 For those of you with old Bigpond email accounts - which we all know are very frustrating to manage when you have multiple devices - there is an easy way to move to a new email account that doesn't have the same limitations.
You can just 'auto-forward' your emails to your new account - just like a post office re-direction. This means that you don't have to change your old Bigpond email address, because you will still get emails sent to that address at your new email address. Check out this new Handy Hint, just added to the iTandCoffee Club members-only area. Members can view this tip any time - make sure you log in first.

10/12/2015 0 Comments How to set up your Gmail or Outlook email account so that it 'collects' your Bigpond, Optusnet and other POP mail for you It is a great idea to try to move away from your old-fashioned POP email account to the newer style of email account, known as IMAP.
IMAP email accounts allow you to synchronise your mail across all of your devices, avoiding double-handling of email and giving the same 'view' of all of your account's 'mailboxes'. But, as with moving house, there is usually the need to 're-direct' the mail that comes to your old address to your new address. Two of the most popular IMAP mail providers, Outlook (which is the same as Live and Hotmail) and Gmail allow you to set up your new mail account to 'pull in' all the email that goes to your old POP account. This means that you can receive all your mail, whether it be to your new email address or the old, in the one email account. But how do you go about doing this?

Some other articles about data usage6/12/2015 0 Comments Find out how to move from your old Bigpond, Optusnet, Netspace, TPG email to a better type of email account - without changing your ISP Topic for FREE FRIDAY on 11/12/15 at 9:00am If you are still using an old email account - one that makes you handle emails multiple times on iPad, iPhone and computer - you may be ready for a better style of email account that allows you to handle your email once only. With the newer style of email account you will read a message on one device, and it will be marked as read on all others; you will delete a message on one device, and it will disappear from all others; and you can view any 'sent' messages from any device. Join us for a discussion of how you can transition from your old account to this new style of account. And we will also address any other questions on Mail that we can fit into the available time of 9am-10:30am. Please RSVP if you would like to attendTo ensure we know how many people to cater for (and can fit everyone in) and can also advise of any need for changes, please RSVP for the next session before Weds Dec 9th.
 The different 'Clock' features are shown along the bottom of the screen. Tap the Alarm option (second from left) to view your existing alarms, to set new ones or remove those you don't need. To set a new alarm sound, just change the Sound associated with an existing alarm, or add a new alarm with the required Sound. This will cause all future alarms to use that same sound. Changing an existing alarmTo change an existing alarm, tap Edit at top right to, tap on one of the listed alarm times, tap on Sound, and choose the new Alarm sound
The easiest way to add or remove an alarm is using SiriOf course, you can also set new alarms using Siri.
Just say 'Set an alarm for 10am', and Siri will add an alarm for 10am either today or tomorrow (depending on whether it is before or after 10am) and set the Alarm sound to be that which you last set. You can also say 'Set an Alarm for 6:30am each weekday'. Then, to delete that alarm, say 'Delete my 6:30 alarm'. Or 'Delete all alarms' to get rid of all of them. 6/12/2015 0 Comments If you are planning a trip to China, you may need to use an email account other than Gmail
I have to say that I was not aware of this.
A client of iTandCoffee is currently in China to present at a medical conference, and contacted me a couple of days ago to say that he is unable to send and receive mail using his Gmail account in China. So I had a look online to see if this is a known issue - that the Chinese government has blocked Google and Gmail. Here's an article I found, confirming that this is the case. So, if you are planning on travelling to China, make sure you have access to an alternative email account - one that is not blocked by the Chinese government.
On your iPad, just go to Settings -> FaceTime, and turn off the option Calls from iPhone.  On your Mac, go to FaceTime -> Preferences and look for the same setting in the Settings section. Un-tick it to stop phone calls coming through to your Mac.
6/12/2015 0 Comments How and where to save email attachments (and create PDFs from web pages) on your iPad and iPhoneA new feature that arrived with iOS 9 is one that is SO handy when you want to save away a web page or, say, PDF or Word document that you receive in an email. This feature allows you save any such information to your iBooks app - one of the standard apps that Apple provides on your iPad and iPhone. iBooks is not just for downloading and reading e-books. It is also a place that you can store and manage PDF's. Saving an email attachment to iBooks

Organising your books and PDFs in iBooksiBooks allows for the grouping of books and PDFs into 'Collections', making it easier to then find documents you have saved there.
For example, why not set up a Recipes collection for all your saved recipes, and perhaps a Bills collection for all your saved bills. Maybe you deal with lots of Agendas or Minutes - so create collections of that name as well. For those of you who are not sure how to create Collections in iBooks, keep an eye out for a Handy Hint to be published in the near future on this topic. |
