Tutorials

There us a lot of great sources for tutorials. Lynda.com charges a membership fee and gives you 24/7 access to their training videos online. They also have tutorials on apps for the iPhone and iPad. Not all subjects are covered. Their focus is less on basic and more advanced. What they offer is generally top notch.

Apple Support now has a YouTube channel. There are explanatory and how-to videos about the Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. While you are there you can subscribe to the support channel. There is also a more general Apple YouTube channel which is more fun/informational than educational.

There are many other websites that offer a combination of free and paid tutorials. Some sell CDs or offer downloads, which can be quite expensive. Others offer tutorials where only some of the course material is free. Here are a few places to try:

University of Texas at Austin

Remember that YouTube is also a great resource for tutorials on almost anything, and not just from the official Apple YouTube channel.

macrumors.com is another great source of tutorials. However, their tutorials can be hard to locate, as they produce them individually with all their other stories of a particular day. The following is a list of links to some useful ones:
