<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AfYWqGyybR8/Vo_dxsQSU8I/AAAAAAAABuo/KsLoThn9CnQ/s1600/Image%2B85.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AfYWqGyybR8/Vo_dxsQSU8I/AAAAAAAABuo/KsLoThn9CnQ/s1600/Image%2B85.png" alt="iphone videos folder shown in main program window"></a></div>

If you have an iPhone, iPod or even an iPad containing some or all of your songs, you might be spared. </p>
<p> Restoring your iPhone music and playlists to an empty iTunes library is not difficult at all provided you know how to do it. It is surprisingly easy to bring your library back to its previous glory after a PC crash or after changing PCs. Learn more by following the steps below. </p>
<h2> Let's transfer iPhone or iPod songs to iTunes </h2>
<p> 1. Download the program below to the PC where you have the empty or incomplete iTunes library: </p>
<ul>
<li> <a href="http://www.copytrans.net/copytrans/" target="blank">http://www.copytrans.net/copytrans/</a>
</ul>
<p> 2. Run the program and connect the iPhone or iPod with the USB cable. You'll see the iPhone songs and playlists display in the main program window. </p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NkahBLEsEsQ/Vk83YMYqZbI/AAAAAAAABts/suk5nbTRGvs/s1600/copytransp-main.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NkahBLEsEsQ/Vk83YMYqZbI/AAAAAAAABts/suk5nbTRGvs/s640/copytransp-main.png" alt="main copytrans program window"></a></div>
<p> TIP: Your iPhone songs are matched with the contents of the iTunes library on the PC and are automatically selected for backup. A green arrow icon next to the track means the track is selected for backup. A check-mark means the track already exists in iTunes and won't be transferred to avoid duplication. A circular icon means that the track in iTunes will be updated. Most commonly this will update the track artwork. </p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VTxvw08RFiE/Vk84Ceyg7aI/AAAAAAAABt0/4v5Rim2j6mY/s1600/copytransp-main-track-status.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VTxvw08RFiE/Vk84Ceyg7aI/AAAAAAAABt0/4v5Rim2j6mY/s640/copytransp-main-track-status.png" alt="copytrans track status icons"></a></div>
<p> 3. Click "Start backup" </p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dzT3wgrWuUA/Vk84GyqrBTI/AAAAAAAABt8/BZ4nEavJZYY/s1600/click-start-backup.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dzT3wgrWuUA/Vk84GyqrBTI/AAAAAAAABt8/BZ4nEavJZYY/s1600/click-start-backup.png" alt="start backup button"></a></div>
<p> 4. The program now copies all the needed songs, playlists, podcasts, voice memos and even ringtones directly to iTunes on your PC. </p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PA8BMScKS7g/Vk84SCZ-w2I/AAAAAAAABuA/UwWbkHjgt-8/s1600/ct-backup.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PA8BMScKS7g/Vk84SCZ-w2I/AAAAAAAABuA/UwWbkHjgt-8/s1600/ct-backup.png" alt="backup of iphone songs in process"></a></div>
<p> That's all. The songs are loaded back to the iTunes library. You've restored iTunes back to how you knew it before! </p>

Previous years have shown that updating the iOS of iPhone or iPad devices is not totally free from incidents including failed upgrades, iTunes restore errors and data loss. Be sure to have a safe iPhone backup in at least two separate locations. </p>
<p> Follow this guide to get ready for an easy uneventful update to iOS 9. </p>
<h2> How to backup iPhone without iTunes before the iOS 9 update? </h2>
<p> iTunes is often blamed for elusive backup and restore error messages, and unneededly cumbersome features. While I keep my iPhone backed up with iTunes, many people don’t use iTunes on a regular basis and fear having their iDevice erased and synced. </p>
<p> <strong>CopyTrans Shelbee</strong> is a full-featured iTunes backup alternative that backs up the same iPhone contents as iTunes including iPhone contacts, messages, notes, calendars, iOS settings and passwords. </p>
<p> 1. CopyTrans Shelbee is designed to work on Windows PC. Download the program from here: </p>
<ul>
<li> <a href="http://www.copytrans.net/shelbee/" target="blank">http://www.copytrans.net/shelbee/</a>
</ul>
<p> 2. Run the program and connect the iPhone to the USB slot of your PC </p>
<p> 3. Click on “Backup” </p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OqoqMOCmjuc/VemxeuE0LNI/AAAAAAAABsg/2t0UxJF-5oE/s1600/copytrans-shelbee.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OqoqMOCmjuc/VemxeuE0LNI/AAAAAAAABsg/2t0UxJF-5oE/s640/copytrans-shelbee.png" alt="copytrans shelbee program window"></a></div>
<p> What I particularly like about this program is its ability to save the iPhone backup to a location of your choice, a feature missing from iTunes backups. </p>

