Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Track your stuff, find your friends, and safely share your location Version 3.0, updated September 20, 2024 Take Control of Find My and AirTags takes you inside Apple’s Find My ecosystem, a robust, privacy-protecting way to track your things, share your location (and see others’ with their permission), and aid in recovery lost and stolen devices. Find My lets you and someone else arrange to meet and see your live, updated ETA; figure out where you left your iPad (was it on a flight?!), and know that your bicycle remains firmly in place where you locked it.n Find My lost the “iPhone” moniker long ago, as the app and system of location tracking hardware, software, and infrastructure became “Find My Everything.” The current ecosystem encompasses people, Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch), Apple and Beats audio hardware, and low-power, long-life trackers. Apps can be used in iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and watchOS, and on iCloud.com. Take Control of Find My and AirTags takes you through the many parts of Find My so you can configure and refine how you and your stuff is tracked and shared. The book looks at three different kinds of tracking: • People: Learn how to share your location safely, follow others who let you, and send and receive notifications about arrivals and departures. (Also, prevent being tracked when you don’t want to be.) • Devices: See the whereabouts of your and Family Sharing group members’ devices and audio hardware. Get to know the ins and outs of enabling Find My and taking remote actions, from playing a sound to wiping your data from a device. • Items: Find out how AirTags make use of the crowdsourced network of other people’s Apple devices to help you find a lost or forgotten purse, backpack, or even car, and about third-party devices licensing the technology from Apple. Learn how to share your items with up to five other people. Also get to know the dangers of people using Find My tech for stalking. The book explains how to identify the risk, deter unwanted tracking from happening, block it if you find it—and report it to law enforcement or get other help. This edition includes detailed information about the Apple and Google industry initiative for Android, iOS, and iPadOS that lets Android, iPhone, and iPad users get notified about unknown trackers on either Apple or Google’s tracking systems that are traveling with them. The book also digs into how Family Sharing interacts with personal and device location sharing and finding, and how to help other people find their lost stuff if they don’t have one of their own Apple devices handy. The book focuses on the latest Apple operating systems: iOS 18/iPadOS 18, macOS 15 Sequoia, and watchOS 11. However, it looks back as far as iOS 16/iPadOS 16 and macOS 14 Monterey for nearly every feature—and sometimes back even years before those releases—so you can best use your mix of Apple devices of all vintages. Here’s more of what you can find in this book: • Start sharing AirTags and other items with up to five other people. • Find out the difference between device-based Find My tracking and the Find My network. • Figure out if your Apple or Beats audio hardware can be tracked just over Bluetooth nearby or via the Find My Network. • Lost a single earbud? Apple may have you covered by playing a sound out of it or providing nearly pinpoint tracking. • Experience the joy of playing a sound over the internet or nearby to help find a missing device or item. • See the place in Apple’s ecosystem for third-party Find My tracking from nearly a dozen companies that make bike, bag, and general stuff trackers, some with extra alarms. • Spot Google and Apple trackers following you that aren’t yours and aren’t shared Apple Find My items. • Control and monitor the way you let others track your whereabouts. • Get to know presence, the way you define which of your devices indicates where you are to other people. • Learn about the capability to track an iPhone or iPad even after it’s been erased! • See how Messages simplifies and improves location sharing and maps. • Dig into Apple’s efforts to prevent Find My from being used for stalking and unwanted tracking, including audio alerts and other behavior. • Discover buried controls for configuring exactly how Find My updates your device’s location, including when power runs low. • Develop an understanding of your Apple Watch’s three distinct Find My to use them effectively on the go. • Understand Activation Lock, which protects devices from being reused even if someone has erased them, and Find My Lock, which keeps Find My items from being reset and taken over. • Help family members find lost and stolen gear through Find My’s Family Sharing support.