A little bit of everything, email, free phone call app, free training apps etc. Being a small class during the summer months allows us to cover a wide spectrum of things related to the iPhone and iPad.<br /><div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>BookBub </b>(<a href="http://landers.bookbub.com/" style="color: #3697b3; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;" x-apple-data-detectors-result="3" x-apple-data-detectors-type="link" x-apple-data-detectors="true">landers.bookbub.com</a>) and <b>ENT </b>(<a href="http://ereadernewstoday.com/" style="color: #3697b3; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;" x-apple-data-detectors-result="4" x-apple-data-detectors-type="link" x-apple-data-detectors="true">EreaderNewsToday.com</a>) have daily offers of Free or very low cost ebooks. Not Bestsellers, but some very good reads. You can download them onto your iPhone or iPad, though you may need an Amazon account to do it through.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><a href="http://translate.google.com/" style="color: #3697b3; text-decoration: none;" x-apple-data-detectors-result="5" x-apple-data-detectors-type="link" x-apple-data-detectors="true">translate.google.com</a></b> - can get it as an app too (google translate)</div>
<div>
translate an entire website from approximately 81 foreign languages into English or vice versa. With the app, you can type in what you want translated, speak it into the microphone OR handwrite it, and the app will not only display the correct phrase, but click on the speaker icon next to it and you'll hear how to say it in the language you're wanting!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<u><b>MagicJack</b></u></div>
<div>
Use this app on your iPad to make FREE calls to Canada and the US (directly to your friend's landline). This will require WiFi access. You may want to email the person to alert them that you'll be calling because it shows up on caller ID as coming from Florida.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<u>WONDERFUL online classes highly recommended by Sandy and Kay:</u></div>
<div>
David A Cox's <u><b><a href="http://pcclassesonline.com/" style="color: #3697b3; text-decoration: none;" x-apple-data-detectors-result="6" x-apple-data-detectors-type="link" x-apple-data-detectors="true">PCclassesonline.com</a></b></u></div>
<div>
Great classes on iPad, iPhone, PCs and Macs</div>
<div>
Just for examples:</div>
<div>
One class teaches you how to get rid of duplicate contacts.</div>
<div>
Another class is on Battery Life.</div>
<div>
Another about iCloud support?</div>
<div>
(Note: When you first sign up, you must wait for a confirmation email that will give you this month's password in order to access the website.)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<u><b>Contacts</b>:</u> Just a note: as soon as you change something in one contact on one iDevice, it will sync IMMEDIATELY in your other iProducts. So immediately put the other iProduct in Airplane mode if you don't want it to sync.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you don't care for the <b><u>3D effect in the ios7</u></b> (wallpaper moves slightly when iPhone is moved), stop it by going to:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Settings</li>
<li>General (if you don't see General, swipe to find it)</li>
<li>Accessibility</li>
<li>Reduce Motion - turn it on (will show green)</li>
</ul>
<div>
To send a <u><b>Photo in email</b></u> on iPhone or iPad:</div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Open Photos</li>
<li>Select a photo by touching it and it will become full screen</li>
<li>Hit the Share button (box with upward arrow) [on iPhone the photo will have a circle with a checkmark in it. You can swipe to select more photos (max 5 for email). When you've chosen the ones you want, click NEXT]</li>
<li>select MAIL</li>
<li>Fill in the To: and Subject: lines by touching each and the keyboard will appear. When done typing, hit keyboard symbol on lower right.</li>
<li>Click send</li>
<li>on the iPhone, it will ask you to choose the message size. Choose MEDIUM</li>
</ul>
<div>
<b><u>MAIL (the blue square with white envelope) App:</u></b></div>
</div>
<div>
To set up your iPad or iPhone to receive email: You must <i>know</i> your <i>email provider</i> (ie AOL, Google[gmail]cr8zy, yahoo, etc), your <i>email address</i> and <i>password</i>. To set up new email account:</div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>Settings</li>
<li>Mail, Contacts, Calendars</li>
<li>Add Account</li>
<li>Choose type of account (provider)</li>
<li>enter Name, email address, password & description</li>
<li>Next (mail will begin verifying)</li>
<li>If all is correct, blue checkmarks will appear next to each entry, then the next screen will show up</li>
<li>At this point, Turn on Mail & Contacts. Calendars and notes are your decision.</li>
<li>Save</li>
<li>You new email account will be added</li>
</ol>
<div>
Again, it is recommended you have a gmail address (that will also serve as the login for other google based sites you may want to access).</div>
<div>
To create one:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Go to <a href="http://gmail.com/" style="color: #3697b3; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;" x-apple-data-detectors-result="7" x-apple-data-detectors-type="link" x-apple-data-detectors="true">gmail.com</a></li>
<li>(note: when you go into Safari, there may be a website address already in the address bar. Simply touch it. When it highlights all blue, you can just start typing the address you want) Then press GO.</li>
<li>Below the blue sign-in rectangle are the words <i><span style="color: #2d4fc9;">Create A New Account</span></i></li>
<li>Tap that and it will take you to <a href="http://accounts.google.com/" style="color: #3697b3; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;" x-apple-data-detectors-result="8" x-apple-data-detectors-type="link" x-apple-data-detectors="true">accounts.google.com</a></li>
<li>Follow the prompts to create a google account which will serve as your gmail login. (Remember to write down your user name & 8 character password!) You'll also have to enter a birth month, day & year, but you can make one up - just remember to write that down also. To prove you're not a robot randomly creating gmail addresses, you have to type the numbers displayed into the blank space below them. Verify your location is United States, check the box agreeing to the Terms of Service, then tap <span style="color: #2d4fc9;">Next step</span></li>
<li>If every was put in correctly, you'll come to a Welcome! page confirming your new gmail user name. </li>
<li>Leave this page and go back to Settings to set up your iPad or iPhone to receive this new email address. (see steps 1 through 10 above).</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
Within Mail, mailboxes are more like file folders, so you can organize your saved emails.When you go into Mail, you can choose to look at your emails via each individual email address you have OR you can select All Inboxes.</div>
</div>
<div>
To read about "<b>Folders (Mailboxes) in Mail and arranging your emails</b>", refer to the <i>Sunday, December 14, 2013</i> post on the <b>PALM CREEK IPAD USERS GROUP blog</b> (<b><a href="http://pcipadusersgroup.blogspot.com/" style="color: #3697b3; text-decoration: none;" x-apple-data-detectors-result="10" x-apple-data-detectors-type="link" x-apple-data-detectors="true">pcipadusersgroup.blogspot.com</a>)</b>. Type the word <i>Mail</i> in the search bar (upper left where the magnifying glass is).</div>