I have an iPhone that syncs with iCloud but none of my Outlook contacts are on my iPhone, nor in my iCloud account. How do I bring my Outlook contacts to iCloud?” </p>
<p> The bad news is that there's no direct way to connect iCloud with Outlook. The good news, however is that you can easily transfer Outlook contacts to iCloud by using your iPhone as a vector. </p>
<h2> Here’s how to export Outlook contacts to iCloud </h2>
<p> 1. Open Outlook and check that all the contacts you wish to export to iCloud are there <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2LItc-GtUaw/VYAvhobxgYI/AAAAAAAABpk/mKu1_QBZ5w8/s1600/outlook-contacts-on-pc.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2LItc-GtUaw/VYAvhobxgYI/AAAAAAAABpk/mKu1_QBZ5w8/s640/outlook-contacts-on-pc.png" alt="outlook contacts on pc"></a></div></p>

<p> Your main PC disk is where iTunes keeps iOS backup files. The backup files can often take over the little remaining available storage. Many folks have limited free space on their PC. The last place where you want to keep the bulky iOS backups is on your SSD C:\ drive. Read on to find out how easy it is to change the iTunes backup folder. </p>
<h2> Here’s how to change the location where iTunes keeps iOS backups </h2>
<p> 1. First get CopyTrans Shelbee on your PC and run the program. This program will help you automatically change the iTunes backup location to a place of your choice. Click the link below to download CopyTrans Shelbee: </p>
<ul>
<li> <a href="http://www.copytrans.net/shelbee.php" target="_blank">http://www.copytrans.net/shelbee.php</a> </li>
</ul>
<p> 2. From the main program window, click on the "Toolbox" button. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qH6-xW03u80/VQmRrv0OjMI/AAAAAAAABng/lM-i7_AdZrw/s1600/toolbox-in-copytrans-shelbee.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qH6-xW03u80/VQmRrv0OjMI/AAAAAAAABng/lM-i7_AdZrw/s1600/toolbox-in-copytrans-shelbee.png" alt="main copytrans shelbee window with toolbox button"></a></div> </p>
<p> 3. Click on the icon represented by a pencil to select the new iTunes backup location <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-C50SxNGgrL0/VQmRqnOTzsI/AAAAAAAABnc/aX_w17cg88w/s1600/choose-new-location-for-itunes-backup-folder.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-C50SxNGgrL0/VQmRqnOTzsI/AAAAAAAABnc/aX_w17cg88w/s1600/choose-new-location-for-itunes-backup-folder.png" alt="select location where to move itunes backup folder"></a></div> </p>
<p> 4. Click "Start" to begin the move <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nIcQ6NkJlFs/VQmRqhgLrnI/AAAAAAAABnY/j1Bbf_RW1J4/s1600/start-move-of-itunes-backup.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nIcQ6NkJlFs/VQmRqhgLrnI/AAAAAAAABnY/j1Bbf_RW1J4/s1600/start-move-of-itunes-backup.png" alt="start move ios backup folder with copytrans shelbee"></a></div></p>
<p> 5. The move will take a moment. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cPznoet7LsA/VQmRqiYjclI/AAAAAAAABnk/Bh7HxQPAmvY/s1600/move-of-itunes-backup-folder-in-process.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cPznoet7LsA/VQmRqiYjclI/AAAAAAAABnk/Bh7HxQPAmvY/s1600/move-of-itunes-backup-folder-in-process.png" alt="moving itunes backup folder contents in progress"></a></div> </p>
<p> 4. That's it. Your iTunes backup location was changed to the destination of your choice. All the contents of the iTunes backup folder were moved to the new folder. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-16VM41yvu8c/VQmRrEvEVKI/AAAAAAAABns/vJim4rDTM6E/s1600/successfully-changed-itunes-backup-location.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-16VM41yvu8c/VQmRrEvEVKI/AAAAAAAABns/vJim4rDTM6E/s1600/successfully-changed-itunes-backup-location.png" alt="success at getting ios folder changed"></a></div></p>
<h2> Manual method - requires skills in using Windows Command Prompt </h2>
<p> 1. First go to your existing iOS backup location which is found in the MobileSync folder. To access the location directly, press the Start Menu button and in the search box type in: </p> <p><b>%APPDATA%\Apple Computer\MobileSync</b> . Then press the Enter button. </p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2LzOPpEjFL8/VMkMPaycYwI/AAAAAAAABmY/2hdZVDkT8Xo/s1600/start-menu-search-command.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2LzOPpEjFL8/VMkMPaycYwI/AAAAAAAABmY/2hdZVDkT8Xo/s1600/start-menu-search-command.png" alt="start menu search box"></a></div>
<p> 2. Once you are in the MobileSync folder copy the “Backup” folder to the new location of your choice. </p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--i63p0Hcem4/VMkMNw-SdSI/AAAAAAAABmg/RBFL6P7fm4w/s1600/copy-paste-backup-folder.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--i63p0Hcem4/VMkMNw-SdSI/AAAAAAAABmg/RBFL6P7fm4w/s640/copy-paste-backup-folder.png" alt="copy and paste itunes backup folder from old location to new location"></a></div>
<p> 3. Make sure that the Backup folder was correctly copied to the new destination and delete the original one from the MobileSync folder. </p>
<p> 4. Next, press and hold SHIFT on your keyboard and right-click on an empty space in the MobileSync folder. Choose “Open command window here”. </p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jZcM5qS3JS0/VMkMPJ36iEI/AAAAAAAABmo/-3OQTv19QZ8/s1600/launch-command-promt.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jZcM5qS3JS0/VMkMPJ36iEI/AAAAAAAABmo/-3OQTv19QZ8/s640/launch-command-promt.png" alt="start command prompt from explorer window"></a></div>
<p> 5. In the black window, enter the following command by typing it in (no copy/pasting, otherwise the command won’t execute) </p> <p> <b>mklink /J “%APPDATA%\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup” “X:\Backup”</b> </p> </p> Note that you need to replace “X:\Backup” from the above command to the actual location where you copied the Backup folder to. </p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wWCIZZ_vq6k/VMkMNHVi15I/AAAAAAAABl4/-fC7eDdbUsA/s1600/command-prompt-with-junction-command.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wWCIZZ_vq6k/VMkMNHVi15I/AAAAAAAABl4/-fC7eDdbUsA/s640/command-prompt-with-junction-command.png" alt="junction command text in cmd black window"></a></div>
<p> 6. Hit enter and watch the command execute. Once you see “Junction created” you are good to go. </p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FVxBH3ZXvRQ/VMkMODbpcfI/AAAAAAAABmM/F5mztz91E_U/s1600/executed-command.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FVxBH3ZXvRQ/VMkMODbpcfI/AAAAAAAABmM/F5mztz91E_U/s640/executed-command.png" alt="junction command executed successfully in command prompt window"></a></div>
<p> A folder named “Backup” appears in the original MobileSync location. This folder at first sight appears as a regular shortcut. This, however is more than a shortcut (it’s called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS_junction_point" target="_blank">Junction</a>) and is enough to “fool” iTunes into thinking that the Backup folder is intact and remains at its original location. </p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-owxItHqyz_8/VMkMNMCwOtI/AAAAAAAABms/0NDYv0wEFfQ/s1600/backup-folder-contents-same.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-owxItHqyz_8/VMkMNMCwOtI/AAAAAAAABms/0NDYv0wEFfQ/s640/backup-folder-contents-same.png" alt="effects of junction symbolic link on windows"></a></div>
<p> Instead, you just moved the space-hungry iTunes Backup folder to a more convenient location. The next time you back up your iPhone with iTunes, the iPhone backup files will be saved directly to the new location. </p>

