Apple has sent out press invitations confirming the previously rumored October 22 event date. According to AllThingsD , Apple will unveil a new iPad and iPad Mini model, and likely provide a release date for OS X Mavericks and the new Mac Pro. The new iPad Mini is rumored to have a retina display, while iPad 5 is expected to be thinner and lighter and have an aluminum chassis that is similar to the design of existing iPad Mini models. Both devices are said to run on the new A7 64-bit CPU that was introduced with the iPhone 5S. The event invite, shown above courtesy of AllThingsD (no, we do not get invited to that stuff), is vague as usual, with a brief tagline saying “We still have a lot to cover.”, and the event itself will be held at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco. If you’re in the market for a new iPad, iPad Mini, Mac Pro, or a new Mac in general, you may want to hold off a week to get more details about the new offerings. OS X Mavericks is a great improvement to...

Anyone who downloads files from around the web, ftp, torrents, and elsewhere will eventually wind up with a lot of archive clutter sitting around on their Mac in the form of tons of zip, rar, sit, and other compressed file formats. This is because the default behavior is set for archives to maintain their existence even after their contents are extracted, a reasonable but conservative setting that can cause users to forget about the original archive file(s). Rather than having an unruly mess of compressed file containers scattered throughout the OS X file system, a better solution for many is to adjust the Archive Utility preferences to automatically relocate the origin archive to a central folder after the contents have been extracted, this insures you’ll only have a single place to look for archives and makes it much easier to manage. Go anywhere in the OS X Finder, and hit Command+Shift+G to summon “Go To Folder”, enter the following path the box: /System/Library/CoreServices/ Loc...

Yes, you can still lock the screen orientation in iOS 7 to prevent the display from rotating itself when an iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch has been physically turned onto its side. The orientation lock is now in a quicker access location contained within Control Center, making it much faster to access from anywhere than it was before. Regardless, if you’re a creature of habit and haven’t found the setting since it has been moved, don’t feel too bad. Here’s how to get to it faster than ever with Control Center: Swipe up from the very bottom of the display to summon Control Center – you can be on the lock screen, at the home screen, or in an app Locate the “Orientation Lock” button in the upper right corner, tap on it to toggle ON or OFF The orientation lock button will be highlighted in white to show it is enabled, and a little icon will appear in the topmost status bar to demonstrate if it’s on as well. Some users have reported that the screen orientation is stuck vertically or horizon...

Personal Hotspot lets you share a devices cellular data connection with other devices or computers by turning a device into a wi-fi router, and it’s easily one of the better features of the iPhone and cellular iPad models (and Android phones for that matter). The iOS Personal Hotspot usually functions without a hitch, but sometimes the connection can appear flakey and connected devices will drop off the network completely, or have intermittent connection drops with significant packet loss. This is likely a software problem that will be addressed in future iOS updates, but in the meantime there’s a fairly simple fix that seems to resolve the issue completely for clients who are experiencing dropped connections. The trick? Set the network configurations yourself, which prevents Personal Hotspot from assigning DHCP information to clients, and seems to resolve the intermittent connection problems completely. From the Device Running Personal Hotspot You’ll obviously need Personal Hotspo...
