Sometimes you may need to manually access the passwords or login information that is stored within the password manager, so we’ll show you how you can access and view saved password and login information in the Chrome web browser.

Apple is now offering a savings account, thanks to a partnership with Goldman Sachs. The savings account is currently available only to Apple Card users, so if you have not yet applied for an Apple Card and you wish to have an Apple Savings account, you’ll need to do that first.
Currently, the Apple Savings account offers a 4.15% yield, which is considerably higher than what is available through virtually any other bank savings account.
Setting up the Apple Savings account is hidden and not particularly obvious, so if you attempted to check this feature out before and failed to find anything about it, it’s not surprising. We’ll show you how you can setup the Apple Savings account on your iPhone with the Wallet app.
If you ever find that Siri is cutting you off in the middle of you issuing a command to the virtual assistance, you may want to change the “Siri Pause Time” setting to a longer duration of time.
You can easily adjust how long Siri will pause for a command on the iPhone or iPad, which can help if Siri is not getting the full command request or not completing a note, reminder, or other task that you ask of it. This is also a useful setting to adjust if you speak slower than Siri expects, or if you’re using Siri in another language that is not your native tongue and tend to speak slower as well.

Fortunately, the latest versions of MacOS offer a feature that will detect flashing lights and strobing lights in videos, and automatically dim them. This is a great accessibility feature, whether you’re simply annoyed by flashing lights or if they could cause a health problem.

While Quick Start typically automatically opens when you get a new iPhone or iPad and you’re beginning to set it up, it doesn’t always work that way, and sometimes it does not activate automatically, or at all.
Let’s discuss how you can troubleshoot Quick Start when it’s not working on an iPhone or iPad.

Some Mac users may wish to install GCC onto their MacOS computers. GCC, which stands for Gnu Compiler Collection, is a commonly used compiler with support for C, C++, Objective C, Go, Fortran, Ada, and more languages, and is frequently used for compiling command line programs, writing software, and more, whether for computer science classes or for using command line tools.
The Mac does not come with GCC by default, but you can install GCC onto a Mac with relative ease.
Apple has released the first rapid security response updates for MacOS Ventura 13.3.1, iOS 16.4.1, and iPadOS 16.4.1. The security updates are said to include important security fixes and are therefore recommended for all eligible users to download and install onto their Mac, iPhone, or iPad.
The purpose of Rapid Security Response updates are to provide important security fixes for Apple system software, without having to issue an entire new version of iOS, iPadOS, or MacOS, and thus the updates should be smaller to download and quicker to install.
Apple uses Rapid Security Response Updates to deploy critical fixes to security issues, and these updates are pushed to your iPhone or iPad automatically by default. While this is generally a good thing, since these little micro-updates are installed to protect your device from critical security issues, and installing them does not even require the device to restart, very rarely you may experience an issue after a rapid security response update has been installed on your device.
If you experience difficulties with your iPhone or iPad after a rapid security response update has been installed on your device, read on to learn how you can remove the most recently installed rapid security response update from your iOS or iPadOS device.
