The social network has announced that it has unveiled an iOS app, which would be compatible with both the latest versions of the iPhone and the Apple tablet, the new iPad.
Pinterest Looks Beautiful on iPad
The Pinterest website can be viewed on the iPad clearly, as it has a full layout, making it easier for the user to view multiple pins simultaneously. The users can navigate to the different categories of the website, by a simple swipe on the screen. They can also use the integrated browser to view sites, which is the pin or the image’s source.
The Pinterest experience on the iPad is no different from viewing it on a regular computer, as the mobile app has several key features of Pinterest, thereby replicating the user’s experience on a bigger screen (but it’s more fun!). Users can like, share, repin, and even comment on the images through this mobile app. No better time to get your broken iPad fixed from iFixYouri so you can enjoy this fantastic social media app in all its glory!

Since Apple’s introduction of the iPad, the world as a whole has become a closer knit community. This wondrous device has seemingly opened up the imaginations of its users so much that now the consumer seems to be inspiring the inventor.
The iPad has quickly become one of those frequently seen tools that seamlessly camouflages itself within any and all environments. Whether it be a restaurant menu or remote control, Apple has certainly struck a home run in regards to this device. And, as more and more Apps are developed, the possibilities will grow as well.
It is in celebration of this innovative push forward that I present some of the cooler ways the iPad has been used:
Paying A Little Homage
Sometimes it’s simply best to tip your hat to technology past. This clever melding of instruments serves as a great illustrator of just how far technology has come.
Magic In the Machine
It was inevitable that such a tool would eventually find itself in the realm of slight of hand. If you thought card tricks were mind blowing, you may want to brace yourself.
Hologram Animation
What more can possibly be said? This is the ideal example of taking an idea such as the iPad and surpassing expectations.
The greatest feature of the iPad is the fact that it has no set designation as far as usability, making its possibilities endless. However, like all things and as great as the product may be, it does not mean its not susceptible to damage. Luckily there are professional iPad repair specialists like iFixYouri who are available to restore one’s touch screen companion in case anything happened to go wrong.
The Apple iPad is the result of years of experimenting with touch screen technology and smaller being better. Apple is now poised to introduce a device even smaller and, hopefully, even better: the iPad Mini. This is the newest version of the iconic Apple tablet device.
What is the iPad Mini?
The iPad mini is a smaller, thinner and lighter device designed for the on-the-go businessperson and people who need a lightweight internet device that can do everything the iPad can do. The concept has been around for some time and it appears that Apple has resolved issues with screen resolutions and touchability.
The iPad Nano, as it has also been called, is Apple’s answer to the smaller table devices that have been marketed by Amazon in the form of the Kindle and Google with its Nexus Tablet. The Nano delivers all the quality of Apple with numerous available apps in a smaller, lighter and narrower package.
The Mini Timeline
Although no specific launch date has been given for the miniature version of the iPad it is assumed that production has begun at the suppliers in China (where the leaked design photos came from). A release date in late 2012 is not out of the question! Apple, as always, is keeping the specifics secret. Check out some of the rumors here.
The Specifics
Touch Screen capabilities (of course!)
Lower pricing than the iPad
Slim and trim case with a high resolution screen
Screen size less than 8 inches
Able to utilize all Apple iPad apps
8 GB of internal storage
Whether the iPad mini’s electronics are wildly different or very similar to the iPad, one thing is for sure: the device will be susceptible to the same damage. When you do get your newest member of the iPad family, and it gets dropped in water or stops working for any reason, you can trust that iFixYouri will be able to repair your iPad mini.
You probably know how to print at home using a wired printer, but what if you are out and about and want to print something off from one of your computerized devices? Thanks to modern day technology and a recent software upgrade from Apple, you can now print documents and photographs off from pretty much any device (from iPad to iPhone), as long as you go about it the right way.
The Basics
The first step is to check your printer and see that it is AirPrint compatible. Regardless of what Apple device you are dealing with, you will need to use this software. Either way, the setup process is fairly simple and once you are done that, you can simply connect your device and printer to the same Wi-Fi network and get started with printing.
