Do you have a .wps file that you can’t open? Not sure which application can open it? Both Mac and PC have free software programs that you can download and install so you can open a .wps file and save it as a Word file, or as whatever type of file you choose.

Here they are:

PC
OpenOffice

Mac
NeoOffice

Simply do this:

1. Go to FILE>OPEN
2. Make sure it says “all files” under “File Type”
3. Navigate to where the .wps file that you want to open is located on your computer
4. Open it

The formatting may be off, which is expected, but at least you have the content. All you have to do is reformat it a little either in that application, or copy and paste it into Word or any other program, and you are good to go!

1. Did you upgrade an app that is part of a suite on the Mac App Store? Still launching the older version? Here is the fix. I recently bought Pages ’09 (for only $19.99, btw) for...

I recently bought Pages ’09 (for only $19.99, btw) for a client via the Mac App Store on my Mac, because you need at least Mac OS X 10.6 to get the Mac App Store on your computer, which he did not have. And my client wanted to buy Pages separately. He did not want to buy the whole iWord suite. He also didn’t feel like leaving the house. So logged onto the Mac App Store, bought it, and downloaded it thinking I could just take the installation file, copy it onto a USB flash drive, and then install it on his computer.

However, that’s not how it went down. I ended up having to keep it, because at the time, it looked like when you buy an app from the Mac App Store, you don’t buy the installation file, you buy the installation of the program on the Mac that you are using to buy the app, because right after it downloaded, it installed without asking me. And nowhere on my Mac was there an installation file for it.

However, I just found out yesterday that if you log into your account on the Mac App Store on another Mac of yours, you can download and install an app that you have already purchased and installed on the Mac that you used to buy it. Very cool of Apple to do that.

Anyway, back to issue at hand. So what happened was I already had Pages ’08 on my Mac. So I figured that when I downloaded and installed Pages ’09, it would simply take the place of the older version. NOT SO. Pages ’08 and Pages ’09 can co-exist on the same Mac, meaning they can both be installed on the same Mac and each be fully functional without any issues. I did not know this. So when I launched Pages from my Dock (the launch pad on the bottom of the screen of every Mac where you launch apps), it would launch Pages ’08.

I didn’t know why, so I called Apple Care (800.APL.CARE) and they told me that when you buy an app that is part of a suite (e.g. the iWork suite is made up of the following apps: Pages, Numbers, and Keynote), it does not put it in the folder for that suite. It simply installs it as a standalone app and lists it with all of the other apps in the Applications folder, NOT in the suite folder.

To give you a visual, here is a screenshot of how the iWork ’08 suite is listed in the Applications folder when it is installed as a suite from a disk:

You see how Pages is INSIDE the iWork ’08 folder?

Now here is a screenshot of how Pages ’09 is listed in the Applications folder on your Mac when you buy it from the Mac App Store and download & install it:

As you can see, this time Pages is listed with all of the other apps. It’s not in the iWork folder. This proves that Pages ’08 and Pages ’09 can co-exist on the same computer, because they are not located in the same folder. So, in order to launch Pages ’09, I either have to go into the Applications folder, which is not necessary, or I can just drag the icon for Pages ’09 from the Applications folder down to my Dock, which is exactly what I did.

And with regard to the icon for Pages ’08 that is already on my Dock, I can either click on it, drag it up, and let it go on the desktop so it will disappear in a puff of smoke, and I will just have one icon for Pages in my dock, or I can just leave both of them in the Dock and remember which one is which, or put them in different locations on my Dock.

So if you ever buy an app separately on the Mac App Store that is part of a Mac suite like iWork or iLife, then remember to go into the Applications folder, click on the icon for the newly installed app, which will be listed with all of the other apps, and drag it down to your Dock.

Enjoy!