It took me less than 5 minutes and works with any iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch running iOS 8. </p>
<h1> Before jailbreaking: back up the iPhone </h1>
<p> Jailbreaking might be a piece of cake, but it doesn't mean that the process is error-proof. Better be safe than sorry, back up your iPhone or iPad with iTunes or iCloud before jailbreaking. </p>
<p> If you are not a fan of iTunes or simply wish to have an extra safety net, I'd advise you to also use the free CopyTrans Shelbee to back up the iPhone. CopyTrans Shelbee works without the need for iTunes and backs up iPhone apps, app information, iOS settings, messages, contacts, calendars and Camera Roll. Download CopyTrans Shelbee from the below link: </p>

It’s time to migrate some content from the old phone. This quick tutorial shows how to backup your old iPhone SMS messages including iMessages and WhatsApp and transfer them to a new iPhone. </p>
<p> For the purpose, you don’t need iCloud, iTunes, or any paid program. </p>
<ul>

<li> <a href="#restore-iphone">Next, restore the backup to your new iPhone</a> </li>
</ul>
<a name="backup-iphone"></a>
<h1> First backup the old iPhone </h1>
<p> iCloud backs up apps and app data, however, the iCloud back ups are encrypted. In addition, to restore the apps, you must effectuate a complete restore of the iPhone or iPad to a previous state. The steps below, on the other hand show how to back up iOS apps complete with preferences and documents without the need for iCloud. You can then restore the apps of your choice to another iPhone or iPad without having to bring the entire device to a previous state. </p>
<p> 1. Download CopyTrans Shelbee which is a free utility dedicated to iPhone backup and restore: </p>