We worked on moving photos from iphone/ipad to a PC today.
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
First, on your PC (computer):</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><b>Start</b><span> </span>button (lower left in Windows 7)</li>
<li>Select<span> </span><b>Computer</b></li>
<li><b>C</b><span> </span>drive</li>
<li><b>Users</b><span> </span>(folder)</li>
<li><b>Your name</b><span> </span>(folder)</li>
<li><b>My Pictures</b><span> </span>(folder)</li>
<li><i><i>Create a new folder </i><span style="font-style: normal;">and Label it:<span> </span><span style="color: #2d4fc9;"><b>iPad Photos</b></span></span></i></li>
<li><i><span style="font-style: normal;"><i>Create a separate new folder </i>and Label it:<span> </span><span style="color: red;">iPhone Photos</span></span></i></li>
<li><i><span style="font-style: normal;">YES, you need 2 different folders as you want to keep separate which photos come from each iUnit. Because of syncing between iProducts and photo streaming (which is ONLY between iProducts) knowing from which product a certain photo originated gets confusing.</span></i></li>
<li><i><span style="font-style: normal;">NOTE: Camera Roll is the Master File on the iPad. If you delete a photo in there, it is gone from ALL albums.</span></i></li>
</ul>
Now, connect your iPad (or iPhone) to the computer with the USB charger cord that came with your iProduct.
</div>
<div>
To access the photos from the iPad that is connected to the computer, go to:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><b>Computer</b></li>
<li>Your iPad should now show up where the other drives in your computer appear. Be PATIENT, it may not show up immediately. If iTunes opens, close it - we're not moving photos through that today. Click on<span> </span><b>your iPad</b><span> </span>when it appears.</li>
<li style="display: inline; list-style: none;">
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">NOTE: Your computer may ask "Do you want to allow this computer to access info on "XNAME's iPad?"' Effectively say yes, by clicking CONTINUE.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">And, Your iPad will ask "Trust this computer?" Click TRUST.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>After you've clicked on 'your iPad',<span> </span><b>INTERNAL STORAGE</b><span> </span>will appear. Click on that.</li>
<li><b>DCIM</b><span> </span>will show next. Keep clicking on that until photos appear.</li>
</ul>
<div>
From here, you can move all the photos currently on your iPad into the computer:</div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Highlight the 1st photo</li>
<li>Scroll to the bottom</li>
<li>Hold the SHIFT key down as you click on the last photo.*</li>
<li>All photos will turn blue</li>
<li>R click in the blue, and choose COPY</li>
<li>Now, on the left of the computer's screen, click on PICTURES </li>
<li>Find the folder you created earlier named iPad Photos</li>
<li>R click on that folder, then click PASTE</li>
<li>All the photos will copy into that folder!</li>
<li style="display: inline; list-style: none;">
<ul>
<li>*Note: If you prefer to pick and choose which photos to copy, hold down the CTRL key as you click click click the individual, noncontiguous pictures. They will turn blue as you choose them. </li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<div>
Now that the photos are in your computer, you can burn them to a disk, USB, or backup on an external hard drive. ONLY after you're sure you have your photos SAVED, you can delete them from your iPad to free up space.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
It is highly recommended you back up your ENTIRE computer the 1st of every month. This is easy using an external hard drive. There are convenient sized portable hard drives even up to 1TB(terra byte)! The initial full backup will take quite a bit of time, but future ones will only backup files that have changed. Join and attend Palm Creek's wonderful Computer Club for more information.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
On iPad and iPhone, photos can be transferred even easier than the procedure outlined above by using an App made especially for this. Two that Sandy recommends are:</div>
<div>
<ol>
<li><b>WIFI transfer</b><span> </span>$2.99 in the App Store (but you can wait for it to come around on Apps Gone Free).</li>
<li><b>Video2photo</b><span> </span> $0.99 in the App Store.</li>
</ol>
</div>

