Apple gave haters the best belated Christmas gift ever last year. “Proof” that Apple was slowing down phones to “force” users to upgrade.MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHA. It’s not always easy being a Mac advocate. We love our iMacs, Mac Minis, Mac Pros, MacBooks, MacBook Pros and Airs, iPods, iPads and iPhones! We love the closed, secure, dedicated ecosystem. We love the company and its values, commitments and innovations.

We even love the haters (and we love watching them realize they were wrong come around).

ICloud Keychain is a useful utility in iOS and OS X that allows you to securely save and store your passwords, account names, and even credit cards to your Keychain across multiple devices.

I find the password management utility to be one of the most helpful myself. The iCloud Keychain helps make managing and remembering multiple social media and email login credentials simple. In this quick guide I’ll show you how to setup the keychain to store your passwords, how to view your saved credentials, and how to generate a password using the Keychain. How to Enable iCloud Keychain in iOS. Launch the Settings app.

Hotkeys exist to make your life easier, but often go unused or forgotten by many users. Hotkeys make things like managing files,applications, and other system task a mere tap of the fingers. I’ve compiled a list of the many useful hotkeys I use on a daily basis when working on my Mac. These following hotkeys are useful for managing windows and open applications.

They can help to reduce onscreen clutter or quickly move between programs. Command-W — Close the current window Command-Q — Quit the current program Command-M — Minimize the current window to the Dock Command-H — Hide the current program but keep it running Command-Tab — Cycle through open programs Command- Tilde — Cycle between open windows for current program This set of commands is useful when working with the Finder application or otherwise managing files.

Wirelurker attacks iOS devices and Macs From Palo Alto Networks: WireLurker was used to trojanize 467 OS X applications on the Maiyadi App Store, a third-party Mac application store in China. In the past six months, these 467 infected applications were downloaded over 356,104 times and may have impacted hundreds of thousands of users. WireLurker works by monitoring any iOS device connected via USB with an infected OS X computer.

Once it detects such a device it installs third-party applications or other malicious applications onto the device. Once the malware has affected the device it can steal sensitive information, self replicate, request and receive updates from the creator, and hide itself within the system. This malware’s characteristics make for one really nasty virus. But there are steps that you can take to prevent or minimize your chance of infection. Only download apps from trusted sources (e.g. Mac App store).

Use an antivirus software and keep signatures up to date. Do not pair your iOS device with any untrusted computer.

Keep your iOS and OS X version up-to-date. In your OS X System Preferences under Security and Privacy make sure you have the option “ Allow apps downloaded from: Mac App store and identified developers” checked. Avoid charging your device your device through unknown or untrusted sources This shouldn’t be of much concern to most users, so far users have mostly been targeted in China. But precautions should still be taken to be safe.

Continuity is a new feature in iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite that allows users to easily move between their iOS device and Apple computer. With this feature you can receive and answer phone calls and SMS messages directly from your computer, as well as start typing an email on your iPad using the mail app and instantly continue from your computer.

Awesome, right? However, not all devices are compatible with this feature. You’ll need a device with iOS 8 and a computer with OS X Yosemite installed on it. Users with older hardware will be out of luck, as this feature can only be used on more recent hardware. So maybe you want to install Yosemite on multiple machines or maybe you’d like to have a physical copy to perform a clean install on your Mac.

Then you my friend, need to create a bootable install disk. It’s simple, we’ll walk you through the process. What you’ll need:. A copy of (it’s free). A 8GB or larger flash drive.

A downloaded copy of Yosemite The DiskMaker X process couldn’t be simpler. Once you have installed and started DiskMaker X, the application will guide you through the process and locate the correct file for you. First choose the flavor of OS you wish to install and confirm your selection at the next prompt. Next, connect the disk you want to use and choose it from the dialog box. Verify that you’ve chosen the correct disk because it will be formatted and erased at this point. Enter your administrator credentials when prompted to continue.

And thats it! Just wait for the application to finish, it may take a while. It took me about 30 minutes. You now have a bootable OS X disk. To use the drive, just reboot your Mac with the drive connected while holding the option key, select the install disk, and follow the prompts.

There is never enough time when working on a design project. Even your best efforts to complete a job before the deadline can result in late nights and rushed presentations.

This is especially true when a project includes type. For this reason, I complied a group of tips and shortcuts that can help make the job of designing with and setting type faster and easier.

