'Official' New Member Thread: Welcome

Probably shouldn't be here as I'm technically not a 'newbie' but minor poster (<50 posts over 5-6 years) returning and aiming to become more prominent in the Mac Rumors community.

Hi all...I am an iPhone 6s+ noob user and for the past two weeks I've trying to learn as much as I could about iPhones and iOS. You helped me a lot with your posts and comments and I am really glad that I can be a part of Mac Rumors community!!!

Thank you for the welcome. I seem to have started a conversation (although no replies yet) before I found the welcome. I hope this is not a too severe breach of protocol. Any, I am looking forward to getting some replies to my problem and continuing my study of C. Thanks again.

Hello Forum Members,
I'm Retired Navy and Retired Over-The-Road Truck Driver enjoying spending retirement checks. I've been a Windows guy since I got my first computer. I just purchased the 27" Mac about 3 months ago and love it! My first Apple Computer, I have a lot to learn about it. My wife will be getting a Mac Laptop soon, we're giving up Windows, too much drama going on with Microsoft. I figured I would get the Big Mac since I love big screens and it's easier for me to see at my age.

Hello - I'm fairly new to Macs, only a few months since I left my PC behind, thanks to my son giving me his iMac. And now I'm hooked.
I was recommended to this forum by the local Apple retailer here in Nottingham, England.
I look forward to having a look around your threads in the hopes of learning stuff, plus I have loads of questions.
Stella

Noob. Just got here. New 27" a few days ago. Been Mac since about 2006, with a 6 month mistake stint going the other way. Being here is prolly a good way to get info, and let off steam when I have probs with Apple, which I sometimes do.

I am a Macbook pro user since 2009. Now my laptop gets a bit old and started not to work smoothly as before. That's why I chose to join this forum to get help from you and to help others if I can.

You might want to try posting in the Mac section.
 
Had couple of years iPhone 4 when it came out. Since then used several WP and Android phones. Now waiting for iPhone 7 to buy. Just cleaned up and upgraded mid 2010 iMac 27" with SSD. Solid MBP 13" Retina i5 late 2013 is in daily use. Old iPad mini has a broken glass, but still working. IPad Pro 9.7 with Pencil is the latest Apple device. Still wondering should I change ATV to the latest model. About me... well, just a little man coping with everyday life as suppose...

I was curious to learn new things and tech-updates about my MacBook Pro that I just bought months ago, one day I googled all about mac so that I can be in touch with the latest news and updates and found your website in top 3 or 4 links joined all and try to keep in touch. When I was scrolling through mac rumors I realized it is hell of information about iOS and Mac OSX, everything almost with real users experience that is awesome 😀

Welcome to the show.
 
I guys, long time mac rumors creeper, i used to browse on my friends laptop when he had it open at work, decided i could get in here and check things out on my own account. I run a wakeboard and kiteboarding outfit in Long Island in the summer and work on a private island teaching sailing in the BVI in the winter, hope to get a bunch of insight from you fine folks.

Hope you are all having a great day

I have been gifted an iPhone 6S by my kids and now have to use it.
My biggest interest with the phone is learning about its photographic capabilities. I keep a family photo database with over 1T-worth of photos and scans.
That said, I have to find out how to off-load pictures from the 'phone to a computer. I do have a wifi point in the house and, of course, I can connect the 'phone to a computer by wire. No directions in the user manual on this process. Help!

I think iTunes does it for Windows. iPhoto on a Mac. I don't know specifically because I use an Android phone with my MacBook Air and Pro. My Note 4 just appears as a photo folder on my Air and Pro.
