Here's how to set who you 'See First' in your Facebook feed:
Launch the Facebook app on your iOS device, then tap on the More button in the bottom-right corner. Scroll to the bottom of the menu, where you'll find News Feed Preferences; tap on it, then tap on Prioritize who to see first.
Note you must be running the current version of Facebook on your device.
Apple used to be friends with Google and used its search engine by default. That's not the case anymore—now Apple is "friends" with Microsoft and uses Bing. Both of those search engines like to track your every move - which is why you get those “tailored” ads. If you're into some extra privacy, try the latest option for search in the Safari browser: DuckDuckGo, "the search engine that doesn't track you." Go to Settings > Safari > Search Engine and toggle the browser you prefer.
iOS 8 gives you the ability to search for photos based on locations or dates. For example, you can search for “November” or “Sparty.” You use this feature by opening your Photos app then tap on All Photos, then tap on the magnifying glass icon at the top of the screen.
Use the keyboard to type in what you’re looking for.
Turn on Auto HDR. It takes three photos taken at different exposures, and combines the best parts of each one. You can make sure your iPhone does this every time you take a photo by launching the camera, tapping HDR, and selecting Auto.
Many people and professions rely on week numbers to plan events and schedule their time, particularly on a longer term yearly basis. By default, the iOS Calendar app does not show week numbers, but a simple settings change can make it so week numbers appear in the Calendar app of iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
This is a really welcome change if you use week numbers for planning, and it’s quite easy to switch on or off to suit user preferences:
1 Open the Settings app and go to “Mail, Contacts, Calendars”
2 Scroll down to the “Calendars” section of the preferences
3 Toggle “Week Numbers” to the ON position
4 Open the Calendar app into Month view to see the change
When you create a group of iMessage users, you can name the group by tapping on Details. In the Details menu of the iMessage group, it says “Group Name.” After you enter a group name and hit Done, the conversation in the Messages app will show “You named the conversation [group name].” Bringing this feature to iMessage makes sense for keeping your group messages organized.
Apple has established a replacement program for some 3 TB hard drives in 27-inch iMacs sold between December 2012 and September 2013. These drives may fail under certain conditions. The program covers affected iMacs until 19 December 2015 or until the third anniversary of the original sales date, whichever period is longer.
You can enter your iMac’s serial number to see if it qualifies. If it does, you can get a free replacement at Capitol Macintosh. Apple also says it will reimburse anyone who has already paid for repair or replacement.
Before you have your iMac repaired, be sure to back up your data, preferably twice!
