Not sure how many iTandCoffee clients will be racing out to buy this new iPad when it is in November this year, but it I think iTandCoffee will definitely need to get to 'play' with and show off!
Here's an article that outlines the features of this brand new addition to the iPad family.

iOS 9 will be available for download in Australia from September 17th.
For those of you wondering whether to download this new version as soon as it appears, I would suggest waiting a week or two for others to discover early 'teething problems'. Perhaps wait for the first 'update' release - or until iTandCoffee includes a newsletter article recommending to go ahead. Here's a summary of the main changes in iOS 9
What devices will be able to run iOS 9
Any device currently running iOS 8 will be able to upgrade to iOS 9 Want to read more about iOS 9?
Just to cap off the list of changes for us Apple-ified households, Apple will also be delivering a new version of the OS X operating system for Macs on September 30th.
OS X 10.11 has been named El Capitan. It does not include a huge number of stand-out new features - it is more of a 'tweak' upgrade, and introduces the new improved Notes app. I've included a MacWorld article at the bottom for those of you who want to find out more about this upgrade. Here's the list of Macs that El Capitan will run on.
Today, for some very strange reason, all calls coming in to my iPhone 6S were going straight to my voicemail - the phone wouldn't even ring once! I thought I must have muted my phone, but nothing I did in relation to the volume or muting switch seemed to help. I tried doing a hard re-boot of the device - no avail. When I tried ringing the phone from a landline, straight to voicemail it went every time. So, I checked my Mobile settings (in Settings -> Mobile or, for some phones, Settings -> Cellular). My iPhone was, at the time, showing 3G in the Voice & Data setting. (I had set it to 3G recently when I recently had limited signal on the 4G network.) As soon as I changed this setting back to 4G, my phone worked fine - calls no longer went direct to Voicemail. To test if this was the problem, I changed the Voice & Data setting back to 3G and found that, again, calls went straight to Voicemail. So, the 3G network was definitely the problem in this case - and moving to 4G provided the solution. Has anyone else suffered the same problem today? With the move to the new iTandCoffee shop in High Street, it was also time to revamp the whole 'look' of the iTandCoffee logo, website, this newsletter and more! So, here it is! The new logo for iTandCoffee. Big thanks go to Chris Beasleigh from OK 29 Creative Agency (OK29.com.au) for the artwork and new 'look', and to wordsmith Alan Goldstein. They have done an amazing job. Why not check out our new Home Page to see the new look in action, including the great new catchphrase coined by Alan - 'Relax, we'll help you get iT'. I just love that happy little iPad - it makes me smile! We can fit in two more people for this great class next week, where we will together make a digital photo book from your very own photos. Bring along your laptop, or we can provide one for you, and some digital photos. We'll show you how easy it is to create these beautiful books - as gifts, or momentos of occasions or holidays. You'll get one started, learn how to use a great online tool to arrange your photos, and then be able to continue your creation from home. Click/tap here to find out more or to book. Don't delay! Very recently, the iTandCoffee Handy Hint Newsletter featured an article/hint about how to set up a customised email signature on your iPad and iPhone. Since then, I have been asked a few times how to do the same thing on a your Mac. The image shown here gives you an idea of just how you can put whatever you like into your signature - and also showcases the new iTandCoffee logo and catchphrase! So, here are the instructions of how to create an email signature in Mac Mail, feature in a new Handy Hint for iTandCoffee Club members. (Sign in here first, if you are not already signed in.)

It is something that is so simple, but often undiscovered by many iPad users. There is such an easy way to adjust the brightness of your screen or your device's volume, without ever having to visit your Settings app. Just visit your Control Center, which is accessed by swiping up from below the bottom of your screen. Your volume controls are on the left, and brightness controls are on the right. Here's a quick video for those who need it. Great news for all 'middle aged' iTandCoffee clients and subscribers who are getting in to their technology. An article from The Age this weed said that our use of all this technology - including having to remember all those annoying passwords - is helping to keep our brains young! Just like these gorgeous young ladies who attended the "Managing your Passwords" workshop today, and greatly enjoyed to cookies baked by my sons!
