  • Reminders Tip

    I have mentioned before that I have rediscovered just how useful Reminders can be. I do find that this is one of those apps that you either use all the time or perhaps very little. But, when you do become a loyal user, you’ll wonder what you ever did without your reminders! Here is a quick tip, or perhaps, a nudge to get you to try to use Reminders. I am a big fan!

    Do you create reminders with Siri on the iPhone? Those reminders are automatically added to your default list, which you set in Settings > Reminders > Default List. That’s great generally—“Hey Siri, remind me to update watchOS tonight at 11 PM”—but less effective when, for example, you want to maintain different shopping lists. Just for instance, create a list called “Grocery,” and then you can tell Siri, “Put chocolate-covered bacon on my Grocery list.” Want to get fancy? Make a list called “Hardware,” and then tell Siri, “Add birdseed to my Hardware list, and remind me when I arrive at Home Depot.” You may have to pick the correct Home Depot location from a list, but then you’ll receive an alert reminding you to buy birdseed when you pull into the parking lot. To look at any list via Siri, just say something like “Show my Grocery list.”

  • AppleCare+ an Essential Service

    I know, you go to the big box store and the first thing they ask you is whether you want the “extended” warranty. I mean, I even get crank calls on my iPhone from people trying to sell me an extended warranty on my leased Chevy Volt.

    Well, I am here to tell you once again that AppleCare+ is different and is an essential tool for your digital lifestyle. AppleCare+ is available for almost all Apple products whether that is your Mac, your Apple Watch or that new HomePod you will be buying from Small Dog as soon as Apple deems us worthy to carry it.

    In the case of your Mac, AppleCare+ extends your hardware coverage from 1-year, which comes with any new or Apple refurbished Mac, to 3-years. You also get 3-years of coverage if you opt for the Apple Watch Edition or Apple Watch Hermés.

    For all the other Apple products, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple TV and iPod touch the coverage takes that 1-year warranty and extends it to 2-years.

    This longer hardware coverage is important because just about any repair to these devices is likely to cost way more than the cost of AppleCare+.

    But it doesn’t stop there! One of the most useful and most used features of AppleCare+ is access to world-class Apple technical support. All new Apple products come with only 90-days of free support. After that you need to supply a credit card to even talk to anyone. With AppleCare+, you extend that free technical support for 2 or 3 years depending upon your device.

    Need help backing up your data? Have questions about iOS security? AppleCare+ ensures you have someone to call 24/7.

    But what about the + (plus)? It is AppleCare+ after all! The + covers accidental damage coverage to your Apple device, subject to a reasonable deductible. So many times customers bring us devices that got dropped, run over, had a wine experience, etc. In the past, we just would have to break the news that the device was toast and quote the replacement cost. Now with AppleCare+ accidental damage coverage, Apple allows up to two incidents of accidental damage and, for a reasonable fee, they will repair or replace the damaged device.

    Oh, one more thing. AppleCare+ also allows for Express Replacement Service for your iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. AppleCare+ will send you a replacement device right away and also include prepaid packaging to return the damaged device.

    AppleCare+ is an essential tool and can reduce digital anxiety, too!

  • Winter is definitely over here in the Keys after last month’s frigid 59 degrees. It has warmed up again and another string of upper 70s and sunshine is in the forecast. Meanwhile, in Vermont, Emily couldn’t even drive her car the 3 miles to get to her house and had to have her husband come plow the way for her as good dump of snow hit Vermont.

    Finally got my garden-shed-in-a-box delivered, and Grace and I will be seeing if two old fogies can put it together without any left over pieces.
