If you’ve never been to the Osheaga music festival, it’s a sight to behold. Over a hundred thousand sweaty, happy people crammed into Parc Jean-Drapeau on Sainte-Hélène’s Island, just off Montreal’s southeast tip to watch some of the best bands in the world.

This year, it’s taking place August 3 to 5, and some of the headliners include Florence+The Machine, The National, Arctic Monkeys, Post Malone, Anderson .Paak, St. Vincent, and many, many others. The star power is so studded, in fact, that Apple has decided to bring its Beats 1 crew to Canada for just the second time to air during the entire festival.

UK-based anchor, Matt Wilkinson, who was brought in about six months ago, will spend the three days interviewing some of the biggest artists from the show, which will air in between the regularly-scheduled programming. The last time Beats 1 aired in Canada was for an ex…

Wondering why your spouse, kids, or parents are also seeing your texts and you’re seeing theirs?

Apple’s iMessage system is a great way to communicate with anyone and everyone else using an Apple product, be it an iPhone, iPad, or Mac. However, it can be a complicated beast at times, especially if family members are using the same Apple ID on different devices. If someone in your family is getting text messages meant for you, or vice-versa, it is likely that those devices are sharing the same Apple ID.

This typically happens because, at some point, you all wanted to share content you bought from the iTunes store, including apps, games, music, movies, TV shows, and more. Unfortunately, if you don’t set it up carefully, iCloud, FaceTime, and iMessage can all come along for the ride.

But there’s a fix! Log into iCloud and iTunes separately on each device and set up Family Sharing. First, you’ll need to make sure everyone has their own, unique iCloud account.

OK, we have to wail until the end of the month (because of course we do) to finally get our first taste of John Krasinski in the latest incarnation of the classic Tom Clancy character. And we have got to believe it’ll be worth the wait.

What else is coming up in August? A whole lot of excellent Amazon originals. Check it out.
