2015 was a great year for apple, Apple successfully released their largest ever iPad, 12.9″ iPad pro with a number of improvements over the predecessor including faster processor, better speakers and the all new pencil-stylus which changed the way people looked at the iPad series. 2016 included the launch of yet 2 new iPads which in other words were smaller versions of the original iPad Pro. Apple AirPods were also released in December 2016.

As the year 2017 progresses, the curiosity as to what Apple brings to the table is only intensifying day by day, would there be just one iPad release? Or would there be two variants released this year? Nonetheless we’re sure Apple will definitely not miss the chance to debut their new iPad along with the new iPhone to make the iPhone’s 10th anniversary somewhat special.

Here is what we can expect the iPad Pro 2 to bring us,

Design

We hardly doubt Apple would change the body design for iPad Pro 2, previous models have had a similar sleek metal design and we’re not sure if Apple would want to change that. But nonetheless we might see some of the design features of the iPhone 7 in the iPad Pro 2. Not much has surfaced around regarding the iPad Pro 2’s design language but we can expect a lighter and slimmer version. But then again Apple might just surprise us, we never know.

iPad Pro 2’s Screen & Power

The iPad Pro 2 would share the same 12.9″ screen size as the iPad Pro, but chances are Apple might also release the other two variants, including smaller screen sizes of 9.7″ & 10.5″.

Rumors suggest that Apple might remove the home button and replace it with a virtual 3D button which means less bezel and more screen. Nonetheless the iPad Pro 2 would also include the True Tone display from the iPad Pro which adjusts the color temperature depending upon the light conditions you’re under. As a result you see a vivid and clear image irrespective of the light conditions.

Last but not the least Apple might also include the 3D touch which was debuted in the iPhone 6s & iPhone 6s plus. But then again let’s see what happens.

Camera and Battery

There’s not much knowledge regarding the camera of the new iPad but so far, rumors suggest that Apple might stick with the same 12mp back and 5mp front camera as the iPad Pro. However chances of Apple adding a dual lens on the new iPad like on the iPhone 7 plus looks prominent which would help with low-light imaging.

The battery size may or may not be consistent for all the variants of the iPad Pro 2. Definitely Larger sizes would come with a larger battery but then again let’s see what Apple settles for.

RAM and Processor

The iPad Pro 2 would include a new powerful A10X processor which would definitely be a lot lot faster than the iPad Pro. If nothing else, Apple never fails to make their new product faster and more reliable than the older ones. Apple might also increase the RAM but since the iPad Pro’s 4GB RAM handles the multitasking smoothly, we hardly expect to see increased RAM in the newer iPad.

Pricing & release date

We expect the iPad Pro 2 to release somewhere near the late first quarter or in the middle of second quarter of 2017. With all the rumored technology and improvements, the new iPad wouldn’t be too cheap to lay hands upon, with rumors of additional colors, the new iPad would set you back easily around $800. So all the Apple fanboys out there, start saving now.

What is iTunes error 3194?

The error shows up when you connect your iPhone/iPad to restore or update your device. If you’re using a jailbreak device, you’re more likely to be faced with the issue. Since the device is modified by third party, the iTunes fails to connect the device to Apple servers and instead connects it to Cydia servers.

How to fix the iTunes error 3194 on Mac/Windows.

Step 1. Close/Quit the iTunes on your Mac or Windows

Step 2. Search for the host files.
⁃ For Mac users:  /etc/hosts

⁃ For Window users: c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Step 3. Open the host files.

Step 4. Search for the entry “74.208.105.171 gs.apple.com” under the last line of host files.

Step 5. If the line is present then comment out the line by adding # before the 74.

Step 6. If the line is not present then edit and add the line “74.208.105.171 gs.apple.com”

Step 7. Save the changes to the host files and connect your device to iTunes.

Step 8. Once your iOS is updated, go back to the host files and remove the line “74.208.105.171 gs.apple.com” so that the iTunes can function as normal without popping up any future errors.

This should allow you to update or restore your device.

In case you’re trying to downgrade your phone which may not be possible depending on the version of the firmware you’ve downloaded.

For a normal restore, follow these steps;

Step 1. Connect your device to the iTunes and then power it off.

Step 2. Put your device into DFU mode by pressing and holding the power button for a solid ten seconds.

Step 3. Release the power button after 10 seconds but not the home button, continue holding it. iTunes will show a message telling you to restore your device.

These steps muse be performed if iTunes does not connect. The iTunes will tell you to restore your device so make sure you have backup in iCloud.

Disable antivirus or proxy shield.

If you don’t have any entry for the “gs.apple.com” under the host files then it’s most probably the antivirus software or VPN on your computer preventing the iTunes from connecting to Apple servers.

Unable to update or downgrade?

You might face the error “This device isn’t eligible for the requested build” in an attempt to update or downgrade your device using the firmware file Apple has unauthorized.

Try using a different PC

Last but not the least if none of the above solutions worked for you, try using a different PC with a different but better connection.

iPhone 5s was the first Apple device to hold the fingerprint unlock technology. However newer models (iPhone 6s and other devices released that year) were incorporated with a second generation Touch ID which helped better recognize your fingerprint.

