Transfering Media To IDevices – The Easy Way

Tweet

Hi buddies.
Am back  for one another very informative and useful post specially for those who possess  I O S devices.
All of us have usedSymbian phones, and probably android phones also.
Even, many a times some sort of mini music players also.
How easy is  to just copy the  media  in there device’s respective folders  and just start using instently?
But what if you have  an IPhone, IPod or IPad?
Whether you like it or not, you have to deal with iTune  .
First you add the media to itune’s library, then you synk the device. You like it or not, but  you are left with no option.
O god, its so frustrating!.
The same thing happened with me a few days back when I wanted to change the music in my Iphone.
So here I found a solution that is became so easy!
Yes. Perhaps  even better then the way we do for non-I O S devices?
There is a feature in itunes that many people knows, but many (like me), wasn’t aware.
What it does that,  if you have configured  this feature,  it automatically add the media  to the iTunes library and whenever you connect the device to the computer, or synk threw vi-fi, it does its job itself.
and transfer the media to the device without your intervention.
Believe me! Its so simple! .
What you are suppose to do, just copy  the  media in the automatically  add to itune folder. The folder is found  in following location,
C:\Users\sony\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\
Here “sony” is refer to your main user folder that  we usually access from desktop.
Basically its located in to your user folder, go to your user folder and find “my music” folder , and there you’ll find Itunes media folder.
Here look for the folder “automatically add to itunes” folder and paste the media there.
Now what?
Now whenever you’ll access itunes, it’ll transfer the music to the needful location and will also add this to your itunes library.
Note, if the file type you have copied to this folder is not supported by the Itunes,  will be transferred to not added folder inside the automatically add to itunes folder.
Now, If you have enabled automatic synking with your device,
Just plug in, and wait for synk to complete...
And it’ll do its magic…!
 it so easy, isnt it?

confusing! Why my harddrive space is less then i thought?

Tweet

hi everyone,
here comes another great artical i just finished reading.
before reading this artical,
even i didnt have the exact explanation that where actually the free space goes?
for example, when i bought my 500gb external harddisk,  i always use to think that why its shows 465gb free space while its a 500gb harddisk?
wel, here is a nice and easy to understand explanation,
read on the artical:
It’s a common question, “Why do I have less space on my hard drive than I thought?” Now that multi-terabyte drives are common, this question may not seem important to some but the increased use of SSDs and partitioned drives makes it very relevant. Here are some answers.
Different ways of measuring disk size
To begin with, you may start out with the perception of less space than you thought because of the difference between the way that manufacturers label disk sizes and the way that computers measure size. It has to do with decimal-based numbers versus binary-based numbers. Disk manufacturers use the system 1 kilobyte=1000 bytes. Computer systems use 1 kilobyte=1024 bytes. The discrepancy between the two systems grows with disk size. A 500 GB drive will be read by the operating system to have only about 466 GB. Of course, the bytes haven’t gone anywhere. A byte is still a byte but the different ways of measuring size can cause confusion.
Perceptions aside, there are many real ways that disk space gets used up  even when you don’t put any files of your own on a disk.
NTFS file system overhead
First of all, Windows systems likely have the file system NTFS and this file system comes with overhead. It stores file information in something called the Master File Table (MFT), which in its default configuration can occupy as much as 12.5% of free disk space. The amount that MFT actually uses varies according to your system and usage patterns.  Examples of MFT sizes that I have seen range from a few hundred MB to several GB.
Hidden partitions
In newer systems with Windows 7 or 8, there is likely a hidden partition called the System Reserved Partition. It has no letter and is there to support BitLocker encryption, the boot configuration database, and the Windows Recovery Environment. In Windows 7 it is 100 MB and in Windows 8 it is 350 MB. You can read more about it at this link.
Most PCs also come with a hidden recovery partition that holds a Windows image to be used as a backup for reinstalling the original OEM setup. This partition is typically upwards of 10 GB or more.
Windows system files
Then there is the operating system - about 10 GB for Windows 7 or 8.  But along with the operating system itself, there are a number of accompanying space consumers. Here are some hidden system files to look out for.
There will be a page file whose size usually is 1 to 3 times the size of the installed RAM. It can be adjusted.
If you use hibernation, the Hiberfils.sys file may occupy space equal to size of the installed RAM.
If you have upgraded the operating system, there may be a large backup.
System Restore points – Typically, 3 to 5 percent of the disk but at least 300 MB. Can be adjusted,
It is also worth noting a related situation. It isn't uncommon for a laptop to come with a hard drive partitioned into a C: system volume and a D: data volume with the C: partition being rather small. In this type of setup, there will not be a lot of free space on the C: drive.
And there you have it - some ways your disk space gets used up before you even start.

