Is your hard drive almost full? Looking to clear off some space? It can be confusing where to look and what you can get rid of. There are probably things on your Mac you don’t need, and there are probably files you have created that you can now archive to another drive. You can also use the features of iCloud to save space. For a Mac “spring cleaning” you don’t need any special software, you just need to know some basic techniques.

How do you want to be remembered by future generations? You can make a will to handle your physical possessions, but what about your digital life—photos, videos, email, documents, and the like? This ebook, written by tech expert Joe Kissell, covers many aspects of preserving such electronic ephemera as part of your digital legacy.
If you’re not at the stage of life where you can think about this for yourself, consider that you may have to do so for your parents or other relatives. It’s not all about posterity either, since following Joe’s advice will also help loved ones access your key accounts and important info if you’re incapacitated, which can happen at any time.
The book will help you with these essential tasks:
• Identify your key digital assets: online accounts, photos, audio files, videos, passwords, documents, email, and more.
• Plan for each type of digital asset based on your priorities for today, for shortly after you are no longer around, and for posterity. Joe explains the ideal file formats to use, how to deal with social media sites, the best ways to digitize paper documents and photos, and strategies for sharing passwords with family members, among much else.
• Communicate your wishes in a “digital will” and designate someone to be its “digital executor.” The book includes a template document that you can develop into a personalized digital will.
• Preserve your data for the future. You’ll consider types of archival storage media, cloud-based storage services, backups, and what instructions to provide about maintaining your data as file formats and storage media types evolve.
Whether you just want to ensure that your heirs get copies of your favorite family photos and a few key documents or you want to catalog and preserve tens of thousands of digital items, this book helps you make smart decisions about your digital legacy.
Questions answered include:
• What strategies can I use for sorting and preserving email?
• How can I ensure that my email account will be available to those wrapping up my estate?
• What if I have digital data that should be destroyed when I die?
• What should I do with my huge photo collection (both digital and paper)?
• How can I make my passwords available to those who will need them—but keep them private for now?
• What should I think about when handing down purchased audio and video files?
• What should happen to my Facebook account when I’m no longer around?
• What choices are available for keeping my digital archive available and backed up?
• How long should I expect archival media to last?
• Should I write an autobituary?
• Are online digital legacy services any good?
• How will organizing all this stuff benefit me while I’m alive?

Defense Against the Dark Arts: Protecting yourself from Scams, Malware, and Phishing Attacks
Peter will report on the numerous techniques scam artists use to infiltrate our digital lives – compromising or disabling our Macs, iPads, and iPhones, stealing our identities, and emptying our bank accounts.
The main focus will be on phishing attacks, as these are now the choice du jour of scammers. We’ll discuss what you can do to identify and disable potential attacks, and how to prepare so that you can correct damage if an attack gets through. During the presentation, we will examine a variety of actual phishing messages.
The best defense against scam artists is personal awareness, preparation, and maintaining attention while online.
