Daylite 4

Our partner Marketcircle released their newest version of the Daylite Productivity Suite dubbed Daylite 4. Many of the frequently requested features are now available in the newly updated suite. Changes to the interface, licensing, and integration have made using Daylite in a solo to multi-user environment even easier. This is due to the diligent efforts of the Marketcircle engineering team to completely redesign and rebuild the code. Using what they learned from previous Daylite versions and customer feedback this makes Daylite 4 a welcome edition.

Willie the Bee Man Success Story

When Willie -- a.k.a. "Willie the Bee Man" -- first approached MacWorks, he had a stack of iPads for his employees in his bee removal business, located in Miami, Florida and Hill County, Texas. He heard that Marketcircle’s Daylite and Billings Pro work well between iOS and Mac -- and  could make his organization paperless if done properly. I had underestimated his definition of paperless until I saw the stacks of notebooks piling up on my first onsite visit. I [...]

Connect to a remote Mac server with a Windows XP PC via VPN

If you're coming to this article via Google or some other external source, you should know that we covered the use of a VPN connection in detail on our Windows 7 setup instructions.  This article is a guide to help Windows XP users who need to connect to a remote Mac server for file sharing.  We have to configure this through a VPN connection.  We actually recommend using the built-in VPN connection on the Mac server.

Get more from your Mac – Solid State Drives and RAM Upgrades

We’ve covered solid-state drives (SSDs) on a couple other blogs previously, but we wanted to get that information into the MacWorks Repairs blog (our apologies for the new post, but it has more helpful information).  Most people have no idea how much performance a solid-state drive or a RAM upgrade can add to their Mac.  We hope that this post will help you understand that.  If you’re considering either upgrade, you’ll only hear encouragement from [...]

Connect to a Mac server share point with Windows 7 via VPN

Over the years, we’ve set up many clients with a Mac server for VPN, file sharing, Web Hosting, etc.  During that time, the number of “bilingual” companies (I use that term for offices that speak both Mac and PC) increased dramatically.  Most, if not all, of our new server installations ask about PC connectivity for file sharing.  It only takes a few minutes to configure the Mac server for VPN, but the client-side configuration can [...]

Preparing for Lion – Upgrade to Snow Leopard, now.

***Update*** As we have found out since the release of Lion, Apple continues to sell Snow Leopard in their online store for anyone who may have missed it the first time around.  We definitely suggest upgrading as soon as possible. That’s not a suggestion… it’s a necessity. Without sounding like a drill sergeant, we’re strongly suggesting that any Leopard users upgrade to Snow Leopard as soon as possible.  If you’re running an Intel Mac (Core [...]

iWeb publish to MobileMe, an iCloud casualty

MacRumors, a popular Apple rumor site, posted an article today that supposedly marks iWeb to MobileMe publishing as a casualty of the iCloud transition. iWeb allowed non-technical types to develop websites and publish them to the server of their choice... including MobileMe. In an email to a frustrated Apple fan, Steve Jobs indicated that MobileMe web publishing would not make its way over to iCloud.  Apple introduced web publishing with HomePage, part of the original iTools [...]
