This is yet another of those incredibly stupid default settings on all Macs. I cannot imagine why someone would want only Text boxes and lists to be selected when pressing tab on the keyboard. It’s maddening to try to navigate a form, only to find that the computer is forcing you to reach for the [...]

Last night, my iPhone wouldn’t charge, whether I plugged into my laptop or directly into the wall with the Apple-provided AC adapter. The icon at the top right showed a green battery with the lightning charging symbol, but the battery just wasn’t getting charged.
It was still showing 20% remaining or 10% remaining warnings, even after [...]

I was trying to set up my new Mac to be like my Windows PC for testing, so I need to have a few custom host names resolve to local IP addresses. All I could find in Google kept telling me to use /etc/hosts, or NetInfo Manager. I tried both of these methods and neither [...]

My iMac froze for the fifth time today, so I called up AppleCare at 1 (800) 275-2273 and talked with Josh. If you call them, have your computer’s serial number ready. It’s the first thing he asked me for, and I don’t think they’ll say anything without it.
Anyway, all we did was restart the computer [...]

First of all, if printing doesn’t work, check the print queue. If you see NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED, remove the printer and add it again, but when it asks you to authenticate, try entering:
