Verizon iPhone 5 Update

By In Tech News from the Web, Tips and Tricks

An update has been released for the Verizon iPhone 5 that resolves an issue where the iPhone would use cellular data while connected to a wireless network. This issue could have resulted in overage charges. To install the update  to carrier settings, follow these steps:

  1. Tap Settings > General > About.
  2. Wait for the following alert to appear:
  3. Tap OK to install the update.
  4. Hold the Sleep/Wake button down until you see “slide to power off”.
  5. Slide to power off.
  6. After the device powers off, hold the Sleep/Wake button to turn your phone back on.

Note: To finish the installation of the update, your iPhone 5 must be turned off and then on again.

After your iPhone restarts, tap Settings > General > About, then scroll down to Carrier and verify that “Verizon 13.1” is displayed.

Apple Releases iOS 6

By In Tech News from the Web

Yesterday, Apple officially released iOS 6.  Some of the major changes you will see are Maps, which includes spoken directions and real time traffic updates, improved Siri, Facebook integration and FaceTime over cellular.  Some features that we in the TSC are excited about are the Panorama mode for the camera, the ability to save pages from Safari in your reading list, and the new calling features.   Now, rather than simply declining an incoming phone call, you are able to set callback reminders or send the caller a text letting them know you will call them back later.

Some things you will no longer see are the YouTube App and Google Maps. If you’ll miss the built in YouTube app, you can still download a YouTube app from the App Store.

We encourage all iPhone users on campus to keep their phones up to date. If you have a university owned iPhone and need assistance, please contact the TSC at techhelp@sju.edu or x2920.  Let us know how you like iOS 6!

National Cyber Security Awareness Month

By In Tech News on Hawk Hill, Tech Training at SJU

October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM). Sponsored by the National Cyber Security Division within the Department of Homeland Security and the National Cyber Security Alliance, NCSAM has, since its inception in 2004, promoted educating the public about cyber security threats, how to recognize and prevent them, and how to remain safe while online.

In a series of articles presented over the next few weeks on the Technology Service Center blog, we’ll address some of the most pressing cyber security issues and how they affect the average online user. These articles will cover such topics as identity theft and how to prevent it, and scams, phishing, hoaxes, and other tricks of the cyber theft trade. You’ll find these, and other pertinent IT Information at:  http://sites.sju.edu/oit/

In addition, we’re also gearing up for a presentation in October entitled Cyber Security: Protecting Your Data – Protecting Yourself. Keep an eye out for these and other upcoming events and announcements.

If you have any questions, please contact  the SJU Technology Service Center at techhelp@sju.edu  or Ben Jezierski, IT Training Coordinator at bjeziers@sju.edu.

The Help Desk is Moving!

On Wednesday, August 8th, the Information Technology Help Desk will be moving to Science Center 129 into the newly renovated Technology Service Center (TSC).  On Wednesday, during the move, our staff will still have email access and we will continue to have staff at our current location in Barbelin 30.  During the transition to the Technology Service Center, you can reach us the way you normally would at helpdesk@sju.edu or by calling x2920.

On Monday, August 13th, we will officially open the TSC  in Science Center 129.

Our hours until the start of the Fall semester will be:

Monday – Thursday: 7:30-6:30

Friday: 7:30-5:00

We will continue to provide updates about the TSC on our Twitter (https://twitter.com/sjuit) and the TSC blog (http://sites.sju.edu/oit/).  Pictures of the construction progress can be seen by liking us on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/SJUTSC.

We look forward to your feedback about our new location!

Student Email Transition

By In Student Technology, Tech News on Hawk Hill

We wanted to notify you of some exciting news!  We are in the process of transitioning your SJU email account to a new email system powered by Google.

This new system will provide email to all SJU students, as well as a suite of other Google products that will enable our University to better communicate.  As of today, the target go live date is August 14th, 2012.

What do I need to do?
Nothing for now. Your old email address won’t change, and you will be able to access and import all of your old messages into the new system. Once we turn on your new Google-powered account, you’ll be able to search and access all your mail from any internet-connected computer.

What will I get?

 

  • 25 Gigabytes of email storage. No more worries about having to delete mail.

 

  • Google Calendar to schedule meetings, create events, and share calendars with others.

 

  • Access to your information from anywhere with an internet connection, including your mobile device.

 

We will be in touch again when we get closer to completing the transition to Google Apps on August 14th, 2012.

Support for OS X Mountain Lion

By In Tech News from the Web, Tech News on Hawk Hill

Apple has released OS X Mountain Lion(10.8) this week, and the Office of Information Technology will test the new operating system before supporting it for the University community.

While the update from OS X Lion (10.7) to Mountain Lion isn’t expected to be as dramatic as was the move from Snow Leopard  (10.6) to Lion (10.7), OIT still needs to test key applications and University systems with the new operating system.

Some common software applications, such as Adobe CS 5, have already been reported to have issues with Mountain Lion. A great resource for checking application compatibility is RoaringApps.

OS X Mountain Lion will be available for free on University-owned computers per SJU’s site license with Apple; there is no need to pay to upgrade University-owned computers to Mountain Lion.  You will not need to purchase this upgrade separately for your computer.

As soon as OIT’s testing is complete, support for OS X Mountain Lion will be announced to the University community.

More details about OS X Mountain Lion are available on Apple’s website. If you have questions, please contact us at techhelp@sju.edu or 610-660-2920.
