How to Fixing an iPhone Stuck at Apple Logo?

After jailbreaking, updating the OS, or restoring from backup an iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad, a problem can sometimes occur in which the iPhone won't boot properly. In this situation, the iPhone can get stuck at the Apple logo, or sometimes in an endless loop of rebooting--both of which render the device unusable.

In most cases, you can solve these problems by putting the phone into recovery mode and restoring it from backup. To do that, follow these instructions:

1. Connect the iPhone's USB cable to your computer, but not your iPhone.
2. Turn your iPhone off. If the phone won't turn off in the traditional manner, just keep holding the buttons until the screen goes dark.
3. Once you've turned the device off, press the home button on the face of the device and plug in the USB cable to the device's dock connector.
4. When it turns on, keep pressing the home button until the iTunes logo appears on the screen.
5. You'll know the phone is now in recovery mode because a window in iTunes will tell you.
6. You can then start the restore process by clicking the "Restore" button in the iTunes window.

Check out these awesome iPhone-controlled RC cars

There’s no shortage of iPhone-controlled vehicles on the market these days. We’ve seen cars, helicopters, robots, and even tiny spheres that can be controlled with Apple’s handset. But we’ve never seen anything look this good. The folks over at iHelicopters.net, yes, the makers of the rocket-launching Cobra copter, just informed us that they’ve got a new lineup of iPhone-controlled RC cars out that we wouldn’t want to miss. And they were right… The company’s RC car collection comes in a number of different flavors. You can choose from gorgeous replicas of popular makes and models including an Audi R8, Q7, BMW X6, 5 series, or a more ruggedly-designed stunt racer. The cars are controlled by a dedicated iOS app, which interfaces with an audio jack transmitter. And judging from the video, they seem to be pretty well made. They’re fast, responsive, and can last for up to 60 minutes on a single charge. If you’re interested, you can purchase one of these awesome cars from iHelicopter’s online store. It looks like all models run just under $60/RM180, which is about middle-of-the-road for remote control vehicles. What do you think? Are these cars awesome or what?

How to Lock Portrait Orientation in iPhone 4S

The iPhone 4S Portrait Orientation Lock prevents your screen from shifting to landscape mode when you're reading and lying down.

How do you lock portrait orientation in iPhone 4S when the screen orientation automatically changes with how you hold your phone? In Messages for example, you can type in landscape or portrait orientation by just holding the phone sideways, or upright. This landscape-portrait orientation shift happens automatically. But what if you're lying down? You're going to be holding your phone sideways and so your screen shifts to landscape orientation. How do you lock it to portrait orientation so you can type and read stuffs upright?

Step 1. You can lock the portrait orientation in iPhone 4S by first double clicking the Home button. Four of your recently used apps will appear at the bottom of the screen.

The recently opened apps will appear by clicking the Home button twice in iPhone 4S.

Step 2. Now swipe right over the apps and you'll end up with five icons (left to right): The Portrait Orientation Lock, three music control buttons, and the Music app. The Portrait Orientation Lock is the leftmost icon with the circular arrow symbol.

Swipe right over the recently used apps to find the Portrait Orientation  Lock icon.

Step 3. To lock the iPhone 4S screen in portrait orientation, select the Portrait Orientation Lock icon. A "lock" will appear inside the circular arrow, and the status 'Portrait Orientation Locked' will briefly appear below the icons. Select the Home button again to exit.

The Portrait Orientation Lock icon, once selected, will show a "lock" symbol inside the circular arrow.

Notice that the Portrait Orientation Lock symbol will also appear in the status bar right at the top of the Home Screen and between the time and the battery level symbol.

That "Portrait Orientation Locked" symbol appears in the status bar when it is enabled.

With the portrait orientation locked, you can only type, browse photos, and read in upright position. Of course, apps that are developed and released in landscape view cannot be "forced" to portrait. To disable the portrait orientation lock, just repeat the three steps above. When you do that, the "lock" will disappear from inside the circular arrow symbol in the Portrait Orientation Lock icon, the status "Portrait Orientation Unlocked" will confirm your action, and you can start shifting between landscape and portrait orientations again.

Additional info: It is the gyroscope inside the iPhone 4S that senses and maintains the screen orientation using the concept of angular momentum (Google is your friend). Circuits inside your phone receive the gyroscope output, feeds it to your firmware, and your firmware decodes the output and shifts the screen orientation accordingly.

