The nature of smartphones and the apps available for them make this a problem that you can do something about. Both iPhones and Android Phones have apps in their stores that can cut your risk and give you a little piece of mind. Many of these apps are from major internet security companies. They offer both free and paid versions of their smartphones apps. This is one app that you should really look at paying for; you get additional security features that make the money paid worthwhile. Their paid versions are usually less than $20 per year. Some internet security companies will give you their paid version for free if you buy their desktop security software.

iOS 6 is considered as one of the best operating systems for some good reasons. Making a place for oneself in such a competitive market is not a cake walk. Let's have a glance at the most exciting features of iOS 6.


Share Photo Stream

One of the most admired features in iOS 6 is the shared photo streams, which allow users to share sets of photos with friends through iCloud. The procedure is quite simple. Users just have to select the photos to be shared, tap the share button and select the recipients. The iOS 6 will take care of the rest. The albums of Shared Photo Streams can throw photos automatically to other iOS 6 devices. Those albums can also be viewed on Apple TV or the internet. Also the users are allowed to comment on any individual photo shared via this feature.

Facebook

The integration of Facebook throughout the entire iOS has made sharing easier than ever. You can share photos to Facebook directly from your camera or photos. Also you are allowed to post your location just from the map. Birthdays and events will be showing right in the calendar and the contact details of your Facebook friends will be integrated into your phonebook.

Passbook

This new app from Apple is an easy way to store all your passes in just one place. You can keep your tickets, boarding passes, movie tickets, store card apps like Starbucks etc. and can organize them conveniently. And when you reach the location where you require any of the stored passes, iOS can sense and provide the pass through a pop up on your locked screen. The best thing is that the cards are live, i.e. if your gate changes when you are at the airport, the passbook updates according to the change automatically.

Maps

This version of iOS features a new Maps app which is integrated with vector-based map elements. It makes the graphics and text smooth. It also makes it easy to pan, tilt and zoom.

It provides real time traffic updates which make you determine the duration of your travel and also suggest you alternate routes which can save your time.

It can now provide score of a game, player stats, restaurant info, movie info etc. Besides, users can also make Siri launch apps.

These magnificent features of iOS 6 are making the whole world crazy about it and it's a very good opportunity for various businesses to launch iOS apps. iOS application development pays very good returns. It's a very good way to interact with clients. But for good results it's imperative for business owners to select a perfect iOS app development company.

You've spent hours working on a report, and then your Word document just disappeared from the screen! Your computer crashed, some arcane error forced Word to close, or you've just unwittingly closed a document before clicking a save button.

The lesson to save early and often is learned the hard way, but what now?

Don't despair yet! There are some things to try before accepting the data loss. In most cases, the lost document can be fully or partially recovered.

If you're lucky, Windows may have automatically saved your file. When you start Word program the next time, see if there are any recovered documents, so called AutoRecovery files, in the Document Recovery pane.


AutoRecovery is a feature that performs an emergency backup of open documents when an error occurs. By default, AutoRecovery is set to ten minutes: that means that Word will automatically save a backup of your open document every ten minutes. You can change that interval by going to File - Options - Save. You can also select the option to keep the last saved autoversion if you close without saving.

Even when the AutoRecovery option was not selected, you could try to force Word to recover the document. Click Open, select the document, click the down arrow and then click Open and Repair. If the document was closed normally, AutoRecovery will not kick in, and no auto recovery files will be saved.

You may be able to bring back the document draft. It is a little known fact that the drafts in all applications within MS Office are saved automatically. After the crash, when opening a new Word document, go to File - Info - Manage versions. If there are previous versions of the file you've lost, you will be able to recover it by clicking the dropdown menu and selecting the option Recover Unsaved Documents. The program will open the location where you can browse recent copies of unsaved files. Word saves copies of unsaved documents for four days before the program deletes them.

To recover your document, select the draft, open it as a new document in the Word and this time save it properly. If a document is corrupted, you can try to open it with the Open and Repair option.

If neither of these recovery method worked for you, try searching for your lost document in the temporary files.

Microsoft doesn't provide a way to recover files that have been emptied from the Recycle bin. In those cases, you will have to use third-party tools to recover deleted documents.

Sometimes, none of these methods work. You will need a data recovery software that offers a word recovery option.

Tablets and smartphones have simplified our lives to a great extent. You can access the internet, click photographs, watch movies, listen to music and also complete last minute school work irrespective of the time of the day or place. You only require the right app. However, despite this, there have been complaints. The most common one with regard to Apple devices has been the inability to print documents from an iPad because neither the iPad nor the iPhone has USB connections. Thus, it was difficult to transfer documents directly from the iPad to a printer.


Apple was quick to realize this major design flaw and resolved it in the later versions of its operating system. iPads powered by the latest version of iOS can use the AirPrint technology to print documents directly from an iPad by enabling a transfer to an AirPrint-compatible printer.

The AirPrint feature was one of the major upgrades that shipped with the iOS 4.2 version. This Apple feature prints via Wi-Fi. It was developed in partnership by Apple Inc and HP. For this reason, most of the HP laser models are compatible with this printing technology. This is a wireless system. You do not have install any drivers or download any software. Another important advantage of this system is you can continue using the iPad to click pictures, surf the internet, play games and watch videos while it continues printing in the background.

How to print from iPad using AirPrint?

The procedure is easy. We have listed the steps below.

• The first step involves connecting a wireless printer compatible with Air-print technology to your Wi-Fi network. Not all printers, especially the old models, are compatible with this printing technology. HP has a range of AirPrint-enabled printers. The procedure of setting up the entire system varies depending on the make and the model. You should read the instruction manual provided or the manufacturer's website for instructions.
• Once the setup is complete, turn on the printer. Wait for the printer to detect and connect to the Wi-Fi network. On most models a small light blinks as soon as the printer establishes connectivity with the Wi-Fi network.
• An "Action" button will be displayed on your iPad. Click this button.
• After this, tap the button that reads "Print".
• When prompted, select the "Select Printer" option. Select the printer you are using.
• A dialogue box will open up on your screen. Make the necessary changes such as the pages to be printed, double-side printing and number of copies. When you're done, hit the print option.

The AirPrint technology is one of the methods to print documents from your iPad. The use of third party applications is an alternate method. They can be downloaded for free or purchased at the Apple Store.

So now, you no longer have to wonder how to print from an iPad. AirPrint and various other third party applications help print pages directly without having to first transferring them to other devices.
