You Quit the App. Why Is It Still Running?
Quitting a Mac app doesn’t always stop everything it’s doing. Some apps leave background processes running to sync files, check for updates, or finish other work. In macOS 27 Golden Gate, Apple makes this activity more visible: you’ll see a notification the first time an app continues running after you quit, and hovering over its […]
Beware of Scam Party Invitations from Hijacked Accounts
The latest scam making the rounds preys on your trust and sociability. You receive what appears to be a party invite from a friend via an invitation service like Paperless Post or Punchbowl. The email legitimately comes from your friend’s account, which has been compromised, but clicking any link in it takes you to a […]
Take Quick Videos with the Camera Control
Sometimes you need to start recording video instantly—to document an incident, capture a fleeting moment, or preserve evidence. Apple has provided a shortcut that reduces the effort to just two presses of the Camera Control on the iPhone 16 and later. Press it once to open the Camera app, then press and hold again to […]
Be Careful When Offloading iPhone Apps

Unlike standard notifications […]
Try Swipe Typing with QuickPath on the iPhone
If you’ve had trouble moving from hunt-and-peck typing on the iPhone to the double-thumb typing approach many people prefer, consider QuickPath, better known as swipe typing. QuickPath isn’t new, but many people have never tried it seriously. With swipe typing, you put your finger down on the first letter of the desired word—say “giraffe”—and then […]
Never Run AppleScripts from Untrusted Sources
The latest scam to watch out for is fake websites that try to get you to open Script Editor directly from your browser with a pre-filled AppleScript. Don’t do this! Security researchers at Jamf Threat Labs documented an attack where a convincing Apple-themed page claiming to help “reclaim disk space” prompted users to allow Script […]
