Recover Accidentally Deleted Files From Any OS With PhotoRec [Windows, Mac, & Linux]

In June I switched over from a combination of Windows and Linux to pretty much using OS X solely, and being largely familiar with Windows software (and painfully aware of the lack of many Linux alternatives) I had to replace a few oft-used programs with Mac-friendly alternatives.

Is Your New iPhone Paired To Another iTunes Library? Don't Freak Out Yet

About a week ago I purchased an iPhone 5, and after having two models replaced and performing three restores via iTunes, I thought I was ready to rock. A few days later Algoriddim released their new video mixing app, vjay, and in order to pretend I am one day destined to become a superstar VJ, I decided to transfer some media using iTunes. Much to my surprise, my brand new – and recently restored using my own Mac – iPhone 5 wouldn’t sync without erasing everything first.

Dodgy MacBooks & Scratched iPhones: Is Apple King of Customer Support?

Misplaced brand loyalty – or brand disloyalty as it sometimes manifests itself – is a game I gave up on long ago.
