How do I save a video that someone has sent me onto my iPhone or iPad?

If you receive a video in an email on your iPad or iPhone, it is very easy to save it to your device for future viewing.   (Note that the same process applies when you want to save a photo to your device.)

There are two methods you can use to save the attached video.

Method 1:  Touch and Hold Method

Step 1. Touch and hold on the video attachment in your email
Picture
Step 2. From the list of options that appears, choose 'Save Video'
Picture

From the 'Share' option

Step 1: Tap the Share option (curved arrow)
Picture
Step 2:  Tap on Save Video
Picture

Picture
Using either of these methods, your video will be saved to the Photos app.  

To find it, tap the Photos app, go to your Albums, and tap on Videos.

If you need more information, leave a comment below.

Track Santa's journey this Christmas on your iPad or iPhone

Picture
Big sigh.  All those years of tracking Santa's journey are, sadly, now over in this household, with my children all too old to be interested.  

I even had to threaten to take 4 advent calendars hostage to get my children to show any interest in putting up the Christmas tree!  Only the potential loss of those poor quality daily chocolates rallied their enthusiasm and got our Christmas tree in place.

In saying that, my youngest (at 11) is still saying he is a believer in the fat, jolly man - I suspect just so that he can still receive a 'Santa' present in his stocking!

But I doubt that a Santa Tracker app will feature in the set of apps on his iPad.

Anyway, for those of you who still have the magic of Christmas in your home, with little ones super-excited about Santa's arrival next week, here are some gorgeous iPad and iPhone apps that will allow you to track Santa's preparations and global journey this Christmas.  

Merry Christmas!

App Suggestions
  • Norad Tracks Santa (free)
  • Where is Santa (lite) - Santa Tracker (free)
  • Google Santa Tracker (free)
  • Santa Tracker Lite (free)

Articles:
  • Santa-tracking apps, ranked
  • Track Santa on your iPhone or iPad with these apps

A new scam email with a different 'flavour'!

Picture
Here's another scam email that I received today, one that has a different 'flavour'.  

Instead of asking me to click a link or open a file, it is 'simply' asking me to provide some identity documentation for an 'order' that I have placed.

The main reason I looked twice at this one is that I had very recently visited the Kogan website looking at online gift ideas, and at first glance thought that one of the orders I placed may have been with Kogan.

Of course, this is absolutely a scam - probably looking to get drivers license and utility identity papers for something like bank fraud or to arrange mobile phones contracts.

Once again, NEVER give out any of your personal, identity, account, password of financial information based on an email you have received.

What about some iPad board games for Christmas?

Picture
The below article comes from Macworld UK.

Can't say I've tried any of these games, but what a great idea some multi-player fun involving the iPad.

Let me know if you end up getting any, and what you think of them.

A great Christmas gift idea for Apple fans

Picture
My family LOVES our Apple TV.  In fact, we have two!  

I use one when running my iTandCoffee classes, to project my iPad's screen up onto a big TV screen.

Just last night we rented the movie 'Guardians of the Galaxy' using our Apple TV, and watched that together on our family room TV.

But just before we did that, I showed my family a video that I had seen on Facebook, that shows how to really, really easily put a quilt cover onto your quilt.  

From my iPhone, I 'airplayed' the Facebook video (via our Wi-Fi network) to the TV screen for us all to watch.

(Check out that amazing video here!  I can't believe I had never seen this before!)

Are you wondering if the Apple TV has a place in your home?  For me, the relatively low price tag of only $109 (sometimes less on sale) made that decision easy. Here are a couple of articles that might help you decide for yourself.

  • How Airplay makes Apple TV a great gift idea for Mac and iOS fans
  • The Ultimate Apple TV Guide: Tips, Tricks and How-To

I can't believe no-one ever taught me this essential life skill!

This post is totally unrelated to technology.  But it is very relevant to mummies (and others, of course)!

How come I never knew this before.  I have struggled all my life to put quilt covers back onto quilts, and could have been following this amazingly easily procedure instead!

Watch here and be amazed!  Just click the below image to see the Facebook clip.

An exciting workflow/automation app for iPhone / iPad geeks like me!

Picture
A rather large squeal of excitement on a Sunday morning!
(Sad, I know. My husband is looking at me with that 'oh dear, you are a such geek' look!)  

I have just downloaded and tried out a brand new app called Workflow that makes use of the great new features of iOS 8.

I know it will come in sooooo handy for all sorts of things I haven't even imagined yet!  If you are a geek like me, check it out.  It is discounted by 40% for a limited time a a launch special ($3.29 currently).

Workflow allows you to create 'workflows' on your iOS device to perform a series of actions/steps with just one touch.  You can set these workflows up as apps on your home screen, or as 'extensions' to other apps.  (Check out this iTandCoffee article about some great App Extensions for the Photos app.)

For example, you can create a 'mail merge' (select a group of contacts and send them individual emails personally addressed to each individual), save all the photos from a web page, edit multiple images, make animated gifs (this one is the one I am sure I will use the most), and so, so much more.  

Here is the article that I read about Workflow this morning:  Workflow for iOS aims to simplify automation of complex multi-step tasks                                                                

And, here is how Workflow is described in the App Store (click here to see Workflow in the App Store).

"Workflow is your personal automation tool, enabling you to drag and drop any combination of actions to create powerful workflows.

Workflow includes over 100 actions, including those for Contacts, Calendar, Maps, Music, Photos, Camera, Reminders, Safari, AirDrop, Twitter, Facebook, Dropbox, Evernote, and iCloud Documents, to name a few.

For example, you can use Workflow to:
* Make animated GIFs
* Add a home screen icon that calls a loved one 
* Make PDFs from Safari or any other app
* Get directions to the nearest coffee shop in one tap
* Tweet the song you're listening to
* Get all of the images on a web page
* Send a message including the last screenshot you took
* And so much more...

Your workflow creations can be launched from inside the Workflow app or from other apps using Workflow's Action Extension. You can even export a workflow as a standalone app on your home screen."
