How to Save PDFs on an iPad (6 Steps)

Launch the 'App Store' on your iPad and browse for a PDF app. Nearly any eBook reading app, such as iBooks or Kindle, can read and save your PDFs in an easily accessible format on your iPad. These apps are generally free. If you need to work with the PDF on your iPad, enter 'annotate PDF' in the App Store search box and find a PDF editor that has the functions you need.
Download the app onto your iPad by tapping the 'Free' button or price, selecting 'Install' and confirming your password. You do not need to launch the app after it installs.
Navigate to your PDF document. If it is on your computer, email it to yourself, and then tap the attachment to download it onto the iPad. If it is online, visit the site where the PDF is located and click the link to download the document. The PDF will open in Preview mode, but this does not save it to your iPad.
Tap the 'Open in' button in the upper-right corner. If you don't see this button, tap anywhere in the document. This will bring up the menu bar, including the button.
Select the app you just installed from the 'Open in' list. The iPad will automatically launch your app and open the PDF within it.
Tap 'Save' to save the PDF if that option is available in your app. Many apps will automatically save the PDF, so you may not see a 'Save' button. In this case, simply press the back arrow to go to the app's main interface or press the Home button to leave the app. The next time you launch the app, you will see your PDF stored in the app's files.

How to Prevent the Rearrangement of Icons on an iPhone

Jailbreak your phone. There is no utility available within the iPhone itself that allows icons to be locked. There is also no available app on the App Store that provides this functionality. However, if you jailbreak your phone, you will have access to apps that will provide you with this feature. Despite the name, jailbreaking an iPhone is not illegal.
Download Springlocker or Lockdown from Cydia. As new apps are constantly being released, there may be other apps that can provide this feature in the future. As of November 2010, these are the two programs that will enable you to lock your icons.
Go into the 'Settings' of your iPhone if you installed Springlocker. There will be a Spring Locker option that gives you the ability to turn 'Lock Icons' on or off. Turn it on to prevent your icons from being accidentally moved or deleted in the future.
If you installed Lockdown, you can stop icons from being moved, and you can also stop them from being opened if you want to restrict access to certain apps on your phone. You can access this feature through the 'settings' on your iPhone. You must turn the 'Lock Icon Placement' option to 'On' to prevent icons from being rearranged.

How to Speed Up Download Speeds on Mac (4 Steps)

Change your Internet connection. This is one of the only sure ways to speed up your downloads on a Mac. If you have a cable connection, consider switching to DSL. Even though cable can be faster, the more people connected in a given area, the more bandwidth is used and the slower the download speeds are for you. While DSL is constant, since you are not sharing your connection with anyone else, if you have DSL, consider upgrading the number of Mbps you can download. If you go from 1.5 to 3 or 5, you will notice a difference.
Open ports on your computer. This will allow the ports that you are downloading on to have more access to your computer and therefore download more quickly. Open “System Preferences” in the Apple menu.
Click on “Sharing” and select “Firewall.”
Click “New” and select “Other” from the drop-down menu. Input “6881-6889” in the “TCP Port Numbers” and “UDP Port Numbers” boxes and add a description. Press “OK” and check the new port to open it.
