good one Linus!


I found these tips in a magazine recently...

Two- Button Screenshot: to take a picture of what's on your iphone screen:
1) Press Home and On/Off simultaneously.
2) The screenshot will be added to your Camera Roll

To copy an image in Safari, press on the images and hold until Save Image pops up. The image will be saved to your Camera Roll.


Double Click App
Set your iphone so that double tapping the Home button brings up an application, such as Camera.
1) Go to Settings, General and Home: Search, Phone Favourites, Camera or ipod.



iphone Keyboard Shortcuts
Insert punctuation quickly without having to view symbol options every time:
1) To add punctuation to your Alpha keyboard, press the 123 to see numbers and symbol options.
2) Keeping your finger on the screen, slide until you are touching the symbol you want to insert. As you release your finger from the screen, the symbol will be entered into your text and you'll be back the Apha keyboard.

Delete text using Gesture Controls
Instead of holding down DELETE to erase a line of text, here's an easier way:
1)Shake the handset.
2)You'll get a pop-up message asking if you'd like to "Undo typing" or "cancel". Choose undo and the last entered text will be gone.

There is also a display character count in messages short cut that I will type out of anyone is interested.

Is this a MacBook, MacBook Pro, iMac, Mac Tower?

This feels like an issue with a laptop-based Mac and could be an issue with the trackpad and pressing on the sides too much (I get this sometimes). If you are using a wireless mouse, may be time for a new battery.

girl_dee 10-06-2011 06:54 PM

maybe a key is stuck somewhere! or your computer is possessed.

cinderella 10-06-2011 07:06 PM

Linus, this is a MacBook - refurbished, I could'nt afford a new one. Also, I've tried posting songs from YouTube, and can't the way I did on my PC. Can you tell me how to do that? Thanks in advance.

Let's deal with one issue at a time.

Your mouse: is it the trackpad or are you using an external mouse?

I think my next phone will be an iPhone 4S :drool:
In memory of Steve Jobs!

Kelt 10-15-2011 03:49 PM

Well, I finally pulled the trigger on ordering a smartphone, yep, my first one.

iPhone 4s because I have an iMac. With any luck they can just talk to each other and leave me alone. I'm pretty sure the phone will be smarter than I am.

Considering hiring a 12 year old to shadow me for a couple of days when it gets here to teach me the ways of the world.

What have I gotten into?

:doh:

You'll love having a smartphone. The computer in your pocket! Have fun with your new toy. :cheesy:

My Mac now has it's own little mini-me. I may be a little disturbed.

It is in it's dock; I assume they are communing in some way.

Set up seemed simple enough. My Wi-Fi is named Hal.

I hope that isn't some kind of predictor.

I guess this means I have joined the current century.

Hmm

More tea

I <3 my MacBook Pro and iPhone 4 (running the new iOS 5)

ButchEire 10-25-2011 11:44 AM

"i" am addicted to everything Apple and have a MacBook Pro, iPad and iPod touch. I need therapy :blink:

I've been an iDork for years, and gasped when I heard about Steve Jobs, although I knew he'd been sick for awhile.

My elementary school actually had the old-school Macs, and that's what I originally learned to use a computer on. My high school and college were all Mac school's as well.

For a high school graduation present, my parents bought me one of the candy coloured iBooks, which I had for about 8 years. About two years ago, I saved my money to buy a white MacBook. I also have an iPod touch, and an iPhone 3GS. I have no idea what I did before I got an iPhone.

I am thinking of getting the 4S. I can tell my phone is starting to get a little buggy. After upgrading to iOS5, my music screen frequently freezes on me, and I have to restart the whole phone. :annoyed: It's getting slower as well.

No iPad, as I'm still torn between an iPad and a Kindle.

I converted my partner as well, and she bought herself a refurbished MacBook Pro last year.

I am an Apple geek! Ever since I purchased the iPod Color in 2005..? I have been addicted and wanting more.

Today I have a MBP, iPhone 4, and a shuffle and usually try find an excuse to get another product or upgrade.

Surprisingly enough, I haven’t purchased the Lion OS because I did hear about many issues and I’ve yet to be disappointed with Snow Leopard. :)

Help!
 
Ok I got my Macbook Pro 2 years ago, since then Snow Leopard and Lion have come out and since I love my laptop as it is, I haven;t upgraded.

Now I have an iphone and saw the iCloud app and all that glory. Is it worth it for me to upgrade all of this to get iCloud? Does anyone have this and love it?

I used the iCloud for bit on my iPhone 4 but found it was draining my battery like nothing else. That said, I would recommend at least upgrading to Snow Leopard. The security fixes and performance fixes would be enough, IMO, to do that upgrade at the least.

As for Lion, I've heard it has had repeated reports of issues and to wait until the first major update/fix for it.

I was so hoping you would chime in, thank you. I love everything about my Mac of course and very happy with my iphone so I am not going to futz with it. This is why I don't care about having the latest and the newest because the bugs always come with that.

I've upgraded to IOS 5 but am not using iCloud. It only provides a limited amount of storage unless you pay.

I'm on Snow Leopard but considering Lion as it's not very expensive to upgrade - although also in consideration is how much I would use the 'extra features'.
