TommyLog TECH – Spring Cleaning Your IOS Device

Spring CleaningHey kids, it’s Tommy and for today’s TommyLog TECH I want to talk about doing a little spring cleaning on your IOS devise. Last night I was watching a movie with my sweetheart on my iPad. A quarter of the way though the movie I got an error message saying that I was out of memory. How could that be?  I have a 32 GB IPad Air and I should have plenty of free storage space.

Well enough of this, I’m going to do some spring cleaning here. What I did applies to any late model IOS device, iPad, iPod Touch or iPhone.

First you need to make sure you have a good backup. I use Apple’s iCloud service  but you can use iTunes too. Here’s a great article from apple on backing up you iDevice https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203977

After you have verified and backed up your devise you need to reset it. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201274

After resetting, reload your saved settings and apps from either your iCloud or iTunes backup and BAM!

It’s that simple- and welcome back free space 🙂 BEFORE 1.25 GB free space – AFTER 15.4 GB free space.

 

TommyLog – Someone To Believe In You!

Ever had one of the those life defining moments when you realize that someone believes in you? Well over the weekend I suddenly realized who was the first person, other than my parents, to really believe in me and my abilities.

Nothing is better than having someone believe in you– and help kick start your confidence at such a pivotal point in your life.. Well Joe was that very person.

THANK YOU Joe for over 20 years of friendship and believing in me. You and your family rock and you have left a HUGE impression on me!
