Another well attended meeting. Great interest was shown in Barry's description of how he is starting to come to terms with Final Cut Pro. It was particularly useful to newcomers to the app. Considerable discussion followed and he promised to give us a second instalment when he has learnt more!

Euan had set up an Apple II and had also brought along some copies of a publication called Clipboard that contained a digest… Read more…

Another good meeting turnout, and with a series of interesting presentations. The first from Neil Strudwick of MYOB showing the revised layout and ease of use of the latest Mac-friendly versions of this set of book-keeping programs. There was some good interest shown from the audience - and he didn't do too hard a sell. (He had been warned!)

After this two members, Jim Hayward and Mark Ford, gave presentations on digital… Read more…

An excellent turn out - 20 members all keen and ready to go! I would say that it was down to Frances bringing a mouth watering cake along, but we didn't know about that till she arrived but it was a welcome addition. (Much nicer than Terry's doughnuts!)

Martin had done a very professional Keynote presentation to show us some of the podcasts he's found interesting. All available through iTunes. This was followed by… Read more…

We had a very small band of members attending this month - very small but very keen! We had a good question and answer session and were able to solve most of them. Do remember though if you come and want to try to solve an issue, it's much easier if you have your machine with you. O.K. PowerMacs or Mac Pros can be a little tricky but iMacs can be surprisingly portable.

A good turn out. David demonstrated the way in which Airfoil can take audio from any application and send to an AirPort Express unit, as well as Apple TV. It also includes a beta player for video which delays the picture to match the delay in the sound.

The star of this meeting was undoubtedly the new MacBook Air, ably demonstrated by Lucy, the Assistant Store Manager of our hosts, Solutions. So light (at 3 lbs) that she was able to hold it up on the palm of her hand throughout the demonstration, while illustrating not only the slick design, but the abilities of the enlarged touch pad, echoing those of the iPhone in allowing rotating of pictures, as well as enlarging, diminishing… Read more…

Thanks to our two volunteers - Brian (who showed us how to produce 3D photos in Photoshop) and Colin (producing a two sided, folded leaflet in Pages) - for two very well received demonstrations. There was lots of discussion and questions for both. After the demos, things continued apace as a few more people had brought machines so we were able to work to solve issues on the spot.

I'm pleased to say that we… Read more…

This months meeting was inspired by a request to look at "Back to my Mac". But before delving into the intricacies of this technology we took a look at Security, looking at why we, or if we, should be concerned! It proved to be an interesting, if not wide subject, which hopefully inspired everyone to consider the various considerations.

Coffee and Doughnuts followed along with general discusions between members. I'm sure… Read more…

To start the season, we had two excellent presentations with a photographic theme. Euan introduced us to some of the mysteries of Colour on the Mac, and in Photoshop. When he finished, we had all taken on an understanding of RGB, CMYK, how to calibrate the monitor, and colour spaces, and also of some of the tools which Photoshop provides to enable colours to be balanced, enhanced, and transformed. After an… Read more…

Members braved the wind and rain to join us at our first meeting at Solutions Inc. in 2008. Michael our usual host was away on the other side of the world so the meeting was hosted by Lionel.

The meeting began with Sebastian from Solutions who gave us a demonstration of iPhoto 08. This caused a lot of interest, particularly from those of us not yet using this latest version; enough I think… Read more…
