  2. TMUG: 8 MAY 2017 AGENDA • Welcome to new members • Anyone get a new Apple "toy" since we last met? • What's New in the Wonderful World of Apple? • New products and some Tips & Tricks • Farewell… last formal TMUG presentation, but not the last of TMUG!

  3. APPLE WHAT'S NEW IN THE WORLD OF APPLE • Apple announced that it will extend the warranty on the first-generation Apple Watch if it breaks due to battery issues even if it's already older than two years. • Apple recently updated several of its Mac and iOS apps, making them available for all Mac and iOS users for free. • iMovie, Numbers, Keynote, Pages, and GarageBand for both Mac and iOS devices have been updated and are now listed in the Apple Store for free. • Previously, all of these apps were provided for free to customers who purchased a new Mac or iOS device, but now that purchase is not required to get the software. Many Apple customers were already likely eligible to download the software at no cost if they had made a device purchase in the last few years.

  4. APPLE WHAT'S NEW IN THE WORLD OF APPLE • Rumor mill guesses that there is more than a 50% chance that Apple will announce its first home artificial intelligence (AI) product at their developers conference in June and start selling in the second half of the year • It will compete with Amazon’s Echo (“Alexa”) and is thought that it will have "excellent acoustics performance" with one woofer and seven tweeters, and computing power similar to iPhone 6 or iPhone 6s. • Apple is rumored to be working on a money transfer service that would allow iPhone owners to send money digitally to other iPhone owners • It is expected that Apple will announce this new service later this year.

  5. APPLE WHAT'S NEW IN THE WORLD OF APPLE • Last week Apple announced plans to launch dozens of new educational sessions next month in all 495 Apple stores ranging in topics from photo and video to music, coding, art and design and more. • The hands-on sessions, collectively called " Today at Apple ," will be led by highly-trained team members, and in select cities world-class artists, photographers and musicians, teaching sessions from basics and how-to lessons to professional- level programs. • In 100 of its biggest stores, like the San Francisco flagship, Apple's "hardware" update means new screens and spaces for meetings and classes. The Genius Bar, now lined with trees, becomes the Genius Grove. And there's a more dimensional take on the Genius: new staffers specialized in music and photography called "Creative Pros."

  6. APPLE WHAT'S NEW IN THE WORLD OF APPLE • Apple plans to create a $1 billion fund to invest in U.S. companies that do advanced manufacturing • The new fund will support U.S. manufacturing and its first investment will be announced in sometime in May. • Apple’s market capitalization on Friday hit $774.7 billion • As of noon today, Apple stocks were up by $4.47 in today’s trading!

  7. APPLE WHAT'S NEW IN THE WORLD OF APPLE • Apple Watch sales nearly doubled year over year. Apple Watch is the best selling and most loved smartwatch in the world • AirPods are selling fast with a 98% customer satisfaction rating based on a recent survey

  8. TIPS & TRICKS HOW TO CLEAN AND DISINFECT YOUR IPHONE • Make a cleaning kit: • Get 70 percent or higher rubbing alcohol, finely pointed q-tips, and toothpicks. You should also grab a pack of microfiber cloths, as well as a can of compressed air, which is particularly good for blowing out dust from the inner-most parts of the phone. • For complete How-To details for cleaning your iPhone, go to http://www.imore.com/how-clean-and-disinfect-your-iphone? utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+TheIphoneBlog+ %28iMore%29

  9. TIPS & TRICKS SAFE TIP AGAINST OPENING MALWARE • If you receive an email with an attachment at all , do some due diligence to make sure it's from a legitimate source. • Check the sender address to make sure it is from an address you recognize. • Click on the sender's name to view the email address it was sent from to make sure it's not a spoofed email. Looks suspicious… Obviously a Fake Name • If you're still unsure, confirm with the sender by texting, calling or sending a separate email asking if the attachment is legit.

