App Store Purchase History

Dear Readers,

7/10 smart phone users are iPhone users today. It's all with the craziness that we had on iPhone. Each and every application is purchased via iTunes App Store only. Six months back my iPhone was dead and i got a new phone back. 

Unfortunately i didn't transfer my purchases/have the latest backup in my computer of my old phone, so i didn't remember the applications that i was having it earlier. Then it took hard time for me to get the history of the apps that i had early. I thought of sharing the way i did by looking into the  history to reinstall all my app's.

Please follow the below steps to look into your purchase history.

1. Open iTunes --> Click on iTunes Store
2. Click on your "Account Name" Eg: abc@xyz.com which will be displayed on the right top corner and enter your password then click on "View account"
3. In the account information screen second box will have your "Most Recent Purchase" date. Near to that you will have "Purchase History" button. Click on that
4. It will give the history of all applications that you have bought.

I am sorry i should say this sad news to you, You might have purchased some paid app on a hourly/holiday deal which will show you in the history as $0.00 but when you purchase it may not be the same price. So be careful before you purchase.

How to know who blocked me in Gtalk

Dear All,

Often we wonder when our friends who appeared online more frequently suddenly appearing offline. Did you try to ping them and got frustrated with no response? There will be only three reasons for that can happen in this scenario.
  • Didn't get chance to login to their account.
  • Trying to avoid you.
  • Cleverly blocked you in their chat list.

How can we find out the exact root cause it's very simple. Follow me i am sure you will get to know the exact reason.
  1. Click here to download Pidgin
  2. After successful installation you can directly click on "Add" in the main window or you can click on Add button by going into Accounts--> Manage Accounts (Ctrl+A).
  3. In the Add Account window choose Gtalk under protocol. You have most of the messengers to choose Eg: Yahoo,AIM etc.,
  4. Give gtalk user name and password in the appropriate text box.
  5. Enter "Home" in Resource box.
  6. Click on Add
  7. Now your account has been added. In the Buddy list window click on Buddies --> Show --> Offline Buddies.
  8. Once you get the list of offline buddies just right click on the user name whom you think they have blocked you and choose "Get Info".
  9. If they have blocked you then you will get the result as Offline else you will see their picture & profile information.  That's it. You can take a deep breath and relax. 


I am sure you are clever now as you have found out the fool who has blocked you thinking you will not be knowing whether he/she has blocked or not. 

Can we hijack their credential? Follow my posts we shall play with them just note down their id.



Stop Auto Invite to Google Chat

Dear Readers,

I am sure this happens to every gmail users. Gmail has an inbuilt feature which will automatically invite your frequent gmail friends. I am sure it's a cool feature but what happens is it's not recommended to send some invitation from our end without our knowledge. So let's see how does this goes automatically and stop if we don't want.

Login to Gmail --> goto Settings
Under Chat tab --> If you have "Automatically allow people I communicate with often to chat with me and see when I'm online." Selected then the invitation is going automatically. 

If you want to stop this then select the alternate option ie.,  Only allow people that I've explicitly approved to chat with me and see when I'm online.

Auto Recovery Option in Microsoft Word

Dear Readers,
Microsoft office plays a vital role in many of professionals and non-professionals life. Simply I can say whoever use computer they should be aware of Office tool. On which Word is one of the most important application when we say documents in computer.

8/10 users will not save the document the moment they have completed 100 words at least. This ends up in loosing data when there is power cut in your PC or your PC hangs. What if you are typing a big document for your official purpose and you lost when you are about to completeL. IT’s the saddest part and you will hate to do it again I know.

To avoid this we have a feature in Microsoft Word 2010/2007. You just need to click on Office button on the top of the window and select options. Now select Save in left side of the window and make sure you have specified the Auto Recover File location path is defined and you are aware of it.



Also the saving interval which I have highlighted in the figures will be helpful in recover your document until that point. You can also specify the document type such as 2007/2003 format etc.,

Different Time Zone in Google Calendar

Dear Readers,
I am not sure about how often you use Google Calendar, but I am mad about it. Without calendar event my day will not pass. I have all remainders and events for the day in my calendar. I use outlook calendar only for official purpose but for all my personal reason I have my Google calendar handy.