Remember this started and was intended to be a self-help user group, NOT classes. We need help in assisting ALL levels. With the vast range of user levels, if we plan to continue next year we will need volunteers who will help with demos, or just sharing of ideas, experiences and apps. In this way, we may be able create a specific agenda for each week we hold a session. There should be more specific sessions for the various user levels, but that is impossible without more resources.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Jan 12, 2014 iPad Users' Group - Peggy Aebersold-Fetzer</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Just to show one of the many fun things an iPad can do, Sandy demonstrated how anyone with Dish Cable can look for programs and/or record a show even if away from home by using the Dish anywhere app.
</div>
<div>
<br clear="none" />
<div>
She then introduced the founder of the iPad Users Group, Brent Shirley, who received a round of applause!</div>
<div>
<br clear="none" /></div>
<div>
Sandy then shared with new attendees how to make a <b>shortcut</b> to the invaluable <b>Palm Creek iPad Users' Blog</b>:</div>
<div>
Open the <b>Safari</b> web browser, tap in the address bar to allow you to type in the new address - <a href="http://www.pcipadusersgroup.blogspot.com/" shape="rect">www.pcipadusersgroup.blogspot.com</a>. Then press <b>GO</b> on the keyboard.</div>
<div>
Once you are on the iPad Users' Group site, hit the box with the arrow pointing straight up (in the upper left corner). From the gray-outlined symbols that appear, choose <b>Add to Home Screen</b>. At this point, change the name since you'll only be able to read a short bit on your home screen and you want the title to be easy to recognize. (You will NOT be able to edit the title later). Tap on the current bold-texted title (<b>Palm Creek iPad Users Group</b>), tap the X in a circle, then type in a better title (ie iPad Users).</div>
<div>
Then click <b>Add</b>. You will now be able to easily go to the PC iPad Users' Group blog directly from your home screen by tapping that shortcut icon.</div>
<div>
(Quick note - if you had chosen Add to Reading List instead of Add to Home Screen, you would find this webpage in the future by accessing the web via Safari, choosing the bookmark icon in the upper right (next to the cloud), then clicking on the eyeglasses symbol to see your saved reading lists.)</div>
<div>
<br clear="none" /></div>
<div>
<b>Organizing Apps/Icons into Folders:</b></div>
<div>
Press and hold one shortcut (icon) until it Wiggles. While icons are jiggling, hold one with your finger and drag it into a similar icon (you may have to practice until the one you are dragging gets a bit smaller OVER the one you're dragging it into).</div>
<div>
When you've moved 2 icons together, a folder will be formed, and the iPad will automatically suggest a name for it. You can rename it by hitting the X to the right of the title, and typing in what you prefer, then hit <b>DONE</b> on the keyboard.</div>
<div>
Touch the <b>home button</b> to stop the jiggling. </div>
<div>
(If an icon/shortcut is on the second or third page, and you want it on the first page: move the jiggling icon across the screen & hold it at the edge of the page (so about 1/2 of the icon shows). The page(s) will move. Release icon on the new page you desire.)</div>
<div>
<br clear="none" /></div>
<div>
In iOS7, you can have greater than 12 icons in 1 folder. Once you've clicked on the folder, look at the little dots at bottom to see how many pages there are. The brighter dot indicates which page you are on. Simply swipe left or right to get to the other page(s).</div>
<div>
<br clear="none" />
Note, if your fingers are cold, the touching and/or swiping won't work (you may need to use a stylus - one of the better ones is Targus, approx $15 at Office Max).<br clear="none" /><br clear="none" />
Reminder, while you are able to delete apps to free up space on your iPad or iPhone, then get them back later from the iCloud, DON'T delete apps you use regularly because you will lose the data you've entered into them.</div>
<div>
<br clear="none" />
Go onto the iTunes App store, scroll to the bottom. Choose <b>Apps made by Apple.</b> If you have the new iPad Air or iPhone 5, these will be free. For an older iPad, these apps will cost anywhere from FREE to $9.99. NOTE: If you have an older iPad, but get the new iPhone 5 and download the <b>Apps Made by Apple</b> onto the new iPhone for FREE, they will then be in the iCloud and you can access them on your older iPad at no cost!</div>
<div>
<br clear="none" />
Usually when we create our iTunes account, we enter a credit card to be saved, making any future purchases from the iTunes Store as easy as just entering our password. But what if someone gives us an apple giftcard, and we want to use that instead of our credit card? We must disable that saved credit card via:<br clear="none" />
go to <b>settings. </b> Scroll down (on the left) to <b>iTunes & App Store</b>. Touch your <b>Apple ID</b>. From the box that pops open, touch <b>view Apple ID</b>. You will have to enter your password to sign in to iTunes Store. After you have signed in, scroll down to <b>Payment Information.</b> You will see your current payment type highlighted in blue text (ie Visa, <span style="color: #2d4fc9;">Mastercard</span>, Amex).</div>
<div>
To disable your current card, select NONE, then Done at the upper right.</div>
<div>
Then to use your gift card: Go to the <b>App Store</b> on the <b>Featured page (star)</b> scroll to the bottom and click on <b>Redeem</b>. You can take a photo of your gift card with the iPad's camera, or enter the code manually.</div>
<div>
<br clear="none" /></div>
<div>
$$ saving suggestion: Buy an <b>iTunes</b> gift card at Fry's Grocery Store here in Casa Grande to get a minimum of 2x fuel points instantly and use the gift card instead of your Credit Card at the iTunes Store. :-)</div>
<div>
<br clear="none" /></div>
<div>
<b>FREE Apps you should download</b>:</div>
<div>
<b>Find iPad (Find my iPhone)</b> If your iPad or iPhone is misplaced or stolen, you'll be able to locate it on a map. You can have it play a sound too (good for those forgetful days and you KNOW it's somewhere in the house).</div>
<div>
<b>Find my Friends</b> (once your friends accept your invite, you can see the exact spot on a map where your friends are) Creepy? This is great when you are travelling, especially if you are alone. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>iBooks</b> (will hold PDFs besides just books. You can go to the websites of your appliances and download their manuals into iBooks. You can keep the PDF file of Fry's Grocery's weekly flyer in iBooks. You can save Palm Creek's Newletters there, etc. Sandy will go into more detail next week, but you can always go to the eHow section in Google to learn how to do these things if you <i>just can't wait.</i></div>
<div>
<br clear="none" /></div>
<div>
Have too many apps open, and your iPad slowing down? Double click the Home button. All open apps appear (you may have to swipe left or right to see them all). This is the <b>MultiTasking</b> Mode. Simply touch an open app to resume working in that one, or swipe up to close it. You can even close two at a time by swiping up with two fingers!</div>
<div>
If your iPad "freezes" up: Hold the <b>Home</b> button and <b>On/Off</b> button simultaneously for 10 - 15 seconds. The screen will go blank. This is referred to as a "Hard Reboot". (You may have to hit the On button to turn it back on)</div>
<div>
<br clear="none" /></div>
<div>
When you switch from an old iPad to a new iPad, icloud holds your old back up for 3 days (making your iCloud storage seem full). After the 3 days, you can delete the old iPad's backup, freeing up the storage space.</div>
<div>
<br clear="none" /></div>
<div>
Fun practice: Fill in contacts. You can add notes, birthdays, etc. in the Contacts and search them later via Search light. To use <b>Search Light: </b>About 2/3 down on screen (between icons) Swipe finger down. A Search Bar will appear at the top of the screen and the keyboard at the bottom to type in your search.</div>
<div>
<br clear="none" />
Another fun thing to practice - take a photo of the screen to capture a recipe on facebook, a website photo, etc:</div>
<div>
for example - go to <a href="http://palmcreekupdate.blogspot.com/" shape="rect">palmcreekupdate.blogspot.com</a>. Scroll to a photo you want to capture. Press and release (NOT HOLD) the <b>On/Off</b> button & <b>Home</b> button at the same time (when you release, you will hear a camera click). Then go to photos to find your screenshot. Can email it to self or Evernote, post it on facebook, send it in a message, use it as wallpaper, print it, etc.</div>
<div>
<br clear="none" />
Nifty Tip:<br clear="none" />
When at a website you have reached via Safari, Before taking a screenshot photo: if four lines appear at the beginning of the address bar, you can tap those lines and all of all the garbage (photos, ads, etc) on that webpage will disappear. (Essentially giving you a printer-friendly model of just the text).</div>
<div>
<br clear="none" /></div>
<div>
<div>
Remember to be PATIENT when searching the web. We now have a spinning circle instead of an hourglass telling us it is working.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Everyone needs to have at least one backup of your iPad and/or your iPhone to protect you from losing your Contacts and Photos especially. To see if and when your last Backup occurred:</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Go to <b>Settings/icloud/Storage & Backup</b></div>
<div>
Under Backup, make sure <b>iCloud Backup button</b> is <b>green.</b> (Automatically backs up your iPad when it is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi).</div>
<div>
Below the words <span style="color: #2d4fc9;">Back Up Now</span> shows when your iPad was Last Backed up. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>For those who on don't have Wi-Fi at their site while here at Palm Creek, and need to backup their iPad:</i></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
Plan some time to go one of the many <b>WiFi Hotspots</b> in the Park. Bring your charger and make sure you are connected to Palm Creek's WiFi, plug your iPad in with the power cord. It should automatically back up to iCloud.</div>

WOW we had over 40 attendees this past Sunday. 25 were new to the iPad Users Group. Many were starting with their New Year's resolutions of improving themselves with the iPad and others just got one for Christmas. In any event, welcome. Hopefully everyone who attends learns something. Unfortunately I do not have the resources to do individual group sessions based on ability as I am only one person. At least until Brent gets back, I will try to focus on assisting those newbies who want to get up and running. If those who have been in the group in the past can assist, that would be wonderful. Many hands make light work, and in my case we can progress faster.</div>

</div>
<div>
To <b>prevent the screen from rotating</b> when you rotate the
iPad:</div>
<div>
First, go to <b>Settings/General/Use Side Switch To:</b></div>
<div>
Put the checkmark at <i>lock rotation</i> (if you checkmark <i>mute</i>,
the side switch will be used to mute or unmute your iPad). You have to choose
your preference, as the side button can only be used for one or the other.</div>
<div>
Then, on the exterior of the iPad, beside the Volume control on horizontal
top left, (or top right side when holding the iPad vertically) is a
<i>Button.</i><br />Sliding that button to the right (or down) exposes an orange
dot, and will lock the screen. Sliding the button to the left (or top) will
allow the screen to rotate. (The button will mute or unmute if you chose that
option for the side button while in the Settings mode.)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
To know if your iPad is updated:<br />Under <b>Settings/General/Software
Update</b>-it will either attempt to update, or show you the iOS version you
have. (7.04 is currently the newest version.)<br /></div>
<div>
To make a <b>shortcut</b> to the invaluable <b>Palm Creek iPad Users'
Blog</b>:</div>
<div>
Open the <b>Safari</b> web browser, tap in the address bar to allow you to
type in the new address - www.pcipadusersgroup.blogspot.com. Then press
<b>GO</b> on the keyboard.</div>
<div>
Once you are on the iPad Users' Group site, hit the box with the arrow
pointing straight up (in the upper left corner). From the gray-outlined symbols
that appear, choose</div>
<div>
<b>Add to Home Screen</b>. At this point, change the name since you'll
only be able to read a short bit on your home screen and you want the title to
be easy to recognize. (You will NOT be able to edit the title later). Tap on
the current bold-texted title (<b>Palm Creek iPad Users Group</b>), tap the X in
a circle, then type in a better title (ie iPad Users). Then click <b>Add</b>.
You will now be able to easily go to the PC iPad Users' Group blog directly
from your home screen by tapping that shortcut icon.</div>
<div>
(Quick note - if you had chosen Add to Reading List instead of Add to Home
Screen, you would find this webpage in the future by accessing the web via
Safari, choosing the bookmark icon in the upper right (next to the cloud), then
clicking on the eyeglasses symbol to see your saved reading lists.)</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<b>Settings/Privacy/Location Services</b> Location Services SHOULD be on
for iPad apps to work well</div>
<div>
<br />Hit Home button twice-goes to <b>Multitasking mode</b>. All
applications that are currently open appear. You can switch to another
application just by tapping on the one you want to use. If you wish to close
one, simply Swipe it up. Note: having many open not only uses up the battery
faster, but slows down the performance of the iPad.</div>

