Bournemouth — Dec 9th 2013

A good crowd of 14 gathered for the last Bournemouth meeting of the year, all eagerly anticipating Mick Burrell's talk on Mavericks. All except Mick that is. Apparently it had slipped his mind that he was the star turn and so didn't have his laptop with him. Fortunately Apple technology came to the rescue and Mick presented his i-Cloud hosted Keynote presentation using his iPhone.

After outlining the process of downloading and installing… Read more…

Last night's meeting at Beaminster was well attended - 16 people came to hear one of Mick Burrell's lucid and well thought-out presentations. He gave us a run through the method of installing Mavericks, the new, free upgrade to the Mac operating system, including a very handy hint for those of us with more than one machine. This was to make a copy the installer downloaded from the App Store web site before installing it… Read more…

We had a very full meeting this month - not the number of people attending, that was pretty normal, but the content. We started off with a Q&A session which brought up some unusual problems, one of which showed how the error message you get from your Mac, whilst always an indication that something's not right, doesn't always point you in the right direction for a solution! It also highlighted how difficult it is… Read more…

With 13 members present, Alan Cox opened by giving a short presentation on the results of his recent questionnaire survey to members that had attended Bournemouth meetings - 12 responded. The majority had more than one Apple device - 2 with 6 or more!! iMacs and iPads were the most popular devices and Mail and Safari the most popular of the Apple software applications. Several topics for future presentations were identified but more were always welcome.

There were 21 people at the meeting. Georgia's questionnaire had been completed by 17 members and David reported on the results. A pdf of the Keynote presentation that he used can be found here: with an analysis and interesting details of those subjects that we might cover in the future.
It can be summed up thus:
1) A clear need to understand the working of the Cloud emerged.
2) Anything on iPhoto &… Read more…

Despite the wind & rain, 15 of us who didn't have a fireworks party planned made their way to the meeting. This month was a very informal affair with no presentation but plenty of time to deal with questions & answers. We worked through the WAMUG joining process for a few members who'd paid their subs up front but not set up their profile on here and also looked at varies, mainly iPad related issues… Read more…

Unfortunately, due to problems in the kitchen, those of us who'd planned to eat before the meeting held up the start for almost half an hour. However, at 8:00pm Gordon launched into his rundown of iOS 7. He gave us a very comprehensive presentation including most of the changes from iOS 6 and had prepared before & after screenshots of the icons, some of which have changed beyond all recognition leaving some people searching… Read more…

Alan Cox welcomed everybody who had made it to the meeting through the traffic gridlock that evening. There were 17 present. He then introduced Ben Cahill, the new Assistant Manager at Solutions, and Dean who repairs Apple kit at Solutions as a fully trained and accredited Apple technician.

Dean gave an interesting presentation on all the seemingly myriad cables that have been and are used to connect our various devices - although he tempered… Read more…
