As Joe brings up how great iCloud has been, Sam tells a personal story of woe about syncing issues. Joe & Jerry offer free consulting advice.
Resetting network settings in iOS resolved an issue for Sam where a user had fiddled with many settings, including which apps operate over cellular.
Joe has some follow up about his fix for removing incompatible extensions in the last show.
A story of another great win for our pals at Watchman Monitoring & Gruntwork!
Sam presents a real head scratcher of a case where an iMac spontaneously kicks the user out of their session and goes back to the login window. Any suggestions?
Billing and discounts is a common discussion in our world, and Joe recalls some handy tips for showing clients your appreciation.
While on the subject, Sam had a recent need to increase rates for clients and recounts one particular story with a client.
Jerry encounters a situation we have all probably dealt with, when clients attempt to glean as much information from you as possible in an attempt to "do it yourself".
Jerry's client has some challenges working with external displays alongside the new 13" MacBook Pros.
