Permanently Unlock Your AT&T iPhone – Remotely!

admin — Tue, 13 Mar 2012 18:27:02 +0000

One of the biggest problems people have with trying to permanently unlock an AT&T iPhone is that the unlocks sometimes don’t last; when Apple releases a new firmware update for the iPhone, there is a chance that installing it will reset your unlock settings and you may need to unlock your AT&T iPhone again. This depends on how your iPhone was unlocked initially, but regardless, knowing that you might have to go through the process again is never fun.

Luckily, there are now methods you can use to permanently unlock AT&T iPhones, even remotely. Apple Unlocker offers a remote iPhone unlocking service that permanently unlocks any iPhone on the AT&T network. Enter your IMEI number (your IMEI can be located in your phone’s “About” information, or by dialing *#06#), and the unlock can be processed remotely from anywhere in the world.

The best part is, once the unlock is processed, you never have to unlock your phone again— even after firmware updates! For more infomation about this service, and other unlocking/jailbreaking packages, visit www.unlockjailbreakmyiphone.com. Click on “Order Now” and browse through the available services. Once you find one that fits your phone and carrier, click on it for more information.

Got an iPad for Christmas 2011? Learn to Use It!

admin — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 06:50:43 +0000

Naturally, Apple iPads were a popular holiday gift this year. That means there are a lot of new iPad users out there this month…some of them who might still be confused about how to make the most of their new device. Getting started with a new iPad and learning all of the features can be a daunting task, especially if you aren’t familiar with other Apple devices. If you’re a new iPad owner, you probably know that it can do a lot. But if the first thing you did with yours was an internet search for “how to use an iPad”, this post should help a little.

I want to use my new iPad for movies/music/eBooks/etc. What file formats does it support? This is only a concern if you plan to get a significant amount of your media from places other than iTunes. Naturally, Apple provides all iTunes content in a compatible format. If you aren’t using iTunes, here are the file formats supported by the iPad:

iPad supported Music/Audio file formats: .mp3, .m4p, .m4a, .wav, .aiff
iPad supported Image file formats: .jpg, .png, .gif
iPad supported Video file formats: .m4v, .mp4, .mov, .avi
iPad supported eBook file formats: .epub

This list is not entirely inclusive, however. These are the file formats supported by the iPad as is, but third partyy apps can allow you to view other files as well.

Can I read Kindle books on my iPad? Yes, you can. Get the Kindle app for iPad, and you will be able to buy and read any of the millions of titles available from the Kindle Store on your iPad.

Can I read textbooks on my iPad? Of course. Any textbook you can purchase via iTunes, Kindle, or another compatible eBook store can be read on your iPad. You can also sign up for a subscription textbook service, allowing you to access unlimited textbooks on your iPad for a one time fee.

Can I use my own accessories with my iPad? Where can I get iPad accessiories? Any headphones with a standard sized jack can be used with the iPad. The iPad also has bluetooth capability that allows it to pair with most bluetooth devices. The only accessories that might need to be tailored specifically for the iPad are iPad cases, docks, and keyboard accessories. When shopping for these accessories, make sure they are made to fit the size of your iPad. More about iPad accessories…

I need extra security. Where can I get an iPad VPN? If you’re worried about security risks or identity theft while using your iPad on public networks, you might be in the market for a VPN to keep your browsing safe. HidePad offers this security service for iPads, as do a handful of other providers.

Apps are so expensive! How can I jailbreak my iPad? Where can I get free iPad apps? iPads come with some unfortunate restrictions, one of which doesn’t allow you to use apps that aren’t sold in the iTunes App Store. Jailbreaking your iPad removes these restrictions, so that you can download and run free third-party apps without having to go through iTunes. If you don’t want to jailbreak, just keep your eyes open for special promotions in the App Store. Many apps are offered for free for a limited time, and we try to post some of them here. Read this post for more about jailbreaking/unlocking.

I have a great idea for a new app. How can I make my own iPad apps? Depending on how tech-savvy you are, making your own iPad app might not be as hard as you think. Enroll in the iOS developer program, check out Apple’s developer resources, pick up a iPad app guide book, or (if you want less of a challenge) sign up for a step-by-step app developer course.

