Press the 'Play' button to begin video playback.
Tap on the video to reveal the playback controls, tap the 'AirPlay' button, and then select the device to which you want to send the video.

How to Use a Handheld GPS With Your Tablet (4 Steps)
Use the dedicated handheld GPS unit solely to compute precise coordinates, then plug them into the tablet's mapping software. This is ideal for the many inexpensive tablets that ship without a dedicated GPS radio, but even if your tablet has one, GPS devices often obtain more precise location fixes or latch onto weaker signals than the GPS radios included in many smartphones and tablets. Because the GPS only works for navigation, while phones and tablets balance power consumption against many different features, a handheld GPS usually holds and tracks satellite signals more strongly than non-dedicated devices.
Use the GPS unit to track several waypoints, which you can reconstruct on a map with your tablet to recreate routes or geotag photos. Although GPS-ready tablet mapping applications streamline point-to-point navigation, they aren't optimized for complex routing. If you need to either plot a complicated route or recreate a route you've already traveled -- for example, on a hiking trip -- let the waypoint feature on the handheld GPS unit record several positions, then transcribe them into your map software to present rich and accurate itineraries for your travels. In addition, photo applications increasingly recognize geotagging -- so if you snapped some beautiful photos in a remote wilderness or on a boating trip, record the spot with the GPS and add the coordinates to your photos later using the tablet-based photo editor of your choosing.
Augment your GPS device's limited display with richer maps while on the road. Although portable GPS units only need power and a view of the satellite constellation, all but the most expensive devices usually only plot very simple, low-resolution maps. If you need more context -- including real-time traffic monitoring or data about local destinations of interest like restaurants and gas stations -- your tablet can supply the missing information while rendering easier-to-read, larger visual presentations of several different data layers.
Use your GPS to fix locations where the GPS unit itself lacks solid mapping capability. In a marine setting, for example, a handheld GPS might provide a fix over the water, but the device's maps won't tell you when you're about to run your boat aground. Instead, install chart-plotting software on your tablet that's compatible with National Marine Electronics Association standards, and let your handheld compute your location while your tablet serves up current marine charts. For example, iNavX for iPad and iPhone supports offline maps, and syncs with any GPS unit that can connect using NMEA protocols.

How to Connect My Sennheiser Bluetooth Headphones to My MacBook Pro
Open the cover located on the left earcup of the headphones. Connect one end of the charging cable to the socket installed in the earcup. Connect the remaining end of the cable to one of the USB ports located on the left side of the MacBook Pro. Allow the battery to charge for three hours before proceeding.
Disconnect the charging cable from the headphones and computer. Close the cover on the left earcup. Hold down the button installed in the center of the right earcup until the surrounding LED blinks red three times. Press the button again until the LED blinks blue and red in alternating order.
Click on the Bluetooth icon located on the left side of the computer's menu bar. Select the option labeled 'Set Up Bluetooth Device.' Select the headphones from the list of entries and follow the onscreen instructions; when prompted for a passcode, input '0000.'
Check the LED on the right earcup; if the LED is blue, a connection has been established. Repeat steps one through three if the LED is blinking red. Put the headphones on and play a piece of audio to confirm that the device is working.
Locate the two buttons installed near the bottom edge of the right earcup. Press the left button if you wish to toggle the Bluetooth connection on and off. Press the right button if you wish to activate the 'NoiseGard' feature. Press the buttons installed around the LED on the right earcup to adjust the playback volume.

How to Bypass MacBook Passwords
Determine how many administrator and user accounts are on the MacBook. If the computer is booted up, select 'System Preferences' from under the apple in the upper left corner of the screen and click on 'Accounts.' Note that you really only need to bypass the administrator password, as standard user accounts are all controlled by the administrator. If you are unable to boot the computer due to a password, proceed to Step 2.
Insert a Mac OS X installation disc into your MacBook's drive. Select 'Restart' from under the apple in the upper left corner of the screen. When the computer begins the boot process (as soon as the screen becomes active), hold down the 'C' key until you see the spinning wheel on the screen.

Click on the arrow in the lower right corner of the window to proceed. (Note that the startup process takes longer when you're booting off an installation disc.) When the menus appear at the top of the screen, select 'Reset Password' from under the 'Utilities' menu.
Select the account whose passwords you want to bypass. If there are multiple user accounts, you will have to change them one by one and repeat the process for each account. Write down the passwords and remember that they're case sensitive, so check your Caps Lock key. You can also opt to leave the password field blank, meaning you don't enter anything in the field when it appears.

Quit the Password Utility and then quit the installer. You will be prompted to make one of three choices here, so select 'Restart' at this point. As soon as the MacBook reboots, hold down the track-pad button (or mouse button) to force the computer to eject the disc upon startup.

Open the Keychain utility (found in Applications>Utilities) to determine if there are any other passwords that you need to know and/or change. By knowing the administrator password, you can access every password stored in the Keychain. To learn the passwords of these items, simply click on the item in the list of the Keychain. You will be prompted to enter the administrator password (as created in Step 4) and clicking on 'Allow.'

How to Move iPhone Apps From a Screen
Turn on your iPhone.
Scroll through the display screens of the iPhone by swiping your finger horizontally across the screen. Decide which apps you want to move or delete.
Press and hold your finger against any app on the screen with the screen you want to move or delete until all the apps on the screen start to wiggle and a white 'X' with a circle around it appears in the upper-left corner of the screen.
Tap and hold the app you want to move to another screen until the app increases slightly in size. Drag the app to the furthest edge of the screen in the direction you want to move the app. Continue dragging the app from screen to screen until you arrive at the screen where you want to place the app. Remove your finger from the screen when you arrive at the screen where you want to place the app. Alternatively, if you want to delete an app, tap the 'X' in the upper-left corner of the app, then click 'Delete' to confirm that you want to delete the app.

How to Eject My Memory Stick on My Apple Mac
Access the desktop. To eject a memory stick on a Mac, you have to get to the desktop. Close or minimize all windows by either clicking on the red 'X' in the top left or by double-clicking on the top of the window to minimize it.
Hold down the 'Control' key and click on the memory stick's icon on the desktop. This is the equivalent of a 'right-click' on a Mac. A drop-down menu should appear. Click on the option that says 'Eject XXXX,' where 'XXXX' is the name of your memory stick. You can also click and hold on the drive, and drag it to the trash bin to eject it.
Wait for the drive to disappear and then pull the memory stick out of the USB slot.
