With the recent tvOS 10.2 update for Apple TV, users of Rogue Amoeba’s Airfoil app for Mac and PC have found themselves unable to stream audio to the fourth-generation Apple TV.

Airfoil Satellite TV lets you stream audio from your favorite Mac and PC apps, including programs like Spotify and VLC, to your TV. Here’s everything you need to know about Airfoil Satellite TV for Apple TV.

How to save your parking spot with Google Maps for iPhone and iPad

The latest Google Maps update helps you remember where you parked!

We’ve all been to busy shopping malls, and we’ve all walked out after an intense shopping trip only to realize that we left through a different door than we came in, and we have no idea where our car is. Google Maps now helps you out by letting you save your parking spot.

Here’s how!

How to save your parking spot in Google Maps

You’ll just need to make sure Location Services are enabled before proceeding.

Launch Google Maps on your iPhone or iPad (though why you’re lugging around an iPad when you’re out, I don’t know).
Tap the blue location dot that denotes your location.
Tap Set as parking location. A little white ’P’ in a white circle will appear on the map beneath your blue location dot.

That’s it. Google Maps will save that spot for 12 hours, and you’ll be able to tap it at the bottom of the Google Maps window to bring it up and view or add a photo of the spot. You can then download the spot or share it wit…

How to open an iTunes playlist in a separate window

Give your iTunes playlist a little breathing room by opening it in a new window.

If you’re the kind of music-listener who obsesses over their music library, poring over every artist, title, rating, album, etc., then you probably wouldn’t mind a little more breathing room while you’re painstakingly organizing your iTunes playlists. Good news: You can get that breathing room by opening your iTunes playlists in a separate window.

You can breathe in the sweet, sweet freedom from iTunes’ one-windowed nonsense by following along!

How to open an iTunes playlist in a separate window

Quick note: Playlists stored in your personal library (the Library tab at the top of the iTunes window will be highlighted) can be opened in their own window. If you try this move in For You, Browse, or Radio, though, you won’t get anywhere. Only your local Library can leave the nest!

Launch iTunes on macOS.
Navigate to your Music Library by clicking Library near the top of the app.

Move your cursor to the…

Echo Look — Everything you need to know!

What is Echo Look? Here’s everything you need to know right now!

Amazon just revealed a new Alexa-enabled device called Echo Look. It’s a hands-free camera that combines the Alexa virtual assistant with a style assistant. Read on to learn more about the latest Echo device from Amazon!

What is the Echo Look?

It’s a hands-free camera that features LED lighting and a depth-sensing camera. Using computer vision, the camera can automatically blur the background of your photo so you (and your outfit) are the only thing in focus. It’s a little like the iPhone’s Portrait Mode, but based more in algorithms than physical camera lenses.

Why would I want a depth-sensing, hands-free camera with LED lighting?

The camera takes full-length shots of you and your outfit when you say, ”Alexa, take a picture” or ”Alexa, take a video.” You’re meant to use the device to help you plan outfits and share your look with your friends. I can see this device being very popular among Pinterest and Instagra…

Review: Apple’s Beats Solo3 headphones are gorgeous, but flawed

The Beats Solo3 are super stylish, but lack of noise cancellation ultimately dooms them in my quest for perfect wireless headphones.

”Ooo, shiny.”

After two months with Beats’s Solo3 headphones, this is still my first reaction when pulling the company’s on-ear wireless headset from my bag. The headphones I bought for this review are bright, almost fluorescent violet, with white highlights; they catch both light and eyes almost everywhere they go.

For good reason, too: The Solo headphones made the Beats brand famous, and while they haven’t quite reached the iconic heights of Apple’s white earbuds, they’re still instantly recognizable.

Apple’s W1-chip upgrade has brought easy wireless connectivity and new colors to the Solo line, but is it enough to warrant upgrading from an older on-ear option? Read on.

The music is the message

Beats’s reputation and style carries these headphones: While I’m no audiophile, I can appreciate the overall sou…

Twitter TV?

Would you watch ’always-on, live-streaming video’, TV shows, and more through Twitter? If your answer is yes, then you might love the idea behind Twitter TV.

If Twitter is your social media poison of choice, then you probably know about the recent push towards live video and streaming.

But in a statement from Twitter’s COO and CFO, Anthony Noto, it appears that the app is going a bit further than that…

”We will definitely have 24/7 content on Twitter,” Noto said during an extensive interview about the company’s live video strategy last week. ”Our goal is to be a dependable place so that when you want to see what’s happening, you think of going to Twitter.” Twitter will take some time to reach its 24/7 programming goal, Noto said, without offering a timetable. ”We’re working on many, many things. There’s a lot in the pipeline.”

What’s the point?

Twitter is kind of a big deal when it comes to events like the Presidential inauguration and the pre- and post-Oscar shows, so T…
