Monday 6th June 2011

Another interesting and stimulating session yesterday in the library.  A special welcome to the new attendees!  

Topics we tackled together included:-

- installation of iTunes

- how to transfer music onto a 'shuffle'..  thanks Terry..  enjoy!  For anyone else with a 'shuffle', you don't sync them, you 'autofill' them.   Easy, once you figure out how.

- how to transfer songs to a bluetooth walkman, which isn't compatible with iTunes.  Thanks to Julie, we'll all be having a look at Windows Media Player in a future session

- how to transfer ringtones from iTunes onto an iPhone.  We'll have a look at how to make your own ringtones from your music library - 20th June.

- the differences between 

1. wireless broadband flashstick-style USB modems (which give internet connection to JUST the machine they're plugged into) and 
2. wireless broadband 'hot spots' (which aren't plugged into anything, and let up to 5 devices share an internet connection).  

- For both devices, you need to buy a 'data' plan from a provider (e.g Vodafone, Telstra, Optus). They can be pre-paid (like a mobile) or you can sign up for a contract.  There are many options available, so everyone should be able to find something suitable to their needs.

I look forward to seeing you all again on the Monday 20th June - 10am to 1pm.

Until then, please feel free to add your comments and suggestions below.