<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">1st Topic: <i><b>Folders (Mailboxes) in Mail and arranging your emails. </b></i></span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Select the <b>Mail</b> Icon.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> Depending upon where you left it the last time you were in Mail, the screen may open in a specifically-named Mailbox, the Inbox, or the main Mailboxes column (verify by the black text in the center of the column filling the left side of the screen). </span></li>

</ul>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">To Move an email into the new mailbox:</span></div>
<div>

<li><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">At the upper right of the open email, select the folder icon (between the flag and trashcan)</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">From the column on left, decide on the mailbox (represented with a folder icon) that you want this email in</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Tap that folder (aka mailbox) and the open email swooshes into it.</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">2nd Topic: <b><i> Avery labels.</i></b></span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">purchase a package of labels at an Office Supply Store</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">open <b>Avery Design & Print App</b> (download it free from the App Store if you don't have it)</span></li>

<li><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">(Note: to find previously saved projects - tap the <b>Open a Saved Project</b> Tab when you first sign in)</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Next, Sandy told us about the <b>SnapGuide</b> App. It's a cool, free app that explains how to do various things with step by step instructions accompanied by detailed photos. Topics range from A-T including Arts and Crafts, Automotive, Games & Tricks, Home, Music, Pets, Photography,Sports & Technology (to name a few).</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Then Betty Davies shared how to use <b>Pinterest. </b>You can simply start by scrolling and clicking through the captioned photos that are there when you open the app. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Or you can use the <b>magnifying glass icon</b> at the bottom of the screen to <b>Search</b> for pins of interest. You'll be able to find almost anything - animals, architecture, automobiles, crafts, cooking videos from you tube, Home Decor, Humor, Kids, the list is endless! (and that's why it can be so addictive). When you see an item that looks interesting, click on it to enlarge it. Now if you tap the <b>Pin it</b> square, you can pin it to one of your boards. If the item doesn't fit any of your board categories, you can create a new board by clicking the <b> +in a box</b>. Give your new board a title, description and category, then click <b>Create</b>.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">If you simply like an item, but don't want to pin it, tap the <b>heart symbol</b>. When you go to your personal page (the person icon) and click on <b>Like</b>, it will be there.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> The <b>+ icon</b> will allow you to <b>pin your own personal photos</b> or something you've found on the web. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> The <b>person icon</b> takes you to the boards you've created from items you've pinned, but will also let you create 6 <b><i>Secret</i> boards</b> that no one can follow (in case you want to pin secret recipes, etc).</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">The <b>House</b> icon will take you back to the starting page (aka Home).</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">New topic: To see which apps are hogging space - <b>Settings</b>/<b>General</b>/<b>Usage.</b> Be patient and the Apps with how many GB or MB they're using will appear (in descending order). From there you can delete any app (>, then <i>delete app</i>) and get it back later, but if you have put data into it - you will lose that data and it won't come back when you redownload the app.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Bob Leger then explained how a thief could access the control center of your iPad and set it to Airplane mode thus disabling the <b>Find My iPad</b> feature. To prevent that, do this: <b>Settings/Control Center</b>/make sure the <b>Access on locks</b><b>creen</b> button is <b>NOT</b> green.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">He also pointed out the HDR (High Dynamic Range) function for the Camera on iPads above an iPad2. If you turn it on and take 2-3 photos consecutively, it will compile the 3 better ones and come up with the best photo.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Bob also mentioned the free <b>Shazam</b> app. It recognizes music which can be really helpful if you just can't remember the name of that song that is playing on the radio.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Finally, Sandy reminded us that we can just type a question about using our iPad into Google and we'll get answers!</span></div>

