12/8/2018 0 Comments Club news - 12th Aug 2018 Hello to iTandCoffee Club members.
From this point forward, we are going to use a blog article to communicate the fortnight's news for Club members - rather than including this news in the body of the email that subscribers receive. This allows us to keep the email a lot shorter than it has been of late! So, without any further ado, here is the latest news for our Club Members. (Not a member? Why not join today.

11/8/2018 0 Comments Amazing new Parental Controls are coming to Apple mobile devices - and here's how to learn about them
What a great group of staff and parents at the Keeping kids safe on iPhone, iPad & iPod Touch workshop, held at Hartwell Primary School last week. Thank to everyone who came along.
We talked about the great new Parental Controls that will be released for Apple mobile devices in September (and lots of other essential information for parents). We so regularly hear from parents who were left terrified by what they heard at a previous Cybersafety session, but came away from that session not knowing how implement the necessary controls on their child's device/s. The feedback we get at the end of our workshop is always so positive - that the practical information provided fills the gap left by these other CyberSafety information sessions. 10/8/2018 0 Comments Your Mac's content may not be secure if it is stolen - even if it is locked by a password
Every now and then, iTandCoffee sees a Mac user who does not know their Mac's main administrator password. This so often occurs when the Mac has been set up to automatically sign in without requiring entry of a password.
Video of Mac Monday has been uploaded
Due to some late cancellations, we had only a small group at Mondays Mac user group, Mac Monday - but how lucky they were to get so many of their questions addressed.
Here are the topics that were covered:  By The drawing is signed, 'Electrical World, N.Y.' [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons Anyone who knows me knows that I am a big fan of using Siri as a wonderful productivity tool, allowing me to dictate all sorts of instructions. It can save SO much typing and means I can be productive even when I am driving, using the hands-free Hey Siri feature.
1/8/2018 0 Comments Your iPhone can provide essential information about you in an emergency - and allow it to be easily returned to you if lost If you were incapacitated or if someone picked up your locked iPhone, would it be possible for them to work out who to contact. In a medical emergency, does your iPhone provide vital information to emergency and medical professionals?
Your iPhone provides a feature called Medical ID - a feature that can be accessed even if your iPhone is locked by a passcode. It is found by accessing Emergency option that is available when an iPhone is locked - an option that allows you to call emergency services even though the iPhone is in a locked state. 
Recently, I have been seeing a huge number of my Facebook friends friend re-posting the same post (or slight variations thereof) - stating that Facebook is limiting posts from their friends and that, getting friends to leave a comment or sticker in response to their post will force Facebook to show posts from a wider range of their friends
We covered such an impressive range of topics at our Free Friday on Friday 20th July - all in just one hour! Once again, it was a great session - thanks to the members who came along.
The video of this session is now available for iTandCoffee Club members with Plus, Online or Premium membership. The video has been edited to include clear on-screen demonstrations of the topics that we discuss. 21/7/2018 0 Comments If my phone is in Do Not Disturb mode, will I still get any Government & Emergency Alerts? The Apple and Android mobile devices have a feature called Do Not Disturb, allowing you to set up a schedule of 'quiet hours' where your device will not make any noises, flash up notifications, or vibrate. The Do Not Disturb mode can also be manually activated at any other time that you need device to be quiet.
Does your Mac's Wi-Fi keep joining the wrong Wi-Fi network?
Client Keryn T contacted me yesterday because her email seemed to have stopped working, even though her Mac showed that Wi-Fi was connected and she could send and receive emails on the iPhone. |
