AppleMac Users Group Wednesday Workshop

Wednesday 4th December 12:30 – 2:30pm

Presenter: Bruce Ralph

MacBook Pro 2023, macOS Sonoma

Apple Notes on Mac

These meetings are more suitable for those who want a deeper understanding of the applications available with your Mac or MacBook.

Apple Notes includes powerful hidden features. Along with note-taking, it supports real-time collaboration, tags for quick filtering, and media embedding for photos, sketches, and links. You can also lock notes with Face ID or Touch ID for security. Plus, the search function indexes text within images, making any note easy to find.

These sessions are not formal, but an opportunity for interested people to converse together. I usually start with a 40 minute presentation, mixed with really interesting discussion, then coffee or tea. After that I will show ‘some interesting Mac stuff’. Bring your MacBook, or use our MacBook to follow me/us.

One to one help with your computer and device issues

When: Monday 10:00 – 12:00 pm or 12:30 – 2:30 pm (Except Public holidays)

Where:  Anvil House, 1st Floor 

Coordinator: Sandra Thorn

Our preference is to see you at Anvil House but we may be able to offer help Tuesday to Friday between the hours of 10am and 2.30pm, possibly at a different location, depending on the availability of tutors.
These options should be discussed with Sandra. 

The Help Centre tutors can assist current financial members who are new to technology or wish to improve their skills or are having problems with their portable devices. We offer ‘one on one’ assistance in a cheerful, friendly environment and while we don’t have all the answers we can usually point you in the right direction.
We can help with a number of devices such as smartphones, laptops, tablets, Apple Macs, iPads and Desktops.

Cost: $10.00 for up to 2 hours tuition (payment in cash please)