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prevent (or solve) problems with your Apple Account! Version 1.0, published September 20, 2024 The center of the Apple world is your Apple Account. This little identifier ties up your access to iCloud; to purchased and streaming music, TV, and movies; and to all your devices. While an Apple Account is essential, Apple has made it difficult to navigate the many features associated with it—and particularly to troubleshoot and resolve problems that crop up. This book answers dozens of questions and guides you through solutions. It also explains how to use security, recovery, and other features tied to your Apple Account. Everything Apple relies on your Apple Account. It’s a key that unlocks a long list of Apple products and services on any of numerous devices. iCloud uses an Apple Account, as does Apple Music; the App Store; the Music, TV, and Books apps; and more. An Apple Account protects your personal information, including email and iOS/iPadOS backups; helps you find a lost iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple Watch; and can even unlock your Mac. So it goes without saying that if something goes wrong with your Apple Account, you could be in for a world of hurt. Unfortunately, things go wrong with Apple Accounts all the time. Fortunately, Glenn Fleishman, a veteran technology journalist and the author of Macworld’s “Mac 911” column, is ready to help with expert advice on how to manage your Apple Account—including how to prevent, solve, or work around most common problems! This book is fully up to date with all the changes released by Apple in 2024 connected to your Apple Account—including the change of name from Apple ID to Apple Account—as well as for iOS 18, iPadOS 18, macOS 15 Sequoia, watchOS 11, tvOS 18, and other Apple products and services. In this book, Glenn answers questions like: • What all is my Apple Account used for? • How does my iCloud account relate to my Apple Account? • What’s two-factor authentication and how do I manage it—and not get locked out of my account? • Should I invest in hardware security keys to up the protection of my Apple Account account? • Are there other mechanisms I can use to ensure that I can recover an Apple Account in the event of a problem? (Spoiler: yes!) • What should I do if I have two or more Apple Accounts or iCloud accounts? • Will I lose access to all my Apple media purchases if I move to another country? • Can I share an Apple Account with someone else? • What does an Apple One subscription offer and how does it interact with Family Sharing and iCloud+ storage tiers? • Is there an explanation for how code-based and hardware-based second factors protect my account and how they differ from passkeys? (Yes!) • What exactly should I do if I think someone is hacking my Apple Account account? • How can I recover a forgotten Apple Account password? • What happens if I’m assaulted or drugged and someone gains access to my iPhone passcode and resets my Apple Account? (Sadly, a too real, if uncommon, problem.) • What steps should I take if Apple locks me out of my account? • If I lose access to an email address associated with my Apple Account, what can I do? • What Apple Account changes in recent versions of iOS, iPadOS, and macOS do I need to know about? • How can I use Family Sharing to share data and purchases within my family? • What types of subscriptions can I manage with my Apple Account, and how? • Which payment methods can I associate with my Apple Account, and how do I manage them? And that’s just the beginning. Glenn has packed a remarkable amount of concise problem-solving information into this comprehensive book. Read it before you encounter Apple Account problems to minimize your risk, and if you’ve already encountered a problem, read it to find the best path to a rapid solution.

