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.

Making sense out of SMS or text messages
2008-10-21 08:16 AM
Okay – I will admit it – I am not a
member of the under 20 crowd, I am not a member of
the under 30 crowd, I am not a member of the under 40
crowd. But that is as far as I will go.
My five children fall into some of those age groups, and they are much more likely to embrace new technologies a bit more quickly than I do. However, being a technologist means that I have to stay current to help you.
One of the newer things is text messaging. Everyone under 30 seems to just get it, and those over 50 probably need a little help in figuring this one out.
Three of my children don’t have land line telephones. Their cell phone is the only way to reach them. They also attend lots of meetings and appointments when having their telephone ring is not appropriate… Click here to read more...

iWork '08 vs Microsoft Office 2008
2008-03-28 09:51 PM
Tomorrow morning I will be half of the presenting
team that will do a presentation comparing Microsoft
Office 2008 and iWork '08. I will be needing to share
a lot of links with my friends from Washington Apple
Pi, a Macintosh User Group that serves Washington DC,
Maryland and Virginia.
In looking for ways to present a lot of material in a very short time, I finally decided to let some others do the work for me!
First, let's take a look at the two applications and what they provide.
No none can speak better for office than the Microsoft Mac Business Unit. Head on over to view a comparison of the three versions of Office 2008: Click here to read more...

The best tool for Mail is back!
2008-03-26 09:19 AM
The day I installed Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard was a
bittersweet one for me. I had come to rely on a
little tool, Mail.appetizer, to make sure that I
immediately saw any messages coming into my Bob "Dr.
Mac" LeVitus Consulting email mailbox. Unfortunately,
the old version broke in Leopard.
Because Mail.appetizer was a beta application and it had not been updated since July 2005, I held out little hope of seeing a new version coming soon.
This morning I received a message from Stefan Schüßler of Bronson Beta, the developer of Mail.appetizer. He has just released a new version that works with Leopard Mail! It is still a beta, but it seems to be very stable. Click here to read more...

Links in my emails won't work

Don't you just hate it – you get an email with
a link – maybe lots of links. You decide to
visit them, but some of them just don't work.
