- LAPUG Monthly Meeting September 2019Once again, Apple has chosen the morning after our monthly meeting to make new product announcements. So, we won't be able to review the presentation in detail but we can speculate on what will be coming out based on reports in the Apple industry. So come on by and we'll let you know what YOU will NEED to know about the new software and how it will affect your devices. Note that macOS Catalina (soon to be released) will require all of your apps to be current, 64-bit versions so that might affect you since some of your older applications may not work after the upgrade. Come on by and we'll let you know how to find out in advance so you don't have any surprises after you upgrade. And, of course, we'll go over some other current events in the macOS world as well as review some cool Mac & iOS apps and leave some time for Q&A.2 hr 7 min

Photography on iOS has completely changed the game in the photo world. The phrase "the best camera is the one you have with you" takes on a completely different meaning when your iPhone's camera is always within arm's reach. Not only will we go over all the ins and outs of using the Camera app, but we'll also review getting images in and out of your iOS devices from other sources (digital cameras, SD cards, web sites, etc.). In addition to all that, we'll also review several other camera applications that go way beyond what Apple provides that allow you tweak your settings (aperture, shutter speed, ISO, filters, etc.) like you would with a more traditional camera. This will help make your iPhone or iPad a true digital darkroom.

- LAPUG Monthly Meeting August 2018
The new MacBook Pros have been released! If you've been following the saga involving Intel's latest processors, Coffee Lake, you'll know that Apple hasn't had any mobile products using these CPUs — until now! The cool thing is not only are they faster but Apple has included a quad-core processor (i7) for 13" MacBook Pro models and, for the first time, a six-core processor (i9) for 15" models. Along with these upgrades, Apple has doubled the maximum storage available to 2 TB in the 13" and 4 TB (!) in the 15". Of course, you'll pay for the privilege and an i9 with 4 TB in a 15" model will set you back nearly $7,000!! We'll have both 13" and 15" models on had to talk about and demo. We'll also talk about some Thunderbolt 3 accessories that are very cool. We suspect that many of you still haven't gotten on the new USB-C bus (pun intended) and there's a lot to talk about when it comes to understanding the differences between the USB-A, B, C standards as well as the USB 1, 2, 3 and 3.1 standards — not to mention mini USB and micro USB. We'll clear up all that confusion for you.
1 hr 59 min - LAPUG Monthly Meeting July 2018This month, we'll review some iOS apps you know are there but you may not use to their fullest -- or at all. We'll review and go in-depth into Wallet, Files, Maps, Messages, News, Podcasts, Voice Memos, Compass, and more. Of course, there are some third-party apps that duplicate many of these features and we'll talk about some of them, too. Also, you may have heard that Apple has moved several features from macOS Server into the macOS itself for all users to take advantage of. We'll review those features and you'll see what you can enable with just a few clicks to make your home computers and network so much more efficient and secure. And, of course, we'll go over some other current events in the macOS world as well as review some cool Mac & iOS apps and leave some time for Q&A.2 hr 13 min
