Hi everyone! When I decided to put my database of the very best free software for the Macintosh on a Web site for everyone, I had no idea that I'd be filling an unfilled niche and that the site would be so popular. There are other Web sites that list free software for the Mac, but few of...

Here is a free app that makes it dead simple: Blip (free for personal use) https://blip.net/ (Fast file transfer directly between any two of your devices. Requires a minimum of macOS 12.1 Monterey, iOS/iPadOS 15, or Android 9. The Windows version is still in development.) Review...

I host all of my web sites (and my e-mail) with this company, and I can't recommend them highly enough: ICDSoft http://icdsoft.com/ http://www2.icdsoft.com/hosting/usa For surprisingly little I get all of the bells and whistles and great 24/7 service! (Support is via a dedicated Web portal...

I'm sorry...but that makes no sense. Printer drivers don't reside in the Privacy pane. Maybe you could give us a link to what you saw? In the case of folks who have upgraded to the latest version of the Mac OS, and their printers suddenly stopped working, sometimes the fix is to give the...

I use Office in a work environment. The Microsoft Office file formats are the de facto standard in the business world. For me, if I get a file sent to me and it doesn't render PERFECTLY in the Office app that I'm using, then that program is less than worthless to me. Time is money, and I...

Apple isn't responsible for drivers for third party peripherals. The developer of that peripheral is. Samsung's printer division was purchased years ago by Hewlett-Packard. They stopped supporting your printer as of OS 10.7...

The Apple Silicon Macs won't run any Mac apps that aren't universal or specifically for AS. The advantage of running apps that are specifically for AS is that they will run faster than apps that require Rosetta 2, but also that one's SSD takes far less of a hit and will last longer...

You should really check out: Folx/Pro (free/$20) https://mac.eltima.com/torrent-client.html While Transmission is the long-time standard, at some point they started bundling malware with the application, which, as you might suspect, has caused a lot of former users to shy away from it.

Apple Likely to Launch M4 Macs in November https://www.macrumors.com/2024/09/01/apple-likely-to-launch-m4-macs-in-november/ I'm looking forward to purchasing an M4 mini also. I plan to pair it with a 43-inch 4K monitor. I want a 1TB SSD, and I still haven't decided between 8GB or 16GB of RAM...

I use a couple of different ones. They are both listed at: http://www.macattorney.com/free.html

My pleasure. Just FYI, to make reading the book easier, I downloaded the EPUB and converted it to the PDF format, then I used a free comic book reader program to make things as pleasant looking as possible and easy to navigate while reading on-screen.

I've just done a significant update to my Web site that lists the best free software available for the Macintosh. There are now over 150 products listed! Free Macintosh Software http://www.macattorney.com/free.html There are now free versions listed of just about any kind of common software...

Make Something Wonderful: Steve Jobs in his own words Free downloadable ebook! https://stevejobsarchive.com/book/download

TidBits now has an article on this topic: https://tidbits.com/2023/06/26/how-to-identify-and-eliminate-abusive-web-notifications/

A lot has changed with regard to security. For instance, that example about needing extra security when surfing the Web at a coffee shop (the typical example) is outdated. Just about every Web site now (and certainly Web sites with important data), uses Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure...

Macs don't need firewalls. There have been plenty of arguments about this on various Macintosh discussion lists. It's pretty well settled. See: https://www.howtogeek.com/205108/your-mac’s-firewall-is-off-by-default-do-you-need-to-enable-it/ “In reality, firewalls aren't that useful for...

Since the MacInTouch article, I've been hearing from a number of folks who had the problem, but who didn't know what it was or what to do about it, and they say that they were "losing their minds". It attacks a huge security hole, as the Mac's general notification system ties into your...

My pleasure! It made MacInTouch today: https://www.macintouch.com/post/32888/nasty-notifications-trick-safari-users-and-maybe-others/

I'm starting to hear from more and more Macintosh users that there is a very annoying bit of adware going around. It constantly shows you notifications that your McAfee anti-virus software subscription is up. It will even show you these notifications outside of your Web browser. In almost...