<p> Apple released an update to iOS 8 yesterday - iOS 8.0.1 and after a few hours, the update was withdrawn due to numerous critical issues. At the same time, many iPhone 6 Plus users have started noticing their devices bend irreversibly. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YgT1bN3jgto/VCQ1TCCMnWI/AAAAAAAABfM/ZNRdu_3sVJw/s1600/ios8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YgT1bN3jgto/VCQ1TCCMnWI/AAAAAAAABfM/ZNRdu_3sVJw/s1600/ios8.jpg" alt="ioS 8.0.1 fails"></a></div> </p>
<h2> How to uninstall iOS 8.0.1 update? </h2>
<p> If you are one of the few users who updated to iOS 8.0.1 earlier today, you might have noticed that your iPhone cellular reception was severely diminished. This is not the only problem introduced with the iOS update. There are reports that <a href="http://techcrunch.com/2014/09/24/apples-ios-8-0-1-update-says-healthkit-apps-can-now-come-to-the-app-store/" target="_blank">iOS 8.0.1 disables the Touch ID sensor</a> located at the iPhone Home button - in both cases, the affected device is iPhone 6. </p>
<p> Apple has since withdrawn the update (a first) and issued instructions on how to <a href="http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6487" target="_blank">downgrade to iOS 8</a>.
<h2> iPhone 6 Plus bends like an aluminum can </h2>
<p> Apple managed to produce two big news in a day. The second being that many users found it unexpectedly easy to bend their iPhone 6 Plus devices - irreversibly. The bends vary from barely noticeable to the point of iPhone breaking. I'd strongly advise you NOT to try un-bend the phone but bring it directly to the Apple Store for repairs. </p>
<p> Here's a video of just how easy it is to bend iPhone 6 Plus: </p>

<h3> #bendgate trending </h3>
<p> The iPhone 6 Plus malleability produced a furor on Twitter. You can follow the story developing here. </p>
<p> This Twitter user took it to the next level with his response to the story! <p>

Upgrading to iOS 8 from a a previous version of iOS will re-instate the iPhone or iPad. Follow this guide to backup iPhone data before updating to the new iOS or before migrating to the iPhone 6. </p>
<h2> Before upgrading to iOS 8 backup iPhone data </h2>
<p> There are two methods of iPhone backup Apple provides: <a href="http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12519" target="_blank">iCloud</a> and <a href="http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946" target="_blank">iTunes</a>. You should use both in order to be sure that if one fails, the other kicks in. In addition, I'd recommend using a third tool to make a full iOS backup of your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch on your PC via using a free computer program called <a href="http://www.copytrans.net/shelbee.php">CopyTrans Shelbee</a>. </p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1wdoUtQPkec/VBwrdKUPuVI/AAAAAAAABeI/Vi4JqIED8PQ/s1600/cts-start-screen.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1wdoUtQPkec/VBwrdKUPuVI/AAAAAAAABeI/Vi4JqIED8PQ/s640/cts-start-screen.png" alt="shelbee main screen showing backup and restore options"></a></div>
<p> 1. Download CopyTrans Shelbee on your PC from the following page </p>
<ul>
<li> <a href="http://www.copytrans.net/shelbee.php" target="_blank">http://www.copytrans.net/shelbee.php</a>
</ul>
<p> 2. Start the program and connect the iPhone. Click on "Backup" </p>

<h2> Let's turn the iPhone into a wireless hotspot </h2>
<ol>
<li><p> On the iPhone go to Settings > Personal Hotspot </p> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IJuWA_qTNa4/U-JXJ6sujNI/AAAAAAAABdg/ufnoDizfpDY/s1600/iphone-settings-personal-hotspot.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IJuWA_qTNa4/U-JXJ6sujNI/AAAAAAAABdg/ufnoDizfpDY/s1600/iphone-settings-personal-hotspot.PNG" alt="iphone settings personal hotspot"></a></div> <p> Note that the Hotspot feature depends on whether your current carrier provides this functionality or not. You might not have the option </p></li>
<li><p> Turn the switch next to "Personal Hotspot" to the ON position </p> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9bv1kgy8anE/U-JX4dlgy2I/AAAAAAAABdo/yYk1ZaU0HNY/s1600/turn-personal-hotspot-on.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9bv1kgy8anE/U-JX4dlgy2I/AAAAAAAABdo/yYk1ZaU0HNY/s1600/turn-personal-hotspot-on.PNG" alt="personal hotspot switch on iphone"></a></div> </li>
<li><p> Set the preferred password for the connection. The people with whom you share the connection must know the password in order to connect </p></li>
<li><p> If asked, I'd advise you to turn on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth by tapping on the option seen below </p> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rz97O7LOnio/U-JYRpm4n7I/AAAAAAAABdw/s5bCn7ykqFg/s1600/turn-on-wi-fi-and-bluetooth.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rz97O7LOnio/U-JYRpm4n7I/AAAAAAAABdw/s5bCn7ykqFg/s1600/turn-on-wi-fi-and-bluetooth.PNG" alt="turn on wi-fi and bluetooth for iphone personal hotspot"></a></div> <p> If you turn this option on, your iPhone will use both your Wi-Fi radion in combination with Bluetooth to share your data connection to the people around you. You can alternatively only share the data connection with your PC via your iPhone's USB cable. My experience shows that sharing the connection via the USB cable allows for quicker Internet. But it could be just me. :) </p></li>

