Since 1979, Apple-Q has been helping people to learn about their computers, originally with the revolutionary Apple ][ series, then the Mac and now, with the phenomenal popularity of their iOS devices: the iPad, iPhone, iPod touch & Apple Watch; as well as Apple TV and online streaming services. We’re seeking new ways to assist as we move into the era of wearable tech with the Apple Watch and more to come…
Apple-Q User Group was established in 1979, initially as a club supporting users of Apple ][ computers. With the introduction of the Macintosh in 1984 and the newer iOS devices ( iPhone & iPad), our focus has continually expanded.

Today, although Apple ][ users are pretty thin on the ground we continue to support Mac, iPhone, iPad and iPod users and seek new ways to assist as we move into the era of wearable tech with the Apple Watch & Vision Pro.
There is also an extensive range of over 1000 publications:
- We release an Apple-Bug Magazine monthly with hundreds of back-issues. We also have selected Apple-Bug issues that are Public Editions (free download);
- Selected articles from our magazine are stored individually for easy search;
- Apple-Q HowTo Tutorials on many topics – in excess of 400 and growing.
