Itouch tips, tricks, and disscussions

Hey all of you Apple fans! Apple has created a new application for the iPhone and iPad and its sounds pretty interesting. Here’s Apple’s description of what this application does:

“The iTunes U app gives you access to complete courses from leading universities and other schools — plus the world’s largest digital catalog of free education content — right on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch. Whether you’re majoring in molecular biology at a university, taking Spanish in high school, or just interested in European history, you now have a valuable tool to help you learn anytime, anywhere.”

Features:

• iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later
• An Apple ID with an iTunes Store account
• iTunes 10.5.3 or later is required to sync with a computer
• The selection of courses, collections, and availability of content linked from within a course may vary by country

You Don't Even Have To Press Record. Just Turn It On!

The LED light on the iPhone is a nice feature. You can turn the flash on and off when taking photos or video. When you turn the flash on while filming, the light is on and this can be used as a flash light when you want to see. It’s a pretty bright light and it looks really cool. It can use up a lot of battery power so I wouldn’t recommend using it nonstop. When you turn off the iPhone’s screen, the light shuts off too because this tells the device that you aren’t filming anymore. The light only comes on if you turn it on while filming a video. Hope you enjoy this feature!

Suprise Someone You Love

Letterpress Cards from Apple makes it easy to create and mail beautifully crafted cards personalized with your own text and photos. This application is free and they are pretty fun to make. First you choose a design, add your own photo and message, and then choose your recipient. Apple will print your card and mail it for you. Even though this is free, each card is $2.99 when sent within the U.S. and $4.99 when sent to or from anywhere else. This includes postage and you get a notification the day it is supposed to arrive (in the U.S.).

You need to have the new iOS 5 update on your Apple device in order to get this card making application. In the application, you can swipe to choose 21 letterpress designs with all kinds of different themes to choose from. Tap to add your own message, try out a favorite photo, or a new photo that you took. Finally all you have to do is choose someone from your contacts list and then Apple does the dirty work for you.

How Far Can You Go?

This game is the new top hit in the App Store and it is so addicting. You can download this game for free and enjoy playing this cool graphical game. The storyline is about some adventurer who finds a golden monkey idol thing and takes it. The monkeys get angry at him and start to chase you. The objective of the game is to collect coins and run away from them (or get the highest score you possibly can). This game is pretty fun and competitive when it comes to beating your friend’s high score.

At the end of the game, it tells you your score, distance you’ve ran, how many coins you collected, and multiplier. There are also little icons that say Store, Free Coins, Tweet, and then the Game Center icon. The store icon is where you can spend your coins that you collect during the game. It gives you powerups and upgrades so it can help you get a higher score. The Game Center icon lets you see your friend’s scores and all kinds of other scores. The Free Coins icon lets you buy more coins and the Tweet icon is just for Twitter stuff.

The main menu shows you objectives, stats, store, options, and more games. You can check out what objectives you need to unlock (while you play). The stats tell you your progress in the game and you can go to the options section to turn the volume down and stuff like that. It also has an option to turn the tutorial on or off if you don’t know how to control/play the game. If you like Temple Run, then go ahead and check out their other games. You might like them a lot too.

Here are some interesting questions that people have asked. You may find this very helpful especially if you are experiencing these problems. If you have any questions of your own, just contact us.

Q: IPhone 4 not restoring! Help? I plugged my iPhone 4 into my MacBook this afternoon to update the software, it downloaded fine but when I tried to then put it onto the phone, it keeps saying that the restore failed and I have to try again but every time I do the same happens again. This means I can’t even get onto the phone, it just stays with the whole plug into iTunes picture! I’ve turned my laptop on and off, pressed the home and lock button on the phone and unplugged the phone from the laptop. What else can I do and why is this happening?

Do You Have Any Questions? Contact Us Now

A: I’ve had the same issue with my iPod Touch (with version 4 not iOS 5) and it was so frustrating because it took me hours till I got it solved. Hopefully my issue will solve yours. If you’ve been clicking on the option to “download and update” and it kept saying that it failed, then try just downloading the software only. Then update it separately (by syncing it or clicking on an option button that says update iPhone). Hopefully that should work for you. If not, then I would recommend going to your nearest Apple Store and tell them about your issue. So far, updating Apple devices to the new iOS 5 has just been a screw up.

Q: Can I set a text signature on my iPhone 4s? If so how?

A: That is so odd. It’s like Apple totally forgot about that feature. They’ve put it on the older iPhones, but on the iPhone 4 and 4s, you can’t set your signature. You can set an e-mail signature, but they don’t have the option to set your own text message signature right now. They may have this option in their future iPhones or in some update.

Q: I Lose My Ipod Touch And what happends when Someone Unblocks It ? I Lost my Ipod Touch Last night at the movies, and it had a passcode,I Know that it is possible to unblock it, but when they unbluck it can they see all my pictures , passwords, and stuff i had in it? Or does all the information in it reset? ): please tell me?

A: I’ve had a similar experience except someone stole my iPod Touch. Did you have an application on your iPod Touch called “Find my iPhone” by Apple? That application helps a lot for any Apple device when it’s lost or stolen (but it can only locate iPods if they’re connected to the internet).
The person who stole my iPod Touch jail broke it. This means they went through the pass code and totally jacked my iPod up. That’s one way someone can get in your iPod with a pass code. When they jailbreak the iPod, it wipes out everything (if they set it that way) and can do all kinds of crazy stuff to make it look like it’s not yours at all. But there is a way to get all of your stuff back (which is re-syncing it in your iTunes. Hopefully the person will do the right thing and give you your iPod back.

