The next meeting of the Hershey Apple Core will be held on Wednesday, January 13, 2010 at the Hershey Public Library, starting at 6:30 PM.

This month, we’ll take a look at the very best iPhone apps. With more than 100,000 choices in the iTunes App Store, it can be a challenge to decide which apps to invest in. We’ll show you some of our favorites in a wide variety of categories as well as a few iPone tips you may have missed. We’ll also be asking you to reveal your favorite apps and what they do for you.

What would a HAC meeting be without our always popular Question and Answer Session, and our Meeting-After-The-Meeting dinner at Fuddruckers? Come out and join us for our first meeting of the new year…and the new decade.

The next meeting of the Hershey Apple Core will be held on Wednesday, November 11 at the Hershey Public Library, starting at 6:30 PM.

“Tis the season to be giving (and receiving) gifts. What should you give? What do you want to get? What should you want to get? The December meeting of The Hershey Apple Core will not only give you some ideas, but also provide you with the opportunity to share yours as well. Have a gift that you think is worth giving or getting? Bring along your list.

We’ll also have our ever-popular Question & Answer session, and a special holiday version of the Meeting-After-The-Meeting at Fuddruckers where all of the HAC officers will be dressed as Santa Claus. (No, not really, but it will be fun anyway.)

Come celebrate the holidays the Mac way, with your friends at HAC.

The next meeting of the Hershey Apple Core will be held on Wednesday, November 11 at the Hershey Public Library, starting at 6:30 PM.

This month, we’ll take a look at a variety of cool pieces of hardware for Mac, iPhone and beyond. No, we’re not going to tell you, you’ll have to come and see, but rest assured that there will be something for everyone.

If all goes as planned, we’ll also demonstrate a new video conferencing and recording option that is available to anyone, live with a Mac luminary from the West. Want to know who? You’ll have to join us to find out.

All that, our always-popular Question and Answer session, and the Meeting-After-The-Meeting Dinner. What else are you going to do on a Wednesday night that will be half as much fun?

The next meeting of the Hershey Apple Core will be held on September 9 at the Hershey Public Library, starting at 6:30 PM.

Summer break is over and The Hershey Apple Core is hitting the ground running with a multi-topic meeting that has something for everyone.

We’ll take a look at Apple’s “It’s Only Rock & Roll, But We Like It” event, what was announced, and what it may mean to you. Then, we’ll show you a cool new way to find great applications for your Mac, as well as keep them up-to-date.

Finally, we’ll take a look at Apple’s new cat, Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. Even though it is billed as not having any new features, there are plenty of changes and enhancements that make it will worth the $30 upgrade. We’ll give you a tour.

You’ve been waiting all summer to ask, so we’ll also hold our ever-popular question-and-answer session, and, of coure, the Meeting-After-The-Meeting at Fuddruckers, so bring your appetite.

September’s here – time to kick your Mac habit back into high gear with HAC.

The next meeting of the Hershey Apple Core will be held on April 8 at the Hershey Public Library, starting at 6:30 PM.

During the discussions at our monthly meetings, we’re always surprised by the things we think everyone knows, but don’t know. Our April meeting is dedicated to showing some of those things…tips, hints, one-trick ponies, methods, products and services that everyone should know to get more out of their Apple hardware. Join Joel Persing for a look at ways to do things faster, better and easier, whether you knew you wanted to do them or not.

We’ll solve all your problems (OK, your *Mac* problems) in our Question and Answer Session, and have a ball at our meeting-after-the-meeting dinner at Fuddruckers. Join us for an evening of Mac fellowship and fun.

The next meeting of the Hershey Apple Core will be held on March 11 at the Hershey Public Library, starting at 6:30 PM.

We’ll start out by taking a look at the latest incarnation of Apple’s web browser, Safari 4. While still in beta, it adds new functionality and breaks some of the old rules. Joel Persing will show you why it will quickly become your favorite option for web surfing.

Even after Dave Marra’s demo of iMovie ‘09 last month, you may still be looking for something more powerful. The next step up the ladder is Apple’s Final Cut Express…but that’s so difficult, right? Chuck Joiner has been using Final Cut Express to author his video podcast, and will demystify some of the basic concepts to get you up and running painlessly. Hint: if you liked iMovie HD, you’ll love FCE.

