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 Set Up an iSight Camera With iGlasses

Download and install iGlasses (see link in Resources below). During the installation you can choose which applications you want to use iGlasses with. Select iChat and any other applications you may use with the iSight built-in Camera. When you launch iChat, the iGlasses application will automatically open. You can select the iGlasses control panel under the iChat VIDEO tab.
Select standard or another preset mode to work on. Explore the presets. You can choose bright, extra bright, sepia and many other presets and adjust them to your preference and lighting, then select the area you want to adjust. You can adjust exposure, color and many other image characteristics.
Most of us use our cameras from our work or home office, which usually has mixed low-level lighting. The image was too dark so I selected the super bright exposure. Now the image is perhaps too light, but I can easily adjust it with the slider. This enables you to have iChat conversations where everyone can actually see one another.
You can also zoom, pan and rotate the camera. This helps eliminate distractions during iChat conversations. No more dogs and cats walking in the background. It forces your iChat attendees to focus on you instead of what is moving in the background. This is especially useful for business conversations and training courses.
The iGlasses application has a lot of settings and adjustments. You can adjust the white balance, hue, shadows, saturation and much more. Experiment with all the settings. Once you have the settings the way you want them, SAVE them as a CUSTOM PRESET. Next time you open IChat, just select your saved preset and you are ready to go.

How to Defrag a Mac Hard Drive

Open the Disc Utility program, which is located in the 'Utilities' folder of your 'Applications' directory. Highlight your hard drive from the list and have the program repair the permissions. This is an easy way to correct some common computer errors which could be slowing your hard drive down.
Look for a program to defrag your computer. There are some free utilities that can work on your Mac hard drive, but you should seriously consider purchasing a program because of the stability and support that comes with a purchased product. Defragging programs include Disc Warrior and iDefrag (see Resources below).
Take steps to back up your data before you defrag a Mac hard drive. Data loss is unlikely with well-respected programs, but defragging is a long and extensive process, and you can never be too safe.
Plan to run your defragging program during a time when you won't need to use your computer. No matter which program you decide on, it can take up to several hours to defrag a Mac hard drive. Some companies even suggest running the program overnight.
Notice whether defragging your Mac hard drive improved your computer's performance. Opening applications and large files should be faster if only by a few seconds. If your hard drive is more than 75 percent full, the performance increase may be more noticeable.

How to Connect My Laptop to a Projector Wirelessly

Turn off both the laptop and projector. Both must be off for the media program to recognize the new hardware upon restarting your laptop.
Hook up a wireless transmitting device to aid in transferring the signal wirelessly from the laptop to the projector. Wireless transmitters will work to transmit Internet or cable signals from one media to another. A receiver, which acts like an antenna, must be hooked up to the hardware device that will be receiving the wireless signal.
Turn on the laptop and projector. Wait for the media program to recognize the new hardware. It will provide you with prompts on your laptop screen. Follow the command prompts. Some operating systems will not automatically recognize the new hardware. If yours does not, click on the 'Start' menu. Type 'projector sharing' into the search box at the bottom of the start menu. Choose 'Connect to a Network Projector' from the options given.
Select your projector from the drop-down list and wait for the connection wizard to install all of the necessary components. Follow the command prompts until you are finished.