Version 1.0, published September 30, 2024 Secure your Mac, iPhone, or iPad against attacks from the internet, physical intrusion, and more with the greatest of ease. Glenn Fleishman guides you through protecting yourself from phishing, email, and other exploits, as well as network-based invasive behavior. Learn about built-in privacy settings, the Secure Enclave, FileVault, hardware encryption keys, sandboxing, privacy settings, Advanced Data Protection, Lockdown Mode, resetting your password when all hope seems lost, and much more.n The digital world is riddled with danger, even as Apple has done a fairly remarkable job at keeping our Macs, iPhones, and iPads safe. But the best security strategy is staying abreast of past risks and anticipating future ones. This book gives you all the insight and directions you need to ensure your Apple devices and their data are safe. You’ll learn about the enhanced Advanced Data Protection option for iCloud services, allowing you to keep all your private data inaccessible not just to thieves and unwarranted government intrusion, but even to Apple!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leverage your smartphone and smartwatch for improved personal safety! Version 1.0, updated July 30, 2024 The digital and “real” worlds can both be scary places. The smartphone (and often smartwatch) you already carry with you can help reduce risks, deter theft, and mitigate violence. This book teaches you to secure your hardware, block abuse, automatically call emergency services, connect with others to ensure you arrive where and when you intended, detect stalking by compact trackers, and keep your ecosystem accounts from Apple, Google, and Microsoft secure.n You don’t have to be reminded of the virtual and physical risks you face every day. Some of us are targeted more than others. Modern digital features built into mobile operating systems (and some computer operating systems) can help reduce our anxiety by putting more power in our hands to deter, deflect, block, and respond to abuse, threats, and emergencies. Keep Safe Using Mobile Tech looks at both digital threats, like online abuse and account hijacking, and ones in the physical world, like being stalked through Bluetooth trackers, facing domestic violence, or being in a car crash. The book principally covers the iPhone, Apple Watch, and Android devices, but doesn’t ignore Wear OS watches, the iPad, and computers running macOS or Windows. This book explores many techniques to help: • Learn how to harden your Apple ID/Apple Account, Google Account, and Microsoft Account beyond just a password or a text-message token. • Discover blocking tools in operating systems and third-party apps that can prevent abusive, fraudulent, and phishing messages and calls from reaching you. • Block seeing unwanted sensitive images on your iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple Watch—and help your kids receive advice on how not to send them. • Turn on tracking on your devices, and use it to recover or erase stolen hardware. • Keep your cloud-archived messages from leaking to attackers. • Lock down your devices to keep thieves and other personal invaders from accessing them. • Prepare for emergencies by setting up medical information on your mobile devices. • Let a supported smartphone or smartwatch recognize when you’re in a car crash or have taken a hard fall and call emergency services for you (and text your emergency contacts) if you can’t respond. • Keep track of heart anomalies through smartwatch alerts and tests. • Tell others where or when you expect to check in with them again, and let your smartphone alert them if you don’t. • Deter stalking from tiny Bluetooth trackers. • Protect your devices and accounts against access from domestic assailants. • Block thieves who steal your phone—potentially threatening you or attacking you in person—from gaining access to the rest of your digital life.

Book excerpt: Master the fundamentals of your iPhone or iPad Version 1.0, published September 30, 2024 iPhones and iPads were intended to be easy to use, but over the years, a lot of complexity has crept in. As a result, most of us—even those who have been using these devices for years—jump through unnecessary hoops to perform basic tasks and overlook helpful but less-than-obvious features. This book walks you through everything you need to know to navigate your device with ease.n Apple doesn't include an instruction manual with iPhones or iPads, assuming that you'll search the web to learn how to do anything you can't easily figure out. That's a pity, because it spells frustration for new users and means a great deal of your fancy device's power may go unused. Josh Centers is here to help with iPhone and iPad Basics, a friendly guide to all the information Apple never gave you. Do you know the difference between the Lock Screen and the Home Screen? What Control Center is and how to customize it? How to use a share sheet? What to do when you get too many annoying notifications? How to find apps in a sea of icons? Ways to run multiple apps at the same time on an iPad? Those are just a few of the topics Josh explains in detail. You'll learn about: • Terms and concepts: The names and meanings of important interface elements • Hardware controls: What all the physical controls do, plus charging options and the StandBy feature for iPhones • Cameras: Use the front- and rear-facing cameras on your iPhone or iPad • Customization: Configure the Lock Screen, Home Screen, Dock, Control Center, and innumerable settings to your liking • Apps: What all of Apple's built-in apps do, how to add new apps, and how to switch between apps • Finding stuff: Use Spotlight to find apps, files, contacts, and more • Siri: How to use your voice to interact with your iPhone or iPad • Keyboards: All the tricks of the on-screen keyboard, plus what you can do with an external keyboard • Sharing: Share nearly any sort of information on your device with other people or services using the share sheet • Focus settings: Avoiding distractions with enhanced "Do Not Disturb" features • Special iPad features: How to multitask on an iPad and more • Switching from Android: Tips for moving to an iPhone or iPad from an Android device This book keeps its focus on basics, deliberately avoiding advanced topics.

