SUMMARY:Keeping Track of People
DESCRIPTION:The Contacts app is probably the most boring app on your Apple device. But in many ways\, it’s also the most important. Your iPhone\, iPad\, or Mac is first and foremost a communications device. Think of all the ways you communicate with people (phone calls\, email\, video calls\, texting) and it’s the Contacts app that makes all of this easy. \n\n\n \nAre you a member?

Join today!\n\nMeeting Summary\nSummary was generated by ai and may contain inaccuracies. \nWebsite Launch and Contacts App Presentation \nMike Kwasniak initiated the meeting and introduced Chita\, the moderator for the day. Mike Kwasniak announced the launch of their new website\, www.naplesmug.com\, and shared their intention to speak at the next meeting about color photography. Mike Matthews then took over the presentation\, discussing the significance of the contacts app on various devices. They highlighted the importance of maintaining accurate and complete contact cards\, using photos\, and adding one’s own information. Mike also demonstrated how to use the contacts app on the Mac. No questions were raised during this presentation. \nContact Management System Features \nMike Matthews discussed the features of a contact management system. They highlighted the ability to add comprehensive information about contacts\, including birthdays\, addresses\, and photos\, and demonstrated how to add these details and create lists or groups for efficient communication. They also mentioned the ability to use the Apple’s mail app to fill in email addresses for a list of contacts and explained the smart list feature on the Mac contacts app\, which allows users to sync contacts across devices via iCloud and creates lists that automatically update based on specific criteria. Finally\, Mike mentioned the search field at the top of the screen\, which can be used to search for any specific information within the contacts app. \nContacts Card Relationship and Customization Tutorial \nMike Matthews explained how to add a brother and sister relationship in the contacts card\, which includes a tutorial on adding custom labels. The discussion also covered the ability to add multiple spouses’ phone numbers and birthdays. However\, Mike suggested that the app works best with one person per card\, even when splitting spouses. Later\, Mike provided information on the settings window for the contacts app and how to customize the display preferences. \nContact Sorting and Display Options \nMike Matthews discussed the sorting and display options for contacts in a contacts app. They explained that contacts can be sorted by last name or first name\, and that the display order can be customized to show the first name first. They also mentioned a feature called short name format\, which is useful for group chats where space might be limited. Mike further discussed the option to store contacts with different internet companies like Google\, Apple\, or Yahoo\, but recommended keeping all contacts in one place for simplicity. They also touched on the ability to change the template for new contact cards\, the universal Vcard format for contact information\, and a feature called ‘private me card’ which allows selective sharing of personal information. \nContacts\, Syncing\, and List Making \nMike Matthews and Chita addressed questions related to settings and list creation. They discussed the issue of contact duplication\, with Mike suggesting that it might be due to syncing or transferring contacts between devices. They advised caution when using the ‘Merge Duplicates’ command and recommended exporting the entire contacts archive as a backup before proceeding. They also discussed the process of merging duplicate contacts in the contacts app\, emphasizing that it’s useful when there are only a few duplicates. Lastly\, they addressed a question from Billy about list making\, confirming that it can now be done on the phone as well. \nContacts App Features and Sharing Concerns \nMike Matthews discussed the new feature in the phone contacts app that allows the creation of lists and the addition of individuals to those lists. They also addressed Karen’s question about sharing a list of over a hundred email addresses with another block leader without exposing everyone’s identity. Mike suggested using the BCC field to put the addresses in the body of the email\, and the recipient could then create contacts from that. They also touched upon Mary’s query about keeping Nugmug addresses separate from personal contacts. However\, they clarified that it’s not possible to import a group without integrating it into the existing contacts. Finally\, they acknowledged Betty’s issue with the Mac’s contacts app being uncooperative\, and suggested using iCloud as an alternative. \nContact List Management Concerns \nKeith Kaiser raised a concern about the absence of a nickname field in the smart list creation. Mike Matthews suggested a workaround\, which involved using the note field to store the nickname for each contact. Cynthia Nicholson then asked if they could merge their husband’s contact list onto their computer without overwriting theirs. Mike explained a method involving exporting and importing a contact archive\, which could potentially lead to duplicate contacts. They advised keeping both duplicates and suggested a shortcut to manage