John opened the meeting with 21 members present. Gordon, Maggie and Terry sent apologies.
The first presentation was by Mark, of the 'Show me' app for iPad.
He first loaded some photos onto the iPad using a card adapter, and then demonstrated how the app was used to
annotate and provide a verbal commentary on the photos, which resulted in a movie which could be emailed from within the app.

I'm pleased to report that we had a slightly higher attendance this month and it resulted in a very lively and hopefully informative meeting. We started off with the usual question-and-answer session and this did get slightly technical with a discussion on the use of IP addresses but I'm fairly sure that the people who were asking the questions went away happy and hopefully with a problem cured.
We then went…

The meeting started with a business session in which we discussed the potential move to Portchester Community College following our interesting visit to the school in April. We decided that subject to no issues being raised that we will move the meeting to the school starting in January 2012. We will be keeping everyone informed as to what is happening.
We then discussed the types of pointing devices that people used and did…

The meeting started with Lionel's presentation on the varied – and in some cases unexpected – uses of Front Row. This is a much under-used application that comes with the Mac, though latterly the handset has been sold separately as an extra, for £15.00 Lionel pointed out that this was a very useful and time-saving method of watching movies, dvds and photos, and of listeing to music inasmuch as it is not necessary…

John was away on holiday, so Mark introduced the meeting with 22 members present.
The main theme of the meeting was online book production, and during the meeting, samples of each printer's product were handed round for inspection.
Maggie started with a talk on Blurb Books
She had found Blurb books more suitable for the product which she was trying to create than the iPhoto offering, it allowed greater flexibility, in particular with…

For reasons best not discussed we held the first part of the meeting the hall car park. This gave us an opportunity to discuss with Andy Banks the reasons for and how Drupal works.
After a period of time we moved the meeting into the room, switched on the heaters and carried on the discussion.
The discussion then ranged far and wide encompassing disk drives that were the physical size of spare…

One of our busiest meetings - not with numbers but with content. Once we'd got inside (the rugby club had decided not to open till 8:00 as their season has finished but neglected to tell us) we used the main room instead of our normal small one.
Annie started us off by exploring the capabilities of a new slide scanner. Most of the features apply equally well to scanning documents on a flatbed…

There was the usual select gathering at the Solutions store in Bournemouth and in addition to the single item on the WAMUG mailing there were three other presentations offered.
Mick began the meeting by giving a presentation on how to ensure that you could send and receive e-mail while away from home using your laptop, iPad, iPhone or iPod touch.
Using a service such as Googlemail seemed to be the…

Fewer folk this month but a clutch of iPads in evidence. We had apologies from 5 members. Tom's talk on iMovie 11 was held over until the June meeting but Lionel took us through the functions of Front Row which I must confess I have never bothered with. I certainly will now if I can track the little zapper down!
Mark demonstrated how easily his newly acquired iPad 2 displayed through the projector…

The April meeting of the Fareham group was held at the Portchester Community School, we were hosted by Alan and Matt Clemmy plus Ryan, a student at the school.

The Mac rooms typical contained 16 or so iMacs all connected and monitored by the lecturers iMac - all the rooms had digital projectors.
Ryan demonstrated…
