Latest macOS Version

The latest Mac OS is Sonoma, macOS 14.1.1. These early updates are especially important as they are almost always heavy on the bug-fixes. If you haven't upgraded to Sonoma yet, look for "additional updates" in the Software Updates section of System Preferences/System Settings. These are updates that won't take you all the way to Sonoma-- they keep you on the system you're already using, but they update it. If you need help updating let me know.

Latest iOS Version

The latest iOS version is 17.1.1. This is an important bug-fix update and Apple recommends it for all iPhones. If you are using any version of iOS 17, get the iOS 17.1.1 iOS update. iPadOS was also updated to 17.1.1. If you are using any version of iPadOS 17, get the 17.1.1 iPadOS update. Older iPhones and iPads can stay on iOS 16, now updated to 16.7.2. If you need help updating let me know.

My email host

Choosing a company to host your email can be tough. I haven't tried them all, but I can tell you that my mail is hosted by Pair.com, and I recommend them whole-heartedly. Large enough to handle the job, small enough to provide personal support when needed. Tell them I sent you. They also handle this website.
