Transfer Purchases

itunes-transfer-purchases

If you have any iPhone I’m sure you’ve seen this message when trying to upgrade iOS. Not very helpful is it? Each time I get it I go searching around the iTunes UI for a way to do it. Finally I end up Googling to find the answer: File->Devices->Transfer Purchases

Apple, how about adding a button to fire off this process? The cancel button is pretty useless here. Or, I don’t know, make the Sync operation do it by default! Why would I not want my purchases synced to my account?

Waiting

After airline passengers wouldn’t stop complaining about the time they spent at baggage claim (even when more staff were added and wait times fell) a Houston airport simply moved the arrival gates so that passengers spent more of their “wait” time walking to the baggage claim. The complaints all but disappeared.

Where I Am Today

I was a little sad to hear that Macworld will not take place in 2015. In 2008, while working for SVSU, I went to Macworld in San Francisco. I attended a WordPress meetup, met Matt, and ended up getting a job with Automattic. Without Macworld I wouldn’t be where I am today.
