Okay, it’s that time of the year for some of you and you received the message, “Your password is about to expire” on your Exchange accounts. You reset your password on your computer and now your account is locked out. Now you have to call the help desk to reset your account. Oh, by the way, you will also see a TARC for the account reset. Which brings us to today’s tip of the day.
Resetting your Exchange account
Did you know that if you have your Exchange email on your mobile devices and you don’t reset your password on your mobile devices you will lock out your Exchange account. You can avoid this by doing a couple of things before your reset your password on your computer. Make sure that you have all of your mobile devices (iPhone, smart phone, iPad, etc) before resetting your password. There are several options at this point, depending on your device. You can turn off “Push” service, put your device in “Airplane Mode” or bring up the account and delete the password (DON’T delete the account). I personally bring up the account and delete that password on my iPhone\iPad before I change my password on my computer.
On iPhones and iPad, go to Settings\Mail, Contacts, Calendars\Select your Exchange Account\Account.
Now, change your password on your computer and then change them on your mobile devices. Don’t forget if you check your email on your laptop to change it as well.
I must be going blind?
I hope I’m not the only one struggling with this problem. I know that my doctor said to wear my glasses to read, but to plug in my charger? Okay, raise your virtual hand if you can’t see the little icon on your cable to charge for your iPhone/iPad. I keep my charging cable on my night stand and in low light, I can’t see which side is up. Try putting a piece of tape over the icon to help see and feel the correct side of the plug.
Sent from my iPhone/iPad
Here’s an old “Tip of the Day” for you. I still see quite a few “Sent from my iPhone/iPads out there. Did you know that you can create a signature on your iPhone/iPad? Go to Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendars/Signature to create a signature for your email. Now when you send an email, it will automatically add the signature to the end of your email.
App of the day: MagicPlan
Looking for an app to layout your floor plan, try MagicPlan (free). It uses your iPhone/iPad’s camera to create a floor plan. Just aim at the corners and it builds your room with just a few clicks. I’m still playing with the app, so let me know how it works for you.
Hope you enjoy these tips. Don’t forget, if you have a great tip or app, pass it on.
