I spent a lovely evening after work with Mom. She fed me a delicious dinner and we chatted about all kinds of things while doing all kinds of things. What sort of things did we do, you might ask?
We set up her new iPad Air. Was it hard you ask? Not at all, Mom did it herself and it was easy because she had an iCloud backup and so it put everything that had been on her old iPad onto the new iPad. No problem at all.
But that’s not all, oh no.
We set up her new iMac computer. Was that hard? Oh no, not at all. I did the physical set up and got it going but turns out, Mom had a Time Machine back up of her old iMac and it just pulled all the stuff over to the new iMac. There was one small glitch with mail but I got most of it back from the back up and we’ll figure out the rest. All her settings and everything else were there.
We had to reset one password which we did easily and by the time I left, after a celebratory bowl of ice cream, it was all up and running like nobody’s business. We played around with some of the new iPad camera options.
Heck we even looked up the manual for Mom’s thermostat and printed that out from the iPad for future reference.
Quite the day all around, with the SCOTUS decision and then seeing this go by in my twitter feed:
Thanks Mary Beth, We had a good time doing all that work. You made it easy. Sometimes I surprise myself. Instructions being clear helped.
Thanks with all the help getting and setting up my new toys. I am all set for awhile. Now I should be able to learn more new things about them.
Best.mom.in.the.world!
