This week on Mac Geek Gab, you’re climbing to new heights—literally and geekily—with Pilot Pete, Adam Christianson, and Dave Hamilton. With big, 6,000-foot energy, you’ll inhale knowledge (not bear spray!) with Quick Tips like disabling auto-return to apps, blazing through iPhone setup using a wired Phone-to-Phone connection, and printing photo books via third-party tools. You’ll also learn how to save iPhone pics directly to an SD card and how macOS 26’s Notes app now exports Markdown—yes, really. And don’t forget to check those “Notify When Left Behind” settings in Find My, unless you want to get caught.
Dig deeper with listener questions about upgrading to iOS/macOS 26, tracking down mystery image libraries, and setting up lossless audio with Spotify Premium. There’s also a nod to the new “Carrot, the Musical,” and a reminder that on this show, We Don’t Personality Shame. Need to help your family remotely? You’ve got Tailscale, Jump Desktop, and even Messages’ built-in screen sharing. This episode is packed with practical answers, absurd moments, and the classic Mac Geek Gab motto: Don’t Get Caught.