<span style="color: #010101; font-family: Calibri; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">December 7, 2013 by Peggy Aebersold-Fetzer</span></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 3.52mm; margin-left: 0mm; margin-right: 0mm; margin-top: 0.00mm; text-indent: 0mm;">
<span style="color: #010101; font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Bob Leger shared info on</span> <span style="font-size: 11pt;"><b>Textilus</b></span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> - a free Word Processor app that is compatible with Microsoft Office. You can create documents, insert photos, drawings and charts, and can send as an email.</span></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 3.52mm; margin-left: 0mm; margin-right: 0mm; margin-top: 0.00mm; text-indent: 0mm;">
<span style="color: #010101; font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Next, he quickly showed us how to manage multiple emails on the iPad in the Mail App: Once you have the Mail App open, tap "edit" on the upper right above your emails that are stacked along the left side of the screen. A clear circle appears beside each email. Tap the circles to select the emails you want, then tap the "Trash" button on the lower right (below the emails). "Trash Message" appears in red text within a bubble, giving you a second chance to confirm you want to delete the email(s). Tap that, and the selected emails swoosh into the trash can.</span></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 3.52mm; margin-left: 0mm; margin-right: 0mm; margin-top: 0.00mm; text-indent: 0mm;">
<span style="color: #010101; font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Then we broke up into groups based on user level experience. Our group of 3s & 4s chose to go around the tables and have each person share his or her favorite (or most frequently used) App. Surprisingly, almost every one of us shared something different and boy, did we learn a lot! Here is a list of the Apps shared:</span></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 3.52mm; margin-left: 0mm; margin-right: 0mm; margin-top: 0.00mm; text-indent: 0mm;">
<span style="color: #010101; font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><b>Avery Design and Print</b></span> <span style="font-size: 11pt;">(free app) - use to make your own Business Card.</span></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 3.52mm; margin-left: 0mm; margin-right: 0mm; margin-top: 0.00mm; text-indent: 0mm;">
<span style="color: #010101; font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><b>Magic Jack</b></span> <span style="font-size: 11pt;">(free app) - use to make free calls (even to Canada) but you must have access to the internet. Another caveat - when you use magic jack to place a call, the person receiving the call will see a Florida area code, so let them know ahead of time by text or email that you will be calling if they refuse to answer unrecognized phone calls. Also, you can't call MasterCard in Canada and/or some other toll free numbers. Probably because of the Florida area code.</span></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 3.52mm; margin-left: 0mm; margin-right: 0mm; margin-top: 0.00mm; text-indent: 0mm;">
<span style="color: #010101; font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><b>Pinterest</b></span> <span style="font-size: 11pt;">(free app) - use to look up and save thousands of ideas. User stated it was like having 100 magazines to browse through while her husband watches hockey. Caution, it may be addictive! :-)</span></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 3.52mm; margin-left: 0mm; margin-right: 0mm; margin-top: 0.00mm; text-indent: 0mm;">
<span style="color: #010101; font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">BTW, Sandy showed us how to find and use</span> <span style="font-size: 11pt;"><b>emojicons</b></span> <span style="font-size: 11pt;">(various little symbols) to personalize events on our Calendars so we can see at a glance what we have going on each day of the month. i.e.: Three things to attend in one day? A little computer could indicate "Computer Club"; a little cake - someone's birthday; a Dog or Cat - Vet appointment; etc. It's called the</span> <span style="font-size: 11pt;"><i>emojicon</i></span> <span style="font-size: 11pt;">keyboard. Go to: </span> <span style="font-size: 11pt;"><i>Setting</i></span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">s/</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><i>General</i></span> <span style="font-size: 11pt;">/</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><i>Keyboard/Keyboards/Add New</i></span> <span style="font-size: 11pt;"><i>Keyboard</i></span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">/Swipe through the Alphabetical list of languages to</span> <span style="font-size: 11pt;"><b>Emoji.</b></span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> Tap on Emoji, and that keyboard will be added. To access the Emojicons during regular typing, tap the World button on the keyboard (just left of the space bar). To get back to the English keyboard, tap the world button again (now on the far left).</span></span></div>

We will be limited in how many can attend. <br />
<br />
Also we are forming a group for notifications etc under our private network Nextdoor, if you are interested in joining and are a resident of the Park, please contact me and I will send you an invite.<br />
Send requests via the contact address in the upper right of this blog. <br />
<br />
Also, if you have special requests, please let Brent and I know. And most likely we will be operating and demonstrating apps using the new iOS7 system.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This was the last regular Sunday meeting for the group.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I will continue to post updates to the apps
and tips, however not on a regular schedule.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Hopefully you will continue to follow the blog and send Brent and myself a note <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">at <a href="mailto:palmcreekipad@gmail.com">palmcreekipad@gmail.com</a></b>, from
time to time to share some of the discoveries you have made over the summer.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Sunday we did an overview <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">of Evernote Food</b> as a companion app to <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Evernote.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></b>We downloaded
Evernote Food.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When it asks you to
create an account <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">DO NOT</b> <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">CREATE A NEW ACCOUNT</b> use your Evernote
user ID and password. As a reminder, your user ID can be found by going to the
home page of Evernote.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the upper left
you will see your user name, to verify, look at your account info under general
settings and look at your Evernote email address, your ID is the first portion
up to the period or dot.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Before downloading you might want a quick overview of what
Evernote Food is and does.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For those of
you who have been inputting recipes already, never fear, all will still be under
the Evernote umbrella, just presented to you in a different way.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">After installing Evernote Food we added recipes from

whether we put them directly into Evernote or got them from emails, the Web Clipper,photos