How to Add Birthdays in the iPhone 4S Calendar

If you want to add someone's birthday in your iPhone 4S Calendar, you will need to add a Birthday field to that contact in your Contacts app. The iPhone 4S Mail, Contacts, and Calendar apps are integrated so specifying a birthday to a contact would result to a birthday event being automatically created in your Calendar without you having to create (or reenter) it manually. Birthday events will be treated as all-day appointments. Like ordinary appointments, you will get a notification or alert for birthday events as well. Below is a step-by-step tutorial on how to add a birthday field to a contact, and consequently a birthday event to the iPhone 4S Calendar.

Step 1. Go to Contacts. Open the contact that you want to a add a birthday field to. Select Edit.

The Edit button for a contact's info in iPhone 4S can be found on the upper right corner of the Info panel.

Step 2. Browse all the way down to the bottom of the contact's Info, and select add field.

The "add field" option for a contact's info lets you add details like Nickname, Job Title, and Birthday.

Step 3. From the Add Field list, select Birthday and specify the contact's birth date. After that, select Done.

You can specify a contact's birthday by rolling through the month-date-year  selector in the add Birthday field.

Step 4. The contact's birthday should appear in Info along with the contact other details (mobile, email, etc.).

A specified birthday will appear along with the contact's other details in Info.

Step 5. Go to Calendar, and confirm that a birthday event has been created for that contact.

To view a birthday event in Calendar, simply select the date and it should be listed at the bottom  along with other available appointments for the selected day.

Step 6. Make sure that the Birthdays is always enabled in Calendars so that birthday events will appear. To check, select the Calendars button on the upper left corner of the Calendars panel. Browse all the way to the bottom and make sure there is tick mark next to Birthdays.

Enable Birthdays in Calendar to make sure that birthday events and alerts will be enabled in the iPhone 4S Calendars app.

That's it. You have just successfully added birthday events in the iPhone 4S Calendar by specifying birthday fields in Contacts. If you want to add a birthday event for a person that is not in your contacts list, you can just add the birthday as a normal event or appointment in your Calendar. Just tap on the "+" (plus or add) sign on the upper right corner of the Calendars panel and specify Someone's Birthday in Title and the Starts and Ends time. Or, you can easily just use the Reminders app. For both cases, you can also ask Siri to do the job for you. The same steps apply for adding birthday events in other iOS devices namely iPad, and iPod touch.

How to Auto-Enhance Photos in iPhone 4S

One of the photo editing tools available in iPhone 4S is Auto-Enhance. This post-processing tool applies automatic adjustment on the brightness, contrast, and saturation (color) of captured photos. To enable Auto-Enhance, open a photo from the iPhone 4S Photos app, tap it once to bring out the top and bottom tool bars, and select Edit. Select the "magic wand" symbol from the bottom tool bar to apply Auto-Enhance, and hit Save. That's it, your photo should be enhanced instantly.

The Auto-Enhance photo editing tool in iPhone 4S automatically fixes the brightness, contrast, and saturation of a photo.

Washed-out raw iPhone 4S shot due to high natural brightness. This is the same (single) shot from above, only Auto-enhance is disabled in this photo.

When you apply Auto-Enhance, the "Auto-Enhance On" indicator appears on the lower left corner of the photo while on Edit. The cool thing about this feature is that you can undo or turn off the auto-enhancements anytime after you have applied it and even if you have already saved the edited photo. To turn off Auto-Enhance, just open the photo again, select Edit, and select the "magic wand" symbol. The "Auto-Enhance Off" indicator should appear on the now raw photo. The undo and redo of "Auto-Enhance" is limitless. You can apply and remove photo enhancements even when you have powered off , or reset your iPhone 4S.

iPhone 4S Security: Simple Passcode On or Off?

Simple Passcode in iPhone 4S keeps your phone from unauthorized access with a 4-digit code that's easy to type and remember.

If you enable Passcode in iPhone 4S (Settings > General > Passcode Lock), you'll also be given the option to enable or disable Simple Passcode. By default, Simple Passcode is toggled on. With this, you will be required to come up with a 4-digit code that can wake or unlock your iPhone from sleep mode, and allow you to start using it. This unfortunately also means that only 4 digits keep your personal data from getting accessed if events like your phone got stolen, or someone wants to mess around with your private stuffs ever happen. If you disable Simple Passcode, then you can choose a passcode that's not restricted by number of digits, or character choices - you can use any key or symbol available in the virtual keyboard. But the question is, "does enabling Simple Passcode help increase iPhone 4S security?" An even better question is, "do passcodes even really work to begin with?"