A closer look at iOS 7.1's accessibility changes By Josh de Lioncourt.

Tweet

Along with CarPlay compatibility and some interface tweaks, Apple addressed several accessibility features in its latest iOS 7 update. Although primarily intended for low-vision users, iOS 7.1 improves features for blind users as well as those with motion impairments.
iOS 7.1 and low-vision users
iOS 7, in general, has been a challenge for low-vision users. Many of the stylistic choices such as transparency and lack of contrast and clearly defined buttons have made iOS difficult for some to see. This is made more challenging because vision is so variable. What works for one low-vision user is unlikely to work for another.
Apple has begun to address this in iOS 7.1 by adding button shapes, more contrast options, and expanding some of the existing options—all found by choosing Settings > General > Accessibility. In general, this is a significant step in the right direction, but there is still much to be done.
access71
iOS 7.1 includes new accessibility features, largely targetted at low-vision users.
One outstanding issue is the lack of consistency with the iOS keyboard. Since it can be displayed as either light or dark—depending on the app or situation—finding a perfect combination of low-vision settings that work for any given user is a study in compromise. This is helped somewhat by the fact that many accessibility settings can be turned on or off with Siri now, but even then users may not find a perfect setting for their needs. An accessibility option to select a static keyboard color scheme would go a long way to addressing this situation.
However, the various settings do interact with each other in different ways and because they do low-vision users should experiment with different combinations to find what works best for them. Hopefully, we will see Apple continue down this path and expand the number of options to help the greatest number of low-vision users.
Changes to VoiceOver
VoiceOver—Apple’s screen reader technology that tells you what’s on the screen and helps you navigate it—has seen some changes as well, though they’re primarily bug fixes and tweaks to improve the overall experience. For example, apps that have recently been updated now announce this status when their icon is touched on the home screen. Safari’s address bar now speaks the URL without having to tap to edit it. VoiceOver plays nicely when other audio is playing. And the VoiceOver voice quality for some voices has been improved slightly.
Using the camera as a trigger
iOS includes an accessibility feature called Switch Control that has allowed those with motor impairments to control device features with an external device—a Bluetooth device, for example. New with iOS 7.1 is the option to use the device’s camera as a switch. Choose General > Accessibility > Switch Control and then tap Switches. Tap Add New Switch and you find Camera as a trigger. Tap Camera and Left Head Movement and Right Head Movement appear as options.
cameraswitch
You can now use your iOS device's built-in camera to trigger actions on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Tap either one and you find a number of switch actions including Tap, Home Button, Notification Center, Siri, and volume controls. Turn on Switch Control and you can cause your device to react to the motions of your head, as picked up by the device’s camera. This essentially expands the number of users in this category who can use an iOS device out of the box by not requiring a separate piece of hardware be connected.
More to come
Apple has made great strides with accessibility in iOS 7.1 but some bugs still remain. It’s clear that low-vision was a serious focus this time, but there is still more work to be done. We’re sure to see more fixes in iOS 8.

havent tried most of them :).
if you know any other accessible application for androide, please let us know threw comment and we'll add it to the list.
here the list goes:
ndtv gaget.
a very good app to watch  news, reviews, vidios  related to technology
ScanLife Barcode and QR Reader
For those of you who can’t afford purchasing gadgets for reading barcodes and identifying certain products, then you might want something less expensive. People who suffer visual impairment can still experience the same technology through the use of an application known as ScanLife Barcode and QR Reader.
The app runs on any Android phone, and it is cheaper than those expensive item readers out there on the market. The app is simple to use and all it needs is for the user to take a picture and let the app do its magic. ScanLife Barcode and QR Reader can read UPC and QR codes. Once a code is scanned, the app reads the embedded string as a QR code. This is certainly useful for people who have a hard time shopping for items or buying stuff due to their impairment.
IDEAL Accessibility Installer
The IDEAL Accessibility Installer, also known as the Platform Access Installer, was designed by Google to be a complete package of Google’s Android Accessibility programs. This app contains packages for blind or visually impaired people that will help them get through with operating their mobile phones. The app features an all-in-one installer that contains TalkBack, KickBack, and SoundBack (TKS) applications.
Google’s TKS applications work great in tandem with Android’s Accessibility Service for individuals who have disabilities. The applications found in the package will add spoken, audible, and vibration feedback to Android devices. Once you install the application, you can find all of the settings in Settings > Accessibility. Just check the ones you need and those applications will run neatly in the background. Download the complete Android Accessibility Service today with the IDEAL Accessibility Installer.

