Linking Email Addresses in WordPress

WordPress makes editing and formatting your website content as easy as possible. It also has built-in features for adding interactive links without needing to know any coding. However, in some cases there are specific words you'll need to use. In this guide, we'll show you how to create a clickable email address that will lauch the visitor's email client (Outlook, Apple Mail, etc) to send an email. In short, we'll be replacing "http://" with "mailto:" [...]

iTunes Match definitive answers – what is it, how do I use it and is it safe?

Apple has been a little vague on the features of iTunes Match.  Most of what we know came from the iCloud/Lion Keynote this past summer.  To complicate matters, the press has been stabbing in the dark to explain exactly what iTunes Match does since day one.  Now that it's out, we've had a chance to play with it and answer all of our nagging questions about the service.  We've determined it's definitely worth the $25.

Move your App Data and SMS manually – Verizon iPhone from AT&T

We wrote previously that the Verizon iPhone couldn’t restore from an AT&T backup due to the differences in firmware.  We've seen a huge spike in traffic for that post and it said, "you're stuck."  That wasn’t the ideal solution but, at that time, we didn't know of any alternatives.  After talking with one of our readers (thanks, Matt), we dug into the issue a little bit more.  If your old AT&T iPhone was running a [...]

JailbreakMe 3.0 brings Cydia bliss via Mobile Safari

Early this morning, @comex, @chpwn and @saurik worked together to get the latest version of JailbreakMe.com up and running for the masses.  To be clear, comex is the genius responsible for this new jailbreak, but chpwn and saurik are helping him out as well.  I'm beginning to think that comex is the only person on the iPhone Dev Team.  :D Anywho, if you're feeling adventurous, head over to the website and click the "Free" button.

Connect to a remote Mac server with a Windows XP PC via VPN

If you're coming to this article via Google or some other external source, you should know that we covered the use of a VPN connection in detail on our Windows 7 setup instructions.  This article is a guide to help Windows XP users who need to connect to a remote Mac server for file sharing.  We have to configure this through a VPN connection.  We actually recommend using the built-in VPN connection on the Mac server.

Connect to a Mac server share point with Windows 7 via VPN

Over the years, we’ve set up many clients with a Mac server for VPN, file sharing, Web Hosting, etc.  During that time, the number of “bilingual” companies (I use that term for offices that speak both Mac and PC) increased dramatically.  Most, if not all, of our new server installations ask about PC connectivity for file sharing.  It only takes a few minutes to configure the Mac server for VPN, but the client-side configuration can [...]

Google Apps Password Requirements

Some of our clients are experiencing unexpected issues with Gmail, specifically with accounts that are configured via Google Apps.  Google Apps allows you to use your own domain (@macworksinc.com) for your email address.  If you’re not on a Google Apps account, we don’t think this will affect you. It seems that Google Apps users are getting server errors in their email clients if their account password is too simple.  If you have your Gmail account [...]

Creating a Secure Password

There have been many issues with online security lately.  The Sony PlayStation network was hacked causing members’ passwords and credit card information to become available online.  Another group of hackers recently infiltrated one of the biggest marketing firms in the world and released millions of emails to spam bots (you may have noticed an increase in spam because of it).  Gawker (a news company) was also hacked and released thousands of people’s passwords to the [...]
