How to Improve Your IPhone Photo's Tip - Enable ProRAW on your iPhone Pro or iPhone Pro Max

On iPhone 12 Pro and later Pro models with iOS 14.3 or later, you can take photos in Apple ProRAW. 

Apple ProRAW gives you more options and data when editing the exposure, color, and white balance in your photo. So more info is better for adjustments etc.

To enable ProRAW on your iPhone Pro or iPhone Pro Max, follow these steps:

Make sure your iPhone is running iOS 14.3 or later.


Step 1 - Open the Settings app on your iPhone and scroll down to "Camera".


Step 2 - Tap on "Formats" and then select "Apple ProRAW".


Step 3 - Exit the Settings app and open the Camera app.


Step 4 - Tap on the Pro mode in the camera app.

Step 5 - In Pro mode, you should see a new option to toggle on/off ProRAW at the top of the screen.




To take a ProRAW photo, tap RAW  in the Camera app, then take your shot.













ProRAW files are 10 to 12 times larger than HEIF or JPEG files, and ProRAW files are even larger if you select 48 MP as your resolution.
, so you'll need to make sure you have enough storage space on your device or iCloud to save them. 


You can always increase your iCloud space and add that to your Apple Subscription if needed. upgrade your iCloud storage plan

How to Fix My Mac won't wake from Sleep - How to disable hibernation mode - works in Sierra OS X 10.12

How to disable hibernation mode

Code:
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0


delete /private/var/vm/sleepimage :


Code:
sudo rm /private/var/vm/sleepimage

create an empty file and name it 'sleepimage'

Code:
sudo touch /private/var/vm/sleepimage


change this flag to immuable


Code:
sudo chflags uchg /private/var/vm/sleepimage

Now, OS X won't be able to rebuilt over your sleepimage file since it is locked.



First, you need to restore the sleep image to its original state 
Code:
sudo chflags nouchg /var/vm/sleepimage
sudo chown root:wheel /var/vm/sleepimage
sudo chmod 1600 /var/vm/sleepimage

To verify, when you type this command:

Code:
ls -lOh /var/vm/sleepimage

You should get this result:

Code:
-rw------T  1 root  wheel  -  4.0G Aug 23 15:01 /var/vm/sleepimage

Then you need to reset the hibernation mode to its system default:

Code:
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 3

You may have to reboot.

How to Remove ADWARE MALWARE VIRUS on MAC OS X for FREE works on iMac, ...





Works in El Capitan, Yosemite and Mavericks

- Here is how to remove Malware and adware on your Mac

Here is a tutorial on the Best free and easy way to remove adware and malware on the Mac

https://www.malwarebytes.org/antimalware/mac/

Is your Mac running slow? Annoying adware, like pop-ups, or malware could be the problem.
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac scans for and removes code that degrades system performance
or attacks your system. Making your Mac, once again, your Mac.
What it does for you
Removes adware, such as Genieo, VSearch, and Vidx
Removes malware, including Trojans
Scans quickly
Simplifies program management through a clean, lean interface
How it works for you
Anti-adware
Anti-malware
Light footprint
Simple interface

Hi Everyone in todays video I am going to show you
How to get rid of Adware and Malware on your Mac
There is a free application out there called Malwarebytes
Called Anti Malware for Mac
and this application will work in Yosemite, Maverick, El Capitan which I can confirm it works
Because it removed Adware from my computer as well as all the way down to 10.7
So pretty much any Mac out there that your running
it will  be able to remove the adware and Malware so
What exactly is Adware and Malware?
Well basically if you are opening up Safari and Google Chrome and you keep going to weird websites
That are not your default page and your getting popups
and your seeing an overall degradation in speed
14
on your computer you may have adware or malware on it and you may need to remove it
So this is an application that will scan your computer for free
and actually remove it and not cause any damage at all
so let's get started
How do you get this application and how does it work
Well the first thing you want to do is go to this website
and I will put this website in the comments
https://www.malwarebytes.org/antimalware/mac/
you definitely want to download the Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for the Mac
and you click on get my free download
and this is actually a full working free copy
it's not like it's going to have a timeout it continues to work
Once you download it, you will see it in your downloads folder
and it will be called MBAM-Mac
Once you see that in your downloads folder
Doubleclick on it and you will mount the dmg file on your desktop
and as you can see it popped up here your just going to simply click on it
and drag it into your applications folder and copy it
once it's copied double-click on the application folder
and look for the application called Malwarebytes anti malware
and double click on it and it will open
and once you do so you will see the screen the same one as I have on mine screen
the next step would be to click scan once it starts Scanning
it will scan all the known Malware that it has on file
and if it finds any you will see a pop up window
now in my case I already ran it and it actually did find one
and it removed it but here is an example
of what it might pop up afterwards
so this could be a pop up window that it shows
where the Malware is, all you would do is click on
remove selected items and that's all there is to it
You would be done, I would restart my computer afterwards
Just to make sure and run it one more time
at this point if you run it again your should get
No Malware found and that should be a perfect
working system, so at least you will know that whatever is wrong with your system
is at least not adware. This company used to be called
Adwaremedic and now they are called Malware bytes Anti Malware for the Mac
it's a terrific application for the Mac and I would highly recommend it
and let me know if it works for you
Please subscribe to my channel and like the video if it helped you out.
and Thanks for listening

