As a Google Keep user, I have to warn you that the process is not straightforward since there is no direct import or export option available. The note-taking app doesn’t come with an API, and hopefully the Google Keep devs will finally provide it soon. Continuing with our problem, let’s take a look at how to transfer all iPhone notes to Google Keep. Whether you are moving from iPhone to Android-based smartphone or you want to use both platforms on a daily basis — the notes should be in sync....

This is the basic premise of how Divvy works – there is a display panel that pops up, and rearranges the active window according to whatever size or location you want it to appear on the grid. By dragging your cursor, you can make a rectangle or a square in the grid and resize your window like that. The section of your screen that a specific square on your grid represents will be highlighted, as seen in the image below....

Speaking of MacBooks, Apple offers an abysmal 720p web camera on MacBooks. Instead of that, you can always use your iPhone or Android phone’s front or rear camera as a webcam on Mac. Both the App Store and Google Play Store are filled with such apps to convert your phone into webcam on Mac. Among those apps, EpocCam is perhaps one of the best offerings from Kinoni (its parent company)....

Google Photos calls it a Movie in the app. That said, you can make videos out of photos only in mobile apps. There is no option to create one on the Google Photos web. Google reserves advanced functions to edit videos for the Google One subscribers. Thankfully, it does not apply to making movies/videos in the app. Without further ado, let’s create an awesome video in Google Photos. Use Google Photos to Make a Video For this post, we used both the iPhone and Android Google Photos app to create a video....

I tried it in school, college, and what little time I spent in an accounting firm. It never worked the way I wanted it to. More importantly, I never “got it”. I now have tremendous respect for people who deal with the Office suite day in and day out, because believe me, it ain’t easy. As much as I dislike MS Office’s implementation of mail merge, I do get its appeal....

The biggest challenge is to rearrange the elements after you make a small change in the timeline. The gap that the video created while you trimmed it needs to be filled, and manually selecting the media files and moving them on the editing timeline can be tough. Also, if there’s more than one edit you are trying to make, you can imagine the kind of mess it might create. Trying out Ripple Editing is your best bet in such scenarios, And before we see how you can carry it out in Sony Vegas Pro, let me quickly tell you what it is and how it can be useful....

One such way SoundCloud users can promote their music is through SoundCloud Groups. It’s one of the lesser known features of SoundCloud, but Groups allow anyone to submit their music to an audience with similar interests and taste. It boosts your own visibility and lets you discover new uploads from the community at the same time. You can even create your own groups. Join and Submit to a SoundCloud Group Important: First, familiarize yourself with the SoundCloud groups that already exist, and which ones you’d fit comfortably inside of....

The blunder I did was that I forgot to copy the ROM flashable zip file and flashed the boot.img file using Recovery and when I realized it, it was too late and my phone was already in a boot loop. So let’s see how I managed to resolve the boot loop issue, but before we proceed any further, always remember that even if your phone is in boot loop, you can always boot in bootloader mode by holding down both power and down volume key simultaneously till you see the recovery screen....

This is the case with the OFW 3.36 for PS Vita, which allows players to run the latest version of TN-V, the most popular PSP emulator. However, while installing and running TN-V11 is a fairly straightforward affair as long as you have any of the required exploit games and follow this tutorial, there are issues with the OFW 3.36 and later versions that prevent the proper installation and execution of game emulators and other homebrew if installed in the traditional way....

All too often, I’ve found the Notes app crashing with no warning whatsoever. Of course, whatever that I work on is automatically saved to iCloud, but it’s disconcerting to know that it’s bound to crash when I’m in the middle of some serious note-taking. While Apple has patched a ton of iOS 11 bugs, the Notes app continues to give grief to lots of people. But, there are still a number of troubleshooting techniques that you can use to temporarily — or hopefully permanently — fix things up....

Get LastPass Let’s see if Bitwarden does a better job, or LastPass is still the better alternative....

smartphone as good as a PSP and all they want to do is play games. However, after a few failed experiences in which kids accidently called my friends or opened the photos in the gallery , I refrained from handing over my phone to them. They started hating me, but there was nothing much I could do about it until I found Kids Place for Android. Kids Place for Android can be considered as an Android-specific parental control app using which you can restrict the activities of your kids either on their Android devices or on yours which you hand over to them, mostly to play games....

Around 9.5 million users were sent emails from the company warning about a potential breach in one of their databases which consisted of basic information of a majority of their users like contact info and the courses being viewed. Lynda has reset the passwords of the compromised accounts and alerted the users of the change. Security issues such as these might not seem quite welcoming to Microsoft, who had recently acquired Linkedin and its subsidiaries in a bid surplus of $26 billion....

What you want to do is create an awesome video with transition effects, music in the background and maybe text on screen to narrate what’s going on. We’ve got these powerful mini-computers in our pockets, it would be great if we could just do it all on our iPhones. Of course, it’s not like there are no apps that do this. I’ve tried many. But there’s always something wrong with them....