  10. TIPS & TRICKS SAFE TIP AGAINST OPENING MALWARE • Another example of a phony message… check out the spelling Expect to make USD250 - USD500 per Evaluation completed. Put U inf0 to sign up m.a.i.l: 1. E.m.a.i.l: 2. Full N.a.m.e: 3. F.u.l.l A.d.d.r.e.s.s: ( City, State, Zip ):h.o.n.e. #: 5. Current.Job: Looks pretty suspicious to me….

  11. TIPS & TRICKS SAFE TIP AGAINST SELLING ON CRAIG’S LIST OR OTHER RESALE SITES • If you sell items on Craig’s List or on similar sites, here are some cautionary tips to help you from being scammed by a crook • The following examples are excerpts from “a potential buyer” that I sometimes see in response to a posting of items of higher value • In this case, I had posted an item for sale on behalf of a neighbor; we had decided to try to sell the item for $1200 (the item was only 18 months old and originally cost the owner $3000 new) • Within 8 hours of my posting on Craig's List I received a series of emails from a “potential buyer” that read as follows: Buyer’s Email #1: “Am interested in buying ______ and have a few questions” My Email Response #1: “I am selling this for a neighbor; please let me know what you would like to know. Buyer’s Email #2: “Email back with your real email address to discuss, am having hard time sending through this link” My Email Response #2: “Sorry, I cannot do that; you are doing just fine with this site. I also do not share address or phone information until a firm commitment on your part to purchase any item. If your cannot proceed with an honest discussion, I will ignore your queries. Continued

  12. TIPS & TRICKS SAFE TIP AGAINST SELLING ON CRAIG’S LIST OR OTHER RESALE SITES Buyer’s Email #3: “My name is Justin, I hope it can be picked up in 2 days if we have an agreement? I can only pay through PayPal which I believe is secure. Please send me more pictures because I will not be able to see it myself due to work and my location but I have a hauler who will come for pickup once payment is confirmed. Let me know asap.” My Email Response #3: “I do not accept PayPal and I only sell to a buyer who appears in person; no hauler substitutes. Just don’t bother me with any more of your scams… you are not the first, but the routine is always the same. Now go find a real job!!! This is the end of the discussion!” • If you sell on Craig's List, beware of similar scams… don’t get sucked into giving any information about yourself until you have a comfortable feeling about the buyer. • 98% of the buyers I work with are honest; you can often tell just by their written tone and the types of questions they ask. I sell as many as 10-20 items a month on behalf of Trilogy neighbors, and I have yet to fall for a scam… let’s hope I never will…. • In the example above, from the first I had a inkling that this might not be a legitimate offer, but by the time the second email came in I was pretty sure that this was going to be a potential scam and that I would limit my responses • If you have any questions or need help selling on Craig’s List or similar sites, I’d be happy to help out.

  13. Free in the iOS App Store TIPS & TRICKS GOOGLE DUO • Google Duo is a video chat mobile app available on the iPhone, iPad and Android • Similar to Apple’s FaceTime, but for iPhone users it real use is to contact Android users • Duo is based on phone numbers, allowing users to call someone from their contact list

  14. $19.99 in the Mac’s App Store TIPS & TRICKS GEMINI 2… REMOVE DUPLICATE PHOTOS & FILES • If you want to clean up your Mac, but are afraid about digging around in your files and accidentally deleting something important, Gemini 2 has a lot to offer and makes the whole process very simple. • This app, by the same people who created CleanMyMac, automatically finds duplicate files and wipes them away and recovers tons of space on your Mac. Note: If you delete something by mistake, Gemini moves duplicates to the Trash and lets you bring them back in a click. This gives you the option to create a “duplicate” folder and store the duplicates there until you are totally satisfied that you want to delete them from your Mac • Go to https://macpaw.com/gemini to see a demo of Gemini 2 and get a free download to try it out on your own

  15. TIPS & TRICKS DELETE ALL MAIL ON YOUR IPHONE • If you want to delete all your email on your iPhone, select “All Inboxes” and then click on “Edit;” you will then see an option at the bottom of the screen that shows “Mark All;” that will let you delete all of your email with one push
