Protect yourself on public WiFi with a VPN
Did you know that when you connect your phone to a public WiFi network, whether it's in a coffee shop, a hotel or even in guest network in an office, you're potentially letting everyone else on the network see all the websites you're visiting and potentially even your login information for websites? Here, we'll show you how to avoid this problem.
How to securely send a password
Temporary Password is a good way to send passwords securely, as it is a one time only use link, that way when you send over the link to someone in an email, once you confirm they have the password it's not going to be stored in your emails.
Using multiple desktops in macOS
In a previous tip, we showed you how to use the new multiple desktops feature in Windows 10 and this week we'll show you how to do the same in macOS. The Mac has had multiple desktops for a long time, but the way they work changed slightly in macOS 10.11 so we thought it would be a good topic to cover again.
Sending files in the most efficient way
This tip on how to send files using Dropbox is one of our most popular tips as this topic comes up a lot. Sending large files by email is never a good idea as it fills your email account up unnecessarily and can make your email slow to a crawl while it tries to send the file.
We've updated this tip a few times to make sure it fits with the latest versions of Dropbox for your devices.
How can I edit my photos?
If you enjoy taking photos and storing them on your computer or mobile device, you have access to a lot of free software that can help you enhance, resize and otherwise edit your photos. Basic software for doing this is built into Windows, macOS and iOS and we'll show you how to get started with it here.
Spotting a fake email
One of the most common types of scams aimed at businesses at the moment is sending a spoof email asking for a payment to be made. These are usually worded to make it sound urgent so no time is taken to double check but there are usually a couple of tell tale signs which we'll run through here.
How can I keep my data safe?
Keeping a regular backup of the data on your computer and mobile device is one of the most important things that you can do. This protects you against losing any of your photos, music or documents in the event that anything happens to your computer or if any of your files get accidentally deleted.
How do I use Apple Music?
With Apple Music's increasing popularity, Tekee Tim thought it would be a good time to show you how to get the best from it.
Using web browsers effectively
When you’re browsing the Internet, search engines can be very useful for finding pages that you don’t know the address for or for looking up information, but if you already know the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) then you can get to the page much quicker by not using a search engine.
Can it be useful to have two browsers on your computer?
It's often useful to have two different web browsers installed on your computer, this can help if one stops working, doesn't display a page correctly or you just need to browse privately and need to clear the cache and history at the end of your browsing.
In this tip, we'll give you some ideas of the way they can be useful and give you some options for the best browsers to use.
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.