The answer to both questions is Yes. A simple passcode beats no passcode. And a NOT so simple passcode offers better security. Even with mobile phones - specially with mobile phones - your  intention always has to be to protect your own privacy and security. And the best way to do that is to utilize the security settings available in your iPhone 4S. Of course, there is going to be a little bit of a trade off. When Simple Passcode is disabled, it will generally take longer to unlock a phone - you'll be trying to input a possibly longer passcode of different key combinations, as opposed to a simple 4-digit numeric code. And this can be an inconvenience during emergencies; more so if you're phone is set to auto-lock every minute. It is also easier to forget a "complicated" passcode than a simple 4-digit one. A simple 4-digit numeric passcode on the other hand is way easier to crack.

So, should Simple Passcode be toggled on or off? Well, that's ultimately your choice to make. If you opt for Simple Passcode ON, make sure you don't go randomly sharing your 4-digits to anybody. If you opt for Simple Passcode OFF, then make sure your passcode is something you can type fast and remember easily. But whatever your choice may be, it's a good habit to also change passcodes from time to time. It ensures that if someone does figure out your passcode - whether you authorized it, or it just happened by accident - they won't know it for long. Also, don't let people you can't trust touch your iPhone. Privacy and security are things you need to take seriously. A lot of bad things can happen when your phone falls in the wrong hands.

How to Back Up Contacts Using iCloud

The easiest way to back up contacts in iOS 5 devices is through iCloud. Using Apple's latest data-syncing and cloud storage service allows iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad users to manage and store contacts over the air. If you are connected over Wi-Fi or 3G then you can immediately start using iCloud to back up your contacts in 2 easy steps.

Step 1. On your Apple mobile device (e.g., iPhone 4S), go to Settings > iCloud and toggle Contacts "ON". The message prompt "Your contacts will be merged with iCloud" will appear. Select Merge.

Enabling iCloud Contacts will merge the contacts from all your other devices, producing a single common contacts list that is stored and pushed in and by iCloud. 

Step 2. Log in to iCloud.com using your Apple ID and select the Contacts app icon. The contacts in your Apple mobile device should already start appearing. Compare the number of contacts in your device and that in the iCloud address book. Scroll or browse all the way down to see the "numbers of contacts" detail for both lists. If they're not matching, right-click on the contacts list page in iCloud and hit Refresh. When they are, then iCloud has finished syncing.

The iCloud Contacts "address book" can be accessed by logging in at iCloud.com. Users can edit a contact detail and the changes will be reflected in all "iCloud Contacts"-enabled devices.

What happens next?
Remember that when you enable Contacts in iCloud, there will only be one "master" contacts list for the cloud and your Apple mobile device. If you have many devices, then this has to be configured separately for each. For example, if you want your iPhone 4S Contacts changes to be reflected in your iPad, then you have to enable iCloud Contacts in iPad (Step 1 above). When you do that, whatever changes in contacts you do in iPad (e.g., edit a contact number, add a new contact, add a profile picture) will also be reflected in iCloud, and in your iPhone 4S.

You only have one device?
If you only have one Apple mobile device, you can still use iCloud Contacts. You can log in to iCloud.com and whatever changes you make on the list here, will be reflected on your device. The same is true, the other way around.

You deleted a contact?
If you delete a contact, this will also be deleted not only in iCloud but in the rest of your Apple mobile devices. Remember: one common contacts list.

You restored your device and lost all your contacts?
If you restored your device and lost all your contacts, iCloud hasn't. Resetting an iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad, does not reset the iCloud account. So if you want your contacts back, simply toggle on Contacts in iCloud (Step 1) again, and the cloud will start pushing your contacts back to your newly restored device.

With iCloud, you won't need your iTunes and USB cable to back up your contacts. All you need is to toggle a button, and it will take care of the syncing, pushing, and storing for you. 