It's A Very Nice Feature And Easy To Use Program

I am into all kinds of music and I just love it. I try to find all the songs that I want and put them on my iPod. Problem is I can’t find all of the songs that I want. Some of them may be too “old” or just hard to find. You may find it in iTunes, but sometimes it says “Album Only” or it just costs too much. So I did some searching and I found something called YouTube FreeCorder.

Literally you can find all kinds of songs on YouTube. People watch music videos or favorite clips on that site all the time. YouTube FreeCorder allows you to record anything on YouTube and you can put the recording in your iTunes library. This is what I’ve done with some of the songs I couldn’t find and it’s a lifesaver. When you are done recording, all you have to do is right click it (you can also rename your recording) and then click “play in default player.”

All you have to do is download the free toolbar and then click on the music note (after you are done with the download). Then you play the video and it will automatically start recording once it realizes it’s playing. It will only record things from your computer (not your surroundings). If you are in a busy environment, it won’t pick up any noise from outside. Only audio that is coming from your computer. Hope you like it!

You Can Also Edit Other Things Like Adding The Album Name

Have you ever gotten a song for you’re iPhone or iPod Touch and it shows a music note instead of the album art cover? I never liked that at all and this usually happens when you get music for free. There is a way to fix this, but it can take some time if you have a lot of these music note icons.

First you have to get or choose a song with the music note on it. Then, right click the song and click on “Get Info” and there’s a tab that says “Artwork.” Click on that and this will let you add a picture to the song (so it will show as the album cover). You can get the picture albums by searching on Google images and then saving it to your computer so you can add it.

I’ve done this to many of my songs lately. If you have songs from the same artist, it may give you different albums (saying unknown or thinking it’s a different album even though it’s not). So just letting you know, this method may give you multiple albums with different songs instead of all the songs being together in one album.

Now You Can Choose Your Amount

Apple has many different money amounts for the iTunes gift cards. The main ones are the $15, $25, $30, and even a $50. Some people may want to have a choice on how much they want to put on their card. The best way is to get their new cards that let you choose the amount you want. Now they have these yellow iTunes gift cards that will let you put anything between $15-$250 in one card. I think this is pretty neat.

There are other gift cards for iTunes but they say “for the App Store.” This will still work for iTunes. It’s all in the same category. Even the other cards that say “happy birthday” or other messages will work fine. I get free iTunes gift cards by searching (just like Google) on the internet. All you have to do is sign up and then search (like you would normally do). Once you have enough points, you can get prizes (one of them being an iTunes gift card). If you are interested in getting a free iTunes gift card, then click here.

This Application Is Very Easy To Use!

Looking for new applications? Downloading Discovr Apps by Jammbox lets you see all kinds of different applications that are similar to the one you are searching. For example, when you start the app, it asks you to type in a name (of an application) or tap one of the recommended apps below. I searched Discovr Music (also created by Jammbox) and it gave me tons of other applications that were similar to that one app.

I love this application because it really helps if you’re trying to find new applications similar to another app. After I typed the application name in the search box, it had a small little group of 6 applications surrounding it. They are all similar applications to what I searched for. If you tap on one of them, it will show you more applications that are similar to the application you tapped on. On the bottom of the application’s icon, you can see the rating of the app, if it’s for iPhone or iPad, and if the application costs or not. Double tapping on the application will lead you to the description page and a link to download it.

I found so many new applications by using this Discovr Apps. It’s only $2.99 in the App Store, but sometimes it does go on sale. If you’re someone who likes to download new things from the App Store, then I would recommend getting this app. It’s very entertaining and interesting on what you can find. Who knows? Maybe you can find something even better than what you were originally looking for.

Listen To Live Classical Music

I love to listen to Classical Music whenever I can. The way the music goes just sounds so beautiful and it’s amazing how all those instruments go together perfectly. I found three applications that I think you’ll enjoy a lot. The names of these apps are: Classical KDFC, Classical Music I: Master’s Collection Vol. 1, and Classical Music II: Master’s Collection Vol. 2. The Master’s Collection apps don’t need Wi-Fi in order to listen to the music, but the KDFC one needs to have internet in order to listen to it.

Classical KDFC is a free application and it’s one of my favorites. It’s an actual radio station form San Francisco California and they play live music (like radio). You can listen to it, set it for your alarm clock (so you wake up to the classical music playing), let it play in the background, buy the song (that’s playing), Facebook, and check out their events. It seems like there’s a lot of stuff in this app, but really it’s just really nice and easy to use. On the top right hand corner is a little “i” button. If you tap on that, you can visit KDFC’s Website, call them, and send feedback.

Listen To Classical Anywhere

The next application is the Classical Music I: Master’s Collections Vol. 1 and Classical Music II: Master’s Collections Vol. 2. You can download the volume 1 for free, but it only gives you 30 seconds of the song to listen to. If you want to listen to the full song, then you have to upgrade (in app purchasing) for only $4.99. The volume 2 app costs $4.99 but they give you the full length songs to begin with. This may seem expensive, but it is really worth it because you get 120 songs and more (as they upgrade). It’s all kinds of Classical Masterpieces from all kinds of famous composers.  All the music in these apps is just wonderful to listen to.
