Argh - any Android peeps use CameraZoomFX? I accidentally reset the default save folder to the CameraZoom folder instead of just Photos and now I have about 15 pictures that won't auto-backup because they're in the wrong place.
I've switched the default save folder back now, but how do I move those 15 photos to the right folder for G+ to recognize and upload them?
[edit: nevermind, got it! I was looking for "Files" but app is called "My Files"]
Jessica, at least I'm not the only one!
Has anyone here had any good experiences with mobile printing/scanning?
I just bought a mobile hotspot to do work on the go, mostly in my car, but I need a printer and scanner that work well with my iPhone and Mac. I've been reading reviews but they seem all over the place. I guess I'd prefer 1 device but I'd be happy with two if they work well.
What level of scanning do you need? I use my ios device with PhotoToPDF app. Works fine for most things. Not as good as a flatbed scanner. But if it's just for your files, more than fine.
Dunno about mobile printing.
Omnis, I tried the photo option a few years ago (jot not, I think, was the app) but it always looked like id taken a picture of something. What I want is to be able to type, print, scan and email legal documents from my car. There are a lot of options out there but none seem to be consistently well reviewed.
Which do you need more?
Doxie is a great scanner.
I actually find that the evernote scan to document option looks pretty much like a piece of paper. But I'm already tied into that ecosystem, so it wasn't going to take too much for me to be convinced to use it.
More about my road setup over in Business. I do carry my hotspot everywhere and that thing's a lifesaver. This year I went further and carried a small router and a usb cellular modem instead.
Other than the Retina display (which, honestly, might be a dealbreaker) - is there a good reason for me to get a Macbook Pro over a Macbook Air? The VAST majority of what I do at home is web browsing, and occasionally Skype or iPhoto. Once in a blue moon I fire up MS Office and use Excel.
I've heard very mixed things about the Air - some people love it and others complain that it's underpowered and overpriced. This one has 50GB more storage and double the RAM of my current 5 year-old Macbook Pro, which is very tempting since I think my trackpad is about to die. BUT I could get a comparable new Macbook Pro (with Retina) for about $400 more, and that would be brand new, not refurbished.
Everyone I know who has an Air really loves it. But yeah, I totally look at the retina screen and get all PRECIOUSSSS about it.
I love my 11" MacBook Air. I have a 2GHz i7 model and it has tons of power. I've used it for video transcoding in a pinch and have done lots of multitrack audio editing on it. It has never missed a beat.
