May 14	comment	What tiny thing in iOS 5 makes you smile, or has caught you off guard? Use @@ for your email address and ## for your phone number
Mar 5	comment	How do I remove files from iTunes which have been deleted on disk? Hrm. Just tried it again and it seems to be working. Either a recent update to iTunes 11 fixed this or I missed something before.
Feb 14	comment	How do I remove files from iTunes which have been deleted on disk? Unfortunately as of iTunes 11 this appears to no longer work. Invalid tracks are now added to the playlist.
Jan 24	comment	Enable Time Machine to backup an SD Card? Not backing up TO SD, rather using SD as additional storage and want that to be backed up via TM
Jan 22	comment	Enable Time Machine to backup an SD Card? @vcsjones great point, I believe it's exFAT but I could try reformatting it to HFS+ to test
Sep 26	comment	What hidden features have you found in iOS 6? 'edited' for clarity
Sep 26	comment	What hidden features have you found in iOS 6? It's not about dialing, it's about having a phone number in a contact, web page, or email where iOS' data detector turns it into a clickable link.
Sep 26	comment	What hidden features have you found in iOS 6? Btput 'answering' you mean 'acknowledging the notificatioon', correct?
Sep 26	comment	What hidden features have you found in iOS 6? I've only tested it a bit but a space then x### seems to work. I suspect it will pick up a few other methods too. But tried with 'ex' instead of x and it didn't work.
Sep 25	comment	What hidden features have you found in iOS 6? Screenshots or specific examples of how this is useful will prevent further downvoting...
Jun 1	comment	How do I remove files from iTunes which have been deleted on disk? This is brilliantly simple - thanks!
May 31	comment	What is a good Time Capsule substitute? My understanding is that the ONLY supported way to use Time Machine over a wireless network is via an Apple Time Capsule. From my experience and research, trying to use Time Machine on a wireless drive/NAS is not only unsupported but extremely unreliable.
Apr 17	comment	Downloading voicemail to my laptop Your phone has to be jailbroken for iExplorer to access voicemail files. Apparently the paid version (Phone to Mac or Phone to PC) will copy voicemail off a 'regular' iPhone: macroplant.com/phonetomac
Mar 28	comment	What tiny thing in iOS 5 makes you smile, or has caught you off guard? On further use this may be a bug as it doesn't seem to always happen (reliably or consistently), or only a partially supported feature. Trying to get to the bottom of this: discussions.apple.com/thread/3836857
Mar 27	comment	Why does my iPhone use so much “other” space after upgrade to iOS 5? Perhaps try an app like iExplorer (macroplant.com/iexplorer) or PhoneView (ecamm.com/mac/phoneview) to see if you can easily browse the file system of your iPad to determine what is taking up the space:
Mar 26	comment	Why does my iPhone use so much “other” space after upgrade to iOS 5? You may want to try a backup and then factory restore. Also, check if there are any apps that store (large amounts of) data locally that could be taking it up.
Mar 21	comment	Know of any features or tips and tricks in OS X 10.7 (Lion)? Good tip, but I don't believe this is specific to Lion (10.7.x)
Feb 24	comment	Painfully slow to browse large list of subfolders via SMB and/or AFP @AronRotteveel nope, still appears to be an ongoing problem.
Jan 30	comment	Most iPhone 4S photos import into iPhoto 11 as all black images This worked for me. Such a simple solution - I was used to rebooting back in the Windows days, but forgot it can be necessary even in OSX.
Jan 30	comment	How can I view and copy an email address in a message header within iOS' Mail.app? You have to double tap to view the address, at least in iOS5, but you can then view and copy it.
