September 14, 2015 - Hammondsport Mac Users Group ATTENDING : Tom B, Gene N, Larry T, John M, Dottie E, Al J, Jerry L. TOPIC : PHOTOS (the application)
Last spring Apple introduced a new app known as 'Photos' to replace iPhoto. We watched a couple good video tutorials on the similarities, differences and new features by Gary at MacMost : Viewing and Organizing Photos In the New Photos App 4/13/15 (6:48) Editing With the Photos App 4/29/15 (7:32) Mac Photos App Tips and Tricks 5/6/15 (7:47)
Jerry's Recent Experience with Malware (?) Jerry L gave us a report on his recent experience of losing his Mac hard drive and external backup clone to a possible malware (or maybe just a freak coincidence). Fortunately he was able to replace all lost files from other backup sources. The problem began when he volunteered to take a look at a friend's external HD which could not be opened. Jerry highly recommended making regular backups using Apple's Time Machine app, as well as cloning with Carbon Copy Cloner ($39) or SuperDuper (free).