the process more efficiently. \nContacts List Management and Features Demonstration \nMike Matthews discussed the use of the option key in the contacts list and its significance in understanding which list a selected contact is on. They also touched on the process of cleaning up the contacts list to eliminate duplicates. They emphasized the importance of maintaining comprehensive and accurate contact information for easier use across various apps such as the mail and messages app\, shared documents\, and the health app. They further discussed the features of the maps app\, including the search for contacts within the app\, the airdrop feature\, and the ability to filter messages based on known contacts and businesses. They demonstrated the list feature on the phone and explained how all list management can be done directly on the phone or iPad. Lastly\, they demonstrated how to use the contacts app on a phone or iPad to send emails to specific contacts. \niCloud Contacts Storage and Merging Solutions \nMike Matthews discussed the use of iCloud for storing contacts\, providing a solution for Don and Carolyn’s issues with duplicate contacts. Ed raised a concern about Siri not recognizing a company name when a contact’s name is included\, which Mike couldn’t resolve. Karen brought up a problem with printing a block leader or member list\, which Mike suggested could be a bug. Finally\, Jurij asked about merging two duplicate lists of contacts\, to which Mike proposed a workaround using the Mac’s drag-and-drop feature. \nEfficient Dialing Methods and Contact Sharing Features \nStephen suggested a method to Mike Matthews for dialing numbers with extensions more efficiently. They advised creating a contact with a fake name and adding a phone number with an extension. Stephen also mentioned a workaround for Mac users to dial numbers\, which involves pressing a comma after typing the number. Chita then clarified the difference between rebuilding and retrieving in the context of the contacts database. A participant\, Fred\, raised an issue about frequent failures in dialing numbers from the Mac\, which Mike suggested might be related to the number not being set up for FaceTime. Finally\, Mike demonstrated a feature on the phone that allows users to share specific information about a contact.

SUMMARY:Preview: The Mac’s Swiss Army Knife
DESCRIPTION:The Preview app has been a part of the Mac for over 20 years\, but many folks don’t even know of its existence. You can use it to view and manipulate PDF files\, mark up documents\, fill out forms\, view images and change their file formats\, and more. \n\n\n \nAre you a member? Log in to view the full presentation. Not a member? Join today!\n\nSummary\nSummary was created by ai and may contain inaccuracies. \nIdentifying Participants and Board Election Preparations \nMike Kwasniak introduced the attendees and highlighted Chita’s role as the moderator. Eckart took over\, discussing official matters such as the annual meeting for their membership in January 2024 and the need for board members to be reelected or newly elected. He also announced the necessity of a nominating committee for the upcoming board election and suggested that three members be nominated from the floor at the next meeting for this purpose. Mike Kwasniak expressed gratitude to everyone who attended the impromptu beginners’ message board meeting on Saturday\, which saw around 130 people in attendance. Next week\, Chita is scheduled to present a preview of the instructors and classes for the 2024 classes program. Mike Matthews was introduced to discuss the preview app on the Mac\, which he referred to as a Swiss army knife of sorts. Mike Matthews has attended several meetings over the past months. \nOverview of Preview App’s PDF Features \nMike Matthews provided a detailed overview of the Preview app\, which has been part of Mac OS since 2001. He explained that it initially functioned as a simple PDF and image viewer\, but has since gained additional features. Mike discussed the purpose of PDFs as a way to share documents across different platforms and software\, and highlighted Preview’s capabilities with PDFs and images\, such as viewing\, printing\, converting\, annotating\, filling out forms\, combining files\, and protecting files. He also mentioned that Preview is free\, faster to use than some other products\, and has advanced significantly over time. Towards the end of the meeting\, Mike opened a PDF file to demonstrate its features. Chita did not have any questions at this point. \nPDF Interface and Troubleshooting \nMike Matthews provided a detailed tour of a PDF file’s interface\, highlighting various features such as the thumbnail view\, continuous scroll\, table of contents\, highlighting and note-taking options\, and bookmarking. He also discussed the use of a contact sheet for viewing the layout of a document with many graphics. The team also assisted in troubleshooting closed captioning issues and controlling the screen share. \nProxy Icon and PDF Sharing Instruction \nMike Matthews instructed Chita and Eckart on how to use the proxy icon to send a PDF file through the mail app. Chita suggested that Mike should share the app instead of his desktop to avoid editing out unnecessary content in the recording. Mike agreed and demonstrated how to share the document window. Eckart provided