When we come to create event in Google calendar then we have big headache especially dealing with different time zone people. For example if you are scheduling a call with a friend in France/India and you are in USA then you are not aware of what time zone they are in L. So as a one stop solution Google has now introduced having events created with respect to the time zone.



All you need to do is just to click on the Time Zone link which is near to date and time and select the country where your friends are then you are done.  The remainder is buzz’d up automatically with your current time zone.
The best part is you have start & End time zone separation. For example if you are starting an event starting in USA and ending @ India then you can separate it. Use it you will hate other calendars. It’s Google what else.

McAfee Security Center showing Blank Screen

Dear Readers,

I am quite busy for long time as all the weekends are busy with some travel out of this state. What to do family is also important for everyone. Cool!

As i said you already for many security reasons i use LinuxMint OS rather than Windows OS. Almost it's a month that i logged into Windows OS. I connected to windows OS yesterday and i observed that McAfee Security Center has alerted me with a message stating "Your computer is not fully protected". I clicked on the McAfee Security Center to fix it but to my surprise McAfee window was blank :(. Except help screen nothing was shown up. 

I truly didn't understand what's going on and i tried to install McAfee Virutal Technician to resolve the issue. After trying with Virtual Technician also nothing worked well for me. Then after deep analysis i came to know that the issue was with IE9. Yes, McAfee runs with Internet Explorer defaults. As IE9 was installed in my machine which is beta version and Microsoft didn't fix all the outstanding issues with IE9 our McAfee product was unable to determine its settings to proceed further.

I un-installed IE9 then finally downgrade to IE8 then my McAfee Security Center was working normally. So, in case if you are having this issue please try to use the same method. If still the issue persists then please contact the Support person to help you.

Resume Writing Tips and suggestion

Good day to everyone. The following post is about how to make your resume very professional and tips on Do’s & Don’ts in your Resume.

I am drafting this post with my own professional experience and the study on various management sites. This post will be helpful for all professional and my dear student friends.

Let’s start with Do’s and Don’ts in your resume.

Do’s:

  1. Your resume layout should fit in A4 sheet.
  2. Your resume should talk more about your professional exp/ studies (for freshers).
  3. Your resume should have date & place which will ensure your latest resume and your current place of preparation.
  4. Fit with some readable fonts (Arial recommended).
  5. Refer someone in the same industry (Eg: If you are in IT industry refer someone in the same industry instead of referring someone in chemical industry)
  6. Always project your details from latest to oldest as you can easily remember the latest one.


Don’ts:
  1. Lie on your resume.
  2. Draw any background colors for your resume as it will not look good when you take print outs.
  3. Change your font’s for heading and content.
  4. Place your photograph on your resume, incase asked paste the hard copy of your passport size photo.
  5. Underline the headings instead bold it.

Now you just have a look into the attachment which will give you the format of the resume. Just fill and enjoy. All the best.

Uninstalling app and taking screen shot in iPhone/iPod Touch

Dear Readers,

One of my friend has asked me today how to uninstall an app in your iPhone. While troubleshooting i have thought him how to take screen shot also. I thought it would be helpful for others too if i share the same.

There is nothing like big un-installation steps in iPhones as we do it in computers. Just keep your finger on any of the app and hold it for few seconds. Your applications will start dancing. Once the dance starts other than defaults apps such as calender, compass, youtube etc., you will get "x" mark in the apps that you have installed. Now click on "x" to remove that app from your iPhone. That's how we do uninstall or remove the app from your iPhone/iPod touch.

In case if your installation is struck up, you will not get the "x" mark in that particular application and the status will be "Waiting". Don't worry just switch off and switch it on then again give a dance to the app as said above the "x" will appear.

To take screen shot, just press home & sleep in a single shot your current iPhone screen shot is been taken and it will be available in your photo's.

