How to Make an iPad Hotspot
Download and install MyWi onto your iPad. After installation, open the program. Set up a security system for your WiFi by pressing 'WEP Security' and selecting 'On.'
Choose a password for your network (which prevents others from being able to access your WiFi).
Set the button that toggles 'WiFi Tethering' to the 'On' setting. If you wish to conserve battery on your iPad, you can select 'Status Bar Icon' as your 'In Use Indicator.' This uses no battery power, meaning that you can avoid charging your iPad for longer.
Connect other devices to the wireless hotspot by inserting the password you have set up.

How to Manage Color on a Mac Computer (9 Steps)
Open your SYSTEM PREFERENCES, which you can always find under the APPLE menu. Once you have opened the finder, click on DISPLAYS.
The applet opens showing the DISPLAY tab. Notice the resolution is defaulted to the highest possible resolution. Most people will want to leave it there so they can see their screens and images at the highest quality. You may want to lower the resolution if you have difficulty reading the type of your screen, or have your eyes checked. You can also lower your 'colors' from millions to 256, but I honestly don't know why you would want to do this. To access the color management adjustments, click on the COLOR TAB.
Notice there are four profiles listed and you are defaulted to your default APPLE profile, in this case iMac. Experiment by selecting another profile and see how your screen changes. To create a new profile, click on CALIBRATE to bring up the Calibration Assistant. Before doing that, however, click on OPEN PROFILE to see the values of the current profile.
Each profile has a number of different elements and you can see the values and the GAMUT of each element by clicking the element. This is the RED channel tri-stimulus value of this profile. Check on different profiles; compare their values and the image on the screen to help you determine how to build a new one. Next click on CALIBRATE to open the calibration assistant.
The CALIBRATION ASSISTANT will take you through a number of steps to create a new profile based on your visual adjustments. Read the instructions and click CONTINUE to go to the next step.
Determine your display's native response or GAMMA. Adjust the sliders until the APPLE shape blends into the background. It will never completely disappear, but get it as close as you can. Sit back from the MONITOR when you are making the adjustment. When you are done, click continue.
Calibrate the target GAMMA. You can set it to the native GAMMA or use the Mac or PC standard. Notice how the screen changes as you make these adjustments. If you are using Macs and PCs and doing image editing on both, you may want to calibrate to the PC standard so the two are consistent. You can also use ADOBE GAMMA on your PC to make it look like the Mac.
Select a TARGET WHITE POINT. You can use the native white point, which is good for photography, or set the white point to another temperature to help adjust for the ambient light in the computer room. The white point SCALE is KELVIN, so it corresponds to white point settings on a camera. Using the native white point will use the white point from the image displayed.
The next step is the ADMIN step, which allows you to share the profile with other users of the computer. From that step you will be asked to NAME your profile and finally save it. The new profile will then appear on your profile list where you can select it. The purpose of all of this is to calibrate the display to YOUR eye. If the screen looks too green or is too dark, you may want to experiment with creating your own profiles.

How to Activate 3G on an iPad
Tap the 'Settings' icon on your iPad and press 'Cellular data' in the 'Settings' menu to open the 3-G connection wizard.

How to View Running Processes on Mac OS X (4 Steps)
Click the “Applications” folder if it’s pinned to your Dock, scroll down and select the “Utilities” folder and then click “Activity Monitor” to launch Activity Monitor. Alternatively, you can also open Activity Monitor by searching for “Activity Monitor” in the Search field on the Launchpad and then selecting “Activity Monitor” from the search results.
Scroll through the processes listed in the Process Name column on the far left side of Activity Monitor. Each process currently running on your computer appears on its own line in this column. Follow along the row to the right of the process name to read its statistics.
Click the name of a process and then click the “i” icon located above the Process Name column. Clicking this icon displays a brief snapshot of information about the selected process, including how much CPU and memory it’s using, how long it has been active and which files and ports it’s using.
Select a tab along the top of the Activity Monitor window to view how processes are using resources on your Mac. Available tabs in OS X Mavericks include CPU, Memory, Energy, Disk and Network. Each tab then has an associated list of sub-sections that help you to further drill down into process resource usage.
