As a small business owner, I know the challenges of wearing several different hats during the course of the day. I also run the business using Apple computers, which many in the business world would think absurd. But I enjoy using my Macs and they are pretty much trouble free. I can count on them to work at all times.

I also use an iPhone for email, calendaring, taking notes, and recording important thoughts, such as ideas for blog entries. I came across an article in Inc magazine about iPhone apps for business and thought I'd share it. While I admit they don't fall into my daily use on my iPhone, they might come in handy for other small business owners using Apple computers for their business.

The article in MacLife called "50 Things Every Mac Geek Should Know" has some great information and tips on using your Mac.

One of the many joys of owning your own business and all the freedom that comes with it is that sometimes "those" days don't seem to end. Yesterday happened to be a day that had much planned on the GTD list, but a major interruption took a chunk of the day with it. That interruption came in the form of my Apple iDisk not wanting to function properly. I know there has been a bunch of moaning about how Apple really messed up with the roll out. That is an entirely different conversation that I won't touch here. Needless to say, after a hour here and an hour there, I finally came to the solution. It should have been easier to find in my opinion, but it wasn't. So hopefully this post will help one of my Apple brethren in need of help.

Here's the link to the Apple iDisk "iDisk failed to sync" troubleshooting doc so you can fix your iDisk syncing.
