Evernote – What do you want to see?

Posted on by Posted in Android, iOS, Technology 3 Comments

iTurfapps is planning a series of Evernote posts.  I have given several talks on Evernote over the last couples years.  I often field questions about Evernote.  Which is great, keep them coming.  I love talking about this great app.  However, I don’t always know what people want to see or hear about.

So, I am wondering what you would like to see in the series?

Such as:

- Evernote Set Up

- Equipment

- Workflows for notes

- Notebooks

- Templates

Let us know anything you would like to see about using Evernote.

Please comment below.

Thank you

Instant Sharing Between Mac and iOS

Posted on by Posted in iOS, iPhone, Technology

InstaShare

We are often asked…What’s a good way to get files from my Mac to my iPad or iPhone?

Instashare makes sharing files and photos from a Mac very easy to an iOS device and visa versa.  Photostream is nice and all,  but  you have to open iPhoto to sync the stream.  Documents and most any file type for that matter are easy to transfer to iOS as well.  There is plenty of cloud based services out there to share documents. Dropbox, Box.net, iCloud and the like.  Instashare is just a little easier.  In fact its drop dead simple.

To use Instashare download the iOS and Mac apps.  The desktop app is a Mac only Beta version.  To move files between devices it’s as simple as opening the app on the Mac and any iOS device.  On the Mac just drag and drop the file onto the Instashare app window.  You will then be presented with the available iOS devices.  The same basic process is applied to moving files from iOS to Mac.

The only knock, while iOS allows apps to access the camera roll, the same is not the case for documents.  Therefore, documents can only be transferred from Mac to iOS.

A PC version of the desktop app is not available at this time, but apps for Windows and Android are in the works by the developer.

Email ever get stuck?

Posted on by Posted in iOS, iPhone, Technology

Have you ever typed a lengthy email on your iPhone or iPad, hit send, and then…and then…and then…the wheel keeps spinning and nothing happens? So you exit out of the document, reopen mail, and notice that there’s one document in your outbox. So you open the document and still nothing happens. Well, short of explaining many of the other trouble shooting tips that can be tried here, I’ll share with you the trick I found. I simply turned airplane mode on so that the server would stop trying to pull data. Opened mail so all data would be at rest and then turned airplane mode off. Reopened mail and, voilà, the lengthy email sent! Hope this helps if you’ve ever run into this small snag with iOS mail!