My jailbroken and unlocked iPhone 3GS suddenly started acting weird yesterday. I thought my iOS got corrupted somehow, or it was time for me to upgrade to the latest iOS (currently running 4.0.1; been too busy to upgrade). But I did some research and found that one of the causes was a bad charger. Now a charger can be bad a few ways:

1. It can be bad out of the box
2. It can say that it was made for the iPhone, but it is not a quality charger
3. It can go bad after a couple months of use
4. It can be a setup that does not work well, even though you think it would (this was the cause of my problem)

The setup that I had was a genuine iPhone home charger plugged into a power inverter. If you’re not sure what a power inverter is, it’s a device that plugs into the cigarette lighter in your car and allows you to plug regular plugs that go into the wall socket in your home into it. I’ve used that setup in the past and had no issues. But for whatever reason, it started to give me issues. It would cause my iPhone to act really crazy. Here are some of the things that it did:

• It would act really jumpy when it was plugged in (it would not be a smooth scroll)
• It would act jumpy after it had been plugged in, and was no longer plugged in
• When I touched the screen and selected something, it would randomly select something else
• When I started typing, the cursor would jump to another field in the screen or another section of the text and continue typing there

Once I restarted the phone a couple of times and charged it with a genuine charger, it started working normally again.

Enjoy!

There was a PDF exploit in Safari in iOS 4 on the iPhone, which is how comex and other members of the iPhone Dev Team were able to jailbreak it. But Apple quickly found out about it, and released a patch for it. However, this patch (iOS 4.0.2 or iOS 4.1) will cause you to lose your jailbreak and your unlock, possibly forever! So don’t do it.

Instead, do this:

Click here to view the embedded video.

In the video, I use an app called Rock Your Phone. You can download that app for free via Cydia. Cydia is an install app that automatically gets installed as an app on your iPhone when you jailbreak it. Just open Cydia, do a search for Rock Your Phone, and then install it. Then watch my video above to see how to patch the Safari PDF exploit.

NOTE: Rock Your Phone states the following on their page that gives download and installation instructions:

All users should use the newest jailbreak from jailbreakme.com which was released on August 1st, 2010 to install RockApp on your iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch.

So if you did not jailbreak your phone via jailbreakme.com, then I’m not sure if it will work. But unless you have iOS 4.0.1 on your phone already, and you just have not had a chance to jailbreak your phone, then you are out of luck with regard to jailbreaking your iPhone, as iOS 4.0.1 is no longer available via iTunes. iOS 4.0.1 is the most recent version of iOS that can be jailbroken. The version of iOS on iTunes now is iOS 4.1, which does not have a jailbreak yet. However, I’m sure the Dev Team is hard at work cracking the code for iOS 4.1.

Sign up for my VIP list in the upper left section of this blog so you will get first notice of when the jailbreak for iOS 4.1 is available!

In case you haven’t heard, Apple had an event a couple of days ago on September 1st where Steve Jobs disclosed all of their new products. You can watch the whole event here.

Here is the short version of Steve Jobs’s presentation…

iTunes 10 is now out, and it’s pretty cool. If you have a Mac, click on the Apple menu in the upper left corner of your screen and select “Software Update” to get it. For PC users, you should be prompted to
update iTunes if you have the Apple software update program installed. If not, just go to here and download it.

In addition to iTunes 10 coming out, Apple announced that it will be releasing a brand new version of the iPod Touch, iPod Shuffle, and iPod Nano. Apple will also be releasing a new version of iOS 4 (version 4.1; the operating system that runs the iPod Touch, iPad, and iPhone), which will be available as a free download from iTunes next week. And they will be releasing a brand new Apple TV, which will be 1/4 the size of its predecessor! Amazing.

Here is a brief rundown of what’s new:

iOS 4.1 (operating system for iPod Touch, iPad, and iPhone)

• Bugs have been fixed (Proximity, Bluetooth, iPhone 3G)

  to see which artists your favorite artists like. You can get as
  private and as public as you want with regards to who can follow
  you and what you share. Starts with an immediate customer base of
  160 million people. Pretty cool service.
• TV Show Rentals – you can now rent TV shows in HD commercial free for
  99 cents

  your entire house with AirPlay-enabled speakers. You can even

Have you ever been in the situation where you want to send someone a text message, but don’t have a cell phone on hand? Well here’s how to do it, easily:

The first way to send a text message to a cell phone from your computer is go the carrier’s website and look for a tool that most carriers have on their website that allows you to send a text message to one of their subscribers.

If you are not sure what carrier the number you want to text to is on, then just to here and enter it:

https://www.wirelessamberalerts.org/index.jsp

You do not need to sign up for the alerts to get the carrier. After you first submit the number, it will ask you to agree to their TOA. On that same page, it will tell you what carrier that phone number is on.

