Apple Guru

• A session is 1-hr and can be attended by up to two people.
  If there are two people attending it is ideal to work on sharing features like shared calendars, notes, reminders and lists, and app sharing.
• Bookings are available within the next 3-4 weeks.
  If this timeframe does not work for you, please email me to schedule a session. steven@shewach.com
• Online Sessions are via FaceTime
  Apple's FaceTime allows us to share screens with one another to help faciliate learning and troubleshooting. This means I will get access to your screen so we will do troubleshooting and training directly on your device.
• FaceTime Requirements:
  - An iOS device with iOS 7 or later OR
  - an iPad (iPad Pro, iPad Mini, or iPad 2 or later) OR
  - Mac with OS X 10.9.2 or later with built-in or connected microphone
  - Your WiFi speed must be 5mbps or greater

A session can be structured in three different ways depending on what you're looking to accomplish.

1. Freestyle: We can just dive in and see where the session takes us. You will still learn a ton as we delve into your device(s).
2. Tackle your list of annoying things to fix: see next question
3. Specific topics based on how you want to use your device better. Not sure where to start? See question "What can I learn?"

Absolutely! 

*you can choose from this list on the booking form. These are the various topics we can cover. It all depends on your preferences for how to best use your device(s) and whether or not you want to take advantage of Apple's powerful sharing and collaboration features.
