Here are a couple of examples from Apple Support about how to resolve problems with this very useful yet unfortunately flawed feature: Mac OS X 10.5: Resetting the SyncServices folder Sync Services: Advanced troubleshooting for contact and calendar syncing There are even more support articles around the web, although I think you get the picture. Let’s be clear, syncing any type of data is not trivial.

Sometimes I feel like Microsoft keeps the Mac BU around just so it can mock and ridicule it. The unit never seems to get to join in the fun when it comes time to release a new iteration of Office . Not, at least, until well after its PC counterparts

They say you can’t time the market, but for some lucky folks, there is special time to buy a new Mac and related accessories. By doing nothing other than waiting for this magic time, you could save an average of 5-9 percent on a new computer.

As a kid, or even as a university student, if anyone had mentioned back-to-school shopping, sales, gear, or anything else this early in the game, I’d definitely have lost it on them. The summer has yet to begin, just let me get my bearings! Still, if I were to make an exception, I’d make it for Apple’s annual back-to-school promotion , during which the company offers a free iPod to all education customers when they purchase a new Mac. The iPod in question, or at least the most expensive one that qualifies for the deal, is the 8GB iPod touch (which is probably nearing end-of-life, but hey, it’s free, and it’s still great hardware), which you buy along with your MacBook when you make your purchases

Wal-Mart wants to grab the slice of the electronics pie that Circuit City gave up when it became financially insolvent, and it’s redesigning its stores to put itself in a better position to do so. Approximately 3,500 stores will be getting electronics department-centric makeovers this week, according to AppleInsider . The redesigned spaces will also feature in-store brand-focused boutique areas, like those found at Best Buy, for Apple and Nintendo, among others.
