Our annual holiday gathering will feature many give-aways including rumors of some gift cards for the local Apple Store, e-books and great software titles as well as some secret vintage Apple collectables.

April 13th Meeting Recap

Greetings Members,
Wednesday night we held the April Boise Mac User Group Meeting. Of those in attendance many brought their iPad. As such the meeting moved in that direction.

As a presidency we decided it would be a good idea to purchase an iPad dock connector for future presentations. The cost was $39.99 plus tax. The connection worked great with only one of the iPad Apps on my iPad not want to work, which was the MLB At-Bat 2011 App. This was disappointing to me, but not so much to the group.

January 12 Meeting

Many of you received an Apple TV for Christmas. The big question: How do I get DVD content from the DVD, to my Computer, and then to the Apple TV?

Come learn how to make that happen at our January 12 meeting.

We will get an overview of how to transmit media from your Computer to the new Apple TV

We will see demos and short "how-to" presentations for:

- Mac-The-Ripper
- Toast
- RipIt
- HandBrake

These are the applications that rip (copy) DVD Audio/Video content to your computer.

And, we will again have a raffle!

Boise Mac User Group January Meeting

We have been talking about the value and operation of your home network. Now it's time to put that network to work for you!

Did Santa bring you an AppleTV for Christmas? Join us this week to learn how to move your DVDs to your network. We will learn how to:
- rip (copy) DVDs to your Mac
- push movies from your iPod/iPhone/iPad/Mac to an AppleTV
- use the AppleTV to retrieve content from the network and play on your TV

Plus some give aways for members and non members.

December 8th Meeting

Greetings Boise Macs,

The Wednesday December 8th meeting is rapidly approaching, so plan on attending and taking part in the raffle, social time and Filemaker presentation.

There have been emails from a few of the members that indicated yes and no on the White Elephant gift exchange, so to that end, If you wish to participate, by all means bring a gift (Please keep it under $10).

July 14th Meeting

Greetings Boise Mac User Group,

I hope everyone had an enjoyable Independence Day.

This month I thought is would be nice to take a step back and structure the meeting around the members. Therefor for the July meeting I thought it would be nice to have a question and answer session, but also include tips and cool stuff found. With that please bring any and all questions. If you want a demonstration on programs such as iMovie, iPhoto, iWork, iTunes or any iThing this will be a good chance for you to get the help of fellow members.

Free video for new Mac users

The excellent ScreenCastsOnline (to which I subscribe) is this week offering a hefty (that is, substantial) video podcast covering a lot of ground that would be very useful for new Mac users, whether they be recent switchers or folks who just haven't had a chance to dig around in all that the Mac offers as yet. Don always has a useful broadcast (it's one of my few "must watch" video podcasts) so take a peek at this free show and if you like it, consider
