MacMAD Presentation Meeting for Tuesday, September 17, 2024
Helpful Basics On-Line
Tonight’s meeting is primarily an on-line demo. But, here are some supplementary on-line references oriented towards the basic iPhone or iPad user.
iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 have just been released, so the User’s Guides will probably be updated accordingly. For the beginning user, the biggest difference is probably that the Control Center looks slightly different now.
- MacMAD Blog Post on Basic iPhone Gestures
- Apple’s iPhone User Guide
- Apple’s iPad User Guide
- How to use Assistive Access for Extremely Basic iPhone operation (Apple)
- Playlists of Apple Support Videos on YouTube (Short single-topic videos)
Workflows
On-Line Demos of common tasks.
Use Settings to:
- See your device’s model (is this an iPhone 11 or iPhone 12?)

- Sign in to iCloud – You are probably already signed in.
Note – Almost ALL iPhone & iPad owners have an iCloud account, whether you know it or not. If you are paying any amount monthly for iCloud, you have an iCloud+ account.
