First and foremost, you’ll need something like this:

http://www.i-funbox.com/

iFunbox is FREE file and app management tool for the iphone/ipod touch/ipad. (It acts like File Explorer to connect Windows and Mac OSX to your iphone, etc.). This tool makes it possible to import and export wallpapers, and sound files.

To use iFunbox:

1. Install the program.

2. Open the program and plug in your iphone to the pc.

3. Look at the file system on your left. You should see something like this. (Click the picture to get a better look at it.)
Notice iFunbox is saying my iphone is plugged in and recognized. This means it’s ready for me to export and import my files.

This is where wallpaper is found inside of the file system of your iphone. The thumbnails of each picture is also found in another folder, so try not to delete anything manually from iFunbox, or the thumbnails will still show up in your phone.

To import pictures to your phone, you need to click the “QUICK TOOLBOX” tab on the top. You’ll see the icons showing you what you can import and export. Click the “PHOTO LIBRARY” icon (see mouse hand below), to find your wallpapers you want to put on your phone.

To import ringtones and sounds, you can click the “USER RINGTONE” icon. Your ringtones need this extension to work: .m4r

 

 

How to use i-tunes to put wallpaper on your iphone ….

1. Open i-tunes and choose your phone.
2. Choose Photos.
3. Choose “sync” and “choose folder”

Any photos you have in that folder will automatically be synced together with i-tunes and your iphone. On your iphone, click the Photo (icon). Your pictures are stored inside, in various places, depending on your General Setting’s preferences.

If you accidentally sync the wrong folder, you will have pictures on your phone that you didn’t want on your phone. If this happens, you can delete all those pictures off of your iphone instantly, by doing the same procedure (above). Re-sync i-tunes with an empty folder or a folder that only has certain pictures in it that you wish to have on your phone. After you-re-sync, i-tunes will create a new cache.

Why is this important to know? Not all pictures on your iphone can be deleted, just using your iphone. This usually happens when a program has synced devices, together. (ie browser add-ons and Windows 8).

Remember to *note* that you can’t use iFunbox to delete pictures manually. If you do, you will still have thumbnails of those pictures on your phone.

FINDING APPS FOR YOUR iPHONE

The next thing you’ll probably wonder about, is where to get yourself some cool apps. There are many places to find your apps, but I recommend the obvious, first, which is: https://itunes.apple.com/us/genre/ios/id36?mt=8 (i-tunes). You can use the itunes APP store inside of your phone or go directly to their site.

http://appcrawlr.com ( AppCrawler ) is a site that has an extended and wonderful search engine.

You will find other places to find apps, but you have to be a little careful. Many of these sites will be offering apps you can only use if your phone is jail-broken. You will not be able to install a jail-broken app on a regular phone.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS_jailbreaking ( What is “Jailbreaking” )

*Note*
If you choose to jail-break your iphone, you nullify the warranty.

Lastly, to save space, try this: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/01/08/iphone-free-space-tips_n_6269756.html ( Free up space on your iphone ).

Windows 10 – The future is here

With the upcoming release of Windows 10 in July 2015 – yes, they really skipped Windows 9 – there has been a lot of controversy over the much anticipated, new operating system. To begin with, let’s start with the questions everybody is wondering.

The new ATM

ATMIA recommends migration to Windows 10 as the new ATM OS

Some people have even mentioned after previewing Windows 10, they actually got the “creeps”. Especially from Cortana’s ease of acquiring personal information and habits. With the inclusion of Alljoyn technology (AllSeenAlliance), it made them wonder .. is this like another HAL? (from Space Odyssey 2001)

I’m reporting live from Linux – you be the judge.

Color Your PC

Anyone who spends a great deal of time at their computer,
understands the importance of having their environment
“look just right”.

One piece of uniqueness I found, is the Greybusters keyboard.
I find them a good example to look for when you find yourself
shopping for a little color to add to your desk. (I got the Northpole!).

Another fun accessory to add to your desk is having the
right mouse to guide you across the internet. Here’s
another improvement I found worthwhile.
The “Spot” mouse by Logitech.

CNet’s “Best Browser” Award

The browser battle. Which one is best?

CNet did a recent comparison and has released their
end results. The top four browsers to choose from are:

1. Internet Explorer
2. FireFox
3. Safari
4. Chrome (the latest from Google)

Opera was given a nod and pat on the back, but it still
doesn’t compare to any of the above browser’s features.

Ok, who’s number one? Here is a short review.

On SPEED … Internet Explorer was sloowwwww. Chrome
wasn’t too bad, but it could improve. FireFox came out
as being the fastest browser on the net.

On SECURITY … Internet Explorer … really bad. Safari was
second, Chrome wasn’t too bad … but (again), FireFox was
the winner and is considered the most secure browser.

On CUSTOMIZATION … Chrome – not too bad but it lacks
plugin support. Safari, ok. Internet Explorer (as we know)
keeps growing … but the “swiss army knife” of browsers and
plugins/addons, etc. was FireFox.

On KILLER FEATURES … Safari is pretty good and Chrome
is refreshing, and new. Internet Explorer? It’s … interesting.
FireFox … is the killer in customization.

The winner (and people’s choice) for personal experience,
speed, features, and safety is FireFox. You can download
the newest version here, and don’t forget to add all those
cool themes, add-ons, and plugins.

Oh, and by the way … IE (Internet Explorer) came in last place.