Watermark in picasa

I believe couple of weeks before i was reading on web about adding water mark to pictures. I don't remember the software name exactly as i was not impressed by it's functionality.

I was thinking if Google has a software to import/export photo's using Picasa why it doesn't have any function to add watermark of it's own? With no doubt my research was done and finally i found the answer. It's YES, picasa has the function to perform this task by it's own. Let's see how.

We can easily add watermark to all photo's that we upload to web. Follow the simple steps.

1. Open Picasa and goto Tools --> Options
2. Click on "Web Albums" tab and look for "Watermarks"
3. Check the option "Add a watermark for all photo uploads" and enter the text that you want to appear on the text box then click on "OK".

Now from when on you upload any images to picasa web albums you will get the watermark to your photo's. This way you can own your rights to your photo's :). I hope you enjoyed this tutorial. Meet you again.

Stop Chat Status in Buzz

Dear Readers,

I am sorry to say this, many of my buzz buddies does this mistake either knowingly or unknowingly which makes other followers in dis-comfortable state :(. I know you may wonder what was that? Mmmm nothing much but buzzing your gtalk/google chat status to buzz.


I am not saying you are doing intensionally but it's Google, which has made this option as default to all your buzz accounts. I am sure you might have seen the same in buzz and you might have tried to stopped it. If you really don't know how to do the same then this post is fully dedicated for those unknowns folks.

To avoid this from your buzz status all you need to do is to follow below 4 steps.
  1. Goto Settings
  2. Click on “Buzz” tab and look for “Your connected sites:” verbiage
  3. Now click on “View and Edit” link and you can see “Google Chat Status” in that window.
  4. Click on “Edit” and again click “Remove Site”.

This way your google chat status will not be buzzed anymore :). You should always understand one point, Buzz and Tweeters are to share your thoughts and feels not your fullstops and commas :) Keep buzzing buddies.

Please share this in your buzz if you are dis-comfortable with your followers.

Adding Watermark to a document using Microsoft Word 2010


Dear readers,

In every professional environment we have the concept of copyright and confidential. We prepare the document and share it with our clients alone which is highly confidential. We can say that it’s confidential /copy right to your own organization.

We cannot add a simple text which can say it’s confidential but how about adding a water mark in a document? It’s even simple and it can’t be edited by others.

To add the water mark in your work document follow the steps as mentioned below

  1. Click on “Page Layout” in the menu
  2. In the Page Backgroun option look for “Watermark” and we have some inbuild watermark in work. If that suits to you then we can add it. Else we can define our custom water mark by choosing “Custom Watermark”.
  3. In the custom window we have three options “No Watermark/Picture Watermark/Text Watermark”. It’s up to you to choose whatever you want.

HD video uploads in Picasa

All,

It’s Google againJ. Those who frequently read my pages should have known by now how love Google. I follow each and every new steps of Google as they are the one whom I am admiring every day.

Let’s see what’s new today. If you are introduced to internet for the first time I am sure that within a week you should have known 3 things
1. Google
2. Gmail
3. YouTube

If you know are familiar with Google then in day by day you will be learning everything which is in WWW. Point#3 is YouTube, Yes when we say video clips on internet the first site which smack everyone’s wits is YouTube. The #1 video uploading and sharing portal up to my knowledge. The best part of YouTube is allowing us to upload HD videos for free up to 2GB with 15 mins length. Now Google has announced that we will be able to upload HD videos in Picasa.

As you might be known about Picasa, the application by Google which allows you to upload and share photos + videos up to 1 GB of your account. Now they have introduced an option to Picasa users to upload HD videos which can be up to 720p. We need Picasa software to be installed in our machine and we cannot upload directly from Picasa web albums. It’s a known fact that HD videos occupies more space and a total of 1GB space for every Picasa account is really not enough.

If you want to upload it in Picasa with various accounts then it would be okay. Commit to memory that you cannot share the video alone to your friends instead your complete album will be sharedL. I hope Google will give some more room to us and sharing options comparable to YouTube.

