You’ve seen the linkbait…er, headlines: “Apple Loses Ability to Innovate,” “New Apple Products Tread Water,” and, of course, the now-perennial “Is a Jobs-less Apple Doomed?” Where’s the excitement, where’s the pizzazz? This year saw iterated iOS devices, Macs, and operating systems. Ho and hum, right? Wrong. If you believe in a strategy of planning your future in weeks, months, and years rather than just reacting to what the other guy is doing, Apple is right on course. This year’s Apple crop reminds me of the release of OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), when the company concentrated on under-the-hood technologies that would serve the Mac well in the future. How are today’s products similar? Here’s a rundown. iPhone 5s Not just a faster phone, the iPhone 5s has interesting capabilities. (See…

For nearly three decades, the personal computer market has been all about more: more speed, more RAM, more pixels, more features. And sure enough, when Apple introduced OS X Mavericks at this year’s Worldwide Developers Conference, the company highlighted plenty of the operating system’s new capabilities, such as iCloud Keychain and better support for multiple displays. The keystone of Apple’s tenth release of OS X, however, is firmly in the less category—specifically, a dramatic reduction in power consumption. Apple achieves this feat through all sorts of cool software tricks, such as exerting more control over the way apps run in order to increase CPU idle time, and throttling down apps that are not actively in use. Apple says these changes could boost the average MacBook’s battery life by 50 percent;…

NEWS/ENTERTAINMENT Hourly News 1.1 4.5/5.0; $3; NPR; hourlynewsapp.com When you work at home, you gain a lot of nice benefits—you even lose your commute. But as reviled as the extra hours we spend in the car or on public transportation can be, without them you lose time to catch up on Twitter, your latest book, recent podcasts, or NPR. If it’s your daily news dose you’re missing, Hourly News 1.1 is a great way to get it. Hourly News appears in the menu bar as an unassuming Play button; click it, and the app automatically loads NPR’s latest 5-minute hourly news update. Also available are a number of other English-language news podcasts or sources, including the BBC News Summary, Bloomberg Market Minute, CBC Hourly Edition, DW Radio News, ESPN SportsCenter,…

Released in September, the iPhone 5s contains two major hardware improvements: a faster processor (the A7) with 64-bit architecture, and a new motion co - processor (the M7) that gathers data from your device’s sensors. While these under-the-hood features might not sound very fancy to the average consumer, they have iOS developers buzzing over the implications of these upgrades. We asked several of them to share their thoughts about the iPhone 5s’s hardware enhancements. iOS 7 Goes 64-Bit Apple’s new A7 ARM chip powers the iPhone 5s. Not only is the A7 twice as fast as the iPhone 5’s A6 chip, according to the company, but it also delivers at least as much battery life between charges. The A7 is also the first smartphone chip to have 64-bit architecture. “I…

TWO NEW PHONES + iOS 7 = A BIG LEAP FORWARD EVERY FALL FOR THE PAST few years, Apple has released both a new iPhone and a new iPhone operating system (iOS). And, with each new generation of iPhone, it kept the previous two generations around and lowered their prices. This year, Apple messed with that playbook. It released two new iPhones: the high-end iPhone 5s and the more affordable iPhone 5c. And, instead of releasing a new iOS that was a gently upgraded version of the last, it gave iOS a drastic head-to-toe makeover. The result was one of the biggest revamps of the iPhone platform since it debuted six years ago. If you haven’t decided which new phone is right for you or haven’t started exploring what your…

The experience of switching to iOS 7 is a bit like an American going to Europe: Some things might look superficially different at first, but beneath the unfamiliar veneer, things are fundamentally similar to what you’ve known. It may take some time to get used to the changes in iOS 7—just as many of us struggled to adapt to Apple’s “natural” scrolling back in OS X Lion—but after about a week, you’ll be back to tapping and swiping like an expert. Which is not to say that iOS 7 is just a face-lift. As busy as Apple’s design team has been creating a new visual language for iOS, the company’s software team has been equally active creating new features and new ways for users to get more done with less…

No matter how proficient you are with OS X and the apps that run on it, you’ll occasionally need a helping hand. Included with OS X, Help is available as the rightmost menu in every app. You can also press command-<Shift>-/ to jump to it. For starters, OS X’s Help lets you dig through menus and submenus quickly. Type label in the field, for example, and at the top of the results you’ll see the various items in Finder menus containing the word label. Hover over one of these entries, and the menu item will display with a big blue arrow (see “Menu Navigator”). Help’s helpfulness doesn’t stop there. Here are several other ways you can make your help-seeking more efficient. Save bookmarks: You can bookmark any help topic. Click…

Items in your iTunes library need tags, or bits of information that identify them and help iTunes organize and sort them properly. These tags (aka metadata) tell iTunes what a file is: the type of file (music, movie, ebook, and so on), its name or title, and more. You need these tags to choose items, and to create smart playlists. Here’s how best to tag files in iTunes. View and Change Tags Music or other content from iTunes (and other sources) will most likely already be tagged. And when you rip your own CDs, iTunes can look for tagging information online and fill in many of the tags for you. But sometimes tags are missing. To view and edit tags, begin by selecting one or more files and then pressing…

Hardware TiVo Roamio 4.0/5.0, $400 (Plus); 3.5/5.0, $600 (Pro); 3.0/5.0, $200 (Roamio); TiVo; tivo.com TiVo Roamio boxes can record up to six shows simultaneously, stream live TV and recordings to iOS devices, and play streaming Amazon Instant Video, Hulu Plus, Netflix, and YouTube video. They’re the closest thing to an all-in-one TV hub yet invented. The $200 Roamio is the base model. It’s physically smaller, and has the least amount of storage: 500GB (Tivo’s estimate is 75 hours of HD video). This low-end model is the only one with an off-air ATSC tuner—you can plug in an antenna and record TV freely from the public airwaves. It lacks the built-in streaming capabilities of the two pricier models; you need a $130 TiVo Stream add-on box to enable those features. And…

The 12th edition of Adobe’s consumer video-editing program Premiere Elements (go.macworld.com/premiereelements12) is a strong contender for the title of homevideo-editing champ. Version 12 delivers sound effects, a dynamic soundtrack, a motion-tracking feature, and an interface makeover. Guided Mode Debuts New to Premiere Elements, Guided Mode takes you through such common tasks as importing a video, adding a soundtrack, and trimming clips. To help novice video editors avoid flipping between windows, it highlights the correct buttons in the interface. Other parts of the interface are unchanged from Premiere Elements 11. Version 12 also adds new cartoon and other sound effects, and a soundtrack feature to create a custom music track from 52 scores in seven categories. When you make a score from these, it is customized to the length of your…

You may not want to admit it, but you probably never post a photo to a social network without doing at least a little work. It doesn’t have to be the full-on treatment, of course, but cropping, exposure fixes, and maybe a little sharpening are de rigueur before you let the world see even a snapshot. Google gets that. And now it has made using such enhancements almost as easy as relying on the service’s Magic Wand (auto enhance function) by integrating the famed Snapseed photo editor (go.macworld.com/snapseed) into Google+ for Chrome. Raising the Profile This development should come as no surprise. Snapseed, a photo editor created by Nik Software, has long been a favorite of mobile snapshooters; and when Google acquired the company last year, the new owner obviously…

Q: I’ve recently returned from a vacation with a lot of pictures stored on my camera. I’d like to view those images on my Apple TV, but I don’t see an entry other than Photo Stream. How can I stream my pictures from iPhoto to my Apple TV? Via the Internet A: First, launch iTunes on your Mac, and then click File → Home Sharing → Choose Photos to Share With Apple TV. In the Photo Sharing Preferences window that appears, enable the Share Photos From option and confirm that iPhoto is selected in the pop-up menu next to it. To share all your pictures, enable the All photos, albums, events and faces option. If instead you wish to share particular items, enable the next option, Selected albums, events and…

It’s hard to believe, but the holidays are fast approaching, and with them come gear gifts aplenty. This month, our readers talk about gift ideas for Mac users, discuss Touch ID, and reflect on OS X Mavericks. TOUCH ID: GOOD AND BAD The typical person who’d attempt to steal an iPhone is most likely not savvy enough to do what the Germans claim to have done. The biggest problem would be getting the owner’s clean fingerprint to use. Second, even if the clear fingerprint was retrieved, good luck guessing the owner’s iCloud password to disable Find My iPhone to get past the Activation Lock. Redgeminipa, via Macworld.com I have multiple iOS devices at home, and what boggles me is that Apple didn’t make the Touch ID feature more robust. They…

