Mailing List

WAMUG Mailing List

One of the greatest benefits of being a WAMUG member is access to our members-only mailing list.

Whether you're looking for help with your Mac, iPhone or iPad, wanting advice before purchasing Apple equipment, or simply interested in discussing the latest Apple news, our mailing list is an active community of friendly Apple users who are always willing to help.

Many of our members have decades of Apple experience, making the mailing list an invaluable source of knowledge and support.

What can I use the mailing list for?

The mailing list is a place where members can:

Ask questions about Macs, iPhones, iPads, Apple Watch and other Apple devices.

Receive help with macOS, iOS and Apple software.

Share Apple tips and useful discoveries.

Discuss the latest Apple news and announcements.

Recommend software, accessories and services.

Help other members solve problems.

If you've solved an unusual problem yourself, consider sharing the solution—you may help someone else in the future.
