With the holiday season fast approaching, here is some insight into way your computer processed photos do not look the same on your monitor versus when you print them out.
Printing Problems
You may notice a huge
difference between the photos on your monitor. It can either be lighter or darker than the ones you preview
on your monitor. They may even exhibit different color schemes than
what you were expecting.
The problem you are running into is that your monitor is not
calibrated with the printer you are using. The printer's black
might look gray on your monitor if you have your brightness turned way
up. What looks orange on your computer may very well print red
because the color...

Are your tired of seeing and deleting the same email message on your iPad, iPhone and Apple Computer? Is there a way of deleting the message once and not having it appear on your other email devices? Yes, there is a solution.
There are two basic protocols for email:
POP3 - most prevalent. Email is downloaded from your server to your computer for you to manage. Unless you use WebMail (access email using a web browser), each device that accesses your email will download all messages that are new to that device. Deleting an email from one device does not mean that email is deleted from all other devices.
IMAP - more likely to be seen in a corporate environment. Email is stored on the server....

You patted yourself on the back. Your iPad and iPhone are now running IOS5. You have a new feature called iCloud. Now what?
In order to use iCloud across all your Apple computers and devices, your Apple Laptop or Workstation must be running the Lion (10.7) version of the operating system.
Can your Apple Computer be upgraded to Lion? Here are the Lion computer requirements: http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html
If you are not running Snow Leopard (10.6), you cannot download and install Lion. Lion is only available as a download from Apple via the Apple Application Store. The Apple Application Store access is only available on computers running Snow Leopard or higher.

If you use the email address you created from your High Speed Internet Provider, what happens when you change providers?
You lose your old email address from your previous provider. Depending on the provider, you may be able to cancel your High Speed Internet Access contract, but keep your old email address for a small monthly fee. Usually, you will be able to receive emails, but not send them.
You probably tell all your old contacts in your address book about your new email address and tell them when the old one will no longer work. Usually that was accomplished by creating a distribution list of all your contacts you wanted to update and sending them an email with your new email address....

Three disturbing things have happened in the past month that have me wanting to get rid of my Android cell phone:
My staff have two different models from HTC that stopped charging. The mini-USB port where the charger fits into the cell phone is defective. Over time it appears that the port shrinks in size enough that any charger you use will no longer fit tight enough for the cell phone to charge. The fix is to gently apply pressure on the top and bottom of the charger end that goes into the cell phone to slightly flatten the charger end. This tightens the connection between the charger and the cell phone, fixing the problem until the next time you need to re-adjust the charger end....
