Eight members came to Warsash this month. Dolby Atmos has been a big noise in video, gaming and music for a while now, and Apple has been big on supporting it- in hardware (the MacBook Pro & Air and the Studio Display all have Atmos-ready speakers, for example), and in software- almost the entire Apple Music catalogue is available for streaming in Atmos. Stuart's talk was an explanation of the technology and how we… Read more…

Mick ran through the the key features of the new iPhone 15, 15 Plus and iPhone 15 Pro, 15 Pro Max concluding that most of the improvements would not really be noticeable for our typical uses and if needing to update an older phone it would be worth looking at the 14 or 13 still offered by Apple. Mick suggested the Pro models can almost be described as a Camera with a built in phone… Read more…

Quite a few members couldn't make it to this meeting but those who did heard David M explain various ways of dealing with text including dictation and translation to and from other languages. It was quite a lively session with most members trying out the various techniques as he explained them. At one point during the dictation explanation, an iPad at the back of the hall managed to pick up what David was saying at… Read more…

Mick gave two short presentations, the first looking at the new iPhone 15. A few of the new features were picked out as being of more interest on both the "standard" 15 and the Pro models. There was a brief discussion as to whether the new features were worth the extra over and above the price charged for the still available 13 and 14 models.

The second presentation followed a similar… Read more…

Euan, rather than a Keynote presentation showed us his Notes and how he manages them, the key being that you can copy almost anything onto a note, photo, pdf, hand written note, URL etc. Just like the Finder, you can have folders within folders. Euan clearly uses Notes to a greater extent than most of us so being able to retrieve information is critical. The search facility within the Notes app is a very effective… Read more…

iPhones were in evidence as Mick took us through the various gestures to cover phones with Home Buttons and Face Recognition - phones of every variety were covered. Topics included the oddly named App Switcher, Control Centre, Notifications, Screen Grab and, if all else fails, how to switch it off (or call the emergency services). This was followed by a lively 1:1 help session for members of the group.… Read more…

Mick, leading the meeting started with a minutes silence to remember Barry Guyer our redoubtable Salisbury Group leader who had passed away very suddenly a week ago, one day after his usual lively attendance at Brian’s Sunday Zoom the previous day.

Euan gave us a detailed demonstration of how to use iMovie, Apple’s inbuilt movie editing app. He showed how the the menus on the left of the screen… Read more…

The first part of this month's meeting was devoted to how to use the on-screen keyboard to establish what additional characters are provided by using modifier keys. Also, how a prolonged press on any of the keys in the row below the F keys provides a further selection.

The second part of this month's meeting was devoted to illustrative examples of how the usual commands available in desktop and laptop computers in… Read more…

David showed a shortened version of Marques Brownlee’s Apple Vision Pro impressionswhich explains very clearly the amazing features and technological sophistications of Apple’s latest product. David explained that he had used Capto to record the full video before editing in iMovie.

He then handed over to a Spectacles Free Euan who, before demonstrating Capto, showed how to use Apple’s, built-in to the Mac, QuickTime for recording all or part of the screen… Read more…