Here's what you need to know before upgrading to the latest iOS maintenance update by Apple. </p>
<h2> Most widely reported upgrade problems with iOS 7.1.2 </h2>
<p> Soon after the release of the new iOS version, iMore reported that the update <a href="http://www.imore.com/please-do-you-upgrade-ios-712" target="_blank">may freeze before completing</a>. However, the problem seemed to be easily solvable by a cold restart of the iPhone or iPad. </p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-49A4jJsBsQM/U70Q4WS7leI/AAAAAAAABT8/aiE3qTPwuGs/s1600/ios-7.1.2-update.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-49A4jJsBsQM/U70Q4WS7leI/AAAAAAAABT8/aiE3qTPwuGs/s320/ios-7.1.2-update.png" alt="ios 7.1.2 maintenance update on iphone screen"></a></div>
<p> On the other hand a more important issue has been occurring during update to 7.1.2. Both iPhone and iPad users saw their devices enter into Recovery Mode soon after initializing the update. The usual iTunes globe icon and a cable appear on the iPhone screen. </p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mDm1mT52p9M/U70RGVr8dMI/AAAAAAAABUE/L_K8uFW4CN0/s1600/recovery-mode-iphone.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mDm1mT52p9M/U70RGVr8dMI/AAAAAAAABUE/L_K8uFW4CN0/s200/recovery-mode-iphone.png" alt="recovery mode on iphone"></a></div>
<p> If this happens to you, be sure to follow this Apple troubleshooting guide on how to exit from the infamous Recovery Mode: </p>
<ul>
<li> <a href="http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808" target="_blank">http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808</a> </p>
</ul>
<p> I'd also advise you to use iTunes when updating to iOS 7.1.2 rather than choosing the OTA (Over The Air) update provided directly from within your iPhone or iPad. Updating iOS via iTunes has shown in the past to be more stable than the OTA update. </p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_fJ-qEBcVsU/U70RPviJhaI/AAAAAAAABUQ/x6yHitcjtCQ/s1600/itunes-ios-update.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_fJ-qEBcVsU/U70RPviJhaI/AAAAAAAABUQ/x6yHitcjtCQ/s640/itunes-ios-update.png" alt="itunes window showing ios update for iphone 5s"></a></div>
<p> It goes without saying that making a complete backup of your iPhone or iPad via at least iTunes or iCloud before updating is crucial. Using multiple backup methods is the most certain way to prevent data loss in case something goes very wrong with your iOS update. </p>
<h2> The importance of multiple iPhone backups </h2>
<p> Backing up your iOS device is nothing new. However, did you know that you can create simultaneous backups with both iTunes and iCloud and in fact, this is the recommended way to go? Don't only rely on one backup method as you risk loosing iPhone data. In the event your iPhone enters into Recovery Mode during the iOS update process, you need to restore the iPhone from factory settings via iTunes. At that point you will lose any non-backed up data on your phone. </p>
<p> I'd also recommend backing up via third-party utilities as yet another alternative method of preventing data loss. Here's a number of ways to backup iPhone messages, photos, music, and apps via third-party utilities: </p>