The second way, which is easier and quicker, is to simply send them an email. All you have to do is look at the list below of 106 providers, delete the user name of the email address that corresponds with the carrier that the person who you are sending a text message to has, and replace it with their phone number.

So, for example, if I wanted to send a friend a text message from my computer, and my friend has Verizon as their carrier, then I would do this:

Friend’s cell number who has Verizon as their carrier: (555) 123-1212
Default Verizon Email for texting to Verizon numbers: number@vtext.com
Email address that I’ll use to send a text message to my friend: 5551231212@vtext.com

Take note of the amount of characters you are able to put in your text message. The amount of characters allowed by each carrier is noted in the list below. If you don’t want to count them yourself, then copy and paste what you want to write into a blank MS Word document, and then go to TOOLS>WORD COUNT. The number that you want to look at is the one that is labeled, “characters with spaces”.

Do you have a Windows 7 PC that asks for a user name and password when you try to connect to your wireless network? I was having the same issue with a friend’s Windows 7 laptop. I did some searching and finally found the answer.

The main problem is that Windows 7 does not really support WEP encryption. It prefers WPA. So if you want a quick fix, and you have access to the router’s settings, then just change the encryption type for the wireless network to WPA.

However, if you really want to stick with WEP, here is the workaround:

1. Click on START (the multi-colored ball in the bottom left corner of your screen
2. Click on CONTROL PANEL on the right
3. Click on NETWORK AND INTERNET
4. Click on NETWORK AND SHARING CENTER
5. Under CHANGE YOUR NETWORK SETTINGS, click on SET UP A NEW CONNECTION OR NETWORK
6. Select MANUALLY CONNECT TO A WIRELESS NETWORK and click the NEXT button below
7. Type in the name of your network in NETWORK NAME exactly as it was entered into the router
8. Set the SECURITY TYPE to WEP
9. ENCRYPTION TYPE should automatically change to WEP and should be grayed out so you can’t change it
10. Type your network password/key into the SECURITY KEY field
11. Check the box next to START THIS CONNECTION AUTOMATICALLY, if you want it to and if it is not yet checked
12. Check the box next to CONNECT EVEN IF THE NETWORK IS NOT BROADCASTING if you have the SSID Broadcasting feature disabled on your router (meaning you set it so that your network name won’t show up when someone searches for the available wireless networks in the area)
13. Click NEXT
14. Click CLOSE
15. Then, if you are not already connected and you are broadcasting your SSID, click on the bars in the bottom right corner of your screen where the time is where you normally connect to a wireless network, and select your network
16. Click CONNECT
17. You should be good to go!

Is your keyboard not typing the keys that you are hitting, and some keys do type something but the type numbers and symbols from a calculator (namely the U,I,O,P,:,L,K,J,M,< ,>./ keys?)

There is a simple fix for this…

It simply means that your “num lock” is on. Hit your F6 key on your Macbook (it’s the key in the top row of your keyboard in the middle), and you should be good to go! If your keyboard on your Macbook is just not typing anything, then take it into the Apple Store, as it is most likely a hardware problem.

I just had this happen to me. I was in the gym, and for some reason, the volume all of sudden went down to zero. I tried different apps, but no matter what I did, when I ramped up the volume, it just went right back to zero.

It was an easy fix…


All I had to do was to perform a soft reset and I was good to go. To perform a soft reset, all you have to do is hold down the home button (the only button on the face of the iPhone) as you start up the iPhone. Once you see the apple logo, you can let go. Gotta love how the iPhone is so easy to fix!

I just found out how to make any self-hosted WordPress blog iPhone compatible. Now of course, you can view any website on the internet, but I’m talking about a format that is especially made for the iPhone, so that your blog is very easy to navigate when using the iPhone, and you don’t have to zoom in, zoom out, etc.

Here’s how to do it:

If you have a recent version of WordPress…

1. Log into your Admin area
2. Click on “Plugins” on the left
3. At the top of the page, click on the “Add new” button next to “Manage Plugins”
4. In the search field, type in “WPTouch iPhone Theme” and click the “Search Plugins” button
5. In the search results, click on the “Install” text link all the way to the right in the row for the “WPTouch iPhone Theme” plugin
6. After it is installed, click “Activate”. If you don’t see the link to activate it, then click on “Plugins” on the left, scroll down the Plugins page, and click on the “Activate” text link next to the listing for the “WPTouch iPhone Theme” plugin
7. Done!
