How to Take Notes on an iPad With a Pen Stylus


Download a note-taking app from the App Store and allow it to install on your iPad, if you have not done so already.
Read the in-app instructions to find out how to move around between pages without affecting your handwritten notes. For example, normal swipe gestures for scrolling may be taken as pen input when you are in handwriting mode, so you may need to use two-finger swipes or other gestures to navigate.
Read any other in-app instructions that describe your app's handwriting input functions.
Locate the app's 'wrist guard,' 'palm pad' or similar feature. This is a feature that lets the iPad respond to your stylus input while ignoring the pressure of the side of your hand resting on the page as you write in a natural position. Turn the feature on or position it as necessary, depending on your app's internal instructions.
Hold your stylus as you would a normal pen or pencil and rest your hand on the wrist guard/palm pad area if one is specified. Only iPad-specific styluses may work on the iPad. If you have a stylus for certain smartphones with reactive rather than capacitive touchscreens, those styluses will not work for the iPad.
Write your notes as you normally would with a pen. Some apps have a handwriting input panel that allows you to write in large strokes, and then shrinks the notes to a more compact, readable form. Try using that feature for the clearest handwriting results if your app supports 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 Fill a Cracked Screen With Toothpaste (5 Steps)


Place a hand towel on a table. Place the cellphone on the towel with the screen facing up. Blow off the screen with a burst of compressed air. Wipe the edges of the screen with a soft cloth to remove any dust that has gathered there. Blow the screen off again with the compressed air.
Apply toothpaste to the end of the cotton swab. Wipe the excess toothpaste off the sides of the swab with your finger. Wash your finger with water.
Hold the swab in your right hand. Hold the cellphone down with your left hand. Place the covered tip of the swab against the screen at the left side of the crack. Press down gently as you drag the tip across the length of the crack. Remove the tip once the other side of the crack is reached. Discard the swab.
Wrap the soft cloth around the pinky finger of your right hand. Hold the cellphone down with your left hand. Place the covered tip of your pinky against the screen at the left side of the crack. Press down gently as you drag the covered tip of your pinky along the length of the crack. Remove your pinky from the screen once you reach the other side of the crack. Place the soft cloth aside.
Inspect the screen to see if the crack is no longer visible. If you can still see the crack, repeat the entire procedure again starting with the application of the toothpaste to the swab and the swab to the screen.
