The Computer Group

Leader:  John Howlett - computer@ashbyu3a.co.uk - phone 01530 461774

Helpline: help.computer@ashbyu3a.co.uk

The Computer Group meets twice a month on the first Wednesday and third Monday of the month at 2pm.

We are not all computer geeks, but between us we know something about most types of computer whether it is Windows, Apple Mac, iPad or Android.

We also discuss how to look after the files, music or photos on your computer, how to make backups or how to copy them to DVD or all sorts of "interesting" problems. One thing we can't do is undertake hardware repairs, but we might know someone who can!

So if there is something you don't understand about your computer, from the simplest to the more esoteric, come along and we'll see if we can help.

OR

Email our Computer Helpline with any problems or questions. We can email you back, or better still, you can come along to the next meeting and someone may have worked out your problem and be able to talk you through it.

Send us details of your problem to help.computer@ashbyu3a.co.uk

3rd December

We had five today, but very little to talk about.
Peter has a problem with his emails, though. He has two and can normally use either.
However, by some quirk, his daughter cannot send an email to one of these. Additionally, if she sends one to the other address, Peter cannot relay it to the problem one.
This quirk does not occur with any of his other correspondents.
Mike worked to see if they could solve this. Unfortunately, the rules controlling these things, whilst listed, could not be accessed to see if they were editable.
It seems Peter will have to speak to his provider. He will report back.
As to Joan’s problem last time with uploading Windows 11, all seems to have gone to termination properly.

We next meet for the last time this year on Monday the 15th of December
