First, make sure both devices (Mac and iPhone) are connected to the same Apple ID account. Likewise, check that you have an active Apple Music subscription—on your iPhone, go to Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions and ensure that ‘Apple Music Subscription’ is in the Active section. Finally, verify that your iPhone and Mac’s internet connection are both active. This is super important. If internet connectivity is the problem, check out these guides on fixing cellular data problems and restoring a Wi-Fi connection on an iPhone....

The previous Live tiles feature is gone for good and widgets have finally arrived on Windows OS. Microsoft hasn’t added a widget panel just to checkmark a feature in Windows 11. The widgets in Windows 11 are thoughtfully implemented and they are definitely better than the ones Apple offers on macOS. Where Are Widgets in Windows 11 Unlike macOS, Microsoft has added Widgets shortcut on to the new taskbar in Windows 11....

The stock Android player behaves more or less like the Windows Media Player in the Android ecosystem. It lacks features and plays only specific file formats which fall in it’s comfort zone. Already, there are many amazing video players, like the MX Player and the Mobo Player, available in the Play Store. But, today, we are going to talk about an all new video player for Android which has been trusted by Windows users for years now — the KMPlayer....

Like its Lithium counterparts, the NA300 is powerful and can run several devices at once. So, here’s all about the new Bluetti NA300, the first sodium-ion solar generator in the world. The new Sodium-Ion batteries have a capacity retention of over 85%. At the same time, they have a system integration efficiency of over 80%. These features make them perfect for operating in extreme low-temperature regions (-20 degrees).

Cross-Platform Availability Download Apple Music for iOS User Interface This one is important. If a user doesn’t find what he is looking for, then it can be irritating and might lead a switch to rival service. The Settings menu is at the top, which is uncomfortably weird. The three-dot menu throughout the UI uses a transparent theme that looks good to me. Apple Music is straightforward with iOS guidelines. It uses a white theme by default and supports the dark mode in iOS 13....

To make things easy and interesting, while you are working on two apps at a time, I would recommend you give PinTasking a shot.

When you wish to change apps, you can just tap on the bubble and switch to the previous app you were working on....

If this sounds a bit familiar, it is. Bedtime is somewhat Apple’s take on Sleep Cycle, the first and still most popular app in the App Store that debuted to monitor sleep. I remember buying Sleep Cycle for my iPhone 3G, so we’re talking a rather archaic debut. So the question is, now that Apple has its own sleep-tracking feature, should you still rely on a third-party solution? Is Apple’s good enough?...

Apple redesigned the iOS 13 Health app with new interface and features. Samsung isn’t far behind either. The company is integrating more fitness functions in Samsung Health, and recently made the app available on iOS too. There are some other options from Google and Fitbit too. But Google Fit is too basic, while Fitbit requires compatible wearable to operate. In this post, we will pit Samsung Health against the Apple Health and decide which service fits your usage....

Cloud storage solution providers such as Dropbox and Box are providing word-processing software such as Dropbox Paper and Box Notes for seamless sharing and collaboration. Newcomers such as Notion, Coda, and Airtable are trying to change the game with modular approach, but nothing beats a native experience. Microsoft is steadily improving Word experience with more features. Recently, Apple pushed a big update to iWork apps, including Apple Pages. Google is slow in this regard, but it’s getting there with small additions....

Mobile phones have come a long way when it comes to design as well as the hardware. Today’s smartphones have enough muscle to take on an average notebook or a computer. Take the iPhone X for instance. With its new Bionic Chip, the iPhone X can deliver seamless computing without breaking a sweat. But the best part of this new flagship device is its design and the fact that it is Apple’s first step into the world of bezel-less smartphones....

resize, scale or add an effect to a bunch of photos at once. But when the bolt strikes, most of us are in a state of panic and can’t seem to find a free yet effective tool that can ease up the humungous manual task at hand. Of course, not everyone is a master of tools like Photoshop so getting everything done simply enough seems to be a challenge at first....

Organizing Data and Social Accounts With CloudKafe First things first, you will have to create an account with CloudKafe. The service allows instant Facebook sign up but you can create an account in the conventional way using your email....

The good news is that almost any regular speaker (non-Bluetooth) can quickly and easily be turned into a Bluetooth streaming device. The bad news is while you won’t have to buy an entirely new Bluetooth-ready speaker, you will have to spend money. But the options outlined below are pretty inexpensive solutions to bring your speakers into the wireless world. Buy a Bluetooth Audio Adapter The primary device you’ll need to turn your speakers into a Bluetooth-compatible audio system is an adapter....

Start Screen of Windows 8 gives an interesting and colorful view of all the programs you frequently use with the help of tiles. Apps downloaded from the Windows 8 Store have beautiful tiles most of the times to make your Start Screen look visually appealing (you have to agree it’s an eye candy). However, when you pin a desktop application to the Start Screen, all you get is a tile of the app with a small icon in the middle and a dull background color....
