If you’re still using MobileMe for your Emails, Calendar and Addresses book, then it is a good idea to start thinking about switching to iCloud — as MobileMe will be turned off after the 30th June 2012.

If you’re using an older Mac that cannot support OS X 10.7+ (Lion) then there are a number of issues as iCloud is not fully supported. But there are a number of options and ways to continue receiving emails and using some of the other iCloud services on an older Mac.

If you would help or have any questions regarding upgrading to iCloud then please contact us and we will be more than happy to help.

We are now offering Training and Support for Aperture 2.

If you are new to Aperture or would like to learn how to use it more efficiently, the we can help with a series of 1, 2 or 5 hour lessons. Alternatively we can organise a tailor-made course to suit you.

For more information, please call us on 01929 480076, or send us an email via our contact page.

What is Aperture?
Aperture is a software program for Mac OS X developed by Apple and designed to help photographers import, manage, enhance, and deliver photos in a single, integrated workflow that dramatically streamlines every aspect of digital photography.
