Each demonstration was done on a MacBook, and then the equivalent one on an iPad, although some of the features would not have been available on earlier devices. The iPhone was not covered, but it was assumed that some of the features… Read more…

Michael ran through a small range of free apps, plus two paid-for ones and a useful no-charge web-site - all for the Mac, bat the web-site.

The first app was Enpass, which provides a secure place for passwords, bank account and credit card details, driving license and passport detail and other travel items and log-in passwords, and anything else that you may wish to secure. The main thing to… Read more…

There were 7 stalwart members who attended the November meeting at Solutions, Bournemouth.

John Hooper talked us through the many variables in the Settings configuration in the latest iOS for iPad and iPhone, although he concentrated on the iPad. There are many options that are available within the iOS and by the end of John's very thorough 'walk through', it was agreed that everyone attending had found something useful that they didn't previously… Read more…

Twelve members attended this meeting to hear Tony Still give us a very interesting and absorbing talk about the possible threats that could attack OSX and iOS.

Malware, which may include Viruses, Trojans, Worms, Bots, Adware etc. takes the form of a program placed on your computer covertly. It usually tries to remain invisible and may seek to spread itself to other computers. The writer's motive is nearly always money, perhaps by identity… Read more…

While there are many apps available to help us find our way using our Apple devices, for the sake of everyone, Michael only discussed the comparative merits of the two best known free ones -Apple Maps and Google Maps, and added Waze, a free sat-nav with a difference, for good measure. These all work on Mac, iPad and iPhone.

The meeting - 18 people including three new faces - was taken through the basics… Read more…

13 members gathered to hear Alex from Solutions tell us all about MacOS Sierra. Although the new features of Sierra are fully documented on Apple's website, it was interesting to see them demonstrated and much discussion ensued to clarify exactly how the updates worked. Regulars at Bournemouth will be unsurprised to learn that the Photos updates, in particular, attracted much interest and interrogation.

A show of hands indicated that not many members had… Read more…