Version 4.2, updated December 13, 2023 Get to know your Apple Watch and customize it to help you focus on what you care about most. Tech expert Jeff Carlson helps you understand the watch mindset, pick the watch model that’s right for you, set up and share its faces and their complications, get the notifications you want, take advantage of the health and fitness features, handle communications, and learn how the controls and core apps work.n The Apple Watch has become the world's best-selling watch, as well as the most popular wearable digital device. Since the device's introduction in 2015, Apple has developed numerous new watch product lines, vastly expanded the device's capabilities, and enabled developers to create entirely new apps and tools. The Apple Watch hides an enormous amount of technical complexity behind that unassuming touch screen, and with help from author Jeff Carlson, you'll unlock every last bit of its power. With watchOS 10, Apple dramatically changed some of the core watch interactions, which Jeff covers here. Take Control of Apple Watch covers all Apple Watch models through Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2, as well as all the new features introduced in watchOS 10. Jeff walks you through getting to know the Apple Watch (including how to pick one out if you haven’t already), along with topics that teach you how to navigate among the watch’s screens with the physical controls, taps on the screen, and Siri. You’ll also find advice on customizing watch faces and sharing them with others; taking advantage of the electrocardiogram (ECG) capability and blood oxygen sensor, plus the temperature sensors introduced in the Series 8 and Ultra; getting the notifications you want; handling text and voice communications; using Apple’s core apps; and monitoring your heart rate, hearing, and monthly cycle to improve your overall health. A final chapter discusses taking care of your Apple Watch, including recharging, restarting, resetting, and restoring. Among the many topics covered in the book are: • Picking out and setting up your own Apple Watch—covers models up through Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 • How to adapt to the numerous changed gestures in watchOS 10 • Making watch face complications work for you • Using Control Center and Smart Stack • Understanding how the watch interacts with your iPhone (including how to control your watch with your iPhone) • Staying connected using a cellular-enabled Apple Watch model • Using Siri on your watch for a wide variety of tasks • Tracking your exercise, even when you leave your iPhone at home • Using your watch to monitor sleep data • Placing and receiving phone calls on the watch • Getting navigation directions (and using the redesigned Compass app, including waypoints and the Backtrack feature introduced in watchOS 9) • Using the Walkie-Talkie feature to chat with other Apple Watch owners • Sending default (and customized) text messages—and even sending money via Messages • Seeing email from only certain people • Adding calendar events and reminders • Loading your watch with photos and using them to create new watch faces • Doing workouts with Apple Fitness+ • Finding people, devices, and items • Controlling your home with HomeKit-compatible devices • Triggering the iPhone’s camera remotely using the watch • Paying at contactless terminals using Apple Pay • Putting tickets on your watch • Using health-related features such as the blood oxygen sensor and medication reminders, plus the ECG, Cycle Tracking, and Noise apps • Detecting falls and (with newer watch models) car crashes, and automatically calling for help • Controlling an Apple TV, or Music on a Mac with the Remote app • Unlocking a Mac (and authenticating certain actions) with your watch • Adding apps to the watch via your iPhone or the watch's built-in App Store • Resetting a messed-up Apple Watch and force-quitting an app

Book excerpt: Tracking technologies are now ubiquitous and are part of many people’s everyday lives. Large sections of the population voluntarily use devices and apps to track fitness, medical conditions, sleep, vital signs or their own or others’ whereabouts. Governments, health services, immigration and criminal justice agencies increasingly rely upon tracking technologies to monitor individuals’ whereabouts, behaviour, medical conditions and interventions. Despite the human rights concerns of some organisations and individuals, most wearers and their significant others tend to welcome the technologies. This paradox is only one of the many fascinating challenges raised by the widespread use of tracking technologies which are explored in this book. This book critically explores the ethical, legal, social, and technical issues arising from the current and future use of tracking technologies. It provides a unique and wide-ranging discussion, via a cross-disciplinary