Sunday April 21, 2013

This meeting had no structure, but we sure covered a lot of ground.  We all shared tips and different apps that each had discovered.

·         Went over iBooks and how to download some great FREE exercise video books from the Store, how you can use the Collections tab to download PDF files like the Palm Creek Happenings, Manuals, Restaurant Menus and put them into a Collections folder.

·         We discussed how to use the Contacts with Emoji to identify different groups of people.  We also discovered we can view Groups within the Contacts app on the iPad, however they must be created and set up on either the Mac or PC.

·         I did a demo on how to transfer Photos to your PC or Mac so you could work in Picasa or transfer them to another media for backup, either an external drive, thumb drive, or CD.  The app we used was Wireless Transfer App which must be present on your PC or Mac as well as the iPad and iPhone so that you can transfer between them.  Note when downloading an app, be sure to download it on the iPad because it will automatically also go to the iPhone.  If you do the iPhone first you will have to go to the iPad and download it again.  Sometimes there is an extra charge for that.

·         We discovered a free leaning app called Grovo where you can select different products which you will be directed to for some short video training.  One such video on Evernote demonstrated how to use the Evernote camera app to take multiple pictures of something and they will all be placed into one note, saving you the aggravation of consolidating later.  This would out great for those magazines you want to get rid of, but want to save an article.

·         Showed how to drag and drop email addressee names down into the cc or bcc line without having to retype them.

We are going to meet again next Sunday for another one of these great sharing sessions.