I’m still lost! Where can I learn more about how to use my new iPad? Many people believe the included Apple manual to be lacking in clear and detailed information, so as a result there are thousands of webpages out there to provide more help with learning your way around the iPad. There’s even an iPad 2 “Missing Manual” that fills in all the holes in Apple’s guides (and then some!). If reading isn’t your thing, there’s even a series of iPad video lessons to help new iPad owners out.

Giving eBooks for Christmas? Half Off Popular eBook Subscriptions

admin — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 02:31:38 +0000

If you are shopping for a tablet owner or avid reader, eBooks can make a surprisingly good gift. In fact, there’s a long list of reasons why you should consider giving eBooks as gifts this year.

They’re inexpensive, so you can gift more than one
They’re great “stocking stuffers”
Almost instant delivery – great last minute gifts
Good gifts for coworkers and other acquaintances you might not know well
No gift wrapping, tape, or boxes
No clutter – buy a whole collection!

One of the more confusing parts of giving an eBook as a gift is how exactly to “give” the digital file. There are plenty of options for sending eBook gifts.

If you’re giving Kindle eBooks, Amazon provides a great guide about how to send them as gifts.
Download the eBook to a CD. Then you can decorate it, or attach a nice note or holiday image.
Give two gifts in one – download the eBook to a thumb drive. They get the book, and can reuse the drive later.
Unsure which books are best? Give a gift card to an eBook seller like Amazon or Kobo.

But what’s even better than giving one eBook? Giving unlimited eBooks! Consider making someone happy with an unlimited eBook subscription for their device. This saves you the hassle of having to pick a title for them. They will have millions of titles to pick from themselves, and will have lifetime membership in most cases (meaning they might not ever need to pay for an individual eBook again). Who wouldn’t want that this year?

For tablet, eReader, PC, and mobile phone owners:

For iPad, iPhone, and Mac owners:

As a special holiday treat for readers of My Free iPad Downloads, enter the coupon code “XMAS2011” to get 50% off the one-time membership fee for the Droid Library and/or MyPadMedia.

Gifts for iPad Owners – iPad Accessory Gift Ideas

admin — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 22:53:30 +0000

Do you need a gift for an iPad owner, or someone who might be recieving an iPad for Christmas this year? The iPad and other tablets are popular gifts, but unfortunately they usually come without accessories that many people consider vital to fully enjoying them. If you need some simple gift ideas for an iPad owner, you might want to consider one of these popular accessories.

Best iPad Cases to Gift

Anyone who owns an iPad knows that they are pretty expensive to repair or replace. The first line of defense to protect against iPad damage is a case, and anyone who wants to keep their device safe from harm will appreciate an iPad case for Christmas. There are many different types of cases out there, all of varying materials and quality. If you’re shopping for someone who is pretty careful with their iPad, but might want a little extra protection or perhaps added stand functionality, you might want to consider a high-quality “soft” case made of leather or a similar material. One popular example is the 100% Leather Folio Case by AYL. Although it won’t offer much protection from drops or spills, this sleek and well-built case is very highly rated by users and allows for 3 different stand positions.

If you’re shopping for someone a bit more accident prone, you’ll need a sturdier case. Gumdrop iPad Cases are built to absorb shock and protect from drops. Available in a number of colors and designs, they manage to be sturdy and attractive at the same time. Otterbox cases offer similar protection, with the added stan functionality (depending on the model). Unlike the soft cases, which are generally just sipped on, most of the tougher cases will “snap” on to your iPad.

Best iPad Screen Covers to Gift

Unfortunately, many of these cases will leave the screen of the iPad uncovered for convenience. While this might make it easier to insert and remove your iPad from the case, it leaves your screen prone to scratches and marks. There are plenty simple and cheap iPad screen protectors, but remember that you get what you pay for. If a screen cover comes in a pack of more than one, it means that the company isn’t expecting the first one to last very long.

A popular high-quality screen protector is the iVisor for iPad, which protects the entire front surface of your iPad instead of just the screen. It is more expensive that many other screen protection options, but it lasts a lifetime since it can be cleaned and reapplied easily (instead of thrown away and replaced).

If you want a gift for the iPad owner in your life that’s even more personal, you can buy or design your own unique iPad accessories. Whether you are gifting someone who has had their iPad for a while or someone who has just recieved one, they will certainly be happy to recieve some extra iPad accessories to help protect their prized gadget. And don’t feel oblidged to follow these iPad accessory gift suggestions— the best gifts come from the heart!