In late August, The Omni Group, a maker of popular Mac productivity apps, announced a tool that would scour a user’s hard drive looking for copies of the company’s software that were purchased from the Mac App Store. This tool, dubbed OmniKeyMaster, would then turn App Store receipts into Omni’s own licenses, giving users access to the company’s upgrade pricing options—which are not normally available through Apple’s sales channel. Alas, it now seems that the folks from Cupertino have, at least for now, put a damper on Omni’s efforts. In a blog post in early September, Omni CEO Ken Case announced that the proposed tool had been shelved due to complaints from Apple. App Upheaval Predictably, the blogosphere has greeted news of this shelving with both concern and ire, aimed…

How Apple Stretched Its Wings With the iPhone 5s Evolutionary or not, there’s a lot more going on behind the screen of an iPhone 5s than just a faster processor. Like most midcycle Apple smartphone releases, the new iPhone 5s doesn’t look that different from its predecessor: A few improvements to the finish, new color combinations, and minor cosmetic changes are all that separate it visually from the iPhone 5. But the latest handset has significant under-the-hood differences from its older sibling, offering clues to the tech giant’s long-term plans for its mobile platforms. (See our full review starting on page 34.) We Have the Technology The first big change beneath the iPhone 5s’s screen is its new CPU. The A7 is twice as fast as the older A6, Apple…

Watching your favorite movies and TV shows is now a little bit easier, thanks to an update to the Amazon Instant Video app for iOS (go.macworld.com/aiv). The new release of the free offering for iPhones and iPads brings two improvements to the online retail giant’s video streaming service. The first is compatibility with Apple’s AirPlay technology, which means that you can now play video on your iOS device and stream it wirelessly to your Apple TV. In addition, the app has gained direct integration with the Internet Movie Database (imdb.com), which gives you access to content metadata such as cast and crew, trivia, and goofs. To round things out, Amazon is introducing a few minor upgrades, including the ability to download multiple files at once, a faster user interface, and…

Reeder 2 for iOS PRODUCTIVITY Silvio Rizzi’s Reeder 2 (go.macworld.com/reeder2), an RSS feed reader, supports all iOS devices. The 7MB download requires iOS 6.1 or later, however, so owners of first-generation iPads won’t be able to install it. Reeder 2, like its predecessor, is deceptively simple. You sync your RSS subscriptions with a feed service and then browse stories by viewing individual sources or by making your way through a single list of unread items. The app caches story excerpts and displays them in an elegant format. You can filter your subscriptions so they show only unread or only favorited articles, and you can add and remove subscriptions from within the app. The app still lacks a search feature, however. The user interface accommodates a slew of new gestures. For…

Apple’s pattern of iteration isn’t smooth when it comes to the iPhone. It bumps along: a new case design one year, more subtle advancements the next. The iPhone 5s is, as the name implies, a phone that doesn’t look that different from last year’s iPhone 5. But the mostly static exterior belies the numerous changes on the device’s insides. The result is, yes, Apple’s latest best-iPhone-yet. From the addictive Touch ID sensor to the clever camera upgrades to the promotion of sensors from part-time to full-time workers, the iPhone 5s is a worthy inheritor of the iPhone throne. ALL THAT GLITTERS I’ve been carrying an iPhone 5 in my pocket for the past year, and the iPhone 5s feels exactly the same: the same curved edges, same dimensions, same everything.…

The best speakers and headphones for Macs and iOS devices. The iPhone comes with a pretty good set of earbuds (as earbuds go), but you can get much better sound quality, and likely better comfort, by upgrading to a set of third-party headphones. And for occasions when you want to listen to your audio out loud, a speaker system is what you need. But among all the headphones and speaker systems out there, how do you find the right ones? To help you narrow down your choices, we tell you the key issues to consider as you shop and explain what your options are. And if you’d rather not do the legwork, we offer up our recommendations for great products in each category. Shop Smart When you’re shopping for headphones…

