If you followed the previous HowTo Video: Access Apple-Q Meeting Server and Quit Discord while you were still in the Meeting, then all that you have to do is start Discord again and you will still be located there. Also if you quit Discord without logging off, then restarting Discord will automatically log you in again.

Another advantage of the Apple-Q-Cloud is that it has apps that you can add to it to increase functionality. One such app is Calendar. Not only can you log on to view the Apple-Q-Calendar online but you can now have it synced with the Calendar app on your Mac or iOS device. Any changes to the online calendar will also be seen on your own calendar.
Update: Subscription to Apple-Q-Calendar is greatly simplified! It can be done in as little as 3 clicks!
Here is how... (Mac Version) [there is also an iOS version]

Once you have downloaded the Discord app, registered an account, and accepted the invitation to the Apple-Q Meetings Server, it is very easy to access it and join in.

Once you log into the Apple-Q web site you often do not have to log in again with your password. This is due to the security authentication process that is used. Passkeys are exchanged with the site and is remembered by your web browser. So all that is required is for you to Grant Access.

Depending on your settings within your browser it may also keep this passkey active even after you close your web browser.

Apple Macs come with a Hardware Diagnostic Tool (formally called Apple Hardware Test) which few know about and, due to this, it is rarely used. So if your think that your Mac might have a hardware problem you can run this tool to test it. It does not do an extensive test, simply tests that the hardware is working, so you may need to do further testing if you feel there is a hardware problem that was not detected.
I have written a series of HowTo Tutorials called Clean Your Mac to help you diagnose and fix problems
with your Mac – both hardware and software.
Here is how...

If you have a Mac with Apple’s T2 Security Chip (see the list in this tutorial) you will need to change a setting to allow it to start up from an external drive. External startup is disabled so that some unauthorised person is unable to access your Mac using their own startup drive. However if your internal drive becomes corrupted or fails it is good to be able to connect an external drive to either continue using or recover your internal drive.

Now that the Apple-Q and the Apple-Q-Cloud sites are linked (requiring a single login) it has become very easy to navigate between these sites and the Apple-Q-Core site via the Members’ Abyss menu on the main site. If you have your log in details saved you can even do so (almost) seamlessly.

Site cookies were originally designed to store your preferences for a particular web site however some sites abuse this by collecting additional personal data. Some cookies can even track you across multiple sites (called cross-site cookies). You could totally block cookies however many sites do not function correctly if you do this.

There is a compromise. You can choose to block cross-site cookies, delete all cookies when you close Firefox, and even add exceptions for those sites that you trust (like Apple-Q😀).

Nextcloud Server is used to run the Apple-Q-Cloud. Nextcloud also has (client) apps that run on the Mac, iPad, and iPhone. The Mac version allows you to synchronise a folder on your Mac with one on the Apple-Q-Cloud. So you could, for example, have the full, automatically updated collection Apple-Q Tutorials on your Mac.
The iPad/iPhone app does that and much more. You can view the whole Apple-Q-Cloud within the app and selectively chose which tutorials to keep a local copy of along with which folder you wish to sync.
Here is how...

The is a very underused feature of macOS called Folder Actions. It allows you to attach an action to a folder in the Finder. The screenshot below shows some of these. In this tutorial I am going to add a Folder action that watches the Apple-Q HowTo Tutorial (Synced) folder an alert you when a new tutorial has been added.
Here is how...

You may wish send a friend some files (eg photos) via email but your email server will not allow it. Some email providers limit email attachment to only a few MB however by using the Apple-Q-Cloud you can send attachments of up to 1000MB.

Ever wanted to have the whole Apple-Q HowTo Tutorial collection immediately available on your Mac and have it automatically update whenever a new tutorial is created? It can be done. In fact I use this feature to
backup the entire Apple-Q-Cloud to two other Macs
The NextCloud Server that we use to power the Apple-Q-Cloud has a Desktop app that you can use to sync all or part of the contents of a NextCloud Server that you have access to – in this
case the Apple-Q-Cloud.

One of the biggest problems that I have had with importing my family trees into an application is making certain that the media remains attached to the entries in my imported family tree. The biggest problem is when that media is placed all over the drive and not in a single location. I have covered this in another tutorial but the best thing that you can do is to make sure that you place all of your media within a dedicated folder before you attach it to your family tree (no matter what app you are using).
If you are transferring your family tree between two different Gramps installations then you should Backup your family tree using Gramps then Import this backup into the second installation of Gramps (there are HowTo tutorial about this).
So this tutorial assumes that your media is all within one parent media folder. It is also assumed that you
have exported your family tree from your app as a GEDCOM file.
I have covered this topic with webtrees and I thought that I would do the same with Gramps.