Camera+</b> apps ($.99) which allows you a zoom option, stabilizing feature, 30
second timer, a burst option for a faster shutter speed, and exposure are among
some of the neat features of this app.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It also has a menu where you can change many of the settings and auto
save to lightbox (a buffered holding area for pics ) until you really want to save
them.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>
<span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK5;"><span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK6;"><span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK3;"><span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK4;"><span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK1;"><span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK2;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Also went
over <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Panorama+</b> apps ($.99) again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A Panorama option comes with the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">iPhone 4S</b>, but to get the same option
on the iPad you need to purchase or download an app that does that for you.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK5;"><span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK6;"><span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK3;"><span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK4;"><span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK1;"><span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK2;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Another
neat photo app Brent went over was<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> Text
on Photo</b> app ($.99) but was free today on the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Apps Gone Free</b> site that is recommended by the Users Group and
needs to be checked on a daily basis for some great opportunities. Also a fun
app that Brent showed was adding cute features to current photos, this free app
is called <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Photo Editor by Aviary</b>,
however you only get a limited amount of free stickers the rest you can
purchase different categories for $.99 ea (not such a great bargain).</span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK5;"><span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK6;"><span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK3;"><span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK4;"><span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK1;"><span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK2;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><br /></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>

mentioned an app that allows you to take still photos extracted from video to
capture those special moments to get a great picture when everyone or
everything is moving.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This app<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> Video 2 Photo</b> is now $1.99 but was
available <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">for FREE on March 21 via <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Apps Gone Free.<o:p></o:p></b></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

went over some of the neat stuff you can do with default <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Maps</b> app that comes with the iPad. by turning on <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the 3D mapping function that comes with Maps <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(after opening, go to lower left corner and
select 3D, also flip the page by going to the lower right hand corner where the
page is dog-eared and select and chose Hybrid).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Select a city and zoom in to all the 3D effects of the large cities with
tall buildings.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK5;"><span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK6;"><span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK3;"><span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK4;"><span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK1;"><span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK2;"></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

mentioned was an alternative to buying a handheld GPS unit versus installing
one of the apps like Magellan Roadmate Tom Tom, or Garmin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>USA or North American versions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Links to these apps can be found under <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">LINKS TO USER APPS – Mapping Suggestions<o:p></o:p></b></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

a review of some <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Safari </b>settings,
how to set auto fill so you don’t have to fill in all the information on a
request, but you must add your own contact information into your contact
list.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also if you want to check out what
other tabs you have open on other devices, you need to turn on the iCloud
function in Safari.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is done by
going <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">into Settings, iCloud</b>, and
turning Safari to the on position.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When
you go back to Safari, a cloud will appear in the title bar.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you select it, it will show you other tabs
you have open in Safari on your other devices. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #010101; font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 17px;">This Sunday Sandy Morin did another presentation on </span><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 14px;">Evernote</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 17px;">. We reviewed the Evernote from last week by replaying the Video/Audio lesson on why you should set up Notebooks and a bit of a strategy on the subjects contained within a Notebook by Dr. Brad </span><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 17px;">Semp</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 17px;"> the founder of </span><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 17px;">Busyness.com</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 17px;"> and creator and host of the Busyness TV show.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #010101; font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 17px;">Next we viewed the Video/Audio lesson by Dr. </span><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 14px;">Semp</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 17px;"> on Developing a Tagging Strategy in Evernote.</span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0mm 0mm 3.52mm; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0mm; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: #010101; font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">We then reviewed some of the things we looked at last week. We created a note, went over some of the ways to capture information and place into Evernote. These are just a few: </span></span></div>
<ul style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; margin-bottom: 0mm; margin-top: 0mm; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<li style="color: #010101; font-family: Symbol; font-size: 11pt; margin-left: 5pt; margin-right: 0pt; padding-left: 0pt;"><div style="margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="color: #010101; font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Create a Note, Scan a Document, adding a Picture, Email Content, Record an Audio Note, Cut and Paste. These are only a few. We will be doing Web Clipping and how to Print from Evernote in upcoming weeks.</span></span></div>
</li>
</ul>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0mm 0mm 3.52mm; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0mm; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: #010101; font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">We revisited some of the settings so you can see how much of the 60 MB monthly allotment you have used and when it gets renewed (days) within Evernote. Also a review of how to use your Evernote Upload email address so that you can send emails to your Evernote account and then put them into Notebooks.</span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0mm 0mm 3.52mm; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0mm; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: #010101; font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Next week Brent will return and hopefully we can go into some fun stuff with pictures or other things Brent may want to tell us about. Also, as I did this past week, I can stay a bit and help those with Evernote or other issues after class.</span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0mm 0mm 3.52mm; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0mm; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: #010101; font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Also as a reminder, we have already collected 26 names of those of you who are interested in coming back to our classes and user group meetings for the 2013-2014</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><b>. If you have not signed up</b></span><span> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">. Please do so as there will be a wait list as soon as the room fills up. Those people whose names are on the list are considered in line.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #010101; font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 17px;">Also I would like to introduce a special</span><span> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 17px;"><b>Tip of the Week</b></span><span> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 17px;">.

