Tech Check!
The September General meeting is coming up!
We’re meeting in public (at Di-No) but, as we have been, we’re also meeting on Zoom and all you need is your computer or device, and the Zoom app. If you’re planning to attend on your device, download Zoom from the respective app store. If your computer is your choice, download the Zoom client.
The meeting itself will be from 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm, as usual (Monday, 22 September). However, since Zoom can be a bit obtuse at times, Chris Keller will be hosting Tech Check before the meeting, starting at 6:30 pm. He’ll be answering questions, offering advice, and doing his best to make sure everybody has a grand time!
Presuming you have Zoom downloaded, PYBT: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/7266439791?pwd=eE9nNVJpSTRzMkIvcVU5ZXlzZUF4UT09. You’ll also need the following bits of data:
Meeting ID: 726 643 9791
Password: 377070
When you arrive, you’ll be in the waiting room; Chris will open the door to the meeting room from there.

Besides finally meeting in person, once again, we are still meeting on Zoom. It’s worked pretty well so far, best we can tell (if you attended, or tried to, and didn’t have a good time, please let us know).
If you’ve not been with us recently, or you’re planning to use another device, you’ll need to re/download the Zoom app.
On the iOS side of the house, you can use an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch that has iOS 8.0 or later. To download the client from the App Store, PYBT: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/zoom-cloud-meetings/id546505307.
On the Android side of the house, PYBT: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=us.zoom.videomeetings. And that’s all I know about that. If anyone has suggestions or corrections, by all means, let me know!
On the Mac and Windows (and Unix/Linux?) sides of the house, proceed directly to the Zoom Download Center, https://zoom.us/download#client_4meeting, and click the Download button.
When meeting time comes, PYBT (on your preferred machine): https://us02web.zoom.us/j/7266439791?pwd=eE9nNVJpSTRzMkIvcVU5ZXlzZUF4UT09.
In case you get asked (you shouldn’t, but you know how that goes, some days…), here are the login credentials:

(Re)Joining and the Drawing
As you may have noticed in the meeting post, the drawing is back! We’ll be using the same ticket-drawing routine as we did in person, but the payment method will be a little different.
We’ll be using Apple Pay now. You’ll be sending funds to our intrepid treasurer, Mo! (as it used to be said, Go see Mo!), and they’ll make their way to the group from there.
If you’re on an Android phone, or don’t use Apple Pay for whatever reason, you can use Google Pay, PayPal, or Zelle.
Ticket prices have not changed: $1.00 for one, or $5.00 for six.
And yes, if you are joining us, or re-upping your membership, Go see Mo!! Dues are still $30.00 for the year.
To get ready to make payments on your iOS device, there are two steps: Set up Apple Cash and learn how to send money with Apple Pay:
Set up Apple Cash: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT207886.
Send money with Apple Pay: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT207875. The number to which you’ll be sending the payment will be made available at the meeting.
Stay tuned for Google Pay and Zelle recommendations.
Depending on the source of the prizes, they may be physical, they may be electronic. If electronic, give/e-mail Mo! the e-mail address you’d like the info to be sent. If physical, we’ll mail it; you choose and, again, get the preferred address to Mo!
22 September General Meeting
Apple’s got some new stuff (hard? & soft) we need to know about! I’m told we’ll be finding out about some (all?) of it this month. We might even hear more about photography!

Our rewarding Monthly Prize Drawing includes Take Control of Photos, Take Control of iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 (yes, that is really the new OS number…), a $25.00 Apple gift card, and a mystery Apple gift card; a couple of other items may appear as if by magic.
Be on the lookout, on the Web site, for the Zooming, (Re)Joining, Drawing post, which will have the all gory details on how the remote drawing (among other things) should work.
The meeting is being held in person! Join us at Di-No Computers, 268 S. Rosemead Blvd., Pasadena; meeting time is, as always, 7:00p. We’ll still be be meeting on Zoom. The gory details are here: Tech Check!
The Meeting after the Meeting is back with us. Hang on in Zoom, after the General meeting, and chat with everyone!

We will continue to conduct the meetings on-line, as well, using Zoom. The Zoom client is available for Mac and Windows (via your browser) and iOS and Android (on their respective stores). PYBT to download the client for your computer: Zoom client.
The meeting link and password will be posted closer to meeting time in the Zooming, (Re)Joining, Drawing post. Keep your eyes peeled.

Looks like we’ll know even more about photography, that we (not being professionals at it) can use (and abuse?). Along with that, we’ll be getting info on basic imaging concepts.

Were You at the Meeting Last Night?
If not, we know a TON more about photography (then and now) than you do! We also have way cleaner & tidier Macs!
At The Meeting after…, doing Zoom stuff, dealing with various settings, and camera app issues kept us pretty busy.
