Nine members came to Warsash for an informal Q&A session. John H inquired about how to get text out of a PDF, and there was much discussion about image metadata, and how and when to delete it (so as not to identify one's location when not advisable). David had also brought along a broken Retina MacBook 12" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacBook_(2015-2019) which had much interest, and discussion how… Read more…

As well as providing 1:1 help three topics were presented. Using the iPhone as a Hot Spot to obtain access to the Internet to avoid insecure public wifi systems or because there is no wifi service available. We translated phrases in Japanese and Italian using Translate apps on the iPhone and discussed the relative merits of Apple vs Google translate apps. Finally using an iPad we looked at two ways of creating a flyer… Read more…

Barry commenced by outlining the many changes that the iPad had gone through since it first appeared in 2010. There have
been 9 generations of the iPad, 6 of the iPad Mini, 5 of the iPad Air and 5 of the iPad Pro… Read more…

As a change from the normal Apple related talks, Richard gave us a fascinating insight into the world of Hi-Fi. Having been delving into it since the 1970s, he shared with us his wealth of knowledge and exploded some myths and hype. He finished by going into more detail about loudspeakers - the different types and designs - explaining their strong and weak points.… Read more…

David was focusing on the file management of Photos on the Mac emphasising that he was talking about libraries and not albums. A photos library with the suffix .photoslibrary contains everything in Photos with single database of the photos and all the relative albums and search functions. In the early days of the iCloud My Photo Stream was the default method of linking photos across devices via the Cloud. Photo Stream could not and cannot… Read more…

Ten members located themselves at Warsash for a couple of navigation-themed presentations. First, David showed us how to find ourselves with Apple Maps, with both Mac and iOS devices. Some of us were clearly more in need of navigational assistance- or assistance in how to navigate- than others, but we all found our destinations eventually! Secondly, Mick talked about what3words (see what3words.com), a super-easy (well, once you've got the hang of it… Read more…

With an excellent attendance it was a lively meeting. David P showed how Numbers could be used to test whether your passport falls foul of any of the rules being applied to test validity for visits to EC destinations. Euan in very short order had prepared a summary of what had been revealed at the WWDC event - new chips, new features. Of particular note was the way multiple open windows will be handled so as… Read more…

On a warm and sunny Salisbury evening, 11 members and one guest were treated to a quartet of presentations.

Euan showed the versatility of Text Edit, how it can be used to read documents in almost any original format and convert them to ones suitable for use. Existing styles can be copied and advanced formatting can be employed. The app has built-in Time Machine auto-save. Live URLs may be converted to… Read more…

Ten members came to Warsash for an interactive tutorial from Euan on iMovie, with short films he'd already produced and some he put together on the spot, complete with amusing sound effects. Some of us had filmed short clips, so that we could edit and manipulate them into something hopefully entertaining- and the results were indeed worth watching. Well, apart from Stuart, whose ageing MacBook (2009!) proved positively prehistoric when trying to edit 1080p footage… Read more…

We were rather a small group for Dorchester with just 10 members present. Mick demonstrated how to create a Database in Numbers and in this instance he had used the IOS, iPad, version demonstrating that whilst a little more obtuse than the Mac , it nevertheless has all the same capabilities which are very comprehensive. The example database was about the storage and monitoring of food product - Mick does not like broccoli! Those of us locked… Read more…