a workaround to hide the participant panel in the recording by adjusting the zoom view. Mike continued his presentation\, discussing the Inspector Button and the Inspector Panel. He explained how to search for keywords within the document\, adjust permissions settings\, change the size of the document\, navigate through pages\, add notes and highlights\, and rotate images. However\, he did not provide an in-depth demonstration of the markup feature. \nIntroducing Document Creator’s Tool for PDF Editing \nIn the meeting\, Mike Matthews introduced the document creator’s tool that allows users to fill in forms and search for text in word processing documents. He also clarified how to use the search function in traditional word processing documents and PDFs. Questions were raised about the file storage location after making edits in Preview\, the possibility of reordering and deleting individual pages in PDFs\, and the ability to extract pages from a PDF. Mike suggested using the Sidebar to select pages and dragging them to the desktop to create a new PDF. He also touched on the topic of combining multiple PDFs into one. Finally\, Mike demonstrated how to search for words within images in a PDF\, explaining that OCR technology can recognize and attach text to the document in the background\, making it searchable. \nPreview App Demonstration: Image Editing and Conversion Techniques \nMike Matthews gave a demonstration on how to work with different file formats and convert images using the Preview application. He explained how to open various file formats and export files into different formats using the file menu. Mike also highlighted the app’s editing capabilities\, such as editing text within an image and recognizing objects within the image. He further introduced the magnifier tool for a closer look at specific parts of an image. Additionally\, he discussed the features of the app for adjusting photo colors\, exposure\, contrast\, saturation\, and temperature. Mike also mentioned the ability to change the dimensions of photos\, select specific areas\, and use annotation tools like adding rectangles and speech bubbles. Lastly\, he demonstrated how to add a signature to a photo and use other tools like rotating and flipping the photo. \nPreview and PDF Editing Discussion \nIn the meeting\, the team discussed photo editing in Preview and PDF files. Mike Matthews clarified that changes made in Preview\, when saving\, are generally destructive to the original image. Chita mentioned that when using the ‘revert to’ command in the file menu\, it saves different versions of the file\, allowing users to resurrect previous versions. The team also touched on the issue of adding whitespace to images for annotation without writing on top of the image\, which Mike admitted was not possible using the standard tools. Lastly\, Billy Mckee raised a question about the difference in file size between a scanned PDF and an Apple version of the same book\, which Mike suggested could be due to the indexing process. \nApple Preview Features Discussion \nMike Matthews discussed the functionalities of Apple’s Preview application with Karen Lewis\, Don Peacock\, Jane Wood\, A.W.\, and Chita. The group inquired about highlighting and annotating text\, extracting signatures from PDFs\, image manipulation\, undo actions\, markup tools\, and creating a single PDF from multiple files. Mike clarified the features and answered the questions to the best of his ability. He also demonstrated the use of the lasso selection tool\, the magnifier\, and the addition of pages to the sidebar. However\, there was a minor issue with a file crash during the demonstration. \nMac Application Features and Issues Discussion \nChita\, Mike Matthews\, and Bob Jacobs discussed issues and features related to a Mac application. Mike provided guidance to Bob on how to fix the toolbar and customize the application. He also explained how to set a default app for opening specific files like PDFs\, noting that Preview was generally faster for this task. Mike also highlighted the redact feature\, which permanently deletes selected text in a PDF document. Mike Matthews led a discussion on how to add notes to a document using markup tools. He explained that a button in the document opens up a note that appears in yellow and can be used to add reminders or comments. Mike demonstrated how to view and edit these notes in the sidebar\, and how to navigate back to them from different parts of the document. He also introduced the use of a form-filling button for documents created by the IRS. \nDigital Signatures and Redaction Tool in Preview \nMike Matthews and Bob Jacobs discussed the challenges of digital signatures and a redaction tool in Preview\, as raised by James. Mike suggested a workaround for creating a signature file using a Mac’s camera feature. Mike also clarified that Preview doesn’t have specific controls for scanner management and recommended using printer software or a separate scanner software for scanning. Later\, EdieG sought Mike’s help in adding text via Preview and moving it around. Mike guided her through the process. Keith Kaiser inquired about the availability of Preview on the iPad\, which Mike confirmed hasn’t been developed yet. Chita thanked Mike for his presentation\, and the attendees expressed their appreciation in the Q&A session.