However as much of a utility the “Touch ID” is; some users encounter problems with unlocking their devices using the fingerprint sensor.
If you’re one of those users curious to solve the daily struggle, here are a few hacks and solutions that might help you get through it,

Clean the greasy home button

Most of the time it’s the dirt or the greasy home button that prevents the touch sensor beneath the button to recognize your fingerprint and unlock. When you lay down your finger on the home button, the sensor beneath it pictures your finger print and reads it, if it’s similar to the one you’ve saved, it opens right up. While this is a simple process, the greasy home button makes it complicated, the sensor fails to read your fingerprint and you end up reading the “Try Again” notification.

Delete and save your fingerprint again

So you’ve cleaned up the home button and your hands are clean and dried but the Touch ID is still not working?
Why not try the “did you turn it off and on again” Trick.

Restoring your fingerprints is a simple hack that works like a charm, all you have to do is delete your current fingerprint(s) and save it again. This gets rid of the lag and the faulty recognition.

Update your iOS

If you’ve tried all the hacks mentioned above but you’re still at square one, don’t worry we’ve a solution for that too. Most of the time it’s the old software that causes the lag and delayed recognition, if you find your device delaying recognition right after a major update release (new iOS release) it’s more than likely the current software causing the problem. However monthly updates of the same version of iOS removes the bugs of the previous version and can greatly increase the chances of setting your sensor to default sensitivity.

Delayed recognition?

This is not a fault. This problem is usually faced by the users using devices with first generation Touch ID. While you’d expect an iPhone 6s to unlock faster than the iPhone 5s, competing them against each other would be unfair since the iPhone 6s is incorporated with a second generation Touch ID as compared to the first generation Touch ID incorporated in the 5s, so a margin of delay is fairly allowed. However if you have an iPhone 5s which delays the recognition beyond normal, a case of damaged Touched Sensor might be possible. For that, you have to;

Get your fingerprint sensor repaired

So you’ve performed all of the hacks above and the problem still persists? Then you have a damaged Touch ID sensor. Reasons causing that are;

1. Dropping your device roughly.
2. Broken home button.
3. Liquid invasion.
4. Repair by an unprofessional tech.
5. Open or refurbished device

Since dropping your device might not always break the fingerprint sensor, the rest of the factors can seriously affect your phone. If you’ve bought your device from an Apple certified retailer, You can have it checked and repaired by them for free if it’s still in warranty.

If you’ve bought a used phone, the factors (2), (4) & (5) are more likely to cause the problem. To solve the issue, you can get your device repaired by a professional tech who knows about Apple devices since Apple does not repair devices that have been already repaired by 3rd party techs. We although recommend you to always buy your device and get a repair from certified Apple retailers but in case of a refurbish or an already-repaired device, finding a professional technician can solve your problem too.

Comment below if any of the hacks worked for you or you have any suggestions.

The post Touch ID Not Working On iPhone? – Here is How to Fix It appeared first on Coming More.

Despite a few small issues like the removal of headphone jack and the use of similar body design as iPhone 6, the iPhone 7 is still in a league of it’s own with it’s class unmatched and as perfect as we expected it to be.

Here is what’s new about the iPhone 7,

Two new colors

Apple introduced two colors, gold and rose gold in 5s & 6s respectively with the white bezel, it was about time Apple decided to give some attention to black bezel too, and with iPhone 7, they have done exactly that. Apple introduced two new colors, “jet black” & “Matte black” which look absolutely beautiful and mesmerizing. Furthermore, the jet black iPhone comes with one of a kind “black box” unlike the other colors which come with the standard white box, which makes the jet black iPhone feel like a collector’s item.

Changes in body design

Although the iPhone 7 shares much of the body design with iPhone 6, Apple however made a couple tweaks to distinguish the iPhone 7 from it’s elder brother.

With first being removing the antenna bands from the back of the iPhone unlike the iPhone 6, the antenna bands only cover the top and the bottom of the aluminum body.

Secondly Apple made the camera larger than the iPhone 6, which we’re not sure if it has anything to do with the performance or was it only for appeal. The bigger camera surely looks beautiful, as far as we know.

Apple also removed the button and replaced it with a virtual button that works the same way the button used to do however instead of hearing the sound when the button is pressed, you only feel a vibration.

More storage

If you are that type of person who has thousands of photos and videos and want to capture every moment & every adventure of your life on your iPhone, but you realize that all of a sudden 128gb isn’t enough for you!
Don’t worry, Apple has that figured out. Unlike the iPhone 6 & 6s which has a base storage capacity of 16GB, the iPhone 7 offers 32GB as base storage. Not only that, the iPhone 7 offers twice the memory storage than the iPhone 6s. Yes, iPhone 7 offers 256GB of storage so forget receiving that “Storage full” notifications.

Water resistant

Apple made the iPhone 7 water resistant which is by far the first iPhone to feature this. Now you can finally go out and make those videos in rain or a video of you swimming with your friends. However Apple still recommends to dry out the phone and wait for a couple minutes before plugging it for charging after contact with water.