I still say YouTube is the best for video uploads and sharing’s. BlogBooster-The most productive way for mobile blogging. BlogBooster is a multi-service blog editor for iPhone, Android, WebOs and your desktop

Creating slide show photo's in your blog/website

Dear Readers,

Often i wonder @ some sites when they do the photo slide show on their webpages. I was looking for some tools that could do the same. Meantime i got introduced to this website which allows us to create photo slide show for free.

No registration required, we can sign in with our Google/Facebook/Twitter account. We can upload the photo's and create design templates which we like. Not all the templates are free there are some templates which are paid. Free one comes with watermark of the distributer.

Once the slide show is created then we can get the embedded code and put it in our blog/website. It's so easy.

Click here to start creating photo slide shows.

Record calls thru Google Voice#

As I have said in my earlier posts stating we have an option to record calls that we receive or dial from Google voice just by pressing button “4” in your dial pad.

Now Google has given you an option on screen just to click on the record button to press it. Test is going on. Soon we may have it in our screens. As we know it won’t take much time for Google to implement.

Shorten any lengthy URL

Dear All,

I am sure that everyone is aware of Google maps and Picasa web albums. I am saying these two Google products as an example here. So when you use this maps/photo apps the only thing you will hate is when you share your findings with your friends is nothing but the two/three lines of URLL.

You all hate as I hate it, because if we give too lengthy URL’s then no one likes to click on that thinking it may be spam or if the click doesn’t work then it’s hard time for our friends to copy paste/type it. So Google itself has an app to shorten these lengthy URL’s into small.

Click http://goo.gl/ to open the web app and give the lengthy URL then click on the “Shorten” button. It will give you the best result as Google always gives for us.

Moving next/previous message after archival

Folks,
 
As I keep saying in most of my post like everyone has their own taste. I like the way to be very professional and process related but not everyone will be like that. We have people with different taste. It’s since long time Google didn’t think about swapping to next/previous message if we archive any message. This feature was available in yahoo from earlier days. When we delete any emails from yahoo account we can setup an option either to move to next message or to stay back in inbox.
 
Now it’s Google which has introduced this feature.  Google gives three options upon archiving any message.
ü  Go to next conversation
ü  Go to previous conversation
ü  Go back to inbox
 
It’s up to you to choose which option suits for you. I don’t believe any users will request for other than the above 3 optionsJ.
 
Happy mailing

Text Effect in Microsoft Word

Dear Readers,

Due to my health issues i am unable to post frequently in my blog. I am okay now and you can see some good hits from now on.

Today i am gonna to show you how can we have some text effects in Microsoft word 2007 or higher. Presenting and documenting text with different font styles will add some colors to your document but it should be readable. Creating attraction towards your document is more important than presenting with various styles of fonts. 

We can add some shadows, reflections, fill colors inside or outside of our text without changing the font to make our document very professional or readable.

To add text effects please open word and type your text. Once the text is typed select the particular text where you want to create some effects. Follow the steps mentioned in the below figure to add your desired text effects.

Google Googles

Dear All,

It's google which always makes me and pulls me to think beyond my limits. I truly don't understand how things are thought far behind our imagination.

Google Googles is a cool application for Android and iPhone. Earlier it use to open and do things with respect our voice. Now they have moved behind our imagination yes, now we can just take photos to know about things. Photos will be scanned pixel by pixels finally the search result will be displayed for you.

You can scan a business card to save that to your contacts or you can just call to the contacts from that business card. Wow! Interesting.

One more cool feature is once you scan different language text using this application it prompts you to translate the text into different language.

I have tried this application in my office to see how it works. I just scanned my note book , it was awesome. Just have a look.

See my demo:

IE9 Opening Most Popular Sites when it loads

Dear All,
I am sorry for not posting for last two weeks as my account was having some trouble and i work with help center to recover it.

Todays post is regarding opening Most popular sites that we have visited when your IE9 loads. Once IE9 is out we could see some difference in the usage between users on other browsers too. Many has started using IE9 as it's good compared with other browsers.

