20/2/2015 0 Comments This week's Handy Hint for iPad and iPhone: Quickly saving email addresses to your Contacts on your iPad and iPhoneYour iPhone and iPad are very clever at remembering the email addresses of people with whom you correspond via email. But what if you send an email to someone for the first time from your iPhone. Your iPhone will remember that email address, but your iPad won’t necessarily know about it. Even worse, if you lose one of your devices (or just switch to a new one), you may find that all the email addresses that you thought were 'saved away' were actually only 'known' to that lost device. To ensure that all devices 'know about' the email addresses of the people you contact (and who contact you), and to ensure that you don’t lose all this information if you no longer have the device, it is important that you save email addresses to your Contacts app. (Note. The same applies to phone numbers, but we'll cover that in a separate handy hint.)Your Contacts app is your Address Book on your iPhone, iPad and Mac, to which you should save all information about email addresses, phone numbers and addresses for the people in your life. Your Contacts app is your Address Book on your iPhone, iPad and Mac, to which you should save all information about email addresses, phone numbers and addresses for the people in your life. If you sign in to iCloud on each device and turn on the ‘Contacts’ setting in iCloud, you will find that all your devices can share the same address book information. This means that you only have to create or change a Contact on one device, and it will magically appear on other devices. From your Mail app, it is so easy to get the email addresses of the people with whom you correspond into your Contacts - all it takes is a couple of taps! Find out more here in this week's Handy Hint - which includes both a video AND written instructions. (Important Note. This hint will be available to all readers until Friday 27th Feb 2015. After that, only members of The iTandCoffee Club will have access to view this hint. Join the club today, and gain access to a huge number of handy hints just like this one!)

With my daughter's 21st coming up very soon (eeek!), there was, over the weekend, the need to send out a batch of invitations to some family members. Here is yet another thing that I love about my Mac! Printing of addresses on envelopes is just so easy, as long as you have people's addresses in your Contacts (which I do). It is all done using the Contacts app on your Mac. You can either
So, I set up an 'Amy Party' group in Contacts, then dragged the required Contacts into that group. Once I had the list set up , I clicked on my new Group in Contacts, and selected all of the names in the list using Command-A. I then chose File->Print, chose my envelope size, then hit the Print button! There are standard envelope sizes provided in the Print dialog, or you can customise your own envelope size and the positioning of the address on the envelope. You can even choose whether or not to include a return address at the top left of the envelope. For the envelopes I was using, I needed to quickly create a custom envelope of the required size, which I called Std Envelope (which will now be available for any future envelope printing requirements). We'll be writing a more detailed handy hint about this feature soon, for those out there who need more information than that provided above.
For now, you can check out the below link for a Macworld article which provides a pretty good overview of this fantastic built-in feature:
After trying initially to work out the source, she determined pretty quickly that she needed to call the fire brigade, who were there within 4 minutes! It turned out that the source of the smoke was a fire that had started in her computer tower, down under her desk!
While she was so incredibly lucky to have been awake and have detected the smoke so early, her poor computer was not so lucky! And while she had a back up of her important files, what she did not have on that backup was her list of contacts - all the email addresses for family, friends, work colleagues etc. So her lesson learned, she called iTea&Coffee to find out the best way of ensuring now that her contacts (especially) are 'cloud-based' so that she can access them even if something were to happen to her computer. She was very keen for me to get the message out to other iTea&Coffee clients and subscribers about the lesson she has learned - don't think this sort of thing can't happen to you! If you need help with better understanding or putting in place any cloud storage solutions for your contacts and other important data, just contact iTea&Coffee on 1300 885 420 - or email enquiry@itandcoffee.com.au. |