<p> Don't overlook backing up your iPhone or iPad. Updating to iOS 7.1.2 has proved to be tricky. </p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12456783244160444456noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1175630980921707663.post-45458784609384823362014-06-19T07:51:00.000-07:002014-06-19T08:31:14.197-07:00Amazon launches Fire Phone<p> The first smartphone designed by Amazon is officially out in the wild. Amazon unveiled their new mobile device called Fire Phone yesterday in Seattle. </p>
<h2> New addition to Amazon's mobile devices </h2>
<p> The Fire Phone is the latest in a line of "Fire" tablets and streaming devices. Being out in the wild is one thing. Standing-out in an arguably saturated market dominated by Apple and Samsung is a whole different matter. </p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jPj_oKJKTeo/U6L9qyAiyoI/AAAAAAAABSU/xdyCfuW2mtc/s1600/FirePhone-Amazon.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jPj_oKJKTeo/U6L9qyAiyoI/AAAAAAAABSU/xdyCfuW2mtc/s320/FirePhone-Amazon.png" /></a></div>
<p> The Fire Phone naturally is intended to work with Amazon's various services and online commerce out of the box. </p>
<p> For example, at a press of a button, you can let the Fire Phone recognize a physical object such as a can of Coke, or a piece of art such as a song or a picture. Once the phone recognizes the object, you can directly look for and purchase it on Amazon.com. This unique feature is aptly called "<a href="http://www.theverge.com/2014/6/18/5821594/amazon-fire-phone-recognizes-everything-around-you" target="_blank">Firefly</a>" and frankly it reminds me of Shazam's big brother. :) </p>
<h2> Fire Phone tech specs and prices </h2>
<p> The Fire Phone features a 4.7 inch display, 2 GB of RAM memory and a quad-core 2.2 Ghz CPU. The camera takes shots of up to 13 megapixels. But wait, there's five cameras on the phone in total - 4 at the front that pick up on your head's movements, and 1 at the back!</p>
<p> Fire Phone runs on Amazon-modified Android operating system called "Fire OS". </p>
<p> Price-wise, the 32 GB version of the phone costs USD 199 or USD 299 for the 64-GB version exclusively at AT&T. </p>

<p> Just as the rest of the major mobile technology giants, the Fire Phone is clearly trying to bring Amazon users into a company-regulated ecosystem. </p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12456783244160444456noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1175630980921707663.post-64655016399635475702014-05-16T05:19:00.001-07:002014-06-27T03:10:50.307-07:00Flappy bird is back with a new season<p> Flappy bird developer Dong Nguyen announced that he'll be releasing a new version of his popular game in August. The new version will include multiplayer and would be less addictive. </p>
<p> Back in February Dong Nguyen pulled out the increasingly popular game from the App Store claiming that it’s been overused and arguably was too addictive. </p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p><a href="https://twitter.com/Misterlukeherb">@misterlukeherb</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Kotaku">@kotaku</a> Not because of them but because how people use my game.

<p> We are left to wait and see what the new Flappy Bird will look like with the multiplayer mode and “less addictive” features. </p> <p> In the meantime, if you have the original Flappy Bird still installed on your iPhone, you can transfer it to other iOS devices conserving the game scores via using this method: </p>

<p> The game developer also Tweeted that Flappy Bird clone currently found on the App Store called "<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/flappy-bird-new-season/id830258023" target="_blank">Flappy Bird: New Season</a>” is has nothing to do with him. </p>

<p> Apple has deemed to not authorize apps bearing the name “Flappy” for the moment. Is there a chance that they missed this one? In addition the “New Season” game is listed as developed by a person named Dong Nguyen…. We are left to see whether Apple takes action but for the moment you can download the unapologetic Flappy-Bird clone from the App Store: </p>

Here’s how to try bypassing the lockscreen for yourself. </p>
<h2> Test the Siri lockscreen bypass for yourself </h2>
<p> 1. Make sure the iPhone is running iOS 7.1.1 and press the Sleep/Wake button on top </p>
<p> 2. Slide to unlock </p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dAvefgug7TU/U2zjPXxyvGI/AAAAAAAABRc/u6RaMf45Wbc/s1600/iphone-slide-to-unlock.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: center; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">

</div>
<p> 3. Don’t enter the pass code but long-press the Home button until Siri comes up </p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<p> Until Apple fixes this, I’d advise you to disable Siri from the iPhone lockscreen. To do so, go to Settings > Passcode Lock and switch Siri under “Allow access when locked” to OFF. </p>

<p> If you are looking to back up or extract such iPhone contacts and calendar events to your PC, follow the steps from the below demonstration. </p>
<h2> Backing up contacts and calendars from custom CardDAV or CalDAV account </h2>
<p> 1. Download the following program on your computer </p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.copytrans.net/copytranscontacts.php" target="_blank">http://www.copytrans.net/copytranscontacts.php</a></li>
</ul>
<p> 2. Start the program and connect your iPhone. Let the iPhone data load </p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

If you did, you would’ve noticed that the local notes which already existed on the iPhone are kept local while the new noes you add to the iPhone are the ones added to your iCloud account. </p>
<p> So how can you transfer the iPhone notes which were kept locally on your iPhone and which appear under “On My iPhone” to iCloud? </p>

<h2> Transfer local iPhone notes to iCloud in one go </h2>
<p> Here’s how to move your “On My iPhone” notes to iCloud. </p>
<p> 1. iCloud will not push the local “On My iPhone” to your online account. Instead, you would need to use a CopyTrans Contacts, a PC program which transfer the notes to iCloud in one go. Download the program from the following link: </p>

<p> 2. Start the program on your PC and plug in the iPhone via the USB cable. Click on the Notes icon in the main program window on the left to access the local iPhone notes. </p>