How to Use the iBooks Night Theme

The iBooks Night theme dims out the brightness of the standard "white-page-black-texts" display of books. (Actual book in the screen shot: Have a Little Faith by Mitch Albom)

iBooks has a Night theme feature which "dims" the brightness and contrast of book pages for low-light and night reading. Night theme lessens the strain caused to the eyes by the brightness of the iPhone or any Apple mobile device's screen  in low-light environments. It changes a book's page color from white to black, and the texts to white. See sample screen shots below.

You can switch between Normal and Night themes by touching the Font icon located at the top of a page of a book.

To enable the iBooks Night theme, you first tap on a page in any book to reveal the iBooks reading tools at top of the page. Touch the Font icon (AA), and then select Theme. From the list select Night. The page instantly dims down. Tap on any part of the page to hide the Themes list and continue reading. To go back to Normal theme, touch the Font icon again, then Theme, and then select Normal. The iBooks Night theme can be used  when you're flying on red eye where the lights are usually turned off, at night before going bed, or when you simply just prefer a dimmed screen.

How to Sync Photos Using iTunes

iTunes can be used to sync photos from your computer to your iPhone and other Apple mobile devices. If you have photos (taken with whatever camera) stored in your computer and you want them to appear in an album in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, you simply need two things: your USB cable, and iTunes. Let's begin the tutorial.

Step 1. In your computer, organize the photos you want to sync by putting them in a folder. For example, if you want to transfer photos from a summer trip, put them all in a folder with a descriptive name. For this tutorial, I have named my folder "Outer Banks Road Trip". You can put the folder in a directory that you can easily locate for syncing later.

Step 2. Connect your iPhone (or other Apple mobile device) to your computer with the USB cable.

Step 3. Open iTunes. While it's not crucial for this tutorial, it is always a good idea to make sure that your iTunes is up to date. The latest version of iTunes may offer new features and fixes to bugs that might have been present in the previous version. To do this, just go to Help menu and select Check for Updates.

Step 4. Confirm that iTunes is able to detect your device. You will know this because the name of your Apple mobile device (e.g., Scott's iPhone or Sam's iPod) will appear in Devices on the left sidebar in iTunes (see screen shot below). If it's there, select it. Your device's Summary should appear in the center panel of iTunes.

Selecting your device's name from Devices in iTunes will show your device's Summary  page by default. From the top bar you can select the Photos tab so you can point to the location of the folder that contains the photos for syncing to your Apple mobile device.

Step 5. On the top bar of your device's Summary in iTunes, select the Photos tab. The center panel should show you the option Sync From Photos. Select it - a tick mark will appear on the left box - and then select the list control button on the right to see the list of directories (For Windows PC the default folder name chosen in the list control box is My Pictures). Select Choose folder... from the list. A dialog box will appear, and then point to the location of the folder that you created in Step 1. Once you have selected the folder name, select OK to close the dialog box.

Your device's Photos tab in iTunes gives you the option to choose the folder  in your computer that you want to sync photos from. You choose a folder by selecting it from the dialog box that appears when you select Choose Folder from the list control button.

Step 6. On the lower right corner of iTunes select the Apply button. Your iTunes should then show statuses  similar to "Syncing Scott's iPhone" and "Starting Sync". On your iPhone, or whatever Apple mobile device your syncing photos to, the sync symbol should appear on the top bar of the screen, between your network's name and the time. When you open the Photos app, you will also see that an empty album with an exact name of the folder your created in your computer in Step 1, and the status "Syncing..." directly below it (see screen shot below).

When you hit the Apply button in iTunes, photos from the specified folder will be synced to the Apple mobile device. Once photo syncing completes, the album will appear in Photos app. 

Notice that two albums are created. Outer Banks Road Trip, and Photo Library. Actually Photo Library is not an album and it is not contain duplicate photos to ones you synced. This is just iOS 5's way of creating a library or a point of access to all photos that you sync to your iPhone or other Apple mobile devices. If you sync another batch of photos to your device, a new album, say "Malik's Stag Party", will appear and the photos in that album will also appear inside the Photo Library. Again, there's no actual duplication of photos. Think of Photo Library as, a thumbnail or preview of all the photos that you have synced to your device.

Well, there you go. You have just synced photos to your device using iTunes in 6 easy steps. You can continue to sync more folders of photos as much as the free space in your device allows. Remember that next time you sync using iTunes, whatever changes you make on the folder containing the photos in your computer will be reflected in your device - if you added or removed a photo, all changes will be synced as well. To delete synced photos from your device, remove the selection of the folder in Sync Photos From in iTunes in your computer.

