How to Delete Native iPhone Apps

Touch one of the app icons on your iPhone and hold it until all of the icons start to wiggle and shake. This is how you enter the position editing mode for the apps.
Select any of the apps and drag it to the right edge of the screen. The icon will cause the screen to shift to the next page of icons. If you have only one page of icons, this will create a second page.
Drag a second app from the first page to the next page and keep dragging it until you reach a third page. Keep moving apps until you've created nine pages of apps.
Move all of the native apps that you want to delete onto the ninth page of apps. Make sure that the native apps are the last ones on the page.
Add more icons to the ninth page until you have the page full with 16 apps. Keep the apps to be deleted as the last ones on the page.
Move several app icons to the eighth page so they are at least as many apps as you want to delete. So if you want to delete four native apps, place five apps onto the eighth page.
Drag the last app on the eighth page to the first position on the ninth page. This will bump the last app on the ninth page off and move it to the backdoor 10th page automatically. This is equivalent to deleting the app because you won't see it on your iPhone.
Keep moving the apps form the eighth page to the ninth page in the same pattern until all of the native apps you want to remove are moved to the 10th page.

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 install Windows 7 on a Mac Pro (6 Steps)

Update Bootcamp to at least version 3.1. Previous versions do not support Windows 7. You can download the required update from Apple's support website.
Open Bootcamp through 'Finder.' Go to 'Applications,' 'Utilities' and click on the program to open it.
Create a partition for Windows. You can use the default settings or adjust the size to your liking. You must have enough free space on your current hard drive to create a new partition.
Insert the Windows 7 installation disc when the partitioning is complete and click 'Start Installation' to proceed. Your machine restarts.
Select the new partition you created when the Windows 7 installation process is done loading. Choose the format option near the lower right-hand corner of the screen. The partition must be formatted before Windows can be installed. Be careful not to format any other partition or data will be lost. Click 'OK' to confirm the formatting and the Windows 7 installation process will begin.
Follow the instructions on the screen to continue the process. Your computer reboots after some time. Upon reboot, Windows 7 will load and you will be asked to set several settings such as language and keyboard layout. After the settings are chosen, installation is complete and the Windows desktop will appear. Your Mac will now load Windows 7 by default after every restart.

How to Sell Fiction eBooks

Research the ebook retailers who carry fiction ebooks. Go to their websites to see which formats they support (such as PDF, Kindle, Microsoft Reader, and so forth). Also try to find the site’s “publishers” page. Many ebook retailers use this page to outline their protocols for uploading new ebooks to their database.
Convert a copy of your fiction book to your chosen ebook format(s). There are services available which, sometimes for a fee, will convert your book to these formats for you. But learning how to do this yourself is not complicated. To convert to PDF, you need to purchase Adobe Creator (the free PDF converters you can download online do not have the feature flexibility needed to create a PDF document which will meet the standards set by some ebook retailers and distributors). To create an ebook in .lit format, you need to download a copy of “Microsoft Reader Content Software Development Kit.” The kit is available for free download. To convert to Kindle, create a copy of your book in HTML format; then upload this version of your book to Amazon’s “Digital Text Platform.” When you upload your book to the platform it will automatically be converted to the Kindle format.
Sign up for an account with an ebook distributor such as “Lightening Source.” While some ebook retails, like Amazon, allow publishers to upload their books to the retailer’s database directly; other retailers get their content exclusively from ebook distributors. Some ebook distributors charge a fee, but the cost is generally nominal.
Upload your fiction ebook to your select ebook retailers' or ebook distributors' databases. Once the book is approved and becomes live it will appear for sale on ebook retail websites.
Promote your ebook. It’s not enough to simply publish your fiction ebook. If you want the book to sell you have to promote it. Create an author’s or publisher’s website which promotes your projects. Invest in online ads. Use social networking sites to promote your books. Send out email sales letters. Be creative. The goal is to make people aware that your fiction ebook exists, and excite interest in it. Ebooks are a relatively new medium for books, which suggests that the door is wide open for innovative ways of marketing and promoting this type of product.
