  • Greetings!

    Tomorrow marks the release of the iPhone 5c and I’m sure there are tons of people excited for it. I have been going back and forth about whether to invest in the iPhone 5s or wait until my upgrade is due in February.

    It’s one of those things where you tell yourself multiple times before the release of the phone that you have no need for it, and then it comes out and your mind changes pretty quickly… The 64 bit processor and the fingerprint sensor that allows me to forgo typing my Apple ID password is tempting me tremendously.

    Fall is here and so is another great day of Tech Tails articles. Taylor gives some insight to our readers about resetting the admin password on your Apple laptop/desktop. Chris tells us the dangers of water and Cindy informs us how great the Pages Inspector is.

    Have a great week and we hope to see you in the store!

  • Unsure of what qualifies as ‘ewaste’? As you may know, we use a lot of electronics in our daily lives, and unfortunately, many of them contain hazardous materials such as mercury or lead. When these electronics are at the end of their lifecycle, it leads to what’s known as electronic waste.

    In the last few years, Apple has manufactured devices and machines free of toxic materials, but chances are, you may have older electronic waste around the house that you need to get rid of responsibly.

    We have held free ewaste collection events since 2007, and we collect ewaste at no cost to the public at each of our stores throughout the year.
