This blog is still active. We'll, it isn't but as long as I still have Macs, I'll keep the site up and running.
I've not been using the iMac all that much. I take that back. I use do use it, but mainly for crunching video and movies that I capture from my phone, my GoPro, and my Emerson Action Cam. iMovie does some things that Movie Maker doesn't. iMovie also tends to be more intuitive. Other than that, the only action the iMac sees is in playing Minecraft (my kids).
My MacBook is barely being used (I do occasionally use it for web browsing while in bed). My Macbook is no longer supported (it is a 1g). I suppose I could swap out the battery with the wife's (my wife's is a 2g and is still supported - but her battery stopped working) and use hers. Or I can throw Linux on it.
I don't think I'm every going to buy another Apple. I love the idea and the simplicity of basic operations, but when complicated issues arise, sometimes even the basic things are no longer simple. As well, I tire of trying to ensure the computers are supported.
But, I should document how to get my music from a backup of my iPad Mini to my Samsung Galaxy Note 2. I've been trying to do that for a very long time. Like a fool, when I installed Windows 8 on my Alienware, I forgot to back up my iTunes stuff (music and such). Now, I can get most of it back via iCloud and via wireless and iTunes, but I'm having a problem getting my music reinstalled that I *didn't* purchase via iTunes. It's a PITA (similar to the issue I had back in 2008 where I dropped and broke my iPhone...got a new iPhone but had a very difficult time getting my music onto the new phone).
