One shortcut that can save a lot of time on Windows and Mac computers but not everyone knows about is using the right mouse click to pop up a menu giving quick access to some often used commands.

The battery in your mobile device is very important, without it, your device is completely useless so it's good to know how to make it last as long as possible and, as a lot of newer devices don't let you easily replace the battery, how to prolong its life.
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.
Did you know that you can easily transfer files between Apple devices (Mac, iPhone, iPad) using the built in AirDrop feature? This saves you having to email your own files between your different devices and allows you to easy send files to other nearby Apple users without having to get their email address or installing any extra software.
In this tip, we'll show you how to easily send a file using AirDrop.
If you're sending photos or PDFs to people it can be very helpful to add your own annotations, whether it's to give someone directions or point something out in the photo. This is very easy to do using Preview on the Mac and below we'll show you how to do it.
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.

Now that Adobe Flash is to be discontinued at the end of the year, it's a good time to check to see if you still need Flash installed and to remove it before it becomes unsupported.

In this tip, we'll show you how to check and see if Flash is installed and how to remove it from your Mac and Windows PC.
