The iPhone has several features to help anyone involved in, or encountering, an emergency. We looked at three aspects: 1. how to set up the information any medic might need if they came to your aid and could not obtain it directly from you. We looked at how that medic could access that information. 2. how calls can be made in the event of an emergency and how to set up that facility. 3. using…

Just six of us attended the April meeting to hear Mick's explanation of what each term in the Photos app adjustment section means. Some of them seem to duplicate each other but in most cases, one is more aggressive in its action whilst the other is more subtle.…

Seven members plus a guest (hopefully new member!) attended Warsash this month, sadly a couple more of us were unable to attend. Stuart presented on most of the new products Apple launched in the last few weeks (he forgot the M4 iPad Air, as David pointed out!). So that was the AirPods Max 2, the iPhone 17e, the Studio Display revision, the Studio Display XDR (which replaces the larger, even more expensive Pro Display XDR…

A lively meeting with lots of questions and requests for help - just what the session is intended for. The meeting started with an outline by David P and Mick B on where files are saved using the default options, how to change the default, and how to move (and, if required, rename) files to any other location of your choice. David P explained how to delete old versions of Pages, Numbers, and Keynote on a Mac…

Two main topics tonight - MacBook Neo, Apple's entry level MacBook aimed at Windows users coming over to Apple or perhaps people who have found Apple through an iPhone or iPad and are now looking to break in to Mac. A very capable machine but clearly not aimed at people who use their Mac for professional video, photography or music.
Next was a look at the various AI apps available to us. David has…

Six members (one more sadly unable to attend at short notice) at Warsash for David M's talk on iPhone camera controls, complete with demonstrations of certain features and interuptions for questions positively encouraged. Most entertaining and very helpful. The usual discussions followed, and Mick showed Apple's splendid promo video for the MacBook Neo, a very tempting buy as a first Mac or anyone who doesn't need all the bells and whistles of Air let alone…

The meeting was extremely well attended. David P covered the primary uses for the Photos app: viewing, editing, cataloguing and sharing. We also covered "Where are my photos stored?". There followed an very lively 1:1 session with many of the those present helping each other resolve issues.…

We had a video giving pros andirons of Apple's Creator Studio and followed it with a discussion on it. That was followed by a quick look at how you can find details of your devices in Settings and finished off with a look at some apps aimed at keeping your brain active.…

We started with a short movie by MacVince explaining Apple’s new Creator Suite, titled Apple's Weirdest Subcription Yet. The package, which covers Mac and iOS, comprises the familiar free Pages, Numbers, Keynote, and FreeForm (PNKF) on the one hand, and a bundle of “artistic” creator apps which, bought separately, add up to several hundred dollars.
On the Mac, you can retain the old versions of the PNKF, but they are automatically updated…

(it was the 14th btw...typo when I did the calendar). A compact and bijou six members at the Victory Hall this month for a Q&A. Topics included Apple Pay, when to upgrade the OS, accents in the new version of Pages, Finder tabs, badges in applications (for those people wondering what they are, the indications of how many unread messages you have in Mail, for example, and more).…
