Made in ‘Merica – MyMac Podcast #433

Well the news is out. Apple will be assembling an entire Mac line here in the US. Wonderful news and all that, but why does it ring somewhat hollow? The MyMac Podcast has a new way to talk to the GMen. It’s our Google+ Community page! WOO! Now you can…do all the stuff like before…just in yet another place. Yeah, that’s a win.

Less is more, really?!? – MyMac Podcast #432

SPORTS! Well we did talk about sports, but then ventured off into Mac stuff. Who would have guessed? We kinda love the new iTunes, but we REALLY love your questions and feedback! This week Chuck asks the GMen about a good backup strategy for all the Macs in his life, a winner from our 400th Podcast finally checks his email (and Plasq software came through for him…thanks guys!), and FaceBook still makes poor Guy crazy. All this and more on the MyMac.com Podcast!

The “Un” Apple Show – MyMac Podcast #431

So you ask a question on Twitter and FaceBook and what happens? LOTS of listener feedback! Is Apple doing things a little bit different (as in changed from what they themselves were doing before) or is it a product of the GMen’s imagination? Apparently not based on your responses. iTunes, and iMacs, and fuzzy kittens gets discussed. Well not fuzzy kittens. Maybe next week.

What’s Old Is New Again – MyMac Podcast #430

Extra long show this week because Gaz and Guy had lots of important things to say actually we just wouldn’t shut up. There were big doings though as Guy finally replaces his old worn out Mac Pro for a newer worn out Mac Pro but one that will run Mountain Lion and Gaz also upgrades his Macs to the new King of the Jungle. They take you through the steps they used and some of the pitfalls they discovered.

So Here We Go Again – MyMac Podcast #429

Apple gives to Hurricane Sandy relief maybe not until it hurts, but generously. On the home front, Guy might not go to the Macworld Expo and is unable to find his Time Machine. Gaz’s Finder issues may have been solved by NOT turning off his Mac Mini. Guy’s hatred of analysts persists with every stupid they say, Samsung sells more Galaxy SIII’s than Apple sells iPhone 4S’s in a single quarter, and Foxconn may build a plant in the US he yeah right!

Now with slightly less crazy! – MyMac Podcast #427

While the GMen are off NOT doing the 3 Geeky Ladies podcast, Timothy Gregoire from the ChurchTech Geeks podcast  was brave enough to fill the gap. He and special guest Ryan Wells talk about special security set-ups for the Church Tim attends. They then have a discussion of all the Apple gear just released. Some Links: Tim’s Tip. What do you do when iCloud won’t let you back up completely.

Just a short break before the Madness!
– MyMac Podcast #426

A VERY short break as Gaz and Guy just recorded last Tuesday and frankly, not much has changed in four days. That doesn’t mean they can’t come up with an hour of content. The quality of which MAY be questionable, but they had a good time doing it. Gaz gavel Macnatico some information on his home theater setup and they both talk about next week’s GREAT PODCAST SWITCHEROO! We would tell you who we’re subbing for but then you might not listen to the show this week. Some Links:

Back to Normality – MyMac Podcast #425

Both Gaz and Guy are back and so it’s back to normality! Or at least as normal as the GMen can manage. Guy’s son breaks his phone so he has to get him a new one. I wonder what kind he bought? Gaz’s Mac Mini seems to find a new way to hate him each week. This time by letting him log on…but just for a second or two. Another Apple event is almost upon us and they talk about what they think might be coming up. Guy’s wish for a two bay Mac Mini I’m SURE is going to happen! Guy also needed help from Gaz to set up Audio Hijack Pro (again) because somehow the settings got lost from the last time. Eventually they’ll get it kinda right. A great Gaz’s tip as usual and Guy’s head explodes not once, but four times.

It’s a 72-Gonal number – MyMac Podcast #424

Gaz gives a great explanation of gonal numbers at the beginning of the show and he lost me just after the math started.which means nearly right away. James Turner from http://www.woodpad.co.uk is on to keep Gaz from mathing out which is a good thing. There’s lot’s of listener feedback, finally some answers on why our FaceBook numbers went down, and fear of ducks watching you makes a comeback! Woo! Spotlight is in the spotlight with a question from Scott and just because Guy isn’t around doesn’t mean there isn’t a Gaz’s Tip! Lastly there’s something about Beavers hmmm. Some Links: Guy’s App Pick: None because he isn’t here

4 + 2 + 3 = 9 – MyMac Podcast #423

I would love to say something clever about the title, but the truth is we just couldn’t think of a better one. Guy is on the mend and Gaz wanted to update to Mountie (really he did, HONEST!), but time just kept slipping away. Guy’s going to Chicago next week so come on out to the new MacSpecialist store in Oak Park, Illinois if only to heckle him. Also the GMen talk about all this hullaballoo over disappointing iPhones sales and the new Maps App.

Better sound? Oh Let it be! – MyMac Podcast #422

Guy is sick but doesn’t use that as an excuse as to why the podcast last week was so weird sounding. If you listen closely, you can actually hear Guy’s will to live leave him. Gaz keeps his ticker going with plist and daemon answers as well as a great tip! The GMen then go into their favorite and not so favorite features of iOS 6. Remember to use #livinginthenow in your next tweet because Guy thinks it’s funny.

Angry Bloggers – MyMac Podcast #421

Gaz goes to the enemy camp but for a good reason while Guy tries (ye again) to figure out why Skype recording sucks and how to make it better (you can’t apparently). Then they talk about the new things released by Apple (you may have heard something about it) and why some people seem to have a Lightning bug up their neithers.

Just How Old Do Parrots Get? – MyMac Podcast #420

It’s Guy’s birthday and he’ll podcast if he wants to, but Skype seems to think it’s a bad idea. Yep another Skype sucks and we hate it kind of show. We still had fun though making fun of Microsoft and wondering just how long has it been since most of the Mac line had been updated. Gaz gives a great tip and to the surprise of no one Guy hadn’t heard of it before. Most be his old age kicking in.

Holding Our Breath – MyMac Podcast #419

Guy Jr gets cool stuff for his birthday and Big Guy doesn’t. He’s hoping that someone rich, drunk, or crazy (or some combination) will get him that Mac Pro or high end 27-inch iMac that’s on his Amazon Wishlist. But he’s not holding his breath. Gz WAS holding his breath and fortunately he stopped so we could do the show. His external drive is too small because Apple gave him a 750GB instead of a 500GB in the Mac mini he ordered some time ago, so it’s APPLE’S fault! Tim Cook has his first year in and apparently some people have odd reasons why they don’t think he’s doing a good job. And what hoops you have to jump through to get Lion if your Mac can’t run Mountain Lion.
