You bought your iPhone because it is a smart phone with internet access and supports lots of applications so it' s only normal to download and install all kinds of applications. But sometimes when you do this, your iPhone stays stuck on Apple screen and does not boot or anything, just shows that logo and that's it. Many Apple iPhone users complained about it on specialized forums, but that is exactly the point. If you ask for the solution to your problems on the Apple forum, someone will give you the right answer eventually.



It's not unusual to have some problems with your iPhone software because there is so much technology in so little space and you can't expect it to work flawless all the time. After all machines are just machines and they do break from time to time. That is why you need a consult from experts who know what to do in this situation or a very fortunate answer from another iPhone user who experienced the same problem some time ago.

I did some search on these forums and found out more possible answers to your problem. The explanation for the fact that your iPhone stays stuck on Apple screen is that something went wrong during your downloading or installing a software application and it did not install completely, but also blocked the entire iPhone and its operating system.



You can solve the problem yourself, even if you are not so much into technical problems. The first thing you have to do is reset your iPhone, so you can do this by simply holding the sleep/wake button and the home button at the same time until it turns off. Release them when the iPhone is turned off because if you keep pressing the two buttons your your iPhone will turn back on.



Next you will have to try to connect your iPhone to the iTunes and leave its recovery to this software. In order to do this you will have to connect the iPhone dock to your computer and start running the iTunes. Then it's time to take the iPhone again and hold the home button while placing it on its dock. Keep pressing that button after placing the iPhone on the dock and hopefully you will be able to see the following message on the display : Connecting to iTunes. The problem is almost solved if the iTunes recognizes your iPhone.

If it does, you will be asked if you want the iTunes to perform the recovery for you. Select RESTORE and then choose to restore from the backup. It should fix your problem and your device will be running again. You will be able to perform all actions and the only thing you will lose is your music. But don't worry, you can get some more music on it in no time.

If something sounds too good to be true, it most likely is not true.The same thing happened to a lot of internet users all over the world. And this is not the first nor the last scam on the internet because this environment does not discover people's real identity and allows bad people to pretend to be what they are not. I am talking here about the dozens of web pages and blogs and Facebook accounts promising free iPads to unsuspecting users. The offer sounds incredibly well: you will get a free iPad just if you test it and report your review to the people from Apple who are interested in your opinion as a normal user.



Of course many people will jump on it, reacting first and reasoning afterwards. I am usually a bit more circumspect and do not trust these "incredible" offers because there's something wrong with the offer of getting such an innovative device for free. It is pretty expensive and it has just been released on the market, so everybody wants to get one. So many do not hesitate when they see this offer to be an Apple iPad tester and get the device tested for free.

Ok, Apple is a big company and can afford the expense , but my guess is that the testers are carefully chosen and there may be people like some famous reviewers for IT magazines. This way the free iPad is reviewed for free and it gets very good advertising at national and international level. So it's not exactly for free, right?



I admit i found more such examples of web sites advertising a free iPad for the person who wants to be an Apple iPad tester. All you had to do was to fill in a form and you were to receive the iPad immediately. Really? That page must be visited by at least 500 internet users a day and I really don't think that Apple is willing to make such nice presents to just everybody. Of course I ignored the offers and moved on.

But I have recently read an article that said that the similar offer appeared on Facebook was a great scam and people who signed in for getting a free iPad had to also give some personal details about their bank accounts or phone numbers and accounts and other private personal information. This information was used by hackers for bad purposes (ordering things on the online stores using their credit card account or some similar stuff). The iPads did not come to the excited "testers" , so ... I suppose I was right again.



I guess you'd better save some money or get another part time job if you want this device that bad, but never ever give personal information on the internet. Here are some links to some pages that advertise this if you are curious and if you decide to sign up for a free ipad and you really get it, let me know: www.surveyscout.com, www.free-wii.net, www.bestipadoffer.com.<

MacBooks are very useful and nice devices, but they are also portable and expensive, so you can't afford damaging them. But accidents happen all the time and, since your MacBook is so portable, of course you prefer carrying it all over the place with you rather than keeping it in a safe and secure place in your home or office. So you have to make sure your MacBook is also protected while you are out of the house. The best way to do this is by buying a special bag, case or sleeve that will protect it at any time. If you ask me, my opinion is that MacBook aluminum protective cases are the best choice because you do not have to spend a lot of time by taking you device out of the sleeve or bag and prepare it for being used, but you have instant access to it. Plus, it looks really cool if the case is nice and modern, with bright colours and a nice design.



I found some very nice and resistant MacBook aluminum protective cases that are specially designed for the Aluminum MacBooks with a diagonal of 13" and 15". They are all produced by a company called MacAlly and come in different bright colors, but also in a transparent version. These cases are perfectly fit for your Aluminum MacBook and protect it against scratches and also absorb the shock if you happen to drop it or bump it into a hard surface. These cases are very easy to install, as they are made of two separate parts that simply snap into each other at the back of your MacBook and they are also very easy to be removed. There's no need for you to make any unnecessary moves, since these special cases offer direct access to all the ports and outlets that allow you to connect to other devices or to operate your macBook.



Even if not all the models are transparent, even the coloured ones allow the Apple logo to be seen on the outside, so that there is no doubt about what laptop brand you have. I think buying one of these MacBook aluminum protective cases is a very good investment because they protect your laptop and this prevents it from getting damaged, so you will enjoy using it for a long time. Besides, the cases look really cool and bring a bit of colour in the dull world of grey and black computers. They make your MacBook look better and more personal.



They also have a very good price - only $29.95. So they offer maximum security with minimum cost. If you want to see what these cases look like and also want to find out more about them, you should visit the following web sites and maybe you will be inspired and purchase one for your MacBook as well: www.amazon.com, www.applelinks.com, www.macally.com. It is inspiring and surely it is worth the trouble.
