DVMUG Zoom Classes
March 1st, 2024 | Author: dvmug
These classes will be included as part of membership in DVMUG. That makes the cost of membership an even better deal at only $40 per year. The cost of one of these classes at the adult school is $25.
The classes are also recorded and made available on YouTube only to DVMUG members. You can watch these classes on your Apple TV or Roku device on your big-screen TV any time you want.
We are also doing weekly Zoom meetings on Tuesday afternoons from 3 pm to 5 pm where you can ask questions and get news and tips on how to use your Apple devices. The meetings are recorded and available to anyone on the DVMUG YouTube Channel.
We have resumed our monthly MacClinic, where club experts diagnose and repair what’s wrong with your Mac as well as helping you with software upgrades, hard-drive replacement, and similar improvements. This is held at our office and is limited to members who have been fully vaccinated.
DVMUG membership also includes a weekly email with news and how-to tips as well as access to the DVMUG bulletin board to ask questions and get help from other DVMUG members.
As a sample, you can watch the first class “What’s new in iOS 14” for free on YouTube.

The Finder has been a part of the Mac since the beginning of 1984. It started out as a way to access the Mac’s file system. It wasn’t until several years after its introduction that it would actually “find” anything. Now the Finder plays several roles, including providing many ways to organize and view your files, serving as a conduit to your iPhone and iPad, and even accessing files that aren’t on your Mac. Update your Mac to macOS Big Sur and we’ll explore all the things the Finder can do.
