March Meeting - March 8th, 2019.
The Q&A session will start at 7:00 and run to 7:30 PM.

With opening day of major league baseball only weeks away and spring's milder weather providing great photo opportunities, the March presentation will be a "double header".

First, we will discuss Apple's Continuity and Handoff features. Like AirDrop and CarPlay, Continuity and Handoff uses Bluetooth and WiFi to connect devices to make our lives easier. You can start work on one device, then switch to another nearby device and pick up where you left off.

Next, we will update LIMac members on Photo's editing techniques on the iPhone and iPad. To keep up with the advanced cameras and larger screens in Apple's new iPhones and iPads, Apple continues to add features and editing capabilities to make it easier to take and show great photos right in the field.

Following our usual agenda, the meeting will begin with our crowd sourced Q&A session, after which the main presentation will begin. At the conclusion of the program, general announcements will be made, then Donald will choose the door prize ticket and Bill will pick the raffle winner. We will be trying something different this month. This month's raffle will be a 50/50. For those unfamiliar with the 50/50, you can purchase tickets and all the money go into the pot. One ticket will be drawn and 50% of the money in the pot goes to the lucky winner and the other 50% goes towards supporting LIMac. Since the general meeting is almost all iOS there will be no separate iOS SIG.

Be sure to bring your iPad and iPhone to get the most from the meeting.

Your first meeting is FREE. Annual individual membership is $48.00, which covers all immediate members of your family & gives you access to our monthly electronic newsletter and member-only bulletin board and valuable discounts only available to Macintosh User Group members. Membership applications are available at the check-in desk.

You’re Invited to the MacBasics SIG In order to meet the needs of a wider range of members and not put off those with more than beginning skills, we’ve changed not only the name from Beginner SIG, but also the focus of our SIG. We will still cover applications like AppleWorks and simple procedures like setting up your first Mac, file systems and using utilities, but we’ve also matured, as much of Apple’s software and hardware has. So come on down. We'll be where we’ve always been, doing what we’ve always done, but with a new slant and a new name. The MacBasics SIG is led by Geoff Broadhurst and Rick Matteson. The SIG meeting is broken into two sessions. The first is from 7:00 to 7:30PM, during which we will have our own basic level question and answer session. We’ll break for the featured presentation and raffle and come back for the main portion of our SIG meeting from 8:30 to 10 o’clock. Of course before our MacBasics main demonstration we'll have our own novice Q&A session across the hall, while Bradley's dealing with the more complicated problems in the main room. As always come with questions. The MacBasics SIG is not just for beginners, but we do discuss aspects of the Mac that may sometimes be overlooked. There will be a MacBasics SIG meeting this month. The topic has not been announced.

The App SIG, is the latest SIG from LIMac. It's a peer-to-peer group where members share their knowledge and experience with the operating system iOS 7 and their favorite apps for their iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. While the AppleTV does run iOS, it doesn't run user apps. Nevertheless, it can play an important role in the mobile OS realm with streaming video and photos and screen mirroring. Lets help each other here. There will be no App SIG meeting this month.