collection of essays, on issues relating to technological devices and apps whose use is imposed upon wearers or suggested by others, whether agencies or individuals, including in the domains of criminal justice, terrorism, and health and social care. Contributions from leading academics from across social sciences, engineering, computer and data science, philosophy, and health and social care address the diverse uses of tracking technologies including with individuals with dementia, defendants and offenders, individuals with mental health conditions and drug users alongside legal, ethical and normative questions about the appropriate use of these technologies. Cross-disciplinary themes emerge focusing on both the benefits of the technologies – freedom, improved safety, security, well-being and autonomy, and increased capacity of and efficiencies for public services – and the challenges – implementation and operational costs, mission creep, privacy concerns, stigmatisation, whether the technologies work as expected, and useability and wearability for all wearers. This book is essential reading for academics and students engaged in criminology, criminal justice, socio-legal studies, science and technology studies, medicine, health and social care, psychology, engineering, computer and data science, philosophy, social policy and social work and security studies. It will also be of great interest to policy-makers, regulators, practitioners already deploying or considering using tracking technologies, and to current and potential wearers.

Book excerpt: This book is not a before-and-after story. Our culture treats suffering like a problem to fix, a blight to hide, or the sad start of a transformation story. We silently, secretly wither under the pressure of living as though suffering is a predicament we can avoid or annihilate by working hard enough or having enough faith. When your prayers for healing haven't been answered, the fog of depression isn't lifting, your marriage is ending in divorce, or grief won't go away, it's easy to feel you've failed God and, worse, he's failed you. If God loves us, why does he allow us to hurt? Over a decade ago chronic illness plunged therapist and writer K.J. Ramsey straight into this paradox. Before her illness, faith made sense. But when pain came and never left, K.J. had to find a way across the widening canyon that seemed to separate God's goodness from her excruciating circumstances. She wanted to conquer suffering. Instead, she encountered the God who chose it. She wanted to make pain past-tense. Instead, God invited her into a bigger story. This Too Shall Last offers an antidote to our cultural idolatry of effort and ease. Through personal story and insights from neuroscience and theology, Ramsey invites us to let our tears become lenses of the wonder that before God ever rescues us, he stands in solidarity with us. We are all mid-story in circumstances we did not choose, wondering when our hard things will end and where grace will come if they don’t. We don't need to make suffering a before-and-after story. Together we can encounter the grace that enters the middle of our stories, where living with suffering that lingers means receiving God's presence that lasts.

Book excerpt: What if we responded to death... by throwing a party? By the time Erica Buist’s father-in-law Chris was discovered, upstairs in his bed, his book resting on his chest, he had been dead for over a week. She searched for answers (the artery-clogging cheeses in his fridge?) and tried to reason with herself (does daughter-in-law even feature in the grief hierarchy?) and eventually landed on an inevitable, uncomfortable truth: everybody dies. While her husband maintained a semblance of grace and poise, Erica found herself consumed by her grief, descending into a bout of pyjama-clad agoraphobia, stalking friends online to ascertain whether any of them had also dropped dead without warning, unable to extract herself from the spiral of death anxiety... until one day she decided to reclaim control. With Mexico’s Day of the Dead festivities as a starting point, Erica decided to confront death head-on by visiting seven death festivals around the world – one for every day they didn’t find Chris. From Mexico to Nepal, Sicily, Thailand, Madagascar, Japan and finally Indonesia – with a stopover in New Orleans, where the dead outnumber the living ten to one – Erica searched for the answers to both fundamental and unexpected questions around death anxiety. This Party’s Deadis the account of her journey to understand how other cultures deal with mortal terror, how they move past the knowledge that they’re going to die in order to live happily day-to-day, how they celebrate rather than shy away from the topic of death – and how when this openness and acceptance are passed down through the generations, death suddenly doesn’t seem so scary after all.