The main Apple-Q site and the Apple-Q-Core are handy when you wish to access a single
HowTo Tutorial, however downloading all of the individual tutorials on a particular topic
would require a lot of work.
Here is where the Apple-Q-Cloud proves to be very useful – in just a few clicks you could
download all of the tutorials on a topic or even the whole Apple-Q HowTo Tutorial
collection!

One of the most common things members ask me is how to access the Apple-Q-Core and Apple-Q-Cloud in order to access our over 1000 Apple-Q Publications (HowTo Tutorials, Apple-Bug, Selected Articles, and more). I have written Apple-Q HowTo Tutorials, placed the links in the Apple-Bug, and even send them Favourite & Bookmark links to add to their browser and include in their browser menu bar... but still they ask!

So now that the Apple-Q-Cloud is linked to the Main Apple-Q site, logging into the main site allows them complete access to both sites!

The Apple-Q-Core requires a separate login – but by using a simple step, it can be almost automatic as well.

This is a quick tutorial on how to install, set up, and connect to the Apple-Q Meetings
Server using the Discord app for macOS. This can be used for Virtual Meetings and
Training. It allows an unlimited number of members to join other members on-line for a
group chat session. Video is also supported for up to 25 people – but this will not be
covered here.
This tutorial skips several steps and assumes that you something about installing
applications. You may be asked for permission to access microphone, camera, and keyboard
during the setup.
Either your Discord username or About Me needs to include
your real name and membership number.
We suggest that you create a username of your choice but include
an About Me that has your name and Apple-Q membership
Number.
We use this to make sure only Apple-Q Members have access to
the server.
Here is how...

Apple-Q uses Single Sign On to securely log into its main site via an Authentication Server located on the Apple-Q-Cloud Site. You do not need to go there – you will be redirected there automatically when you try to login.Doing this also allows you to download the contents of the Apple-Q-Cloud directly from our main site. This includes the Apple-Q HowTo Tutorials, Apple-Bug, & Selected Articles.Members will be issued with an individual login. Once you are logged into the site I strongly suggest that you change the initial password that you have been given. You can do this by either going to the Password Reset Help page or by reading the tutorial:Apple-Q HowTo- Apple-Q Web Site- Reset or Change Password. The process is very simple and logs you onto the Apple-Q-Cloud at the same time! Here is how...

Just a quick tutorial to cover how to add an About Me that includes your Real Name and
Apple-Q Membership Number.
We have people on our Meetings Server who are not easy to identify as Apple-Q Members.
We need to do this to be certain that only Apple-Q Members have access to our server –
unauthorised users could cause problems for our server and may even cause our server to be
banned.
We still like the fact that members can feel
relaxed and use their favourite username, so we
suggest that they simply add an About Me Note
to their Profile. It is very easy!

Apple has a Signature creation and storage feature built directly into its Markup Toolbar. You can use it (via the Apple Preview app) to create a signature that you can use to sign forms without having to print them, sign, then scan it back in, before emailing it. Once entered you can use it almost anywhere where Apple Markup is supported (Apple Mail, Preview, etc).

The last couple of years I have been using my iPhone to take the Harvey Christmas Village photos. The problem with this is they are stored using Apple’s HEIC format which is not well supported with other non-Apple apps and devices. I could change the default format to JPEG but that is not as good a compression format as HEIC. I had imported the photos into Apple Photos on my Mac and had dragged them into a folder
ready to upload them to the HarveyCloud when, while not thinking clearly, I double-clicked on them and they all open with Apple Preview. Then followed another series of somewhat foggy events and I found that I had converted them all to JPEG.
Much later, I realised I had done something unusual – I then set out to find out how to replicate that method.

I was once again playing with AirDrop and found out another handy feature. I was writing an email on my Mac which required screenshots from both it and my iPad. So I opened the iPad app, took a screenshot, then AirDropped it to my Mac. With new Macs this could also be done using Apple’s Handover. I tried handing over the Mac email to the iPad, attaching the iPad screenshot, then handing the email back to the Mac but it was a bit tricky attaching a screenshot to an existing email (it can be done but required more steps). I could have started the email on the iPad then handed it o ver to the Mac then dragged the Mac screenshot onto it but I already had the email started. Besides, the AirDrop method should work for Macs, iPads, and iPhones made within the last 10 years.

