"Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new." -Albert Einstein

E-Geniuses is continuing to serve their community as well as expanding their services by offering computer tutoring classes. The classes being offered will teach those who aren’t too confident with their email, photos, social networking, and internet browsing. “It feels good to give people piece of mind by teaching” said owner Joey Mariano. This will be a way to reach out to their community of Burbank and surrounding areas by actively being involved face to face with them and going beyond computer repair. “We want to create good relationships with our neighbors, regardless if they need our services or not.”

Computer Repair Near Glendale

My computer was infested with viruses, so I looked up computer repair in or around Glendale. That’s when I found out about E-Geniuses in Burbank. Pretty much the next city over! Close enough! Might I add, their services were a higher than some other people I called, but I realized it’s about quality of service over there. They even had a monthly maintenance plan, which of course, I had to sign up on, because it was such a helpful service when I encountered problems. It’s pretty much like having insurance when you need it. I couldn’t thank the guys over at E-Geniuses enough.

Computer Repair in Studio City

Finally a good computer repair near Studio City! I have been to places such as Geek Squad, etc aka “waste of time+money”. Let me tell you, I was impressed by the knowledge of the technicians here at E-Geniuses. Too much “know how” that it was somewhat scary! haha Anyway, I brought my laptop in because it just would not turn on. I had no idea what was wrong w/ it. So I googled computer repair near me in Studio City and called in for live help. Fantastic service as I was set up to come in asap since it was an emergency on my part! I have to say I was in and out of their shop w/ my laptop working in under 15 minutes. Wow! I decided to set up a Monthly Maintenance Plan, which was extremely helpful and saved me money in the long run. I am now a BIG FAN of E-Geniuses!!!

Synchronize Your Bookmarks Across Multiple Computers

If you use your computer to browse the Internet on a regular basis, it’s very likely that you have accumulated a good amount of bookmarks (favorites in Internet explorer.) Do you want to be able to synchronize your bookmarks across your computers? With Xmarks, you can.

The first step is to download Xmarks from xmarks.com. Xmarks works on Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari and Chrome. Once it’s downloaded and installed, it will take you through a setup process. Once installed, it will allow you to backup all of your bookmarks/favorites onto the cloud where it can be accessed by any of your computers. If you add, change or delete a bookmark from one of your computers, Xmarks will do the same for your other synchronized computers.

You can also set sync profiles for your home or office. We do not recommend using Xmarks to synchronize your passwords; we use a plugin called Lastpass for that. Here’s our post regarding Lastpass Password Manager.

This is an invaluable plugin if you happen to purchase a new computer or lose the data on your old computer. If you have Xmarks setup, all you have to do is re-download it onto another computer an sign in with your account. All of you saved bookmarks will be pulled down from the cloud onto your computer.

If you have any questions, make sure to give us a call at (877) 694-3648 or visit us at www.E-Geniuses.com.

Lastpass Password Manager

Everyone I know has had a problem remembering a password for a website. It is good to have different passwords for different websites for security purposes, but it can quickly become a hassle to try to remember which passwords to use. That’s where LastPass comes in handy. LastPass is an addon that works for the most popular browsers; Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome and Safari.

With LastPass, your passwords are stored online using secure encryption which means that it is the same level of security as your online banking. Having it stored online offers a few advantages over storing your passwords locally on your computer. First of all, LastPass will allow you to access your “Password Vault” using one password which means you only have to remember one password! (Don’t forget that one though.)

Another advantage to using LastPass is that you can setup LastPass on multiple computers so that it can automatically fill in your passwords to websites on any of your computers. When you login to a new website using a never-before-used username and password, LastPass will ask whether you want to store the password. If you say yes, LastPass will synchronize the new password across your multiple computers.

LastPass will also allow you to have multiple username and passwords for websites. This comes in handy if you have multiple Gmail accounts for example.

You can download LastPass here.

After you download and install LastPass, you will go through a setup wizard that will walk you through step-by-step. You should import your passwords currently saved on locally on your computer. Setup LastPass on all of the computers you want synchronized.

Forget the days when you had to create a list of all of your passwords. Now all you have to remember is one.