<p> 7. Any notes you have in the iCloud account will appear in the program’s main window at this stage. Notice the small cloud icon to the right of such notes </p>

Even more so, after restoring apps back to the iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch, not everyone can be sure whether the app data was conserved and restored. </p>
<p> The following is a quick demonstration of the three independent methods I use to backup my iPhone apps to PC. In this way, I can be sure that app documents and preferences are preserved during both backup and restore: </p>
<ul>
<li> <a href="#backup-iphone-app-data">Backup iPhone apps with preferences and documents</a> </li>
<li> <a href="#transfer-ios-apps">Transfer iOS apps to PC via iTunes</a> </li>
<li> <a href="#backup-apps-icloud">Backup iPhone apps using iCloud</a> </li>
</ul>
<a name="backup-iphone-app-data"></a>
<h2> Backup iPhone apps with preferences and documents </h2>
<p> iCloud backs up apps and app data, however, the iCloud back ups are encrypted. In addition, to restore the apps, you must effectuate a complete restore of the iPhone or iPad to a previous state. The steps below show how to back up iOS apps complete with preferences and documents without the need for iCloud.</p>
<p> You can then restore the apps of your choice to another iPhone or iPad without having to bring the entire device to a previous state. </p>
<p> 1. On your PC, download and install the following program which is designed to backup iOS apps and documents and is currently offered as a free Beta version: </p>
<ul>
<li> <a href="http://www.copytrans.net/copytransapps.php" target="_blank">http://www.copytrans.net/copytransapps.php</a> </li>
</ul>
<p> 2. Start the program on the PC and connect the iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch containing the apps you'd like to back up. The iPhone apps are displayed in the program window <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cVi05dQeFTY/U6MIQPhuuhI/AAAAAAAABSk/sI5Rn00sWSc/s1600/iphone-apps-on-pc-window.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cVi05dQeFTY/U6MIQPhuuhI/AAAAAAAABSk/sI5Rn00sWSc/s640/iphone-apps-on-pc-window.png" alt="iphone apps are displayed on windows pc program window"></a></div> </p>
<p> 3. Select the apps to backup to your PC. Here, I selected 5 apps <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lRNhKx8rTk4/U6MJFTXlGII/AAAAAAAABSs/ZHnZjavwj_w/s1600/selected-ios-apps-on-pc.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lRNhKx8rTk4/U6MJFTXlGII/AAAAAAAABSs/ZHnZjavwj_w/s640/selected-ios-apps-on-pc.png" alt="select iphone apps on windows comptuer"></a></div> </p>

<p> Both iTunes and iCloud backups should work at 100% - this is in a perfect world of course. There’s always something which could go wrong with the backups so be sure to have your iOS apps and app data backed up by at least two alternative methods (for example, both by iCloud and iTunes) at the same time. </p>

<h2> Backup iPhone contacts, notes and messages </h2>
<p> Let’s face it you bought a new iPad Air, or the latest iPhone 5s and you would like to transfer only certain of your old iPhone contacts or notes to the new iOS device. </p>
<p> To back up iPhone contacts, text messages, notes and calendars to a PC, use the following iOS data manager tool: </p>

<p> If you are a Mac user, read on for alternative backup methods further below. </p>
<p> Backing up iPhone contacts is easy. Run the program and navigate to the Contacts section. Select all the iPhone contacts you wish to back up. </p>

<p> I particularly like this contact backup method as I can choose how to export the iPhone contacts – as Android files, as Gmail contacts, or as regular vCard (VCF) files. </p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<p> In much the same way, you can back up iPhone text messages notes and calendars. Here I am showing how to export an iPhone SMS conversation to the PC. Just click on the Messages button from the main program window. </p>

<h2> iCloud as an alternative to iTunes backup </h2>
<p> iCloud backs up iOS data in much the same way as iTunes. Just as iTunes, iCloud will back up: </p>
<ul>
<li> iOS apps and app data </li>
<li> iOS settings and saved passwords </li>
<li> iOS contacts, text conversations, call logs, notes </li>
<li> iPhone Camera Roll </li>
<li> iPhone calendars and calendar events </li>
</ul>
<p> iCloud backup is more flexible than the one provided by iTunes, as you can back up the iPhone via iCloud regardless whether you have a PC. Also, you can <a href="http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766" target="_blank">set iCloud to automatically back up iOS data off your iPhone</a>. To do so, go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup and turn on “iCloud Backup”. </p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BQde8Xsdjv0/Uta-9DjzUxI/AAAAAAAABIk/UJP7xoIdibg/s1600/icloud-backup-on-iphone.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: center; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">

