Help Session Tips
There are three items that are the greatest obstacles in providing you the help you want at our monthly Help Sessions. Only you can provide these three items. So, when you come to a session, please do the following:
- Know your Resident ID number AND your 4-digit golf PIN number. (Both are necessary to connect to the Wi-Fi internet at Saddlebrook)
- Know the User Names and Passwords for all of your Apple accounts (often all the same) and for any accounts or applications you may need help with (iCloud, Gmail, 1Password, web sites, etc.)
- Bring the device (Computer, iPad, iPhone, etc.) with you to the help session. Most often, we can’t help if can’t see and work on the device.
Lastly, remember that these Help Sessions are for 10-15 minutes. They are not a replacement for Apple Care or a deep diagnosis that would take more time.
Please be courteous to others who also need help and do not come with a long list of questions as time is limited and others are waiting.
