Just follow these simple steps:

1. If you have your video saved in iPhoto, select it and from the menu choose File > Reveal in Finder. If you have the video saved anywhere else, navigate to it in the Finder and select it.
2. Open the video from the Finder with the application Quicktime. Make sure you have the latest version of Quicktime.
3. Using the scrobble bar or play/pause button to navigate to the position of which you want a still image.
4. Now choose Edit > Copy from the menu bar.
5. Now open up the Preview application. From the menu bar choose New from Clipboard.
6. Now save the image anywhere you like. You can then import it to your iPhoto library by simply dragging the saved image to the iPhoto icon in the dock.
7. You can now close both Quicktime and Preview.

This is all you have to do. Good luck!

This tutorial will show you how you can setup Mail on iPhone or iOS 5 in such a way that you can use Googlemail via IMAP and send emails masked with your custom address.

1. Before we can get started you need to get some login information from your custom email address provider. What we need are the outgoing mail server details, or in short, SMTP details. Here is exactly what you need:
   • Host Name: (like smtp.godaddy.com)
   • Username: (usually your custom email address)
   • Password: (for the above custom email address)

   Don’t panic about these details. They are usually written quite conveniently somewhere in the FAQ of your custom domain provider. Just search for SMTP.

2. Now Let’s get started. Open your iPhone and go into the Settings application. From there, navigate to the Mail, Contacts, Calendars tab and add a new account. Select Googlemail and enter your details.

   

3. A new account has now been created. Now reselect the newly created account. We will now have to edit the outgoing mail server settings. So tap on the SMTP button..

   

4. Then tap on Add Server…. Now enter the details from step 1. Turn on SSL if you like, but then enter the password. You can usually ignore the Port numbers. The iPhone will now verify the information. If it fails, you must have entered the wrong SMTP details. Then turn the server on.
   

   

5. This is it. Test if it works – but it should.

However! For some reason Googlemail allows the option to manage labels separately in it’s web interface and in whatever mail application you are using. I find this very annoying. So if you want Mail on iPhone to not add randomly Sent Messages or Trash labels to your emails, you need to change one last setting.
Go back into the account settings. Tap on Advanced. In Mailbox Behaviors make sure all options behave after the labels on the server. Not on the iPhone.

There are a lot of websites selling these gift cards with any face value from 10$ to 200$ and eBay is also bursting with them.

JerryCards stands out as one of the most secure and easiest services. You buy via PayPal and get the code emailed within seconds. Some websites turn out to be scams or waste time emailing you the code. So JerryCards is a real jewel – especially because they sell Netflix and Xbox gift cards as well!

The main problem with these resellers, including JerryCards, is that they add a hefty percentage (around 15%) to the face value that you purchase. Though I am afraid this is the only way, unless you know someone in the US who can mail you codes all the time.

Fortunately, there is a way to get rid of that folder. Follow these simple instructions to hide your Microsoft Office User Data folder forever.

Option A: If you just want to hide the folder and not bother about it still sitting in the documents folder, then one short terminal command will do it.

1. Make a backup of the Microsoft User Data folder sitting in your documents folder. Just in case.
2. Open up the application Terminal. Paste the following command line into Terminal and hit enter:

   chflags hidden ~/Documents/Microsoft\ User\ Data

   That is all you have to do to hide the annoying folder.

Option B (recommended): Hiding the folder does not change the fact that the user data is still saved in the documents folder. Saving the data in a proper place is more professional and better. Here’s how:

1. Make a backup of the Microsoft User Data folder. Just in case.
2. Open a new Finder window and navigate to the following folder:

   Username/Library/Application Support/Microsoft

   If the Microsoft folder does not exist, go ahead and create it.

3. Now place the original Microsoft User Data folder (from your documents folder) into library folder:

   Username/Library/Application Support/Microsoft

4. Right click on the Microsoft User Data folder and create an alias of it. Move the alias folder to the documents folder. Once moved, rename the alias to Microsoft User Data. This is to make Microsoft Office think this is the actual folder it is looking for.
5. Now open up the application Terminal and run the following command:

   chflags hidden ~/Documents/Microsoft\ User\ Data

6. Now the newly created alias should have disappeared from the documents folder. The actual user data is saved in the library folder and everyone is happy.

Just in case: If you want to unhide the folder, just reverse the command:

chflags nohidden ~/Documents/Microsoft\ User\ Data

And for those having problems:

• Make sure you have copied the Terminal command correctly. One missing space ruins it all.
• If you run Microsoft Office and/or Mac OS X in a language other than english, you need to change the path in the command to suit the different file structure. For example, if you run Mac OS X in german, you need to change Documents to Dokumente.
• If the folder you are trying to hide has spaces, they need to be escaped for the command. That means you place a backslash \ in front of every space.
• For any other problems, post in the comments section.

Follow any of these instructions at your own risk.

Thanks to Richthomas for sharing the hint.

Before we get started, you need your new icon. You can either create one yourself or download one from sites such as MacThemes. If you do create your own, make sure the icon is in the format that Apple requires it to be. A quick Google search should help out on that.

Once you have your icon, you can start adding it to the app of your choice:

1. Start by downloading the iPhone Explorer. This free tool allows you to access and change files on your iOS device. So we will be needing this to change the icons.
2. Plug your iOS device into your computer and open up iPhone Explorer. Then navigate to your apps .app folder. If, for example, you want to change the icon of Skype, you would navigate to the following path:

   Devicename/Apps/Skype/Skype.app/

   Here is an example screenshot:

   

3. In this folder (I.e.: Skype.app) look for two files named Icon.png and Icon@2x.png. The first icon is a smaller version and for devices without a retina display (old iPhones etc.). The second icon is for the iPhone 4.

   Select these two files and drag them to somewhere in your Finder to create a backup. Before you start wondering, the preview on these icons does not work.

4. Now delete these two icon files from the iOS device using the Delete button in the iPhone Explorer.
   Back in the Finder, rename your replacement icons to Icon.png and Icon@2x.png. Make sure they are in a .png file format. Then copy them into the .app folder (the same folder where you just deleted the two original icons).
5. Now eject your iOS device and restart it. You can do that by holding the home and hold button for a few seconds. Once the iPhone is restarted, you should have your new icon:
