Along with the Mac App Store came Angry Birds, the wildly popular iPhone game that was then brought to the iPad, Android, Windows, and is now making waves in Mac OS X. If you haven’t played Angry Birds before, it’s remarkably simple in concept, you just fling various birds at objects to try and destroy some green pigs. AirDrop makes sharing files between Mac and iOS or iPadOS devices simple. With just a few clicks on your Mac, you can take a file from any folder and use AirDrop to send it to a nearby Mac, iPhone, or iPad. And since AirDrop is peer to peer, it works without a Wi-Fi network. Download quick for mac for free. Audio & Video tools downloads - Quik by GoPro, Inc.

For nearly 20 years, Apple has offered screen sharing as a basic feature in what was once OS X and is now macOS. This has included a way to share your screen remotely with other people and let them share yours. (At one point, it was easy to reach your Mac while outside your local network and access your screen, but then Apple removed Back to My Mac from macOS.)

The feature has changed and migrated over time—it was once part of AOL Instant Messenger!—so you may not know that it’s tucked away in Messages. It also works only with people who use their iCloud account with Messages, which allows you communicate through Apple’s iMessage system.

You can check that iMessages is in use by either looking at a conversation and seeing blue bubbles for text messages. Or, when starting a new conversation, the person whose name you select as you type in a recipient is in blue text. If their name or the messages are green, it’s regular SMS text messaging and screen sharing isn’t available. It’s also available only for one-to-one conversations.

macOS Big Sur made additional changes to its appearance, but it’s not far off from its location in macOS Mojave and Catalina.

Here’s how to use it:

  1. Open Messages.
  2. Select a conversation or start a new one, and make sure iMessage is in use, per above.
  3. Click the circled-i info button in the upper-right corner.
  4. Click the overlapping rectangles—the screen sharing icon. (This icon will be grayed out or absent if screen sharing isn’t available with this other account.)
  5. Select either Invite to Share My Screen or Ask to Share Screen as the case may be.
  6. If you invite someone, they receive an alert in Messages and can click to start; if you request someone else’s, you have to wait for them to approve the request.

When the session starts, both you and they see an indicator in the system menu bar that screen sharing is underway. You can use the Screen Sharing menu (also two overlapping rectangles) to choose Disconnect and end the session on either side.

One reader asked recently about a problem they had when someone sent them an Ask to Share Screen request. They have two Macs logged into the same Apple ID account with Messages. The “wrong” machine received the request. The reader put that Mac to sleep, and their counterpart tried again. It still didn’t work.

Apple sometimes has a problem with presence, which is figuring out where you currently are among multiple devices connected to the same account. This is certainly one of those problems, and person-to-person screen sharing doesn’t let you target another person’s devices, only their account.

The answer in that situation is to select Invite to Share My Screen from the appropriate Mac that you want to share from. The service is essentially always symmetrical, so if someone can request access, you can offer it, too.

For unattended remote access to your own devices, we published a round-up of popular tools about 18 months ago.

Quick And Angry Mac Os Update

Angry Birds is and engaging and absorbing arcade game that will test your aiming skills as you try to help the birds hunt down the bad piggies who run away with the bird's eggs.

Angry Birds is a multi-platform game that you can easily buy and install on your Mac via the App Store for only $4.99. The installation process is pretty straightforward and will take approximately 70 MB of your Mac's hard disk.

Angry Birds comes with easy-to-learn game controls and various themed episodes each with numerous challenging levels that you must complete using the available weapons in order to revenge the birds and grab a high score.

Your main objective is to use the bird's destructive abilities and powers to destroy the pigs' defense mechanisms.

Thanks to the intuitive and addictive gameplay you will be able to enjoy countless hours of physics-based castle demolition.

In order to successfully complete all levels you will have to use your logic, shooting and aiming skills and mix them with the birds' abilities and powers to defeat the bad piggies.

Each bird has its own ability and destructive power and, as a result, you have to learn how to use them and try to lose as few birds as possible as you take out all piggies.

At the end of each level you will be able to view your score and the number of starts you deserve according to your game performance.

The enemy grounds is also filled with helping structure elements such as glass walls, TNT boxes and rocks that are waiting to fall onto wooden or glass shelters.

You also have to take down rock walls and use various combinations of birds in order to reach heavily protected piggies.

All in all, Angry Birds is an enthralling arcade game that will put your logic and gaming skills to a test as you try to ensure the survival of the birds.
