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

19th January

For our first meeting we had eight attending.
There was not too much to discuss or help with, although we did talk around many minor topics, including Bluetooth connectivity issues and how any particular computer in a house chooses between different connections.
Sue did have an issue with responding to an email from her professional organisation. It seems that when she replied, she was blocked on the grounds that the website was unsafe.
On inspection it turned out that the website had been late in updating its certification. Once this was resolved Sue was back in touch.
We next meet on Wednesday 4th February
