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.

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.
Stop your laptops connecting to the wrong WiFi
As you travel around with your laptop, you'll end up connecting to all sorts of WiFi networks and this can cause problems if you're back at home or in the office and there's a WiFi hotspot nearby that your device keeps trying to connect instead of your own connection.
Where did my application go?
If you have a lot of applications running on your computer, it can sometimes be difficult to find the one that you’re looking for.
Fortunately both Mac and Windows have an easy to use shortcut for switching between your applications.
How can I create my own playlists in iTunes

How can I safely recycle my computer?
If you've replaced your PC or Mac and would like to dispose of the old one or sell it, then you need to be careful that you've erased all the data on the disk so that no one else can access any of your files.

What can I do if I lose my device?
If you ever lose your laptop or mobile device, you don't need to panic. There are things you can do to make sure that no one else can get hold of your data and you can even track your device to try to get it back.
