How to get FREE iDevice Apps

Today I will be showing you a LEGAL & FREE way to download paid Apps for free.

Requirements: Anyone with a iTunes account that has paid Apps

So first you want to get someone with paid apps that you want. Ask friends and relatives, they will most likely have a paid app or two.

Tell them to login with their iTunes Account on your iDevice

Afterwards, download the Apps that you want that he/she paid for

After it's done downloading, log out of your friend's or relative's  Account and you're done!

Easy and Simple!


TIPS & TRICKS

1. This can PROBABLY work for other things such as Music from the iTunes Store, I haven't tried it but you should try it

2. I don't think you can redownload the Apps if you delete them and try to download it from your account 

3. For those who doesn't think this works, I can tell you guys right now that I have used this method to download Asphalt 8 on my iPhone

How To Organize Your MP3 Files

This Tutorial is for everyone who'd rather have their songs organized, rather than having a bunch of Files in 1 folder with difficulty of locating a specific song.


The 1st thing you want to do is go to your Browser (any is fine)

Then you wanna go ahead and go to your search engine and type "MP3tag"

There should be a result on the page with this website: www.mp3tag.de/en/  | Click that link.

Now, navigate to the Download Page. Alternatively, you can click this Link here: http://www.mp3tag.de/en/download.html (This program is only compatible with Windows OS, so if you have something different, you should try searching up a MP3 Editor for your OS)

Now download the setup by clicking "mp3tagv258setup.exe"

After it is finished downloading, install the Program. (The type of installation you want to choose is up to you)

Once it is done installing, open it from the Start Menu or the Desktop.

Now afterwards, click on "File", then click "Add Directory..."

Locate the folder, where all of your MP3 Files are located, and click "Select Folder"

If done properly, you should see all your MP3 Files in a list on the Program.

Click on a MP3, and from there you can edit the Title, Artist, Album, Year, Track, Genre, Etc...

After you're done editing the Song Information, click "File" and click "Save Tag", then move on to the next song.

Lastly, If you have a group of Songs that came from an Album, create a Folder and rename it to the Album's name, then transfer all of the songs that is included in the Album to that specified Folder.

For those having trouble, I will give an example, take a look at this image here: http://i.imgur.com/tK8nZy9.png

As you can see, all of these songs are from the "Dreamchasers 3" Album by Meek Mill, so what I will do is, create a Folder named "Meek Mill - Dreamchasers 3". Then I will transfer all of the songs I have from that Album, to that Folder.

Hope this Tutorial relieved everybody's stress in terms of having proper and organized MP3 Files!



TIPS & TRICKS -

1. If you want to add a cover to your File, you can google search the Album Cover, save it, and right click the white square space in the bottom left of the program, right click it, and click "Add Cover", then locate where you saved the Cover Photo, and select it, once you are done, click "File" and click "Save Tag" once again. (I recommend a Dimension of 500 x 500 or bigger, if you want to use an Album or Song Cover)

2. This is very beneficial if you use iTunes, as it detects the File Names and Albums and organizes it for you based on the information on the MP3.

3. For ease of use, you can right click a MP3 File, and click "Mp3tag" from there. This will open the Program and load the song(s) you highlighted.

How to Clean & Speed up your PC (Windows)

Do you guys have a Computer you wish to clean? And when I mean clean I mean get rid of all the unnecessary files and speed it up? Have no fear, this Tutorial allows you to do that if followed properly.

I will provide you a straight out Method in completely cleaning up your Computer, however this does require a  Windows OS Installation Disc (i.g; Windows 7 Ultimate). Anyways, let's get started!


DISC METHOD - (Requires a USB Flash Drive or a Google Drive AND the Serial Key for your Windows Installation Disc)

1. Assuming you have a Google Drive and/or a USB Flash Drive, take all of your PERSONAL files and anything important that you need and transfer it on the Drive or the Account.(This will take a while depending on how many Personal files you plan on transferring)

2. Create a Text Document (.txt) and make a list of all of the PROGRAMS you use on a daily basis, or programs you just use in general. Then transfer it on your USB/Google Drive

3. If this is a Family Computer or if more than 1 person uses this Computer, make sure they back up any of their files if they have any they still need and want

4. Insert your Windows OS Disc and wait at least 20 seconds. 

5. Double check your Computer to make sure you have everything you need, because after this process, your whole COMPUTER hard drive will be formatted and you will have a fresh clean PC to start with. 

6. Turn off your Computer and turn it on again. In the loading screen, some people's OS Disc boots up right away, some need to change the boot start up settings. If the Disc doesn't boot up at start up, restart your computer, turn it back on, and keep pressing F8 or F2 (located on the top of your keyboard) and you SHOULD be able to go to the start up settings, select your CD Drive to boot first, and your Windows Installation Disc should boot up. 

7. Now I can show you why you needed to Boot from the Start up. When you're at the installation screen, keep choosing your preferred settings, then when you get to the part where you choose which Drive to install the OS on, there should be a button called "Advanced Settings" or anything of that sort, then a bunch of other options are now introduced to you, what you wanna do now is select your main Hard Drive (Should be the "Primary" one) and click "format" on the bottom. 

8. Afterwards, install the OS on the Hard Drive and just wait until the setup is done. 

9. After the setup is done, your computer won't look the same since this is a fresh install, so you will have to update all of your drivers in order to fix that issue, 

10. Once all of your drivers are updated and your Computer is up-to date. what you need to do now is get an Anti-Virus, download 1, if you cannot pay for one, get a Free Trial (I recommend BitDefender)

11. Once that is installed, insert your USB or log in to your Google Drive, and take the list of programs you made, and download and install all of the programs you still want. 

12. Make a new Folder called "Backup Files" in the Document Folder, and take all of the files in your USB or Google Drive and put all of them inside your newly created Folder.

13. Download and Install a Program called "CCleaner" (Google it)

14. Make sure everything is organized, now eject your Windows OS Installation Disc and put it back in the box of course.

15. Do a FULL Scan with your Anti-Virus to make sure that everything you downloaded and installed is clean and virus-free.

16. Open "CCleaner" and click "Run Cleaner". The list on the left side can be edited so you can choose what the program cleans up and what it doesn't clean up.

17. Grab a cup of your favorite beverage and toast to a FULLY cleaned PC. 


If you followed my instructions properly, you should have cleaned up your PC and gained a little or a lot of speed on your computer depending on how big of a mess you had on it before you did this.

Lastly, here are a few tips and problems answered for those having trouble: 

1. If the Windows Installation Disc keeps booting up no matter how many times you reboot, reboot your computer, and keep pressing F8 or F2 (whichever worked the last time), and change the boot up settings back to normal, THEN you can eject the disc. 

2. If you do not have a USB Flash Drive, just use Google Drive (Should be available to you if you have a Gmail account), use this link - https://drive.google.com/

3. If you don't wanna do a full Clean up and just start new, without restarting your computer or anything like that, insert the Installation Disc, and you should be able to start the Installation from your computer.

4, If you have a lot of music, just create a list of Albums you have, and download them back later, this is not needed if you have a USB Drive with the amount of space needed. 

5. If you have files that can't get uploaded to Google Drive nor can be placed in your USB, upload it to a file hosting site, and create a text document with the links of the files so you can download them later. (I recommend you upload the files to MediaFire [Google it] and put a password on the files you upload so no 1 can download them or you can just set the files to Private)

6. If you really want a like-new PC, after using this Tutorial, clean the physical part and wipe out all the dirt and dust off your computer. 


If you followed this Tutorial properly, you should have a (Almost) brand new PC ready to use and it should be faster than before. If you have any problems, comment on this page and I will get back to you soon!
