You Can Now Export and Download Apple Card Statements
Apple’s credit card, the Apple Card, offers a nice mix of integration with Apple Pay, daily cash back, and an elegant interface in the Wallet app on your iPhone. Until recently, however, it was impossible to get your transaction data out of Wallet except in PDF form. Apple has now added exports in either CSV or OFX format. CSV is appropriate for importing into a spreadsheet, whereas many financial apps can import OFX files. To export your data from Wallet, tap your Apple Card and then tap Card Balance. Under Statements, tap the statement you want to export, tap Export Transactions at the bottom, and choose a format. For CSV, tap the Share icon in the file preview, and for OFX, Wallet automatically opens a share sheet. Use AirDrop, Messages, or Mail to send the file to your Mac, where you can work with it in whatever you use to track your finances.
Tim’s Note: I can’t begin to tell you how excited our bookkeeper Kit is about this feature.

What to Do If You Run Low on iCloud Storage Space
Set Your Preferred Name and Photo for Messages in iOS 13
Set Your Preferred Name and Photo for Messages in iOS 13
In your list of conversations in Messages, you probably have lots of people who have generic icons next to their names or numbers. You likely look like that to other people as well, but a new feature in iOS 13 lets you share your preferred name and avatar picture with other iMessage users (blue-bubble friends). In Messages, first tap the ••• button and then Edit Name and Photo. Then, in the activity view that appears, tap Edit under your photo to select a new photo and set your name as you want it. Make sure Name and Photo Sharing is enabled before tapping Done. From now on, for any iMessage conversations, you’ll see a little banner at the top that asks if you want to share your name and photo. Do so and your recipient will get a prompt to replace whatever they’re seeing for you. (And if, as a recipient, you don’t want to accept the new photo, tap the X button at the right of the prompt.)

A note to other business owners…
A note to other business owners…
We don’t spend a lot of time talking here about how the CreativeTechs team is not only the amazing, fantastic support team that you look to for support. We are also the experts that other experts in our field turn to for help and advice. To that end, Tim has been co-hosting a podcast for other Apple Consultants. Until now, none of these podcasts would be interesting to anyone that isn’t an Apple Consultant. But this one is special.
Being a business owner isn’t all rainbows and unicorns. It can be really hard. Not only do you worry about your business, your clients, your partners, and your employees. You worry about their families. And their happiness. Their work-life balance. Their success. Their security. Their productivity.
At the end of the day, all that “stuff” has a tendency to really drag you down. Don’t let it. In this episode of Aces Conference: The Podcast, Justin Esgar and I try to talk a bit about mental health for entrepreneurs.
We don’t have the answers, but we can start a discussion. And remember, you have a community and your community cares about you. If you are struggling, reach out for help. We’re all here for you. And if you ever find yourself in crisis, please don’t hesitate to call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255