Reset iPhone 4S - Which one do you need?

The reset options in iPhone 4S allow you to remove data, reload default factory settings, and restart your iPhone as new.

There are several reasons why you would want to reset your iPhone 4S. For one, it is a basic "fix" to a mystery problem - which is quite true for most gadgets. When phones and other electronic devices start to act up, or when you're not sure what settings you've changed exactly, a reset usually fixes things and puts phone behaviors back to normal. Some reset options also reloads default settings back to your phone. The iPhone 4S has several reset options. This article will discuss all of those, what they are for, and when you might need to do them.

Reset All Settings

This option resets all user-defined configurations in iPhone 4S.
What it does: Reloads all default settings: forgets your Wi-Fi networks, removes changes to Alert Styles in Notifications, Turns off Locations Services for third-party apps, sets Sounds, Brightness, and Wallpaper back to original configurations, removes Battery Usage statistics, turns off Siri, turns off Cellular Data, disables Wi-Fi sync, sets Auto-lock back to 1 minute, removes added International keyboards, and turns off all Accessibility options.
What it doesn't do: This option does NOT delete anything - pictures, contacts, music, apps, nothing. All media and contents will remain after the phone resets.
When do you need it: You might need this option if, after trying so many things, you still can't put something back to its original behavior - Safari won't let you log in, Push Notifications are not working, some Edit or Delete options are missing. This reset option is safe because you will not lose any data, and you can easily reconfigure your iPhone 4S back to your desired settings in less than 3 minutes. Make sure you turn on Cellular Data after reset if you normally use 3G for Internet connection (Settings > General > Network > Cellular Data "ON"). Everything else is easy. Prompts for apps will also start to come up, the way they would when you first used them, so you don't need to go through each changed setting one by one.  This is the safe, easy, one-stop setting to get things running back normally.

Erase All Content and Settings

This option resets your iPhone 4S as a "new" phone. This is the Reset to Factory Settings option.
What it does: Do everything in Reset All Settings (Option 1) and erase everything you have in your iPhone 4S - removes your Apple ID from the phone, all music, photos, and apps will be erased. All traces of user-defined configurations will be removed.
What it doesn't do: Nothing. It puts everything back to factory settings. (New iPhone 4S!)
When do you need it: when you want to delete everything from the phone without going through the contents one by one; when you want to hand down your used iPhone 4S as a gift to somebody else; the last resort for when Reset All Settings (Option 1) won't fix your issue. Note: You will have to reactivate your iPhone 4S if you choose this option. Remember when it was new and you had to put a SIM card to activate it, connect to Wi-Fi or iTunes and all that? You will go through all those steps to make the phone usable again. But when you're done, your iPhone 4S is clean as new. Back Up important data before you proceed.

Reset All Network Settings


This option resets your wireless and cellular network connection settings.
What it does: For home or office wireless networks: This will clear out your Wi-Fi passwords, and the IP Address settings associated to your saved wireless networks. If you have a network administrator who assigned Static IP and DNS addresses to your iPhone 4S, all these will be deleted. Manual HTTP Proxy settings will be removed. For cellular networks: Your VPN Configurations will be removed.
What it doesn't do: Everything outside of Wi-Fi and cellular settings will be left unchanged. No data will be removed.
When do you need it: you can't connect to Wi-Fi and you're sure that you have provided the correct password; you can detect a wireless network but you can't join; when you're experiencing network, or signal problems. If you have special network settings assigned to your phone then you might need to contact your network administrator, or Telco about doing this reset option. If you are your own network administrator, and your Telco does not put special settings on your phone to connect to 3G other than the Cellular Data toggle button, then you can select this option anytime you want.

Reset Keyboard Dictionary

This option removes all words you commonly use in typing but are not in the default dictionary.
What it does: When your language setting is in English and you randomly type foreign words, the keyboard Auto-Correction feature will try to correct your typing. When you keep on using a foreign word it will be saved by the keyboard dictionary and the next time you try to type it, it will be included in the Auto-Correction suggestions. The Reset Keyboard Dictionary removes all non-English words (or misspelled words you insist on using) from the iPhone 4S keyboard dictionary.
What it doesn't do: It doesn't remove your added International keyboards and custom Shortcuts.
When do you need it: If you just want to reset the keyboard dictionary back to its default settings.

Reset Home Screen Layout
