Fixing the iOS 5 battery drain problem

I’m sure you are already upgraded to iOS 5 by now if your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch supports it. Well, even if you aren’t yet, it’s probably just because you didn’t have the time yet.
It’s only been a week since I’ve updated my iPhone 3Gs and I’ve to say that it’s the best OS that’s landed on the iPhone 3Gs. The performance is great and it also feels much faster than iOS 4.x. Overall, I’m a happy camper that my 3Gs has received a new lease of More >

It’s without a doubt that the very recent release of VMware Fusion 4 and Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac has invigorated the on-going comparisons between the two popular virtualization solutions for Mac users.
Both has its own merits and depending on your expectations and needs from the virtualization solution, both choices will deliver what it promises to you.

So you’ve upgraded your Mac from Snow Leopard to the new roaring Lion. Once done, you browse around your Mac and is generally happy that everything remained working and all the data is still available as if nothing’s change except for the new features and functionality of Lion.
Then, you opened up iCal and noticed that your CalDAV-configured calendar isn’t working and is asking for you to reenter the password. You was sure nothing’s changed, More >

Caveat: This is an updated article which I originally wrote using Parallels Desktop 5 and quickly after that, upgraded to Parallels Desktop 6, comparing it with VMWare Fusion 3.0. That’s almost exactly one year ago from today.
Now, if you are not already aware, Parallels Desktop 7 is to be released on September 6. With this latest version, here’s a revised and updated viewpoint on my comparison between the two.

Fixing the OS X Lion bluetooth pairing after sleep issue
1August 17, 2011
by Ken Ng
Upgrading to Lion on my MacBook Pro was great. It was perhaps the easiest OS upgrade I’ve ever done thus far. While I generally like how it is, there are a few nagging issues with Lion that just irritated the heck out of me.
One of it is that when my MacBook wakes up from sleep mode, my bluetooth mouse would never get paired again without the need to turn the MacBook’s bluetooth module off and on. This was never the case with Snow Leopard! All More >

I recently installed XCode 4 off the Mac App Store. Once that was done, i found that iTunes started throwing me the “iTunes was unable to load dataclass information from Sync Services” error every time I try to plug in the iPad and iPhone to sync via iTunes.
Darn! Looks like the Xcode 4 install screwed up iTunes in some way.
Searching the error on the Internet pointed me to a fix posted in Apple’s support site. It’s basically a guide to remove More >

by Ken Ng
By now, most of you iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch folks would probably already be on iOS 4.3. But there’s one thing that might have bugged you a whole lot. If you happened to sync a huge load of photos via iTunes to your iDevice, chances are, you’d notice that the photos may not fit in the available storage anymore.
Worse still, you may even get the “The required file cannot be found.” error and not able to sync the photos at all!
It seems that More >
To Mac, or to Windows? That’s your question, here’s my answer
0January 5, 2011
by Ken Ng
If you’re looking to get a new PC or notebook, chances are, you’ll be asking the question above. So, should you be getting a Mac or Windows machine? Well, in my humble opinion, the answer is pretty simple. If you are willing to fork out a little more (to get more too of course), then go for the Mac option as I had.
Sure, like I mentioned, the Mac option will be a little bit more expensive when compared with the ‘equivalent’ Windows option from More >