</div>
<p> The same limitation as with iTunes backup exists however when it comes to restoring iOS data to the iPhone. The principle is “All or Nothing”. Bottom line, you cannot only restore certain iOS data to the iPhone or iPad from iCloud. </p>
<p> To <a href="http://support.apple.com/kb/ph12521" target="_blank">restore iPhone from iCloud</a>, you need to wipe out your previous iPhone data and settings by going to Settings > General > Reset, then tap “Erase all content and settings”. </p>

<h2> The new iPad on the block </h2>
<p> Apple announced two new iPad models – the iPad Air (5th generation) and the iPad mini with Retina display (2nd generation iPad mini). I got myself the iPad Air as soon as it was out and would consider whether to also go for the iPad mini Retina once its released by the end of November. </p>
<p> You can see me unboxing my new iPad Air toy: </p>

</div>
<p> Compared to the older iPad models, the new iPad Air has thinner side bezels. It looks remarkably similar to the iPad mini (although it is larger). See how the iPad Air compares with my old iPad 2. </p>

</div>
<p> Apple notes that the iPad Air with its 469 grams (1.034 lb) is lighter than its predecessor. However, the iPad does not feel noticeably lighter. Also, although thinner than the previous iPad, the iPad Air does not feel so. At its maximum depth, the iPad Air is indeed 7.5 mm (0.30 in) which is less than the previous iPad 9.4 mm (0.37 in); however, the new iPad Air features less difference between its minimum and maximum depth than the iPad 4th generation. </p>
<p> In terms of speed, the iPad Air, does feel perceptibly swifter with its A7 microprocessor and M7 graphics coprocessor. </p>
<h2> iPhone 5s hands-on </h2>
<p> The iPhone 5s is Apple’s most advanced iPhone so far and it does indeed feel like a jewel. This having been said, however, physically it is not much different than the iPhone 5 which spoils some of the excitement. </p>
<p> I unboxed my iPhone 5s Gold back in September and hurried to test the Touch ID. Holding it in my hand for the first time, I did not feel the iPhone 5s was lighter than its predecessor. I clearly remember the substantial difference between the weight of iPhone 5 and the iPhone 4S. </p>

<p> Now, the iphone 5s is indeed impressive with its A7 chip (the first 64-bit chip installed on a mobile device). However, unless you substitute your PSP PlayStation Portable or PSVITA with the iPhone (I don’t), you won’t notice the huge graphics performance and speed difference. </p>

<p> The new iPhone 5s camera is much worth it however. The 5s is currently the only iPhone to allow slow-motion video shooting. In general, I am pleased with both the iPad Air and the iPhone 5s and would recommend upgrading to anyone with a previous iPad or iPhone generation. </p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12456783244160444456noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1175630980921707663.post-5642407816884970102013-09-25T04:26:00.002-07:002013-09-25T04:28:14.129-07:00iOS 7 update problems: What can occur and how to resolve?<p> There are a number of problems which could occur when updating the iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch to iOS 7. First, and foremost, make sure back up all iOS data on your iPhone via iTunes or iCloud before proceeding with updating. This will save you a lot of trouble should the iOS 7 update fail. </p>
<p> Be sure to check the following article which will help you resolve some of the most common issues occurring during update to iOS 7: <a href="http://goo.gl/axuVqT" target="_blank">http://goo.gl/axuVqT</a>. </p>

</div>
<p> When upgrading, make sure to update iOS via using OTA (over-the-air) update rather than using iTunes. OTA update brings increased reliability of the iOS upgrade process. If you choose to upgrade via iTunes, you might encounter error messages during or after the update. </p>
<p> Here’s a list with the most common problems during iOS 7 update: </p>
<ul>
<li> <p> iTunes returns an error message during iOS 7 update </p> </li>
<li> <p> iPhone in Recover Mode after upgrading iOS </p> </li>
<li> <p> iPhone data restore incomplete after firmware update </p> </li>

<p> UPDATE: In the meantime, I just unboxed both the iPhone 5s and iPad Air. Check out the review here: <a href="http://goo.gl/noyPVg">iPhone 5s and iPad Air hands-on</a>.
<p> Earlier this week <a href="http://goo.gl/a86bVH" target="_blank">Apple announced the arrival of two new phones: iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s</a>. The news confirms previous rumors that there will not be one but two iPhones announced once of which, the iPhone 5c brightly colored and relatively cheaper. The iPhone 5s, on the other hand is a jewel of advanced mobile technology that I personally can’t wait to put my hands on. </p>
<p> Here is a fun look at how Apple's iPhone 5s / 5c event was all about :) <a href="http://goo.gl/OEY0C1" target="_blank">http://goo.gl/OEY0C1</a> </p>

<p> Apple fans in nine countries around the world, including USA, UK and Australia, can start pre-ordering the iPhone 5s as early as tomorrow, September 13th. I will try an pre-order too the same day and once I receive the iPhone will do an in-depth hands-on review. </p>
