Mac Geek Gab — Apple Tips, Tricks, and Troubleshooting MGG 322: Security, Screen Zooming, Data Recovery & More
Dave and John go straight to the mailbag this week, sharing some comments about security (including how to better secure your Facebook account), cleaning scratched CDs, and (finally!) a utility for finding what apps are truly keeping your disk(s) from ejecting! Then it’s question time, and your two favorite geeks stay squarely rooted in the mailbag, helping you and fellow listeners learn how to set default zoom levels in Mail and Safari, manage your podcasts while untethered from your computer, sending sound to different speakers, recovering lost files (and the nuances therein), and much, much more. Download (this one’s free right now, folks!), listen, learn and enjoy!
