Dear iPhone Fans,
It was good to see such a good turnout for our second session, and welcome to those who joined us for the first time. I hope we got everyone set up with WiFi and links to the Renaissance Society website and the Apple Support Group blog. It is important that you set up the Apple Support Group blog as a link on your Home screen since this is the way we will record attendance at each session, and it is your link to many resources that will help you learn more about the full range of functions on your iPhone. In case you do not have the link yet, here is how to do it:
- Tap the Safari icon (looks like a compass) and type in the Search section: http://rsiosseminar.blogspot.com, then tap Go
- You will be directed to the blog. Scroll to the bottom of the page and tap View Web Version
- Once in the web version, tap the Share icon (the box with the arrow)
- You will see several icons; tap Add to Home Screen
- You will see a title for the link; you can use the default title or type in one of your own
- Then tap Add (at the top of the screen), and the Blog icon will appear on your home screen.
More Resources: iPad/iPhone Website
On the Apple Support Group page, scroll down the right hand column until you find Visit the iPad and iPhone Basics website anytime. Tap on the highlighted words to go the the website. You can download this link to your Home Screen by following the same process that you did for the Apple Support Group blog (described above). Copies of the presentations from the Basics sessions are posted on this site.
Closing Open Web Pages
Some of you had trouble with the Search section automatically entering another web page address. You can close any active webpages by tapping the icon at the bottom of the screen that looks like two stacked sheets of paper. All the webpages you have open will appear, and you can delete any by tapping the X in the upper left hand corner or each webpage.
Be sure to set up your current email accounts on you iPhone. Tap Settings (icon that looks like a gear), scroll down and tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Tap Add Account and then select your email service, and add a name, your current email address and password.
iOS 7
Be sure to update your iPhone to the iOS 7 operating system. Tap Settings, then tap General, then tap Software Update. If your phone is not update to iOS 7.0.2, you will be instructed on how to update.
Specific Problems
The iPhone/iPad Troubleshooting session is held alternating Fridays from our class in the same room, Eureka 106, from 9:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Drop in if you have some specific problems with your iPhone.
Looking forward to our next session, Friday, October 11, and until then....happy iPhoning,
Nancy Findeisen and the rest of the iPhone Team - Carol Dabrowiak, Rik Larson, Pac Polin, and Stan Todd
