    Bushel, A Great Gift For People That Need To Save Time!

    My dad is a Superman. He makes his daily juggling act look effortless. He plays music, does tons of work around the house and in the garden, he’s always making new artwork, and is pretty much always doing something. He has an incredible green thumb, growing everything from beautiful Southern flowers to pear trees, ivy – and the occasional herb or grape. And these days, he shares it all on Facebook, complete with witty banter and a like for pretty much every one of my posts. Bushel, A Great Gift For People That Need To Save Time!

    Bushel: MDM, MAM, MEM, & EMM

    Mobile Device Management (MDM) is an additional layer of securing provided to a standard deployment of mobile devices. In the Apple management context, MDM provides our customers with a way to make sure that they can monitor devices, that devices fit within the boundaries of what our customers consider to be good security, making it easier to setup devices (by quickly providing WiFi information, helping to deploy apps, etc) and of course by getting a good inventory of the devices you have out there in the wild.

    Can Bushel Control The Screen Of My iPad?

    One of the common questions we get on our online support at Bushel is whether or not we can allow you to remotely control the screen of an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch. The simple answer is no. The next question we usually get is whether we know how that can be done. We do; however, we really don’t like the answer. Can Bushel Control The Screen Of My iPad?

    iOS 9 and Bushel

    Bushel’s Newton’s Pie

    For a truly spectacular apple pie, California is your destination. Or at least, my friend Anna makes the best one I’ve had the pleasure to devour, and she lives in Los Angeles. We made it out to the West Coast a few years back, and our hostess had an evening of sushi, tequila (well, actually mescal), and an apple pie planned. And before you assume the alcohol augmented the taste of the pie, don’t worry, we didn’t consume it all that night. It was just as good or better the next day when we got up around 1:00 in the afternoon. So if you’d like to become a better hostess…

    Make Bushel’s Open Enrollment URL Easier To Use

    Many choose a pretty long company name when signing up for Bushel. The Open Enrollment link is generated based on the shortened version of this company name. This link can then be supplied to your users to make it quick and easy for them to enroll (or add) devices into your Bushel. Some end up with a company name that’s difficult to tell others or difficult for others to type. Many of our customers would also like a link on their site that customers can be pointed to. There are a few ways of achieving shorter, easier, or custom links. We’ll go through two, but there are a lot of other strategies you…

    Bushel: Reset Push Notification Status for an App on iOS

    There are certain instances where an app that has push capabilities stops leveraging Apple’s Push Notification Services (APNS). This can happen for a few different reasons. But there’s no error correcting for this process and so occasionally, you’ll want to reset the app back to what amounts to a factory default status, in order to get Push working again. The first time an app is opened, it will register for push notifications and prompt for receiving push notifications for the app. This prompt never occurs again unless the app is uninstalled for a minimum of a day and then reinstalled. You can duplicate this functionality by simply deleting the app…
