What is private browsing?
Almost every web browser now has a private browsing mode and there are even apps for mobile devices to help you browser privately, but it's not always as private as you might think and we'll run through what is and isn't private in this tip.
Why did my email bounce back?
Occasionally, when you send an email you might get an email back telling you that it couldn't be delivered. There are many reasons why an email fails to get delivered. The return email will usually tell you what the problem is and we'll run through a few of the more common reasons here.
Caching updates with macOS
If you have a house or office with multiple Apple devices, iMacs, MacBooks, iPhones, iPads etc it can be a pain to have to download all the updates for each device separately. This tip will help you get around that problem.
Want to stay extra secure online?
Everyone knows that it's very important to keep all your online accounts (Facebook, Google, iCloud, email etc.) as secure as possible to ensure that no one else gets access to any of your personal information.
We thought it was time to update our advice with a system that can add an extra layer of safety to ensure that you're even more secure by using 2 Factor Authentication.
How can I set up an email signature?
Having a signature on your outgoing email is a great way to ensure that people always have your contact details or other information to hand so in this tip we'll show you how to set up a signature on a few different devices.
Changing your DNS servers
If you find yourself having intermittent problems with websites loading slowly, email not working and seeing out of date websites, you could be having problems with your DNS servers.
All Internet Providers provide DNS as part of the connection and these convert a website name such as bbc.co.uk into the actual address of the website which is something like 63.194.125.69. Unfortunately the DNS Servers that you get with your Internet connection are usually pretty bad. They can be slow and out of date and we always recommend using better ones.
In this tip, we'll show you have to switch over to using faster and safer DNS on your Mac, Windows PC and your home router.
Sharing a folder via iCloud
Included in the latest update for macOS, iOS and iPadOS is the ability to share folders via iCloud to other iCloud users. Ideal for sharing files between different Apple users without having to sign up for a new service like Dropbox or OneDrive.
In this tip, we'll show you how to use this new feature.
Using any file as a template on a Mac
One of the great features of macOS is the ability to use almost any file as a template for creating new files based on that file.
Where's all my space gone?
