Using Hot Corners to save time on macOS
There's a small but very useful feature called Hot Corners in Mac OS X and it can be a very easy way to clear all the windows off your desktop or start your screen saver or put your display(s) to sleep if you're leaving your computer and don't want people to see what's on the screen.
We'll show you here how to set it up and how easy it is to use.
Using "Find My" on Mac and iOS
Most Apple devices, including iPhone, iPad, MacBooks, iMacs and even Apple Watch can be tracked using the built in Find My app. This can be really helpful if you ever lose a device. In this tip, we'll show you how it works.
Checking disk usage in macOS Ventura
In a previous Tekeez Tip, we showed you how to see where your disk space was being used in both Windows and macOS. As this process has now changed in both Windows 11 and macOS Ventura, we thought it was time for a new time to help you see what's using up all your disk space.
Freeing up disk space in Windows 11
In a previous tip we showed you how to free up space on your disk in Windows 10, the process is completely different on Windows 11 so we deduced it was time for a new tip to help you if you start to run out of free space.
Install iPhone and iPad apps on your new Mac
If you have one of Apple's new Macs using their own Apple Silicon processor, then you can install a selection of iPhone and iPad apps and use them on your Mac as you would a normal Mac app. At the time of writing this tip, the new MacBook Air, MacBook Pro and Mac mini all feature the new Apple M1 chip.
In today's Tekeez Tip, we'll show you how to find and install an iPhone or iPad app on your new Mac.
Securing the files on your device with encryption
Everyone knows how important it is to keep the files on your desktop, laptop or mobile device safe and secure. With all your photos, personal and work documents and other files stored across multiple devices, stopping people getting access to those files is very important.
In this tip, we'll show you how to make sure that all your devices are encrypted which means that even if someone steals your device, they shouldn't be able to steal any of your files.
Where did my download go?
We're often asked how to find files that have just been downloaded through a web browser, so we thought we'd put a little guide together to show you how to easily locate your downloads.
Creating encrypted notes on Mac OS and iOS
Included in Apple's updates for iOS 9.3 and macOS 10.11.4 was the ability to have encrypted notes that you can share between the iPhone/iPad and your Mac. Here we'll show you how to lock and unlock notes on both devices so you can ensure that any confidential information you add into a note is kept safe.
How can I keep my computer safe at Christmas?
If you have friends and family coming to visit at Christmas, someone will usually end up using your computer and there are a few things you can do in advance to ensure that people can use your computer safely without causing any problems.
Looking after your email account
One of the most important things you can do to look after your email account is to keep it as small as possible. All email accounts have a fixed size and if you fill your account up, it can be problematic to have to go through and remove emails via the webmail and delete things that you wanted to keep.
How can I remember my passwords?
These days we all have passwords for everything and they all need to be unique, secure and cryptic but easy to access when you need them.
For years now we've been using and recommending 1Password as an easy way to create, store and enter passwords that match all the requirements above.
