Apple Adds File, Contact, and Calendar Recovery Feature to iCloud.com ➝

Steven Sande, writing for Apple World Today:

iCloud.com is the web-based portal for many of the apps built into OS X and iOS. A new feature provides a way for iCloud users to recover deleted files, contacts, calendars and reminders from iCloud on the web, making the service even more useful.

It’s like Time Machine for iCloud.

How to Get Rid of Pop-Up Ads and Adware on Your Mac ➝

A great guide by Dennis Sellers who recently joined the Apple World Today team. My fiancée’s sister had problems with unwanted pop-up ads on her iMac a few weeks ago and I had to walk her through these steps over the phone. It would have been much easier to send her a link to this guide rather than fumbling my way through Safari’s preferences — an interface which I rarely interact with.

Apple Unifies Developer Accounts ➝

Steve Sande, writing for Apple World Today:

Now, for just US$99 per year, developers get access to beta releases and SDKs for OS X, iOS and watchOS. For those of us who used to spend $198 annually to maintain both dev accounts, this is a welcome piece of news.

Alongside this change, developers can no longer build Safari extensions for free. Unfortunately, a paid developer account is now required.

Scheduling an Apple Watch Try-On Appointment ➝

Steve Sande shows you how to schedule an Apple Watch try-on appointment in Apple’s online store or the Apple Store app. Depending on how my weekend schedule lines up (and whether or not I really want to take a 2+ hour drive), I might make an appointment for this Sunday.

Forgive me for neglecting to link to the spiritual successor of TUAW, Apple World Today. The new site, written and produced by Steve Sande, Dave Caolo, and Kelly Hodgkins, launched earlier this month and is being partial supported by readers on Patreon.

I subscribed to the RSS feed as soon as the site launched and encourage you to do so as well.
