Bob LeVitus Consulting
About this Blog:
This blog is written for the beginning to intermediate Macintosh user. While there are many technical information sites, my purpose is to write clear solutions to common Macintosh problems with lots of illustrations to make it easy to follow along.
In my work as a consultant, I must keep my computer up-to-date, so illustrations and directions will be made from the latest version of the Mac OS X operating system.

Finding things near you with Google
Do you know where the nearest Starbucks is? I
don’t -- I am not a coffee drinker, but when
out of town friends arrive, that is a frequent
question.
To find out where a particular store or restaurant is located near you, type in its name and your zip code. Google will return a map the addresses of locations near you, and even telephone numbers. Click here to read more...

Paragraphs, Tabs and Lists
I wrote a blog entry back in November in which I
talked about formatting documents. For
that entry I used TextEdit. That entry focuses
on the differences between word processing and
using a typewriter. I worked with a client this
week who uses Pages, a part of Apple’s
iWork suite. Since the tools for paragraph setup
in Pages are a bit different from those in
TextEdit, let’s take a look at the tools
in Pages. In the coming weeks I will try to do
blog entries about the process in Microsoft Word
and even AppleWorks. Click here to read

When is it time to reformat a hard drive?
I was listening to a recent episode of a
friend’s podcast earlier this morning. He was
discussing Macworld and his experiences there.
Unfortunately he had a bit of trouble with his hard
drive. I still have not finished listening to the
podcast, but I just had to stop to write this blog
post. Click here to read

Griffin Technology 25% Discount
My favorite company for iPod and iPhone accessories
is Griffin Technology. Since I
am not at Macworld this year, I am really
missing my annual trip to their booth to look
for new items and to take advantage of their
special show pricing. I received a Twitter Tweet
from a friend who is a product engineer there.

Bee Docs timline 3D sale
I am a real fan of timelines. I frequently find
myself making them to keep track of all sorts of
things.
Right now, I have one for our family. I have recorded the dates of significant events in our lives. I find this very useful in my project of getting all of our family photos and mementos in order. Many of our early family photos have no dates on them and most are in boxes instead of albums, so as I sort new ones, I find myself adding lots of dates to my timeline. Click here to read more...

Macworld Bargains
2009-01-07 09:36 AM iPhotoGeneral Mac
After ten years and 14 Macworlds, I am sitting this
one out. I am at home, cuddled in warm clothes,
recovering from the first cold I have had in two
years. I seldom get them, but when I do, I seem to
get every possible effect. I lost my voice yesterday
and today I can barely squeak.
Missing a Macworld is difficult on many levels. It’s not just about missing the keynote and the Apple booth--in fact in the scope of Macworld, those are pretty minor. Macworld is really about fourthings, the people, the training, the products and the networking.
