  • By Integr8

square_applepay

There are many small businesses that currently use Square to process credit card payments.  Square has been a real life saver for many of us by making it possible to run cards without paying an arm and a leg. As we all know, technology can help us immensely and at the same time, if we don’t stay current, we may be missing chances to really wow our customers. This post is simply meant to give you all a reminder of what’s out there when it comes to payment methods.  I hope it offers some value.

Today, the stars must have been aligned, or something like that.  Believe it or not, part of my job is to browse through all sorts of social media sites throughout the day.  While I wasn’t looking for anything in particular today, I noticed a video that struck my interest since 5 of my Facebook friends had Liked it.  The first time I saw it, I decided to return to it at a later time.  In the world of Facebook, that’s not always the best choice since one’s feed updates so frequently.  Luckily for me, it was still there, and would shape my plans for the day.

Here it is, the second installation of the iCloud series.  Today I’ll be discussing the newly released iCloud Drive.  If you’re not familiar with this service, iCloud Drive is in short, a place on your personal piece of Apple’s servers.  You’re able to store multiple file types in iCloud Drive such as, music files, Adobe files, Microsoft documents, photos, documents from Apple’s productivity suite, and PDFs.  I could continue, but I figured we should get to the good stuff already.

Photos With iCloud

  • By Integr8

There are numerous aspects to the iCloud service.  It’s becoming more and more difficult to simply describe what iCloud does as a whole without causing even more confusion.  In order to explain iCloud as best I can, I am writing a series of posts to cover the numerous features in more depth.  I have found the majority of people I’ve helped describe their photos as being the most valuable piece of data on their iPhones, iPads, iPod Touches and their computers.  With this being the case, I will start the series off with how the Photos feature in iCloud works.

What’s Going On With This Thing?

  • By Integr8

 

No matter what the manufacturers say, it might seem as though we just can’t get optimal battery life from our mobile devices.  In most cases, this has nothing to do with the hardware, but instead, how we’re using our phone.  Actually, more like how certain apps are using our phone.  Prior to iOS 8, we weren’t able to easily see which apps were draining our battery without setting up a Genius Bar appointment at the Apple Store.  Now, we can get this information directly from our phone by following these steps.

  • By Integr8

safariWith the new larger displays on the latest iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, you might find yourself using the device to surf the web even more than before.  I personally have increased my data consumption significantly because the larger screen is enough reason to reach for my iPhone 6 Plus instead of my iPad.  This isn’t always the case; however, when I’m on the go, it tends to be more convenient to use my phone.  In this post I’m going to share two new features that were previously reserved for using Safari on your computer.