Don’t forget to skip dinner before the meeting, and then join us at Fuddruckers for our “meeting-after-the-meeting” session of food and further discussion.

Wether it is snowing or sunny, we’ll be at HAC. Hope to see you there.

The next meeting of the Hershey Apple Core will be held on February 11 at the Hershey Public Library, starting at 6:30 PM.

HAC is excited to welcome back Mac presenter Dave Marra, Apple Senior Systems Engineer. If you’ve been present when Dave visited us before, you know all about his dynamic, information-filled presentation style. If this will be your first time seeing Dave in action, you’re in for a treat.

Dave’s topic for the evening will be, “iLife and iWork: Do more with your Mac today!”

Rediscover creative new ways to work with digital photos, movies, music and more with iLife ‘09! The new iLife ‘09 suite features exciting new updates to iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand, in addition to iDVD and iWeb. Also, explore how easy and fun word processing, spreadsheets and presentations can be with iWork ‘09. The new iWork ‘09 productivity suite features major updates to Pages, Numbers and Keynote, and all are compatible with Microsoft Office. iWork and iLife, two great ways to work and play, only on a Mac!

Don’t forget about our meeting after the meeting at Fuddruckers. Come join us for an outstanding evening of information and fun.

The next meeting of the Hershey Apple Core will be held on January 14 at the Hershey Public Library, starting at 6:30 PM.

Chuck Joiner has recovered (almost) from Macworld Expo and will present his findings, picks and adventures from a week in San Francisco surrounded by Mac people from around the world.

We’ll talk about the new versions of iLife, iWork, the new MacBook Pro 17″, Phil Shiller’s keynote performance, the future of Macworld Expo, show floor picks and much more.

We’ll also have our infamous Question and Answer session, where all your Mac problems get solved, and our Meeting-After-The-Meeting, Macworld edition, at Fuddruckers.

Yes, it is cold outside, but nothing is hotter than the news from Expo. Come out and spend an evening with your HAC friends.

The next meeting of the Hershey Apple Core will be held on December 10 at the Hershey Public Library, starting at 6:30 PM.

This month, Joel and chuck will finish up with their top holiday picks, starting with their Top 10 Web site picks and then revealing some last minute gift ideas, just in case last month’s list didn’t quite stuff your stocking. Since this is our last meeting before Macworld Expo, we’ll also talk about what we might or might not see when Steve Jobs takes the keynote stage in San Francisco, and Chuck will show that video that we didn’t get to last month.

We’ll also have our infamous Question and Answer session, where all your Mac problems get solved, and our Meeting-After-The-Meeting, holiday edition, at Fuddruckers.

You could be out fighting holiday crowds, or you could be with all your Mac friends at HAC. From where we sit, its a no-brainer.

Happy Holidays!

Our next meeting will be held on October 8 at the Hershey Public Library, starting at 6:30 PM.

This month, we’ll talk about some cool topics relating to your digital camera and more. First, wouldn’t it be nice to not have to connect your camera to your Mac to upload your photos? Even better, what if you could send your photos straight from your camera to your Flickr account, MobileMe or any of the other popular photo-sharing sites? Now you can. The Eye-Fi series of digital media cards are Wi-Fi enabled, and can communicate with your Mac or the internet wirelessly. We’ll show you how well it works, some of the extras that come with the Explore version of the Eye-Fi (including automatic geotagging) and more.

After taking those photos, you want to do something cool with them, right? But one can watch only so many iPhoto slide shows. We’ll show you a new service that delivers an amazing new way to see and share your photos. Worried about a learning curve? Don’t be…the process is, quite literaly, point-and-click. Joins us for the October meeting of HAC to find out what it is and how it works.

And don’t forget our always enlightening Question-and-Answer session, the Meeting-After-The-Meeting dinner at Fuddruckers and more.

The Hershey Apple Core is in full swing for Fall. Come on out and be part of the most fun evening of the month for Mac users.
