How to Give iBooks


Tap the “iBooks” icon on your iOS device followed by “Store” to go to Apple’s e-book marketplace of more than two million iBooks.
Type the name of the book you want to send as a gift into the search box. Select the title from the search results.
Tap on the e-book’s icon to reveal its product detail. The iBook’s Price button displays the amount that will be billed to your iTunes Store account after you gift the book.
Touch the iBook’s “Share” button. It’s that small box-with-up-arrow graphic.
Choose “Gift.” If prompted to do so, sign in with your iTunes Store Apple ID credentials.
Type the recipient’s email address on the Send Gift screen. Next, add a message to offer well wishes or provide context in 200 or fewer characters. This can be a brief “Happy birthday, with love” greeting or a curt “Use this guide instead, as discussed” missive. Select the day you want to gift the book and tap “Next.”
Scroll through and tap a preferred gift card graphic on the Select Theme screen. Tap “Next” again.
Review your gift book’s purchase details and then tap “Buy” to confirm your purchase. Your recipient is immediately advised of your thoughtful gift by email, unless you chose a later delivery date.

Streaming Video From a MacBook With AirPlay


Connect your Apple TV to a television with an HDMI cable for the highest-quality sound and video. If your TV doesn't have an available HDMI port, use a three-component video cable and two-component audio cable. Connect your Apple TV's left and right audio ports to your TV's corresponding inputs and match your Apple TV's green, blue and red video ports to your TV's Y, Pb and Pr ports, respectively.
Connect your Apple TV to the Internet by turning it on and following the on-screen prompts. Use your Apple TV Remote's Up and Down buttons to select a network from the list and press the middle button to join the network. Use the on-screen keyboard to enter your password if your network is encrypted. After joining your network, your TV displays a five-digit passcode for pairing with iTunes.
Pair your Apple TV with iTunes by entering the passcode in iTunes on your MacBook. Launch iTunes and press “Command-S” to show the sidebar. Select “Apple TV” in the Devices section and enter the passcode when prompted.
Enable AirPlay in iTunes by clicking the “AirPlay” icon in the status bar and selecting “Apple TV” from the drop-down list. On your television, browse your iTunes video collection by selecting “Computer” and choosing a title with the Apple Remote's left or right button. Press the middle button to Play.
Turn on AirPlay Mirroring to display your MacBook's video output on your television. This feature works separately from AirPlay streaming in iTunes, so close iTunes before enabling AirPlay Mirroring. Click the “AirPlay” icon on your Mac's status bar and select “Apple TV” from the drop-down list. In the Match Desktop Size menu, choose “Apple TV” to convert your MacBook's resolution to widescreen dimensions that match your television. After a moment, your Mac desktop appears on your TV screen.
Stream Web video to your television by opening a Web browser on your Mac and visiting a streaming video site, such as Hulu, Dailymotion or Vimeo (see Resources for links). Watch a video on your television by starting playback from your MacBook and clicking “Fullscreen.”

How to Export a PowerPoint to Keynote


Launch Keynote on your Mac. Click the 'File' menu and select 'Open' from the drop-down menu.
Select the 'On My Mac' button and browse to the PowerPoint file you want to open. Select the file and click the 'Open' button. A progress bar displays while Keynote processes the file.
Review the information in the Warnings dialog box if it appears. It will list any incompatibilities encountered or substitutions made when Keynote converted the file. Check the list of warnings and review any changes to the slides identified in the Warnings dialog. You may need to adjust bullet points, add any removed audio files or accept any substitute fonts. In some cases, no Warning dialog box appears, because no substitutions were made or incompatibilities were noted.
Run the presentation and watch closely for any variances between the Keynote presentation and the original PowerPoint presentation. If you see any, make adjustments to the individual slides affected. Edit the presentation as needed and save it.

How to Open Doors on 'LEGO Harry Potter' for the iPhone


Move your character close to the door that you want to open. In 'LEGO Harry Potter' on the iPhone, move a character by touching him and dragging your finger across the screen. When you approach the door, the game displays a green or red ring around it to indicate whether you can interact with it.
Tap the door if it highlights green. This means that the door is unlocked or you have the necessary key to open it. If the door highlights red, you cannot open it at this time. When you tap the door, the game plays an unpleasant sound.
Locate the key or other item needed to open the door if it highlights red. If the door is locked, it displays an icon of a key. In other cases, you may need to solve a puzzle. For example, the door may open automatically if you put a weight on a platform elsewhere in the level or complete your current active quest.

How to Connect a Mac PC to One Monitor (4 Steps)


Check your monitor for input ports. If it has a VGA and a DVI input port, your task is easy. Your PC likely has a VGA output; connect one end of the cable to that and the other end to the port on the monitor. If your MAC has a DVI output port, connect one end of the DVI cable to the Mac and the other end to the monitor. Use the 'input type' button on the monitor to switch back and forth between the PC (analog) and Mac (digital) displays.If your Mac has a mini DVI input (common on some Macbooks and Minis), you'll need to connect the cable to it through a mini DVI-to-DVI adapter.If your monitor has only one input port, you'll need to follow steps using a KVM (which stands for keyboard, video, mouse) switch.
Connect the KVM switch to your monitor using a VGA cable. Different brands will vary, but usually there will be an indicator as to where the monitor input cable goes.
Connect one of the output VGA cables to your PC. Connect the other to your Mac. Depending on the type of video output port on your Mac, you may need an adapter to connect the VGA cable from the KVM switch.
Turn on both computers, and use the buttons on the KVM switch to alternate between displays.
