iOS 8 Emergency Card

3 June, 2014 by James Staples

 

With my dual interests in Apple tech and Community First Responding I think this will will be an excellent feature in iOS 8: Emergency card. In the Medical ID section of the Health app, you’ll be able to set up personal information for medical conditions, allergies/reactions, and other medical notes to be displayed in an Emergency card available on the Lock screen. In some cases (such as severe allergies and reactions), immediate access to this information can be a lifesaver.

OS Mavericks

23 October, 2013 by James Staples

Last night Apple released a new operating system for the Mac – OS Mavericks.

There are lots of new features which should be of benefit to anyone currently using a Mac. The key ones are:

  1. iCloud Keychain
  2. ibooks
  3. AirPlay Display
  4. Enhanced Dictation
  5. App Auto Updating
  6. Apple Maps
  7. Shared Links
  8. Finder tabs
  9. Tags
  10. Interactive Notifications

A word of caution if you are considering upgrading. Ensure you have a full backup just in case anything goes wrong. I haven’t experienced any difficulties but you never know if you’ll need a backup until it’s too late so it always pays to make one – and test that it works!
