This month we were treated to a very entertaining demo by Brian. We're used to the high tech world of Apple but in contrast, and I hope he won't mind me describing his gadget this way, Brian had gone very low tech to produce a turntable to hold his camera to produce a 360deg video. This was made from a 1.5v motor purchased from Maplins and bits & pieces found in his shed, namely… Read more…

The proceedings started with the AGM. Mick and Lionel respectively gave the Chairman's and Treasurer's report followed by the election of officers. Mick then paid tribute to Terry Willis, co-founder and long term supporter of WAMUG; Terry is stepping down from the Committee and was thanked for his long and invaluable service.

Alan then opened the group meeting by thanking Christopher Harrison of Solutions, who is moving on to write for Future… Read more…

The holidays may still be taking its toll on members as there were only 15 present. The new room lay-out seems most successful and thanks are due to Mick for bringing his kit to make it possible.

Georgia demonstrated three free iOS Apps:

Sky Scanner [also in OSX] that gathers together information from many airlines on flight prices. They are displayed in the classic lists but also on a map… Read more…

We had two talks, the first one on upgrading a Mac Pro with an SSD to improve boot and program load time. The second one on the use of Country specific address formats in Contacts and the use of the Chronos Labelist program to get a greater degree of flexibility of labels and Contact listings than is supplied in the basic Contacts application.

Discussions covered RAID storage and exploiting undocumented features in the… Read more…

Our Q&A session solved a few problems ranging from how to split clips in iMovie to how to reset your password for this web site. We then went on to look at some favourite apps including Shazam which we all tried to fool (with some but very little success) by playing music from obscure artists, the new filing app InterconneX (from Econ Technologies) for iPad and finally Hopscotch which some older members with… Read more…

A virtue of having only a few members attend a meeting is that the discussions and information sharing involves only one conversation which involves all the attendees. Today we only had 5 members attending which suited the topic which was a "Show and Tell" session where the members were invited to describe the free and cheap applications that they find useful. Given that we are expecting the summer to be over and the weather… Read more…

With yet another good turn out in spite of the hot weather, Vicky of Solutions (Bournemouth) gave her presentation on iPhoto.

After a quick tour of iPhoto's main screen, she explained the various means of obtaining support. As well as the Help menu, Apple 'find out how' tutorials are a good source of information about many Mac topics including iPhoto. She also told us that phone calls to AppleCare could be made more economically by… Read more…

John introduced the meeting with over 21 members and guests present, on a very hot evening.

We again tried some new ideas for sharing the displays to make the presentations more easily visible to members. This time, two projectors were used, and a brief discussion at the end of the meeting considered possible improvements to this… Read more…
