a new keyboard, new Apple Watch stand, and a special clamp-type hub for your iMac.

Fri, 22 Dec 2017 12:05:04 -0500

Joe Kissell is ending 2017 with a bang, bringing four book titles back to Take Control, and updating them for High Sierra in the process. Take Control of Speeding Up Your Mac, Take Control of Troubleshooting Your Mac, Take Control of Maintaining Your Mac, and Take Control of Backing Up Your Mac make up what Joe calls their “fitness” bundle, essential information for every Mac user. Each book stands on its own, but there are themes that cut across all the subjects. Joe gives us some ideas on how High Sierra’s new file system, APFS, changes the game for all the titles, why backups are even more important if you’ve adapted the new file system, and how sometimes the most basic parts of your system need to have special attention.