We’ll show you how Focus Mode can help you quiet down your iPhone. \n\n\n \nThis is a teaser of our meeting. Are you a member? Log in to view the entire video. Not a member? Join today!\n\nSummary\nThis summary was written by AI and may contain inaccuracies. \nCustomizable Do Not Disturb Feature Explained\nMike Matthews discussed the functionality and customization of a do not disturb feature on a phone app. He explained that users can choose to allow notifications only from a selected few individuals or apps\, while blocking everyone else. The process involves adding people or apps to an approved list\, with the option to also allow repeated calls. Mike also highlighted the time-sensitive notification switch\, which allows apps not in the allowed list to send notifications marked as time-sensitive. \nCustomizing Lock Screens for Enhanced Focus\nMike Matthews discussed ways to customize lock screens and home screens to enhance focus during meetings. He noted the possibility of dimming the lock screen to reduce distractions and selecting a specific lock screen or home screen when focus mode is activated. Mike estimated the range of available focus modes to be between 10 and 12. He also discussed the idea of a focused home screen for exercise sessions\, including only relevant apps like fitness\, podcast\, and music apps\, and the implementation of a ‘Focus mode’ that can be manually activated or set to activate at specific times. \nSmartphone Customization Discussed\nMike Matthews discussed the functionality and benefits of smart activation and manually scheduled focus modes on phones. He gave examples of how these features could be used to customize phone settings for different situations\, like turning off notifications during church or while driving. However\, there was some uncertainty about how to add customized options like “driving” to the list of available modes. Ward expressed his struggle with the maps app on his watch incorrectly predicting his home route after appointments\, which was an issue neither Mike nor Chita could resolve in the meeting. Chita agreed to look into it further. \nTuning Notifications With Focus Filters\nMike Matthews discussed the ‘Focus Filters’ tool\, which provides fine-grained control over notifications during specific modes. He noted its usefulness for those working from home\, as it allows for the filtering of specific apps and messages. Mike also highlighted the ability to block certain people and features of apps\, and to customize system settings when certain focus modes are turned on. He concluded by stating that the implementation of these features depends on individual preferences. Mike also detailed how to use the focus mode feature on a phone\, explaining that users can enable it through Siri or the control center\, and can set it for a specific duration or until they leave a specific location. He suggested consolidating multiple focus modes into one using the focus switch. \nTroubleshooting Focus Mode and Do Not Disturb Settings\nGill had an issue with her phone’s focus mode\, which had set several different modes by itself due to information from her calendar. Mike Matthews suggested that the Do Not Disturb settings might be triggering the focus mode. Bruce suggested that the watch app on maps contains settings to turn off various alerts and Siri suggestions for maps\, which could potentially resolve Gill’s issue. There was a discussion about the functionality of the “Do Not Disturb” feature on phones. Sheila raised an issue with only seeing the first three system filters and not the “Silent Mode.” Mike helped Sheila and Giovanni with their phone settings issues\, explaining the use of the focus feature on their Macs. Mike also discussed the availability of help resources\, noting that the newest iPhone user guide was not found in the Books app\, despite usual updates correlating with new software or devices. \nOS and Mouse Issues: A Discussion\nRobert raised an issue regarding his mouse experiencing intermittent issues every 1550 minutes\, which Chita suggested might be related to the operating system and system specifications. Mike suggested an alternative mouse brand that had resolved his similar issues. Chita and Robert agreed that the issue seemed to be a combination of the operating system and the Intel system. Additionally\, Sandy raised a question about the Apple Watch’s new operating system\, specifically regarding the visibility of frequently used alarms. Mike and Dan provided some insights on the changes in the new operating system\, with Dan expressing a similar dissatisfaction with the new system’s lack of favorites. Mike suggested a workaround involving the use of the control center and recent apps. Sandy found this helpful. \nFinder\, Alarms\, Syncing Issues and Unsyncable Videos\nFred expressed issues with the Finder forgetting its history\, which he found solved by relaunching the Finder from the Dock. Mike suggested that Sheila could add a complication for the alarms app to her watch face for easier access. Jane brought up her ongoing syncing issues with YouTube videos\, specifically certain videos from a specific user\, which she could not get to sync between her two MacBook Pros. Chita suggested that these videos might be intentionally set up not to sync\, although Jane expressed confusion as to why this would be the case. \nSecurity\, Photography\, and Promotions\nGeorge emphasized the importance of installing focus modes in security systems and receiving notifications from security companies. Chita presented the NMUG photography showcase\, with Robert Kenedi being the first presenter. Mike Kwasniak announced a special promotion encouraging attendees to join NMUG and invite others. Mike Matthews presentation was well-received by multiple attendees\, including Mike Kwasniak\, Joan\, Victoria\, Carl\, Mary\, Robert Wright\, China\, Rick\, Scott\, Ward\, James\, Edwin\, Giovanni\, Liam\, Dan\, Eileen\, and Chita. Several unidentified speakers also expressed their appreciation.