The Alternative
You should see a connection established between the devices in just a matter of seconds, but if you do have problems you can always turn to the Fingerprint software. Although not as reliable as the previous option, it does get the job done.
AirPrint Apps
There are also a number of AirPrint-enabled apps you can take advantage of for printing purposes. From instapaper, Evernote and Safari to iWork and Google Maps, if you want to print any information from any of these apps, you can do so quickly and easily.
The key things to remember are:
AirPrint best printing software
Fingerprint is the other option
Stick with AirPrint-enabled apps — usually iWork or Google maps
The process is very simple and once you try it a few times for yourself and get more familiar with it, it becomes easy to remember. It can be a bit complex when you first get started, but you should not have any issues with it. If your device isn’t running smoothly, it will be an additional burden to getting the printing to work. Get in touch with iFixYouri to first ensure that your device is behaving at its potential.
Understanding this process could be very helpful in the future, if you happen to be away from your desktop computer and need to print things off. You never know when you’ll have a printing emergency!

Now that the dust has mostly settled in the legal battle between Apple and Samsung, let’s explore one of the issues of copyright regarding the Samsung Galaxy Tab that was at the center of the debate. Both the mobile phone giants tried their best to win this legal battle through depositions and court witnesses, which proved to be a difficult dilemma for Samsung.
Galaxy Tab and iPad Design Issues
Designer Testimony
According to Jin Soo Kim, the industrial designer who worked on the design of Galaxy Tab 10.1, the work for the Samsung tablet was started in October, 2009. He also presented an email dated 2006, which clearly shows that the work on the Tab was underway in 2006.
This was much before the scheduled unveiling of iPad 1 and iPad 2, which took place in January 2010 and 2011 respectively. Kim further added to his testimony that the major goal of Samsung was to get the largest screen on a fairly smaller piece of hardware.
Total Denial of Guilt
Kim acknowledged the fact that there were certain amendments and design changes done to the Galaxy tablet. He also clarified that it was done only keeping competitive factors in mind, while there were no intentions to replicate the iPad’s design. Kim denied allegations that he attempted to copy the design of Apple products at any point in time during the designing process of the Galaxy Tab.
Kim also did not acknowledge rumors claiming that Google had sent an email to Samsung asking the phone manufacturer to change its designs of the Galaxy phone series. The email from Google actually referred to the design issues relating to the original Galaxy Tab, which apparently never made it to the consumer market.
The Outcome
In the end, Judge Lucy Koh handed Applean injunction against Samsung selling their Galaxy Tab 10.1 in the US, agreeing that the device infringes on several of Apple’s iPad patents.
Since you won’t be able to buy a new one anytime soon, if you already own the Galaxy Tab and need repairs, contact iFixYouri for experienced technicians.
Barely weeks after the Apple co-founder’s home was broken into and valuables were taken back in July, evidence emerged pointing to one Kariem McFarlin. Police said the 35-year-old resident of Alameda stole items including a silver-colored iPad device that belonged to Steve Jobs. The mobile device was allegedly robbed from his home situated along Waverley Street.
Given to Kenny the Clown
The police said that Mr. McFarlin gave the iPad to his long-time friend, a 47-year-old man known as Kenny the Clown (whose real name is Kenneth Kahn). The professional clown recounts how his friend walked up to him and handed him the silver-colored iPad. Kahn was unaware that the iPad belonged to Steve Jobs until four days later when the police came asking for the device.
Kahn, a well-known street performer, had a brief opportunity to use the stolen iPad for his clown routine.
The Court Hearing
Although Kahn admits that his friend is not “any type of menace”, records held in the courts show McFarlin has pleaded guilty to different offenses in the past. The police have added that the offender has confessed to his crimes and will require a sum of $500,000 to bail himself out.
The Concerned Parties
With a case like this that involves one of Apple’s greatest inventors, Steve Jobs, one would expect both the family and his Apple counterparts to comment on the incident. But to date, none of them have come forward to issue a statement on the matter.
