Hi, I’m Isaac Smith, the founder and editor of PC Glance, a website dedicated to all things related to computers, laptops, and technology. Ever since I was a kid, I was fascinated by how these machines work and what they can do.
I spent countless hours playing around with my laptop, researching solutions to problems, and discovering new software and gadgets. Following my passion for computer and technology I did my degree in computer science and I’ve been writing about technology since 2020, now I am a full time tech blogger.
On PC Glance, I share my passion and expertise with you through helpful tips, honest reviews, and comprehensive guides. My goal is to help you make the best choices for your needs and preferences, and to keep you updated on the latest innovations and trends in the tech industry. I love learning new things and sharing them with you.
When I’m not writing or testing new gadgets, I enjoy playing video games, watching movies, and reading books. I also like to travel and meet new people.
Auto appearance on a Mac follows the Night Shift schedule, Apple says. With the schedule off it stays light, and Sunset to Sunrise needs Location Services. Set a schedule and leave the Mac idle a minute.
A FireWire to USB cable cannot work, and Apple says FireWire needs macOS Sequoia 15 or earlier. Chain Apple’s two Thunderbolt adapters, or take the disk out and use a SATA to USB adapter.
Safari extension switches gray and stuck on iOS 27? For one owner an app with Screen Time access was the cause. Turn it off, switch the extension on in Settings, then turn the app back on.
Live Text stopped selecting text in the Files app after iOS 27? Quick Look is the problem. Open the image in Preview instead, or set Always Open With in Get Info, and the text selects again.
Cannot find the left-handed mouse option on macOS 27? It is in Mouse settings, not Accessibility. Set Secondary click to Click Left Side to swap the buttons, with the mouse connected so the settings show.
Maps still takes up your iPhone storage even after you deleted the app? That space is offline maps, and Apple says they can only be deleted inside Maps. Reinstall it, remove the maps, then turn on Optimize Storage.
Software Update on macOS Tahoe 26.6.2 shows only a Safari update, or nothing, and no 26.7? Install the pending Safari update and restart, then look under More, turn off Low Data Mode and try safe mode.
A name like ematerayands.com in your Mac’s Notifications settings is a website, not macOS. Turn its notifications off, set it to Deny in Safari to take it off the list, and stop sites asking.
Messages arrive on your iPhone but nothing tells you until you open the app? Check that app’s Allow Notifications switch and its own settings, force restart, and if it stays silent, reinstall it and tap Allow.
A new iPhone 17e that warms fast and runs hot on the charger has 228 owners pressing Me too. Warm without a temperature warning is normal, Apple says. An iOS update and two settings helped the owner, and the return window is there if not.