NOTE: Software-related topics are explained via Adobe InDesign, as that is the industry standard for page layout and typesetting. Other software might have similar features. Customize the Desktop Workspace One of the most overlooked features of Adobe design software is the Workspace. Located in the upper right corner of the Application Bar, the Workspace allows you to create custom configurations of the panels and menu items.

Most people don’t realize they can change their workspace, and so they settle for the default, which is named Essentials. But you may benefit a lot in terms of efficiency by switching to another workspace that fits the kind of work you do. I like to use the Typography workspace, because it gives me easy access to Character, Paragraph, Story, and other panels that I most frequently use.

When things get too scrambled up to find what you need easily, you can select Reset Typography (or whatever other workspace you are currently using). You can also create a custom workspace. InDesign’s Typography Workspace displays the most commonly used features for working with type. When things get jumbled, you can always Reset Typography. Changing measurement units If you create work for both print and web, you might find yourself switching your units of measure between inches and pixels, and perhaps even other measurement units. Default units can be changed via Preferences Units & Increments. If you change this preference with no documents open, your choice applies to all new documents.

But if you need to change measurement units just for the current document, there is a quick and easy way to do this:. Show Rulers in your document (Command + R). Hover over the crosshairs in the upper left corner, then Right-click to show unit options, and select. If you want different units for horizontal and vertical, just click on either the horizontal or vertical ruler, and then Right-click to view and select your preferred unit. Note that the unit you select for the horizontal ruler governs tabs, margins, indents, and other measurements. Changing unit measurements in an open InDesign document is quick and easy when you Show Rulers, then hover over the ruler crosshairs and Right-click to reveal units. Identifying font formats Today’s OpenType fonts, with so many more features than either old Type 1 or TrueType fonts, are a tremendous boon to designers.

Once you’re aware of this, you’ll want to begin new projects with OpenType fonts. Since many designers have hundreds of fonts, it can be challenging to identify and then select OpenType fonts. There are two ways to simplify this task: Most commercial font management utilities (such as FontAgent Pro, Extensis Suitcase Fusion, and Linotype FontExplorer) allow you to sort or filter by format. Once you do this for OpenType fonts, put them all in a self-named folder, and only select fonts from there. But if want to select fonts from within an application, this can easily be done as most Adobe software show the font format icon in the font menu. OpenType fonts have a slanted, two-tone cap O icon, making it easy to identify them.

InDesign and many other applications show the font format next to its name in the font menu (upper). OpenType fonts are indicated with a slanted, two-tone cap O icon. FontAgent Pro, a popular font management utility, allows the user to filter by format (lower). Changing default settings All software comes with preset default settings for new documents.

Adobe InDesign has defaults for many typographic features, including font style and size, linespacing, alignment, hyphenation, figure style, and a lot more. When you regularly use a specific style, such as proportional oldstyle figures, custom hyphenation settings, or optical margin alignment, it makes sense to change the default to save time and reformatting later. This is easily done in InDesign by closing all open documents, and then changing any default to your desired setting. Then it is a good idea (but technically not necessary) to close the app, and relaunch it. Thereafter, any new document will reflect your updated defaults.

Tex-edit Plus Archives Mac Tips 2017

This will not change any settings in existing documents. Note that the process can vary for other software, and thus requires a bit of exploration.

Changing InDesign’s defaults to your most commonly used settings is a real timesaver. Some of the settings I adjust are indicated with a green arrow. Importing text Whether when one is beginning a new project, or making corrections or additions to the text of an existing one, working with properly-formatted text is a tremendous timesaver.

New copy )especially when lifted from the web) might contain typographically incorrect punctuation such as double hyphens instead of dashes, dumb quotes, double word spaces, and hard line breaks. There are two good ways to address these issues to speed up productivity and avoid major manual corrections in the final stages of production:. If you use a Mac, one option is to use before importing or placing any new text into your design file. This is a very useful text editor that can correct most of these issues, and a lot more. Just copy and paste text into a new Tex-Edit Plus document, then use Cleanup Copy set to your specs. Once this is done, you can then copy and paste it back into a word processing document, or directly into your document or application. If you’re using InDesign, you can also accomplish many text clean-up tasks with Find/Change or the help of third-party tools like Multi-Find/Change from Automatization.

See Cari Jansen’s article in for efficient text clean-up workflows. You can also use the Import Options dialog box when you place text into InDesign to clean up common issues. When you place the text file, select Show Import Options. InDesign will open a dialog box for the document format you are importing (most commonly Word) where you can edit importing features, such as Convert to Typographer’s Quotes, remove styles and page breaks, etc.
