MyMac.com Podcast

Gaz and Guy have a mystery guest that not only is taking over THIS show, but the next one as well! This is a not miss episode of the MyMac.com podcast!

Gaz is not feeling well, so it's Guy and Owen Rubin this week talking about iTunes security and protecting your passwords. Guy has a long talk with founder Tim Robertson about how MyMac.com, the history of the podcast, and what's new with OWCRadio. Owen talks about his experience with getting (and maybe not keeping) two iPhone 4s.

We finally get to our 300th show! It's a trip through the past as Guy talks about the long strange journey that led him to the MyMac.com podcast. Congratulatory messages from a whole bunch of people and we announce the winners of the 300th Podcast Contest! We get our first two callers on the Skype number (703-436-9501) and Gaz talks about sharing apps and folders on multiple devices and iTunes accounts.

Some Twitter feedback from glendallas about some MyMac.com podcast issues and entering the contest. As briefly as possible (and yet still managing to mention) about 10.6.4, the new iPhone, iTunes 9.2, and MobileMe. Also, how we are using our iPads instead of laptops and a bit about our 300th podcast contest sponsors and their products. Gaz interviews former MyMac Podcast host David Cohen!

Some talk about databases (ACK!) and feedback from Reb Bliefernich which leads into a discussion about iPhoto and managing your pictures. The contest for the 300th podcast is soon going to end! You're running out of time to enter for some grate free stuff!

Feedback from Gazzano9 and Steve Calmy (DON'T do option 3 Steve!) starts the evening off and then it's a bit of cleanup regarding fixing some Macs of ours and friends. We talk some more about some of the prizes from the contest. Tonight it's AppDelete and Default Folder X. We discuss some Finder enhancements and alternatives and finish the night with a smidgeon of WWDC. Have a listen!

The GMen start out with some listener feedback from Australia. Gaz has ANOTHER problem with some of his Apple gear. THIS time it's his Mac Mini. We go into a little detail about ProSoft Engineering's Data Rescue and Drive Genius and JoeSoft's Hear gets a mention. Guy fixes his Tae Kwon Do instructor's Mac and doesn't get a roundhouse kick to the face.

Listener feedback and anecdotes about recording the 300th podcast contest commercial (we'll put it out someday…the outakes that is). Gaz has some sound problems with his MacBook that required some major Googling and Time Machine to solve. Plus MacAlly's Amptune, Smile on my Mac's PDFpen, Westone's True-Fit Earphones, Modulr, WiFi sync app, and much more. A MAJOR announcement and a new contest for the 300th MyMac.com podcast! Here are some of the prizes!.

An EXTRA-LONG show (sorry about that), but totally worth it. Guy finally gets his iPad while the UK and other regions get delayed again (HINT: it's most likely Guy's fault!). We also go over some listener feedback from Kevin Bush and our very own John Nemo!. We welcome Steve Stanger of the Mac Attack (http://www.themacattack.us/) podcast and Mac Roundtable (http://www.macroundtable.com) podcast. He talks about starting his own podcast and the three of us talk about backing up your computer, when we switched from the Classic Mac OS over to OS X, what the heck ever happened to Mac User Groups, and iPhoto.

Gaz orders an iPad and may end up getting one BEFORE Guy even though they aren't even available in the UK yet! Guy talks about a cool device (not a sponsor) called the PowerCurl