<span style="color: #010101; font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Sunday, March 10, 2013</span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0mm 0mm 3.52mm; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0mm; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: #010101; font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">This Sunday Sandy Morin did a presentation on Evernote. We went through introduction to Evernote videos and got an overall perspective on how to use Evernote in our daily and business lives. Go to the side bar on the right and click on</span><span> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><u>Evernote Training Video</u></span><span> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">under the</span><span> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><u>HELP VIDEOS</u></span><span> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">section for a review. </span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0mm 0mm 3.52mm; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0mm; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: #010101; font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Glen Munro of Brain Diesel usually does videos on Microsoft stuff, but he was so impressed with Evernote, he decided to share with us some of the powerful ways that Evernote can help us in our busy lives.</span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0mm 0mm 3.52mm; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0mm; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: #010101; font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Sandy later walked us thru the steps of creating an account, creating a note, how to add an image from your Camera Roll or one you just took. We reviewed some of the settings within Evernote and also were shown how to use your Evernote Upload email address so that you can send emails to your Evernote account and then put them into Notebooks.</span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0mm 0mm 3.52mm; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0mm; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: #010101; font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">We also heard a Video/Audio lesson on why you should set up Notebooks and a bit of a strategy on the subjects contained within a Notebook by Dr. Brad Semp the founder of Busyness.com and creator and host of the Busyness TV show.</span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0mm 0mm 3.52mm; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0mm; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: #010101; font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> After watching and listening to the videos we had a work session on creating an ID and password, creating notes, creating notebooks, sending emails, and how to put some information that can be retrieved at any time from any device you have placed the Evernote application on.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #010101; font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Next week we will continue with Evernote and go into Tagging and the many ways you can add information into Evernote and how to search for it later. We will again have a work session to put our new knowledge to work.</span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: #010101; font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Hopefully everyone is checking daily the Apps Gone Free link that is located on the right under LINKS. These apps are not free forever; some of them are only a free for a limited time or just one day! So be sure to check it once a day, maybe when you check your mail, get in the habit, you can save a lot of money and gain new areas of interest.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #010101; font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Also I would like to introduce a special app of the week. This week (Sunday March 10) one of the apps which was free is</span><span> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><b><u>ActMonitor</u></b></span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">. This app keeps eye on your device usage (works on iPhone as well as iPad), battery usage and based on your charge, how many minutes you have available etc. Try it, it can tell you a lot about your iPhone or your iPad.</span></span></div>

<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.292969); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Helvetica;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong>iPad Users Group met in the Cholla Room.</strong></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We had as large group for the size of the room and most
could not get wifi access from the Ocotillo room across the street.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We still had lots to discuss.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Some of the topics were Digital Magazines.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A demonstration was shown of Better Homes
and Gardens, paper vs digital versions and how they can come to life with videos
and extra information that will pop up when selecting an info icon on the
digital version of the magazine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some of
the choices of magazines are pointed out on this Web Blog.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Check out the side panels for additional
information. In addition to Newstand there are also versions of popular magazines available from <span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #f9fcf7; color: #388222; display: inline !important; float: none; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: small/normal Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><a href="http://www.zinio.com/">www.</a></span><a href="http://www.zinio.com/"><strong style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #f9fcf7; color: #388222; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 700 small/normal Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">Zinio</strong><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #f9fcf7; color: #388222; display: inline !important; float: none; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: small/normal Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">.com</span></a></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">If anyone is familiar with Shazam, an app with the ability
to identify songs and artists, and QR Reader for scanning a program that reads
the QR Scan Codes, there is a new app on the block that does both, Digimarc
which not only does the QR scans and music scans but it also lets you detect
imperceptible digital watermarks on magazine pages.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>An example will be shown in class next Sunday
of the ones included in Cooking Light magazine.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Security issues were discussed and email questions were
answered on deleting versus archiving.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Next week we will return to the Ocotillo Room and there will
be a presentation on eBooks from the Library.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Hopefully we can have some breakout groups on various subjects. Also
some tips on Evernote Web Clipper and activating your Evernote Upload address
so that emails, and scanned documents can be stores in Evernote.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you have a chance, make sure you download
Evernote so that you can participate in the discussion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Links are are this website on the sidebar.</span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Brent discussed various new applications and reviewed some
old ones.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Group discussion on external keyboards, ZAGG keyboards which
are attached to a case, vs standalone wireless Bluetooth ones.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also made announcement that Apple is getting
ready to debut a new iPad in March/April 2013.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Went over some of the apps that you can get for free for TV
channels and programs you may have missed, like History Channel, or PBS
stations.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Demonstrated Panorama ($.99) app again and how to use
Instaquote to add descriptions or comments to your photos.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many questions came up on iCloud syncing of
photos and how they can be filtered, backed up by other means, etc.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Photo management and manipulation will
probably be a Group Breakout Session next week.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Brent did a brief overview of Flipboard - Print-style page
layouts. Streaming audio and video support. Content partnerships with major
publishers. Strong social networking features. Fast page-swiping. Looks sharp
in both portrait and landscape modes. Aggregates news, images, video, social
networking updates, and shared links.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Skype was reviewed and the MagicJack app was also introduced
for just calling US and Canada (no video) as an alternative for low cost or no
cost phone calls.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was also mentioned
that Canadians can get US apps, however, they need to go to the Apple Store
(closest is Chandler) to set up a US Apple ID.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>By doing this, this allows Canadians to access apps like Pandora and other
free apps that are available in the US but not in Canada/</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Being the sizes of the classes are getting smaller, we are
going to start a new format so that more people can get involved and share
their experiences.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Next week, starting at 1pm, there will be a discussion of
Evernote and how to use the Evernote Webclipper and also how to send emails to
be saved to Evernote, for example online order receipts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Those interested in pursuing Evernote should
go the link section of this blog and click on Evernote.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The links to download Evernote are there and
also a short introduction video to Evernote.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">After a brief discussion, we will break up in small groups
to work on evaluating and searching out the better apps for a specific
application.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Photos. Utilities and other
most-wanted topics.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Groups will be
formed on interest of specific topics.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Brent and Sandy will assist with the groups with questions on research
techniques and other questions.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Hopefully, this format will create a more relaxed and
informal group for answering and researching the many topics that there seems
to be interest in.</span></div>