Gramps has a slightly different way of implementing Settings / Preferences that most apps –
although I find it very useful. Apart from the general preferences for Gramps, located as
usual under the Gramp menu, most other settings are contextual. This makes it easier to
quickly find the Settings that are relevant to the feature of Gramps that you are currently
using. I will use Pedigree & Fan Charts as examples.

It would be almost impossible to write an article showing how to set up AirPrint because, as it is with modems, there are many printers that each use different methods to configure this service. I can however show you how to use AirPrint on your iPad/iPhone to print wirelessly to your AirPrint enabled printer. Your printer has to support AirPrint, and have it enabled, to use this method. There was a paid app that I was a while ago that allowed your normal printer use AirPrint. It installed on a Mac which had a printer attached – so you had to keep the printer on all of the time. So what do you need to do to print to your AirPrint enabled printer from your iPad/iPhone?

This tutorial is the follow-up to two series of tutorials. The first AirDrop tutorial covered how to set it up. The next two covered transfer of files from the iPad/iPhone to the Mac. The next two in the AirDrop series covered the reverse – Mac to iPad/iPhone. This tutorial covers the problems that can arise when trying to get the iPhone/iPad to ‘read’ the file that you send it. The devices try to ‘guess’ which app might be able to open the file sent to it but it can sometimes get it wrong. There may also be another problem – there is no app on the iPhone/iPad that can actually read the file. Then when there is it will not show up in the Open with... options list (see right). This tutorial covers these issues and some ways to get around them (but not always). This is more of a discovery session than a tutorial.

If you have taken the photos on the iPad them you can just connect it to your Mac and use Apple Photos to copy them to your Mac. However if you have used iTunes Sync (or syncing your photos through the Finder in newer versions of macOS) but then lost them and need to transfer them back to your Mac, then you can use AirDrop to do this. This method can also be used to transfer your photos to another iPad or iPhone. AirDrop even gives you the option to import them directly into Apple Photos!
Here is how...

Other Apple-Q HowTo Tutorials on AirDrop include:
Setup- Mac, iPad, iPhone;
Transfer iPhone Photos to Mac;
Transfer PDFs from Mac to iPad;
Transfer Files from Mac to iPhone.

The types of files that you can AirDrop are not limited to those used in each tutorial – they are simply used as an example.

Apple AirDrop allows you to transfer files wirelessly between your Apple devices- including Macs, iPads, and iPhones. This first AirDrop tutorial only covers how to set up AirDrop on your Mac, iPad, & iPhone.

LibreOffice versions of the Destination Documents already exist. Linked PDF files can be used where you have several information files that you wish to have organised for easy access. A master index PDF file can be used to link these files together. For example a group of Apple-Q HowTo Tutorials on a specific topic may be linked together in order of progression to aid a member learn the topic. I will be using LibreOffice 7 to create the linked PDF files but other Word Processors including Pages can create these links (called Hyperlinks). Here is how...

This tutorial is the follow-up to two series of tutorials. The first three AirDrop tutorials covered how to set up & transfer files from the iPad/iPhone to the Mac. This fourth one in the AirDrop series covers the reverse – Mac to iPad. I also intend to produce a fifth tutorial on Mac to iPhone.This tutorial also concludes the series called Create Linked PDFs. After creating the Linked PDFs using LibreOffice you will need to transfer them to your mobile device. So this tutorial will show you how using AirDrop. You could also transfer your files via other methods like email however there is a file size limit for attachments. Other methods include a Cloud service or direct transfer via the iPadOS Files app which is part of the newer iPadOS versions. Newer iPad Air and Pro versions allow you to copy the files using a USB-C Flash drive.However AirDrop is quick and easy as long as it is set up correctly.This tutorial will only cover the AirDrop method.

There are many basic things that you can do to make your Mac both faster and easier to use. This can mean performing some simple tasks, organising your Mac better, or changing the way you use your Mac. Some things that people do to their Mac cause it to perform slower than it should. Also cleaning up as well as keeping an eye on your Mac can help you to maintain it in good working order. These tasks can be divided into three areas:

• Software;
• Management / Organisation;
• Hardware.

Understanding a little bit about how your Mac works can also help you to better use it. You do not need to have an in-depth knowledge, just the basics.
