If you own an Apple Watch you’re probably already familiar with the relatively slow process of updating watchOS on an Apple Watch. Some simple updates may install in a reasonable amount of time, but some of the larger watchOS updates can take an hour or much more. As a result, many Apple Watch owners will either postpone software updates indefinitely or install software updates to watchOS overnight, or when they know they won’t need their watch anytime soon.
But there’s another option, and you can actually speed up the watchOS software update process quite a bit by using a little trick.
Apple has released the fourth beta versions of macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 and iOS 11.4.1, along with beta updates to watchOS and tvOS, to users who are enrolled in the beta testing program for current generation system software.
These beta builds are different from the simultaneous beta testing builds for next generation system software, including macOS Mojave 10.14 and iOS 12.
Apple has released a collection of helpful design resources that encompass various UI elements of iOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS.
User Interface elements including the Home Screen, notifications, various screens, controls, buttons, glyphs, and views are available through the freely available templates, making it simple to mockup and design an app with visual accuracy.

Do you have an older Mac that you still use? Or maybe an older retro Mac is sitting in a closet that you’d like to dust off and get some use out of?

iPhone and iPad users can hide apps that were purchased or downloaded from the App Store of iOS. By hiding an app in the App Store, it will not appear in the App Store updates section, and it will not appear to have been downloaded before.
Likewise, iPhone and iPad users can also unhide any previously hidden purchased app from the iOS App Store again, thereby regaining access to download the app and having it appear in the App Store as usual again.
Apple has released the second beta version of iOS 12 to iPhone and iPad users who are testing the next generation iOS system software release.
Apple has released the second developer beta version of macOS Mojave 10.14 for Mac users participating in the Mac OS beta system software testing program.
Some adventurous Mac users have installed macOS Mojave 10.14 beta onto their compatible computers, whether for development or testing purposes. While running beta system software can be interesting and exciting, it can also be buggy, less stable than expected, or have some incompatibilities which make consistent use to be impractical or impossible, thus it may be desirable for some to downgrade from MacOS Mojave 10.14 beta and back to a stable build of MacOS system software.
We will cover how you can easily downgrade from MacOS Mojave beta to revert back to another version of MacOS.

If you’re a regular VirtualBox user, you may appreciate knowing how to convert an ISO image file (.iso) into a VDI Virtual Box image file (.vdi). Converting an iso to vdi is different from simply booting VirtualBox from an iso, instead it is taking an .iso image, for example of a live boot image, and then converting that itself to a .vdi VirtualBox virtual disk image. This is useful for many reasons, whether to customize that image file, or for administration or testing purposes.
This guide will show you how to convert an iso image to a VirtualBox VDI disk image by using the command line on the Mac, but it should work the same with VirtualBox command line tools for Windows and Linux too.
Age Of Empires was a classic real time strategy game set in ancient history, where players would build villages that blossomed into cities, all while amassing resources, managing a functioning economy, and building an army to defend your territory, explore, or take-over new lands. Once upon a time Age of Empires used to exist for the Mac as well as the PC, but nowadays that is no longer the case.
If you’re a Mac user who longs for Age of Empires style of gameplay on a modern Mac, then you’re not completely out of luck, because you can play a game called 0 A.D. instead and it’s a pretty great RTS, sort of like a modern Age of Empires clone.