DNS flush command- How To Clear DNS Cache On Your Computer - Mac OSX 10.11 El Captain - 2016



How to Clear or Flush DNS Cache in Mac OS X Yosemite or El Capitan

sudo dscacheutil -flushcache;sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder; say cache flushed

Basically the reason you do this is to fix an issue when you put in a name of a server or website in your browser or try to mount a server and it doesn't go to the right place. This clears the DNS cash and then it automatically rebuilds a new one with the accurate matching ip addresses.

In more detail OS X keeps a local cache of resolved DNS queries for a time defined by the DNS server. Sometimes it might be necessary to reset the cache immediately and re-query a DNS server. For example, you might need to do this if you are a network or server administrator and an entry on your DNS server has recently changed.
If your Mac isn't using the latest DNS entries from your server, you can restart your Mac to update its cached information. If you need to update DNS entries on a server using OS X and you can't restart the server, use the terminal commands below for the version of OS X you're using.

El Capitan and Yosemite

sudo dscacheutil -flushcache;sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder; say cache flushed

Or 

OS X Yosemite and later
Use the following Terminal command to reset the DNS cache in OS X v10.10.4 or later:

sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder


Use the following Terminal command to reset the DNS cache in OS X v10.10 through v10.10.3:

sudo discoveryutil mdnsflushcache

OS X Mavericks, Mountain Lion, and Lion
Use the following Terminal command to reset the DNS cache in OS X v10.9.5 and earlier:

sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder

Mac OS X Snow Leopard
Use the following Terminal command to reset the DNS cache in OS X v10.6 through v10.6.8:

sudo dscacheutil -flushcache

How to Clear or Flush DNS Cache on a Mac OS X Yosemite or El Capitan

To flush the DNS cache in OS X Yosemite and Mac OS X El Capitan

The reason you do this is to fix an issue when you put in a name of a server or website in your browser and it doesn't go to the right place. This clears the DNS cash and then it automatically rebuilds a new one with the accurate matching ip addresses.
Open the terminal and Run this command

Make Your iPad a Second Monitor (dual display) 2016



How to Make Your iPad a Second Monitor (dual display) 2016

Ipad IOS app Link

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/air-display-3/id967502646?mt=8

Link for Mac Software - The Free Host

https://avatron.com/applications/air-display/

This third edition of Air Display lets you extend or mirror your Mac computer desktop or laptop onto an iPad or iPhone.

Some exciting new features:

USB:  You can still communicate over Wi-Fi, which is very useful in some cases and allows you walk around untethered, but you can also plug in your dock connector and see screaming fast performance with no perceptible lag. This is great for using Air Display in locations with a hostile Wi-Fi network, like hotels, coffee shops, airplanes, and some corporate and campus networks.

Pressure: You can draw with your favorite pressure-sensitive stylus directly into a Mac app like Photoshop or Motion.

In Air Display 3, they have added support for all of the latest styluses. And on iOS 8, you don’t even need a stylus: just tilt your finger to simulate pressure changes.

Pinch-Zoom: You can use familiar gestures to zoom and pan, which is quite handy at Retina resolutions. It makes the iPhone a useful second display.

Speed: USB speeds up the Air Display connection a lot, but Air Display 3 also dramatically increases performance over Wi-Fi.
