Apple has released a newly updated version of its Find My Friends app with an iOS 7-inspired redesign.

Despite all you can do with an iOS device, certain features that are standard on a Mac or PC have been elusive on Apple’s smartphones and tablets. With iOS 7, however, it looks like we can cross one of those omissions off the list: You can now unzip and view compressed files from within Mail. Originally, iOS flat-out ignored zip files—if you received one in an email or viewed it on the web, it showed up as an unrecognized file type, and that was that. But in iOS 4, Apple added the “Open In” function, which let you use third-party apps to open files that the OS couldn’t handle. This let programs like GoodReader handle file unzipping and dealing with other unrecognized document types, but it wasn’t perfect—try explaining to your tech unsavvy friend or family member that they need to download a specific app to open a file. iOS 7 elegantly addresses this problem: Now, when you receive a compressed file in Mail, tapping on it will unzip the file and present it as a series of docume...

The we teach.  First images of Mate 7 Compact  What would this new Huawei Mate 7 Compact? Well as you can see in the images, quite similar to Huawei Mate 7 standard as far as design is concerned, including the metal case, it seems, although yes it is possible to see changes in the shape and location of the speakers in the front and even on the back cover.  The similarity with the Huawei Mate 7 however, was taken for granted, being the big question actually much smaller the model “compact”, since the first 6 inches leave a fairly wide range of possibilities.

Day in day out, people use Apples iMessage service to get in touch and sending of messages. It becomes very easy to totally rely on this means of communication if all friends are iPhone users. consequently it can become very frustrating and alarming if one cant get messages sent through iMessage as its the case lately after iOS 7 upgrade.

Go to Settings/Messages and then check if the phone number and Apple ID mail address displayed is actually the right one. 2. Sign out of the Apple ID and then sign in back or sign in with a totally different Apple ID if you have another one. 3.
