The Apple iCloud was announced on 6th June 2011. The Apple iCloud stores all of the most important things that you carry with you including music, apps, photos, calendars, documents and more. The iCloud stores them in the sky so that you can access them from any device that works with iCloud, so your Mac, iPad, iPhone and iPod.
iCloud manages your content
The iCloud manages all of your data for you so all you have to do is use it. When you want it the iCloud will push data from the sky to your device. You won’t have to duplicate the data that you want on your devices by continuously syncing with your computer, the iCloud will serve your data from one place.
Intelligent iCloud
The iCloud is not like carrying a hard drive around in your pocket, it is much more intelligent than that. The iCloud serves you 24/7 and delivers what you want from it at any time without you doing anything. The iCloud syncs with all of your devices so that you never have to worry about copying data from one device to another. All of your data is the same on each of your devices, you don’t have to do a thing. If you’re on your Mac and you enter a new calendar entry, it will show up on your iPhone that is collecting data from your iCloud.
Shaping the future
Apple are hoping that the iCloud is revolutionary way of delivering and managing content for users. The way we manage the content on our devices will be defined by this technology. From iTunes to Photo streams to Books and more, adding to the iCloud will deliver your data across your device range allowing you to use them easier and have all your data at any one time on any device.
When will the iCloud launch?
The iCloud will be available to US users in Autumn 2011 so around September time. It is not sure when the iCloud will be available to other countries due to copyright talks but other countries will follow suit shortly after the US have the service.
The current breed of iDevices (iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad) share an almost similar on-screen virtual keyboard and therefore, you just have to master a common set of keyboard shortcuts to type a little faster on any these devices.
Let’s quickly recap the 10 most useful typing shortcuts for your iDevice:.
Tip #1: If you want to type special characters with accent marks (like the letter à or è), simply tap and hold the corresponding alphabet key for a while and it will pop-up a list of related accented characters for you to choose from. Don’t release the key before making a selection else the choice will disappear.
Tip #2: If you are typing a line of text in, say, an email message, simple tap the space bar on the keyboard twice and it will automatically insert a dot (or period) followed by a space. The next alphabet that you type will be written in uppercase without you having to press the Shift key.
Tip #3: The iPhone keyboard is pretty smart at adding apostrophes. For instance, if you need to type “doesn’t”, just forget the apostrophe and quickly type “doesnt” – the keyboard will automatically insert the apostrophe at the appropriate place.
Tip #4: The numeric keyboard shows the dollar ($) symbol by default. However, if you need to type the Pound or the Euro currency symbol, just hold the $ key and you’ll see a list of alternative symbols in a pop-up.
Tip #5: There are two ways in which you can insert the degree symbol in your text. Either switch to the numeric keyboard and hold the ‘0’ key or, if you using the regular ABC keyboard, hold the ‘O’ key (that’s the alphabet O).
Tip #6: If you want to change the style of quotation marks or if you need to use a longer dash punctuation mark instead of the default hyphen, hold the corresponding key as show in the above screenshot.
Tip #7: Typing everything in all caps is often considered rude but there can be instances where you may have to type two or more consecutive characters in uppercase (e.g., UNESCO or QWERTY).
In the default setting, you’ll to have to tap the Shift key after typing every single character or you can “Enable Caps Lock” under Settings –> General –> Keyboard and then double-tap the shift key to turn it into a Caps lock key. They will stay blue until you press one of them again.
Tip #8: When you are typing a website URL in the address bar of the Safari browser, there’s a special “.com” key in the keyboard that you can tap to quickly complete the web address.
However, if the website that you are trying to reach doesn’t end with a .com, you can still use that key. Just hold it for a while and it will give you an option to choose other popular TLDs including .edu, .org and .net.
Tip #9: Just like the .com key in Safari lets you type domain URLs quickly, there’s something similar in the Mail program of the iPhone /iPad that will help you complete email addresses quickly.
When typing an email address in the To: or CC /BCC field of the Mail program, press and hold the dot (.) key and you’ll get a list of domain shortcuts in a pop-up to auto-complete the email address (you’ll essentially save 3 key strokes).
Tip #10: This is another useful but undocumented keyboard trick that will help you quickly switch between numerical and alphabetical keyboards (video demo).
Let’s say you are typing a document and need to insert an email address in your text. Now the “@” symbol is not available on the default “ABC” keyboard so you’ll first have to switch to the numeric keyboard (?123), tap “@” and then again switch to ABC mode.
