Redownload error for free apps?! Here’s the workaround!

Updated April, 2017: Updated screenshots and add some other fixes to try.

While Family Sharing offers a lot of flexibility when it comes to sharing purchases, it seems to be causing some errors in terms of updating and downloading free apps for some people. These apps all seem to have one thing in common: they aren’t Family Sharing compatible. However, since they’re free, the issue can be quite irritating and shouldn’t be happening at all. Luckily, there’s a workaround you can try in order to bypass the issue, at least until Apple can come up with a permanent fix, though I wouldn’t hold your breath — this has been an issue since iOS 8.

How to fix app download and update errors with Family Sharing

If you’re having issues with a particular update, completely delete the app in question from your iPhone or iPad. If you can’t download the free app at all, there’s nothing to delete so just continue on.

How Apple Watch can call for help — even when you may not be able to.

As much as I use my Apple Watch as a fitness tracker I’m continually reminded how much more there is to it. Beyond even Apple Pay, notifications, and Siri and HomeKit. It’s only when I see things like this — the built in SOS feature from watchOS 3 literally saving lives — that I appreciate just how important having a connected computer strapped to my wrist can be.

From The Daily Mail:

Casey Bennett, from Laytonsville, Maryland, was driving home from school the night of April 6 when he was struck by another vehicle – sending him and his Jeep Patriot flying through the air.

Bennett, 22, found himself hanging from the driver’s seat by just his seat belt, but his iPhone was too far out of reach to call for help.

However, he remembered the Apple Watch included the SOS Emergency feature – he held the side button down and contacted 911 for help, who were on the scene in six mi…

Gorilla Glass, Liquidmetal, sapphire, and now ceramic, Apple continues to push the boundaries of materials science through design.

Apple’s product line has evolved through a number of significant material advancements over the decades. Early Apple I computers were cased in wood. German designer, Hartmut Essligner ushered in the iconic, ’Snow White’ design language of the original Mac with the Apple IIc. That off-white, injection moulded plastic look endured in the Mac line for nearly two-decades, until it was supplanted by the candy-coloured iMac that was inspired, in part, by the success of Swatch watches. The company then started to dabble in metals like steel, titanium, and aluminum for the enclosures of its iPods, PowerBooks, and the venerable Mac Pro.

Breathe new life into an old forgotten friend by transforming it into a Kodi media center.

Kodi’s open-source media center is a perfect way to bring that first generation Apple TV you have stuffed in a cupboard back to life: It’s not officially available on the App Store, but it’s still a perfectly legal app to install it on your first-generation Apple TV.

What is Kodi?

A brief explainer from the official Kodi website:

Kodi (formerly known as XBMC) is an award-winning free and open source (GPL) software media player and entertainment hub that can be installed on Linux, OSX, Windows, iOS and Android, featuring a 10-foot user interface for use with televisions and remote controls.

It allows users to play and view most videos, music, podcasts, and other digital media files from local and network storage media and the internet. Our forums and Wiki are bursting with knowledge and help for the new user right up to the application developer.

In the very early days, Kodi &mda…

Today is the last day you can file your taxes in the U.S. without suffering a late penalty! If you’re not sure where to start, here are our favorite ways to prepare your taxes using your Mac.

If you’ve been rooting around the Mac App Store for an app that’ll help you prepare and file your tax return, you’ve likely come up empty-handed — there aren’t any on Apple’s app store.

That said, you don’t actually need an app: There are plenty of great web-based services to help you get your taxes done on time and, hopefully, audit-free.

Note: We will note that arguably, you shouldn’t need specialized tax software or companies to prepare your taxes — the U.S. government has entertained several proposals throughout the years to simplify its tax code, but lobbyists from the top tax prep companies have spent millions of dollars to squash those plans to save their own bottom line. This isn’t necessarily an argument against using these services — many of iMore’s…
