Mobile tip of the day

Mobile Device tip of the day:

If you are using your iPad/iphone/tablet/etc a lot with young students, you might want a shatterproof case. I highly recommend the OTTERBOX DEFENDER SERIES cases for any mobile device. They are drop-proof up to something like thirty feet and can withstand all sorts of abuse while protecting the tablet or phone. They are also nearly waterproof, so the case will protect against unexpected spills, as well.

iPad tip: Need to move a lot of Garage Band files back to your Mac?

As a music teacher who records a LOT of lessons, sometimes I would like to move a huge amount of Garage Band files from the iPad to the iMac.  This is not possible in iTunes, as it requires that you click on each file separately in the Garage Band APP in the iPad and 'send to itunes' one at a time. It takes way too long. 

Here is the easiest solution I have found yet, courtesy of my tech guru friend, George Litterst:

Using DISK AID (software) on your MAC, navigate to STORAGE>APPS> GARAGE BAND>LIBRARY>APPLICATION SUPPORT>DOCUMENTS

There, you will see a complete list of all Garage Band files on your iPad.

NOTE: If you don't see all of these menu items, go to DISK AID PREFERENCES and check the box for SHOW ROOT PATHS FOR APPS

Once you see all of those files in a list, simply highlight all of them and click on COPY TO MAC, choose a destination folder and VOILA! They are moved to a folder within your mac or on an auxiliary drive.

Happy tech geek ;)
