MacFormat UK – July 2019
English | 110 pages | True PDF | 65.0 MB

It’s unusual to find a computer that isn’t online these days. Most of us need to use email and the web – even if it’s just to use online banking and pay bills with little hassle. But maybe your home is heavily dependent on its internal network – so your iPhone can control your Apple TV, say – and its connection to the outside world too. What if a network weakness turns
into a big problem? Maybe you won’t be able to send an important document on time or, worse, a literally showstopping episode leaves you out of the TVconversation with your friends tomorrow. This MacFormat UK magazine issue is something of a networking special. Our cover feature is about making sure your home’s internal network is running at peak condition: how to fix common issues with it, pick a new
router, and ensure your settings keep your network secure and your devices safe. Find out more on p24. We’ve also got a bunch of advice that’ll help you avoid common pitfalls of going online. From fundamental macOS settings to browser security options to tips for avoiding phishing attacks and malware, if you’re active on the internet, read our safety tips, starting on p66. Our iPhone buyer’s guide (MF #337) was well received, and some of you asked for similar advice for the now largerthan- ever iPad range. Check it out on p14. -ALAN STONEBRIDGE
