A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Episode 124. Since the release of Apple’s iBooks Author tool back in January I have been looking forward to seeing what people start to do with it. More so, I wanted to know what the process was like for actually creating, producing, and selling an eBook using the tool. In this show I talk with colleague and friend David Sparks (Mac Power Users) about exactly that. His new iBooks Authored book, Paperless, just launched on the iBookStore and he took some time to share the self publishing creation process with us.

A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Episode 123. Often when we buy a new Mac there is Mac left that, while may not meet you’re current needs, still has life left in it. I thought we’d cover some obvious and maybe not so obvious things to do with that old Mac.

A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Episode 122. Today’s show will be a bit of a story, but in the telling I hope you get some insight into the process and procedures that I go through when my Mac starts acting up. I’m not saying these are necessarily the best or correct procedures, but they are simply an example of a typical path I might take.

A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Episode 120. There has been a lot of talk about Apple security with the recent exposure of the Flashback.K trojan targeting the Mac. The news has also raised awareness about privacy and security concerns for Apple users surrounding apps and web services. I thought now would be a great time to have a talk about the things we should all be doing to better protect ourselves. George Starcher joins me on this episode and we discuss how to build a layer of protection around yourself and your stuff.

The new iPhoto for iOS seems like a great tool for image editing on the iPhone, iPod, and iPad, but I wanted to try and get the most out of it. Many of the controls are intuitive, but as we like to do here I figured it was time to take a deep dive and uncover some of the little extra things it can do.

A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Episode 117. When Apple announced the new iPad and Apple TV last week a big part of that was support for 1080p video. In the past I’ve done episodes with Ara Derderian (HTGuys.com) on how to build Apple based home theater set-ups, but since Apple only supported 7020p that has always been the focus. Now that 1080p is here Ara and I chat with Dean Dauger (Dauger Research) about his 1080p based Mac Home Theater set-up.