That’s like making three keystrokes for typing one key. To simplify, just press the ?123 key, slide the finger to reach the “@” key and then lift the finger up to release the key.
You can use the trick to type numbers, punctuations marks, currency symbols and all other characters that're found only on the numerical keypad of your iPhone or iPad.
"Keyboard shortcuts" is one of the more notable of the over 200 new features in iOS 5, the latest mobile operating system from Apple that is available for download now. These keyboard shortcuts work kind of like an intentional auto-correct: You can designate certain abbreviations and acronyms for "text expansion"; when you type these abbreviations into an email, text message or note, they automatically lengthen into the longer, designated phrase.
So, for example, one keyboard shortcut that comes preloaded with iOS 5 is "omw" for "On my way!" If you type "omw" into any field that accepts text on the iPhone, iPad or iPad Touch, it automatically "corrects" to "On my way!" after you press the space bar:
Very easy and intuitive.
USING KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS
Keyboard shortcuts can be incredibly useful: I've set up "gml" as a shortcut for my long Gmail address, "huffml" as a shortcut for my even longer HuffPost email address, "bti10" for "Be there in 10 minutes" and, of course, "hpt" for "http://www.huffingtonpost.com/tech" for use in my web browser. Lifehacker has also compiled a good list of suggested keyboard shortcuts that can help you save time and some pain in your fingers, and keyboard shortcuts are totally customizable to expand into whatever phrases you want them to.
To enable these keyboard shortcuts and get to time-saving:
1. Click on your "Settings" icon. 2. Click on "General." 3. Click "Keyboard." 4. At the bottom of the "Keyboard" section, click "Add New Shortcut..." 5. Type the shortcut abbreviation in the "Shortcut" field, and what you want the shortcut to expand to in the "Phrase" field. 6. Click "Save."
Here's the setup and utility of keyboard shortcuts in one screen. The "Add New Shortcut..." setup screen on the left, and what a created keyboard shortcut looks like in action is on the right:
Hi All! I hope you enjoyed the first class. Below I have posted a video and written instructions on how to upgrade to iOS 5. Watch the video, read the instructions, and please contact me if you have any questions.
Before next class, I would like you to update to iOS 5 so you can take advantage of all the new features iOS 5 has to offer.
Important to Remember:
You have installed the latest version of iTunes. Click here to access the download page.
Apple’s newest mobile operating system, iOS 5 is available for download today. iOS 5 brings a collection of new features to old iPhones, iPod Touches and iPads.
There are over 200 new iOS 5 features, which will change the way you use your iOS device. If you have an old iPhone, iOS 5 will help you get ready to upgrade to an iPhone 4S, or it will help you get another year of use out of an old phone.
Apple has made the upgrade process pretty straightforward. If you haven’t already done so, you should be sure toprepare your iPhone for iOS 5.
Once you start the iOS 5 upgrade process, you shouldn’t stop. Typically upgrading right when the software is available is slower due to a large number of people updating. If you are updating your iPhone, be sure you can be without it for the duration of the upgrade.
iOS 5 is a free upgrade, and works on the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPod Touch 3rd generation, iPod Touch 4th generation, iPad and iPad 2.
iTunes 10.5 - The first thing you need to do is update iTunes. You can do this by choosing Check for Updates in the app, or downloading iTunes 10.5 directly from Apple.
Follow the prompts to update iTunes to the latest version. This should take 5-10 minutes once the file is downloaded.
Backup – Backup your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad to your computer. To do this, plug in with a USB cable and allow the device to backup. If it does not automatically backup, you can right click on the device name in the left side of iTunes and choose backup. If moving to a new computer, be sure to transfer purchases to the computer for easy syncing.
How to Update to iOS 5
Now that you are ready, here’s how to upgrade to iOS 5.
1. Click on your device’s name in the iTunes sidebar.
2. This will open up Settings in the right hand area as shown below.
Click Check for Update to Upgrade to iOS 5.
3. Click on the Check for Update button in the middle of your screen.
4. iTunes will now download and upgrade your iPhone to iOS 5. This could take some time. Do not disconnect from your computer or quit iTunes until the iOS 5 upgrade is done.
5. When the update completes your device will restart and you will be prompted to sign in with your Apple ID. You can sync to iTunes to bring back your apps and data if need be.
6. Do not remove your device until your apps have synced back, otherwise you will have to recover lost apps, which is painful.