Okay, to make this option as default all you need to do is open IE9 --> Tools (Alt+X) --> Internet Options. Under the Home Page just type about:tabs.

That's it you will now start seeing the most popular sites that you have visited when you open your browser.

Onion That worked! A Grandma Tip for Infants

Folks,

On Saturday my princess got vaccination. As you know once we get vaccination the following day the body temperature will go high. This is because the fight between the medicine and our body molecules.


As my princess was suffering with 100 temperature myself and my wife was very disappointed yesterday. Though it's normal in medical term it's new to us. As she is just 2 months and 4 weeks old we cannot give medicine for her. So doctors office was leave. We just took the decision to give grandma medicine for her. Yes, that worked well.

Grandma's Medicine is : "Cut an onion in half. Place each half into one of baby's socks. Now put the socks to your baby with cut side of onion against the soles of babies feet. Don't remove the socks for couple of hours. Check the temperature before you put the socks and after couple of hours. You will see the difference."

My baby was running with 100.1 temperature and within 2 hours she was 98.7. Please note that some babies will not like to have it in both legs so don't force them. Have it in 1 leg at least.

Note: It's just a tip that i have read and used for my kid. I am not saying it's the best solution. I recommend to consult your pediatrician before you do something.

Enthiran - The Robot Review

Dear Readers,

I have seen couple of emails to me stating have you seen enthiran yet? All my friends and family knows that i am mad of Mr.Rajinikanth & a good follower of Mr.Shankar.

From my childhood i have never missed first day show of any rajini movie. My uncle being the secretary of Rajini's fan club in my home town i use to get tickets for the first show. But unfortunately for Shivaji and Enthiran i have went without him and our group as i was in different location. 

The only hero which i have seen with this much simplicity and crazy on him is Mr.Rajinikanth. People are just mad about him. If you go for any movie and if you see his name or a poster appear in that movie then you can see the sounds & applause from audience. That gives his victory and the fans craziness on him.

The most awaited and a big budget movie Enthiran. The dream of two guys first Mr.Shankar who has prepared this story year sback and running behind the heroes + producers to make his dream on screen. Another one is Mr. Rajinikanth who was chasing Mrs. Aishwarya Rai bachan to pair him from Padayappa movie. Finally the dream of two pillars came to real. 

Shivaji was neither shankar's movie nor a Rajini's movie. It was a mix. Now Enthiran was directly a shankars movie.

Whenever Rajini's movie hit the screen it's a dewali festival for his fans. This time we have two dewali continuously.

Story line:
Simple story, A scientist who creates a robot which knows everything except one ie.,Feelings of human. He create this robot to help Indian army during the war. To avoid human loss in the war this robot should be helpful was his intension. Unfortunately during the initial approvals his demo is failed because this robot is dangerous as it runs only with commands and can easily be misused.

Now this scientist teaches how the human feelings will be to his robot which results in robot's love on scientists lover. What happens? Who won the game? is the rest of the story.

Scene i enjoyed:

I have seen this movie twice. I have enjoyed each and every frame of this movie as i am a fan of both Rajini & Shankar. But the scenes that i enjoyed most is as follows.

  • An normal introduction of a big mass hero which is unusual.
  • Telling IP Address of the robo when traffic inspector asks his address.
  • When Robo answers to the question "Whether is there any God or no?"
  • When robo get's the first human feel ie., Love.
  • When robo says "she is alive" while rescuing a girl from fire.
  • The last 30 mins of the movie i didnt even close my eyes. Each frame is enjoyable. A Different try and director shankar was very keen about not to mirror or repeat some graphical part in climax.


Abbu's Rating: 4/5. Though it has many logical fall considering directors hard work to make all class audience happy i could give this rating.

Watch the trailer:



Tamil cinema industry has spoiled such a good actor only by offering mass role from him. We can watch the real rajini's acting on the big screen.

Verdict: Watch out robot without fail with family. A new try from indian cinema industry & to enjoy Rajini's real acting.