FirmTek MiniSwap/U3 4.0/5.0 starts at $100; FirmTek; www.firmtek.com The $100 MiniSwap/U3 is a USB 3.0, aluminum, trayless enclosure for any 2.5-inch solid-state drive or hard drive. FirmTek also sells the unit along with a 240GB SSD for $330, which is the version we tested for this review. Installing a drive into the enclosure is simple. First you push the small black lever on the front to release the springloaded front panel. Then you insert the drive (which goes about an inch into the enclosure) and shut the front panel, which in turn pushes the drive into place as it closes. Attach the included USB 3.0 cable and connect the box to your Mac, and you’re done. The drives I installed didn’t require any external power; but FirmTek sells an optional…

Q&A This column is a grab bag, where I answer questions about Genius, sorting albums by an artist’s last name, finding digital booklets in your iTunes library, and more. Q: I use Genius quite often and wonder how it works. Is it similar to Pandora, where music is analyzed and matched using computer algorithms, or is it “crowdsourced,” based on matches done by other iTunes Genius users? A: iTunes’ Genius feature is based on your music library and how it compares to the libraries of other Genius users. Apple has never officially explained the technology behind Genius, but an article in the MIT Technology Review cites a post by an Apple engineer on Quora (since removed) claiming that information from a user’s iTunes library is “folded into a larger database…

One big reason—and maybe the most compelling one—to snap up iOS 7 is to gain the photographic capabilities built into the operating system’s Camera and Photos apps. The new features expand the range of photos you can take, and most of them are accessible and easy to use. iOS 7 works on the iPhone 4 and later, the iPad 2 and later, and the fifth-generation iPod touch, though you’ll see some variation in features depending on the device you have. Shooting 1. The Camera app’s new vision: Apple overhauled the Camera app’s interface in iOS 7, giving it a completely different look, feel, and style of operation, with slick performance throughout. Using the text-based swipe interface is much easier than poking at tiny buttons, as in previous versions, and it…

Fractal freaks, get ready: There’s a new fractal app in town. Frax for the iPhone ($2, go.macworld.com/frax) comes from the team of Kai Krause and Ben Weiss, the gurus behind Kai’s Power Tools, Kai’s Power Goo, KPT Convolver, and other graphic art and design software. In league with fractal wizard Tom Beddard, they have launched Frax as a way to create, view, and interact with the beauty of the fractal universe. And it’s stunning. From pinch and swipe gestures to accelerometer-based rotate-to-fly and tilt-to-steer movements, Frax for iOS features numerous ways to explore the classic fractal forms of the Mandelbrot and Julia sets while sitting on your couch or riding the subway. Fractals describe the mathematical structure of natural geometric patterns in common objects like snowflakes, leaves, clouds, and even…

Use the ‘Paste Item Exactly’ Command in the Finder You probably know that the Finder lets you copy and paste files and folders to shift them around: Select a file, choose Edit → Copy, navigate elsewhere, and choose Paste Item. The file then exists in two places. If you hold <Option>, Paste Item becomes Move Item Here, and rather than duplicating the file, you change its location on your Mac. Great! But here’s the hint: Hold both <Shift> and <Option>, and the command turns into Paste Item Exactly. (Try using command-<Shift>-<Option>-V if you’re dextrous.) This option ensures that the file’s original ownership and permission settings (which you’d set via the Get Info panel, or through the ‘chmod’ and ‘chown’ commands, for example) are retained. When you select this option, the…

Who are you, and what do you do? I’m Sabra R. Botch-Jones, a forensic toxicologist, researcher/writer, and owner of fTox Consulting (ftoxconsulting.com). I provide consulting services for issues related to forensic toxicology. What hardware do you use? My lifelines to the world are my MacBook Air, iPad, and iPhone. Being able to have my devices synced and to access documents with ease is essential for my work. I use Apple’s Magic Mouse with my MacBook. I love how it works on a variety of surfaces—as a mom of a seven-monthold, I find myself working in the oddest of places. A QNAP TS-212-US NAS server containing two 1.5TB Seagate Barracuda 7200-rpm hard drives houses some of my data and eventually it will house more, but I use Dropbox for the bulk…

