How To Fix “The Required File Cannot Be Found” Error When Syncing an iPhone or iPod Touch
Every since I had to restore my iPhone 4 from a backup, I have been having a pesky error message popping up each and every time I would sync my iPhone with iTunes on my Mac. It cryptically said “The iPhone [insert your iPhone name here] cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found.” […]
Recall or “Stop Gap” Fix? My Thoughts on the Upcoming Apple Press Event Around the iPhone 4 Antenna Issues
Of course I want to jump into the speculation/rumor mill on what Apple will be talking about tomorrow (July 16, 2010) at a hastily called Press Conference around the iPhone 4 (and issues therein).

How To Make iPhoto or Picasa Recognize your Camera Again
Recently, I tried to download some photos from a small, older and somewhat, war-scarred point & shoot digital cameral (HP Photosmart M632) which I carry around in my backpack wherever I go.

Fix-it: SBS 2003, 16 gig Exchange Limit, Event IDs 9175 and 445
Ran into a complicated emergency today. An office that I support suddenly could not connect any of their Outlook clients to their Exchange Server. It was very weird and I got sidetracked by the fact that my own ISP was having email issues with my domain (turned out they were completely unrelated). Before I get […]
WordPress: People can view your Plugin Folder unless you fix!
As I was working on the update to my blog theme, I found a security hole that I think has existed for a long time in WordPress. While not incredibly devastating, nor directly tied to “code” within WordPress, it is a hole that is very easy to fix. The concern is more with KNOWING the […]
Fix-it: How to remove a document stuck in your Printer Queue
Recently when I was setting up a client’s computer with Windows Printer Sharing, I ran into an issue where a document was stuck in the print queue and was brining the system down to a crawl.
