Comment on You can buy the Apple Watch on April 10th… but you won’t believe the price by neutrino23

The gold watch seems priced as expected. The sport watch we knew about. The stainless steel watch seems much cheaper than expected. There was a lot of speculation that the steel watch would start at $999 and that the steel bands might be as much. I was amazed to see the steel watch and Milanese band priced at just &699.

In reply to Wayne Williams. Great tip, Wayne! Not enough people know about the merits of placing their phones in airplane mode.

I have to put my phone in airplane mode while at work, inside my locker. I work inside of a hospital and it’s virtually a cell phone free zone. Putting it in airplane mode is quicker than turning it off, too. Doing this, I can go two days or so without charging it, so it really helps.

In reply to POLSON.

1. Leave the apps in the iWork folder.
2. You need 10.10 or later for the new iWork apps. Since you’re on 10.6.8 the Mac App Store won’t give you the option to upgrade the iWorks apps till you’re on Yosemite.

In reply to wederfort. Here is how I got it to work in Mountain Lion. In app store go to purchased tab. I saw the 3 apps there. I clicked on install and it said OS 10.10 required for latest version but it offered to download the latest compatible version. This worked without any 30 day trial.

In reply to Renkman. It worked on my Mac mini with Mavericks but not on my Mac mini with Mountain Lion. Maybe you need Mavericks or higher.

In reply to POLSON. Hi Polson. I followed the directions in my tutorial exactly, and had no problems. Downloaded the 09 trial, opened all three apps, then closed them. I didn't didn't do anything else to them at that point. I then launched the Mac App Store and looked at the "updates" tab. AT this point, the newest version was available for free. Currently in my applications folder I have both versions of the iWork suite right now.

In reply to Bart.

Sorry if you didn’t like the word “exploit”–maybe loophole? If you can buy them in the Mac App Store for $20 each, then getting them for free by using a 09 “trial version” seems kind of like an exploit to me. I don’t have an earlier version on my computer. I only used the 30 day trial, which I had linked to in the post, and was able to update that way.

Did not work for me. Tried it at about 11:30 am Central on Dec 16 and no updates showed in the App Store.
After installing, launching, and quitting the 3 demo apps, I removed them from the iWork09Demo folder that they were in upon downloading and have them “loose” in my Applications folder. Should I have kept them inside the iWork09Demo folder?
I am still running 10.6.8 but tried this in anticipation of upgrading to Mavericks or Yosemite.

Yeah, nice tip, but this is not an “exploit”. Apple has made iWork free for a long while now, you only need an earlier version, and all the older Macs came with it. All you had to do was not delete it. Plus, the online versions are also free.

In reply to RB6719. Yeah, it was nice to get 15 GB for the price of 10 for doing nothing extra :)

Thanks for the info. I did the upgrade (easy) and once it kicks in, I should be saving $5 a month on this plan. Not a whole lot but better than before.

Comment on Apple Pay launches with iOS 8.1–here’s how to set it up and use it today on your iPhone 6 & iPhone 6 Plus by Head Case Designs

I think Apple is one of the most efficient way to pay, but the problem is not every businesses will support this feature. Some are already disabling NFC based payment system.

If they get much thinner they’d have the added benefit of just floating to the ground like paper if you dropped it!

Comment on How to set-up Family Sharing in iOS 8 by Renkman

Renkman — Wed, 01 Oct 2014 21:00:00 +0000

In reply to Jonathan Samson. If users already share an existing iTunes account, I suppose the benefits would be the closer integration of other apps and services like shared photo albums, calendars, reminders and location services all in one easy use "hub." If you don't currently share an iTunes account, then it makes sense to use Family Sharing. If you do have one iTunes account, then the most appealing feature pertains to moderation of accounts for children in the Family.

What is the advantage over sharing an iTunes account? Why go from one account to multiple if it works the same as one account?

Comment on Has Apple abandoned the 4-inch iPhone? What the iPhone 6 announcement says about future iPhone releases by Renkman

In reply to David Witte. By "remembering the other half of their users" what do you mean? If you agree that they might not continue to update a 4-inch iPhone model, what would keep you as a customer?

Comment on Has Apple abandoned the 4-inch iPhone? What the iPhone 6 announcement says about future iPhone releases by David Witte

David Witte — Thu, 18 Sep 2014 06:44:00 +0000

I completely agree with, specifically, the end of this article. There is still a large number of consumers who don’t want their phones to keep getting bigger. In many ways, a larger phone just isn’t user friendly. There isn’t necessarily a reason to keep updating the 4 inch model every year, as the article stated. I fully support their jumping into the larger market-they have to. I’m just hoping that they are still remembering the other half of their users for future releases.

Comment on iPhone 6 vs iPhone 6 Plus: which to buy? by robjackson81

In reply to Renkman. Bingo. You're clearly more of the "media maven" that falls into the "I know I need more space" category. So upgrade!

In reply to Michael Bertolino. Not everyone needs that much storage. Not everyone loads games of that caliber on their device. With Cloud storage and iTunes match, I really don't "need" my device to have nearly as much available space as I once did. Plus, there always is an "entry level" device in the lineup. Hell, the iPhone 5C that is free on contract comes in an 8GB option. There are always trade-offs for cheaper up front commitments. One good thing, though, they now offer the 64 GB option for the same price we all used to pay for the 32 GB version.