Snooping isn’t the National Security Agency’s only job. The agency—much in the spotlight lately—also plays an important role in helping the rest of the government secure its computers. In 2010 the NSA published “Hardening Tips for Mac OS X 10.6 ‘Snow Leopard’” (go.macworld.com/hardeningtips), a terse, two-page PDF pamphlet on security precautions. I’ve updated it for more recent versions of OS X. The NSA’s precautions would seriously degrade the Mac user experience for anyone who implemented all of them. For the most part, I’ve omitted the more painful tips. Most of my headings refer to the NSA pamphlet, so you should download it before you go any further. Also, when changing some System Preferences items, you must click the lock icon in the lower-left corner and enter an administrator password. Don’t…

Review RATING 3.0/5.0 PRICE $40 COMPANY Electronic Arts URL www.ea.com Few franchises stir the imagination and inspire the awe of gamers quite like Maxis’s SimCity. Educational and fun, it was the first world-builder video game—starting as far back as 1989—that gave the player unrivaled abilities to play god. From the game’s humble beginning, back in 1989, came iconic titles like SimCopter, SimCity 2000, and the juggernaut Sims franchise. This latest iteration, titled simply SimCity, is both the sequel to SimCity 4 and a reboot. While the new version is in many ways more approachable and fun than ever, the move to multiplayer gameplay also presents some serious issues for players. SimCity’s new engine creates vivid detail that’s unmatched in the game world, allowing players to see individual trucks, sims, and…

Staying on the cutting edge of smartphones just got a bit easier: In late August, Apple launched a nationwide program for customers who want to trade in their current iPhone for credit toward a new one. Apple hasn’t made any official statement about the program, but reports from CNBC indicate that users who want to trade in an old iPhone for a new one must leave the store with a new contract. Apple already has an online service—its Reuse and Recycle Program—that offers Apple Store gift cards to customers who turn in their used iPhones (as well as iPads and Macs or PCs). For example, a used 32GB iPhone 5 in good condition can fetch a $366 gift card—well on the way toward the purchase price of a new iPhone,…

It looks like you’ve sent your last 100 percent cotton letterpress card. Apple has quietly discontinued Cards (go.macworld.com/cards), its iOS-based service for sending photo postcards via good ol’ fashioned snail mail, removing the related iOS app from the App Store. If you still have the app installed on your device, you’ll get the following message the next time you attempt to create a new card: “The Cards service is no longer available. You can review your previous purchases in Saved Cards.” Born in 2011, Cards was a relative of the late iCards, which passed away in 2008, and is survived by iPhoto’s card and calendar printing service. Pour one out in memory of the dearly departed app and service—it was taken from us too soon. We can only hope it…

Belkin Dyle 2.0/5.0;$100; Belkin; belkin.com Belkin’s Dyle mobile TV is an antenna that works with an iOS device. With the Dyle iOS app installed, you can watch broadcast TV on your iPad or iPhone, under certain conditions. The device uses a mobilevideo broadcast signal called ATSC-MH, available in less than 40 U.S. metropolitan areas. Only a few channels come through on the Dyle mobile TV. In San Francisco, five channels are available, and some areas get only one channel. How long beyond the end of 2013 the service will be provided without a subscription fee is another unanswered question.—ROMAN LOYOLA Heckler Design WindFall for iPad 4.0/5.0 $129; Heckler Design; hecklerdesign.com Meant for business settings, Heckler Design’s WindFall for iPad lets you use your iPad as a point-of-sale stand or display…

When a new device comes out, it’s only natural to compare it to its immediate predecessor: Does this thing do something new that the last one couldn’t do? It’s a measuring stick, a way to put the new device into context. And when we’re talking iPhones, it’s a perfectly standard practice. But I think that comparing the iPhone 5c only to the model it replaces would be a mistake. In part that’s because the 5c so closely matches the specs and features of its predecessor, last year’s iPhone 5. But it’s also because of how people buy smartphones in an era of two-year commitments to carriers. If you signed away 24 months of your life to the likes of AT&T, Verizon, or Sprint last fall for an iPhone 5, then…

When you buy a Mac, an iPad, or another Apple hardware product, you get a one-year hardware warranty and 90 days of free phone tech support, starting from the date of purchase. If something goes wrong—other than, say, your dropping your MacBook Air in a bucket of soapy water—Apple generally picks up the tab for repairing or replacing your hardware (at its discretion). As most people know, however, things tend to go south with hardware sometime after the included warranty expires. Often the problems seem to crop up the next day. Let’s call it Klutzy’s Law. To ensure that your purchase continues to work without requiring you to pay for repairs and support as the need arises, Apple offers AppleCare Protection Plans (go.macworld.com/applecare) as add-on purchases. But what do they…

Apple’s new streaming music service, iTunes Radio, has received a lot of attention, as it represents the first time Apple has broken away from the traditional “we sell, you buy” music model. Instead, on an iOS device running iOS 7 or a Mac/Windows computer with iTunes 11.1 and an Internet connection, you can stream music based on a song, artist, or genre of your choosing (or play one of Apple’s preconfigured stations)—at no cost. If this sounds similar to the popular Pandora service, it is. iTunes Radio is offered in two forms. You can listen to streaming music for free (and sit through the occasional advertisement), or pay $25 a year for an iTunes Match subscription and listen to iTunes Radio ad-free. But you don’t have an option for choosing…

Apple recently rolled out updates to Apple TV that add support for the company’s new iTunes Radio streaming service (see page 88), allow purchases from the iTunes music store, support podcast syncing, and provide access to shared iCloud Photo Streams. And you can stream purchased iTunes content via iCloud to any Apple TV. iTunes Radio on Apple TV The new iTunes Radio fills the fourth spot on the top row of Apple TV apps. Launch the app, wait as it loads, and the iTunes Radio screen appears. On the Now Playing screen, you can start and stop playback with the remote’s Play/Pause button. To see more options, press and hold the remote’s Down button. All the data you find within the Apple TV’s iTunes Radio area is synced over iCloud…

This year’s update to Photoshop Elements (go.macworld.com/photoshopelements12), Adobe’s consumer image organizer and editor, offers satisfying new features (such as Content Aware Move), including two—an intuitive image-correction method that remembers how you use it and a red-eye tool that works on animal shots—that even Photoshop CC lacks. Elements 12 Organizer In version 12, the Elements Organizer lets you create mobile albums with Adobe Revel (adoberevel.com)—a free online storage, syncing, and sharing utility similar to Apple’s iCloud and Photo Stream. The free Revel iOS app (go.macworld.com/revelios) also has handy editing abilities. A Revel account gives you unlimited photo imports for one month, and 50 photos per month thereafter (a $6 monthly fee buys unlimited imports). You can import photos into Revel and create mobile albums on your iOS device or in the…

Review RATING 4.0/4.0 PRICE $797 COMPANY Ricoh URL ricoh-usa.com From the outside, the Ricoh GR (go.macworld.com/ricohgr) looks like a typical point-andshoot, but it’s much more than that. Inside its 8-ounce magnesium alloy body is a 16.2-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor that can produce highquality Raw files at 4928 by 3264 pixels. Over the span of a few weeks, I shot close-ups, landscapes, portraits, and movies at settings from ISO 100 to 3200. Though I thought the fixed 28mm f/2.8 lens would be a limitation, I soon discovered that I was just fine with only the GR. It changed how I worked, urging me to move my feet instead of my zooming finger. Basic Features The beautiful, 3-inch, 1.2-million-dot LCD presents colorful, crisp images. For outside composing, the Ricoh display held up…

The Lazy Person’s Guide to Streaming iTunes Movies Q: Okay, I’m lazy. But my Mac is upstairs, and I’m downstairs on the couch with my iPad, where I want to watch a movie. What’s the best way for me to do that without having to plug my iPad into my Mac and sync the movie using iTunes? Paul Inglis A: Apple designed this stuff with you in mind. You have a couple of options. The first requires that, if you haven’t done so already, you sit down at your Mac and fiddle with an iTunes setting. Within iTunes choose File → Home Sharing → Turn on Home Sharing. Enter your Apple ID and password. Keep iTunes running and head back to the couch. Launch the Videos app on your iPad…