Turn your phone into an instant digital magnifying glass equipped with a flashlight. Magnify by Appd Lab, is an innovative application that helps users see better by using their smartphone. The app is great for reading tiny print, visual impairment, or people who are just too lazy to put their glasses on. The app is handy and can serve a wide array of functions.
Use Magnify in restaurants, movie theaters or places with little or no light at all. For the app to work successfully, keep your phone at a distance of at least 4 inches from an object. There are controls to enhance focus and you can manually turn the flashlight on or off to save battery. The app also supports basic gestures onscreen like double-tap to zoom in or out, single tap to focus, and long-press for turning the light on or off,.
Font Installer Root
One of the hardest challenges for older smartphone users is their tiny screens. Smartphones that have less than 4 inches of screen space will definitely be inconvenient for many users who have problems with their eyesight, especially when such users read texts. There is an application that will solve the problem of tiny font sizes. Font Installer is an app that will enable users to install over hundreds of fonts to their device for better reading.
The catch is that your phone must have root access for the app to work properly. If you managed to get past this requirement, then it’s all systems go for you. You can change the fonts you want on your phone, as well as make them big enough to read. Once a font is picked, it will be applied globally and not just to a single application.
MessagEase Keyboard
MessagEase Keyboard is a smart and fast way to type full text on your Android phone. Users of the application can type lightning-fast messages by using only one hand or just one finger. The app is straightforward so that users don’t need to fight with AutoCorrect. With MessagEase, users can accurately type words as the keyboard has large letters that can easily be seen.
The best part of MessagEase Keyboard is how customizable it is. Users have the power to change the colors, type using a Swype gesture, change the keyboard layout, and even lookup dictionaries to find the right spelling. Users can also change the size, shape, haptic feedback, and many other aspects of the application. It is highly recommended for users who have a hard time typing or seeing some parts of their phone’s screen due to visual impairment.
Classic Text to Speech Engine
Classic Text to Speech Engine
Visually impaired persons usually have a hard time navigating their phone. Whether it’s reading a book or texting someone, they are limited on the things they can do. However, SVOX Mobile Voices made an application that will eliminate the problems of most visually impaired people with the use of the Classic Text to Speech Engine application.
The Classic Text to Speech Engine app is a combination of over 40 male and female voices that supports people by reading out aloud their texts, e-books, translations, and even navigation. The app features voice support in key areas like navigation, as it will keep you guided when you are driving. It also reads aloud your favorite e-book or PDF documents, making it an eye-free application. Not only that, it also helps users with their pronunciation. This classic application installs a TTS engine, making it compatible with other applications, as well.
WalkyTalky

notnav accessibility:
NotNav is an orientation aid for the blind and visually impaired. It's
not for navigation. NotNav was developed by the blind, for the blind.
NotNav announces:
+ the current compass heading
+ street address
+ any nearby cross streets or POI
+ a user defined waypoint.
NotNav uses Android's built in Text To Speech service. NotNav is
optimised for walking. It works less well when driving or on public
transport.
Highlights:
* it's simple to use.
* Works when the phone screen is off and tucked away out of sight in a
 pocket.
* Only announces eight compass points (North, North East, East etc).
* Has intelligible speech and does not continuously interrupt itself with updates.
* Announces cross streets and POI.
* Allows a single waypoint to be set from the current location.
Usage:
* NotNav comes up speaking the compass heading and GPS derived street
 address, cross street, POI or user defined waypoint.
* The heading is only accurate if the phone is held upright in
 portrait mode, with the screen facing you. It works best in a shirt
 pocket.
* The main screen has four large buttons:
"Pause/Play" stops and restarts all announcements.
"Speak last" repeats the last announcement.
"Set/Update waypoint" Saves the current location as a waypoint. When next near this waypoint, NotNav announces 'At waypoint'.
"Settings" brings up the settings screen.
* NotNav continues to work when the screen is switched off, or when another app is in the foreground. To stop NotNav, press the "Pause" button, or use the "back" button from the main screen.
* The Settings screen allows individual announcements to be switched on or off, and allows a Heading offset to be set.
* Heading offset is a number of degrees to add to the heading. This allows the phone to be put in a pocket away from your body's center line and still give accurate headings. I set this to "-30" degrees when placed in my left shirt pocket.
* "Beep on location fix" turns on audio beeps when a GPS fix is received, an address is decoded, or the POI cache is refreshed.

Cross street detection:
Cross streets are detected by projecting points 20 metres to the left and right of the current location. If the street names at those locations differ to the current street, then NotNav considers it a cross/side street and announces it as such. If Google thinks the corner address belongs to the side street, rather than the street you've just arrived on, then the main and cross streets are reversed.
Caution:
Like all such apps, NotNav depends on the quality of the GPS fix, connectivity and Google's data. Any information presented by NotNav may only be approximate.
