Mac Geek Gab — Apple Tips, Tricks, and Troubleshooting

MGG 502: Teri, Terry, Larry & More!


Listen Later

Dave and John come out of the weekend with a great show for you today to kick off your week. Some quick follow-ups to clarify a few lingering SSD questions and then it's off to the races answering your questions and solving your problems. If you've been using iTunes for a few years you might have some clean-up needs like listener Teri, so your two favorite geeks talk through that. Then a few things about cleaning up Mail and its rules; holiday calendar management, mixed-mode WiFi concerns and quiet audio round it out… with the exception of your favorite: the tangents! Download today and enjoy!