What’s new?

The new iPhone is not just all cool and for show, underneath all the cool features mentioned above lies an Apple A10 Fusion chip which is 40% faster than the A9 chip used in the iPhone 6s. That’s a pretty decent improvement over a period of one year. The iPhone 7 packs the same 2GB RAM as the iPhone 6s,

However the iPhone 7 has a 2GB RAM, a dual lens camera and a low light imaging camera all set to give you the best photo possible. The iPhone 7 also offers a larger battery (1960mAh) as compared to the iPhone 6s (1715mAH).

All over, iPhone 7 is a huge improvement over the iPhone 6s, but the similar body design and removal of headphone jack at some point contradicts the iPhone 7’s superiority over the iPhone 6s.

Like any other wireless headphones, AirPods work in the same way. Whenever you pull the AirPods out of the case, they turn on and automatically pair with your apple device (if the Bluetooth is turned on and the device is recognized) however to make the experience more fun, apple has allowed the W1 chip in the headphones to identify simple gestures to pause, play, or attend a call using the wireless Bluetooth headphones.

All thanks to the W1 chip, you don’t just get better connectivity, you get a whole new music experience of flawless sound with every beat perfectly clear and audible.

How to charge the AirPods?

The AirPods have a battery timing of only 5 hours. So if you’re a music enthusiast; this may seem much of hassle than convenience. Especially if you’re thinking of replacing your standard headphones with the new Bluetooth AirPods. But this is just the beginning of new wireless era, and we’re pretty sure Apple would make changes to the specifications as the time passes.
Nonetheless, AirPods come with a charging and storing case. To charge your AirPods, all you have to do is put in the AirPods in the case. Simple. Apple, Knowing that this might not always be convenient for the users, the storing case has a battery of it’s own that lasts up to 24 hours.

The problem of duplicate contacts usually arises when you use third-party apps like Facebook, Gmail or Outlook to import contacts to your iPhone. If there is a little difference in name or other information on one service as compared to the one you have locally stored in your phone then you are probably going to have that same contact twice. Now imagine you have tried to attempt contacts from 3 or 4 different services and end up having same contact repeated 3,4 times. If you don’t have similiar contacts in all apps then there might be only couple of duplicate contacts and you easily remove them one by one. But if there are a lot of duplicate contacts then this may be a headache to remove them manually.

This guide will show you how to remove duplicate contacts manually or use a cleaner app to get the work done a little faster.

Manually Remove Duplicate Contacts:

If you have just couple of duplicate contacts then removing them manually is better instead of installing some apps or using other methods.

First go to your contact list and enter the duplicate contact name.

Just click on one of the contacts (as the other data like phone number will be identical so it will make no difference which one gets deleted) and then tap on “Edit” button in the top right corner.

On the Edit screen scroll down to the bottom and tap on “Delete Contact” option.

A popup will appear, tap it once more to confirm the removal of contact.

Fix Duplicate Contacts using Cleaner App:

The above method will work fine if you just have a handful of duplicate contacts, but if you have lot of friends, family, coworkers contacts and happen to use the import option of multiple apps having the same contacts like Gmail, Yahoo or Facebook then you may want to look for a cleaner app to get the work done.

There are a lot of cleaner apps out there but you can download the one we recommend from here.

Its basic version is free of charge and it can also look for the missing information that you have forgotten to fill. The contacts which have some missing information like names, numbers, email address are flagged so you will be able to go through each contact and easily clean them or edit them if you like.

The app also offers the option to filter contacts in categories like Recently Added, Upcoming birthdays or the contacts having the same company or job title.

Now lets use this app to clean up your duplicate contacts with a single push of a button.

Open the app and sign in using either your Facebook or Google account.

After signing in you will have the option to backup all contacts so you can have your contacts back in case something went wrong in the cleaning process.
You can either save the backup file to Cleaner account or email it your email address. We will highly recommend that you should have backup of all your contacts before you go further from here.

After the backup is done the app will automatically start scanning your contact list and will present you with a list of contacts having duplicate information. You will be able to look at all details of the duplicate contacts and then decide whether you want to keep both contacts or want to delete or merge them. You can tap on preview to see what the contact will look like aftre merging.

If you find more than ten duplicate contacts then to simultaneously merge all of them instead of doing one by one you will have to buy the pro version of the app which will cost you just $1.99.

That was all from our side. We hope you will find this infromation useful. Do share with us some other methods if they have worked for you.

Deleting an app from the Apple Watch will not delete that app from iPhone. You will be able to use that app on iPhone and can reinstall it on your watch if needed. If you want to get rid of an app completely then you have to delete them separately from both your watch and iPhone.

1. Go to Apple Watch home screen (if you are not already there) by clicking the Digital Crown.

2. Find the app which you want to delete and tap and hold on the app icon.

4. A popup will appear, tap on the Delete App to confirm.

Keep in minde that you will not be able to delete stock apps like Maps, Photos etc.

How to Hide Apps using Apple Watch app from iPhone:
