The annual ACD Christmas party is fast approaching and we need to get a plan together to make it happen. Rather than have a main presentation this month, this will be a planning meeting for our get-together in December. We will discuss a theme, figure out the best location (can’t be at the Carrollton library this year), talk about what we’re going to have have in the drawing, and all other aspects of the party that need to be organized.
***Check the Meeting Location***
Please join us Saturday, May 11 at 10:00am at the Carrollton Hebron at Josey library branch (4220 N Josey Ln, Carrollton) in the main meeting room (go right at the front entrance, all the way down the hall, room is on the left at the end). We will have Zoom available for joining virtually if you can’t make it in person. We will start with Lawrence's AI SIG at 10, followed by the Main Meeting at 11, and wrap up with Jonesy’s Mac Help Desk SIG from noon to 1pm. Please note that this month is a Quarterly Meeting, so we will start at 11am with a board meeting followed by the Main Presentation.

For All Us “Techies"
Lawrence Jenkins gave a great talk on LumaFusion and Synology at our July 2022 virtual meeting (see Recorded Presentations above).
Taylor Sharpe made some excellent additional comments about Synology devices, for those considering purchasing, which can be read here. (Thanks to Ray Thompson for keeping us all informed!)
Once A Month Meetings
Our Apple User Group meets once a month, usually the second Saturday. We usually have new topics to talk about each month, guest speakers and presenters, and other helpful insights.
A Note From the President
At The Apple Corps of Dallas we are always learning, teaching and sharing! Bring your questions and share them with the group. There are no wrong questions. Feel free to share your digital problems. Someone in the group usually has the answer. If we are not able to answer the questions during this session, unanswered questions carry over to future meetings.
Some of our past diverse topics have covered Health & the Apple Watch, creating a “Hackintosh”, Video Editing and Sharing, Photo Techniques, iCloud, FileMaker Pro, Creating Exciting Keynote Presentations, and Drones.
The Apple Corps of Dallas (ACD) is the oldest Apple Computer User Group still in operation, established in January of 1978.
Our members are primarily from the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex area. Our aim is to provide you with the latest information on your Apple device, to offer help in solving problems, to present forums for discussion, and to provide insight on the ever expanding world of technology.
Don’t have a Mac? No problem! We also assist users who have iPhones, iPads, and Apple Watches. In fact, owning an Apple product is not even necessary to be a member.
