Important support resources include:
- Today at Apple - free workshops and studio sessions. Sign up for a "photo walk" and enjoy the experience. There are two Apple Stores in our area, Arden Fair and Roseville Galleria. Check both locations for sessions and plan your adventure day. Invite a friend or two to join you!
- MacNexus is the local "Apple Technology User Group" with morning workshops and triage on the 1st Saturday of the month at St. Marks United Methodist Church near Country Club Mall. Monthly meetings at 7-9 pm are at the Sacramento Board of Realtors Offices on the 4th Wednesday. Come to one workshop or one meeting to check out this group. Annual membership is $40. The "tech support" and friendships you get with MacNex-ians is well worth this membership fee.
- Your local Senior Center might have tech sessions. Join. Help set the agenda of topics!
- Apple Support is the online collection of references created by Apple for all their devices. Read the articles on iCloud, iPad and iPhone as well as computers. There is information on your Apple ID - your key to all things Apple.
- Apple Care+ - yes, this is an "extended warranty" but when you have a questions, problems or repairs for two years after purchase, it is fabulous to make a call 24/7. Covers online help and some repairs. Read the online information, talk to a sales associate or call 1-800/692-7753. If you did not purchase AppleCare+ when you bought your iOS device, then you can add it later, but don't wait. The time between product purchase and support could be 30 or 60 days! Call the number to find out for your case.
