Ask iLounge: Converting Purchased Videos to 1080p HD

Posted on May 22, 2012 by admin

Ask iLounge: Find My Friends always reports home location

Posted on May 21, 2012 by admin

Q: The Apple “Find My Friends” app doesn’t seem to be working properly for my partner and I. We’ve both installed it and set it up on each of our iPhones and my iPad, and I can find her accurately almost all the time from either of my devices, but when she looks for me I’m almost always showing at home, even when I’m several miles away. Weirder yet, this isn’t always the case… it seems to be hit or miss… Continue reading →

Ask iLounge: Creating an iTunes Match library from an external hard drive

Posted on May 18, 2012 by admin

Q: I’m not sure where to begin here. I have not used iTunes or any Apple products before. I have my entire music collection stored on an external hard drive – about 80GB. Files are in one main folder, then sub-folders for each CD by artist name. I just downloaded and installed iTunes and subscribed to the iTunes Match feature, figuring there isn’t enough room for all of the music on my laptop’s hard drive.
