Learn More about your Mac through iTunes.
In the ever present quest for Mac knowledge, many Small Dog customers have been looking to books, classes and even Small Dog consultants for help. Thanks to a very informative customer by the name of Jeff Marcotte, we have discovered yet another fantastic way to further your Mac knowledge. It comes in the form of tutorial website which uses the amazing podcast technology built into iTunes to broadcast video tutorials.
Screen Cast Online is a fantastic online resource for a multitude of Mac-based video tutorials that you can watch and learn with right through your iTunes library. By accessing the Free Shows tab in the right menu, iTunes will automatically open up to the Screen Cast section and give you a large list of video tutorials that you can download to your podcast list.
From there, you can view them just like you would a TV show that you download from the iTunes Store. Additionally, if you sign up for a paid membership you can get all your tutorials with bonus footage in High Definition quality. Since they are all stored in iTunes, you also have the ability schedule your computer to download the tutorials automatically.
So if you would like to learn more about your Mac, there are now four very helpful ways to do this:
1) Purchase a instructional book
2) Sign up for one of Small Dog Electronics’ Mac based classes
3) Sign up for a in-store or at home consultant
and now,
4) Log on to ScreenCastOnline.com and look for video tutorials that suit your needs.
The iPhone will now be in 70 countries, but not Vermont. Just does not make sense.
It’s a crying shame VT has to to sit on the sidelines, jealously waiting to get a chance at the iPhone. I check the small dog blog almost daily to see if there are any updates, please keep us in the loop if you hear anything! Thanks!
This morning in the illustrious Free Press, the state AG was quoted as saying that the AT&T & Verizon deal is off because of three counties in the southern part of the state not have access to choice of carrier. The article said that the state would explore all carriers and a resolution must be found within 120 days. Once again, the state has moved to stop a positive technology improvement.
I agree. In the grand scheme this is a small thing. But it only supports the notion that VT is still “backwoods”, behind the times and a technological slug. People are leaving in droves and businesses are looking elsewhere to set up shop. Let’s get with the program and catch up to year-old technology.
I agree. Sometimes I feel as if we’re off the map, secluded in our own little world when it comes to expanding our horizons with newer and better technology. I currently live in Illinois for I’m finishing up college out here and bought an iphone as soon as they came out. The problem I’m now facing is that I’m actually moving back to my home town in a year once I finish school. So the thought of giving up my beloved iphone, for me, is out of the question. I’ve talked to many At&t reps about this and even talked to Unicel myself to see if the rumors were true that At&t taking over for Unicel clients (I got conflicting messages as well). When talking to an At&t rep over the phone several weeks ago and explained what my future plans were about moving back to VT, I was threatened that if I use my iphone for a certain period time, they will cut off my service and I will be charged with a large fee! I even asked them if there was any way for me to pay them extra for additional fees that would cover any roaming charges and still, they told me that was out of the question. My father wants an iphone as well and between both of us, we haven’t been able to find out too much information either. I too have been checking small dog blog almost every day to see if anyone has heard anything new about this. Please let keep us in the loop if you find out any new information.
Sounds like it is going to happen: http://www.wcax.com/Global/story.asp?S=8788011
Good luck, Vermont. I live 8 miles from downtown Cleveland in a zone clearly marked “3G Coverage” on the ATT map, and I can’t get a signal. I had a new 3G iPhone for 2 days and had so many dropouts in places where my Alltel worked fine with 4-5 bars that I took the iPhone back. for a refund. Beautiful phone, really bad 3G coverage. “More bars in more places” clearly applies to ATT overseas, but NOT in the US yet! I lived in northern VT for 4 years… I can’t begin to imagine all the dropouts and complaints that would arise from frustrated iPhone users.
is this still happening or what? why must we suffer so much?
Suffer? Come on, this isn’t Anatevka! It’s coming. Really.
is there any new news as to the actual date. i saw online they were hiring for att for williston and burlington town center.. i guess thats progress…
