Now, we have powerful tools, like Apple's Calendar and Reminders, that are much more responsive to our needs. Put an event on your schedule, invite others to join, or set yourself an alarm (or more than one). Or, keep a list of to-do items, add to it and view it on all your Apple devices, and share your list with family or friends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this book, veteran Mac journalist and editor Scholle McFarland will guide you through getting to know these incredibly helpful apps, including lesser-known (but handy) features. For example, did you know that in Calendar you can set an alert for when you need to leave for an event, based on the travel time calculated using the location you entered for the event? Or that Reminders can prompt you to do something not only at a certain time, but also once you've reached a specific destination, like the grocery store?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you've never taken the opportunity to explore Calendar and Reminders, this book will show you how to make them an important part of your daily routine. If you've already been using Calendar and Reminders, you'll learn how to use them more effectively, troubleshoot common problems, and delve deeper into their capabilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhip your schedule into shape and tame your to-do lists with \u003ci\u003eTake Control of Calendar and Reminders\u003c\/i\u003e!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLet Scholle walk you through how to get the best out of Calendar and Reminders, including how to:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustomize Calendar to your liking, from setting time zones, to color coding specific calendars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreate events, making them repeat at regular intervals or on certain dates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet up notifications and alerts, so you never miss an event\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInvite people to events, or share your calendar with them\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreate, manage, and share lists in Reminders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet alarms in Reminders at a certain time or a certain place\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse Siri to save time when creating events or reminders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasily check events and reminders on your Mac, iPhone, or Apple Watch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTroubleshoot common problems in Calendar and Reminders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShare calendars and reminders using iCloud Family Sharing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"alt concepts inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47158626812144,"sku":"9781947282766","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781947282766_p0.jpg?v=1763799745","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781947282766","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
