Mac Geek Gab — Apple Tips, Tricks, and Troubleshooting

MGG 334: Geeks In Tune for June

Listen Later

John and Dave (and Pilot Pete) kick off June with this fantastic Premium episode of your Mac Geek Gab. Topics are, as always, all over the place based on the questions that you (and other listeners, of course!) have sent in. Some highlights include learning how to zip folders for Windows users without including those pesky hidden .DS_Store and _MACOSX entries, the nuances between logging out and restarting (and which to do when), converting with Handbrake and much, much more. Subscribe to the Premium edition today (it’s just $25 for 6 months), support your two favorite geeks, and enjoy the weekend!
