Apple Music For Beginners: A Ridiculously Simple Guide to Apple's Music Service

A beginners guide to moving to the cloud. 
iCloud is something that Apple doesn't talk a lot about but is perhaps their biggest service. It's estimated that nearly 850 million people use it. The thing about it, however, is many people don't even know they're using it.\nWhat exactly is it? If you are familiar with Google Drive, then the concept is something you probably already understand. It's an online storage locker. But it's more than that. It is a place where you can store files, and it also syncs everything--so if you send a message on your iPhone, it appears on your MacBook and iPad. If you work on a Keynote presentation from your iPad, you can continue where you left off on your iPhone.\niCloud has become even more powerful as our photo library grows. Photos used to be relatively small, but as cameras have advanced, the size goes up. Most photos on your phone are several MB big. iCloud means you can keep the newest ones on your phone and put the older ones in the cloud. It also means you don't have to worry about paying for the phone with the biggest hard drive--in fact, even if you have the biggest hard drive, there's a chance it won't fit all of your photos.\nThis short book will help new users navigate their way around the cloud service.

Your First iPad: The Easy Guide to iPad 10.2 and Other iPads Running iPadOS 13

Note: This is the color edition of "Your First iPad for Seniors." You got and iPad! Now how on Earth do you use the darn thing?! Do you really need a computer anymore? They're clunky and even laptops aren't as portable as they could be, and they don't have touchscreens. Yes, they're great for running power-hungry applica-tions, but what if you just use it for email, web searching, and organizing pictures? iPad's do all that and more. If you've used an iPad before, then the OS will be familiar to you, but there's a number of new things you should know about. If you've never used an iPad, then this book will help you navigate around the device in a way that's easy to understand and not so comprehensive that you feel overwhelmed. Some of the many topics covered include: <ul> <li>What's new in iPadOS 13</li> <li>Cosmetics of an iPad</li> <li>Multitasking</li> <li>Gestures that you should know</li> <li>Using Sidecar</li> <li>Using split screen</li> <li>Buying, updating, and removing apps</li> <li>Apple Services (Apple Music, iCloud, Apple Arcade, Apple TV+, Apple Card)</li> <li>Family sharing</li> <li>Using Siri</li> <li>Taking, editing, organizing and sharing photos</li> <li>Using pre-installed apps like Reminders, Maps, Notes, Calendar</li> <li>And much, much more!</li> </ul> This book is based off of the iPad 10.2 (the one with a Home button--not the Pro models that have abandoned buttons); that doesn't mean it's not use-ful if your iPad doesn't have one, but some features will work slightly differently. Note: This book is based off of the book Your First iPad but includes extra information on accessibility. Ready to get started? Let's go!
