6c8f1 iOS 6 Thumb How to Reset or Disable AutoFill in iOS

While the iOS AutoFill feature is useful for many purposes – such as automatically entering your logins or filling our forms – over time the AutoFill database can become inaccurate, causing frustration when browsing the web on your iOS device. If your iOS device is shared with other people, there are also privacy considerations to think about.

Fortunately, Apple provides a simple way to reset the AutoFill database so you can start fresh, or even disable AutoFill if you’re worried about security. To adjust AutoFill preferences, launch Settings on your iOS device, and open the Safari pane. Next, navigate to the AutoFill section. From here, you can clear your AutoFill database by tapping Clear All under Names and Passwords.

To take things one step further and disable AutoFill entirely, simply switch the Use Contact Info and Names and Passwords toggle switches to the Off position, and iOS will no longer prompt you to save information or logins, and will stop auto-filling logins and forms.

That’s all there is to it! Enjoy!

103cf MyTime MyTime Brings an Interesting Concept that Makes Appointments and Services as Easy as Amazon

Need a haircut, an oil change and a massage? Don’t know where to go, or even where to start? Wouldn’t it be sweet if you could get the scheduling and research for all these errands done quickly, with one centralized tool?

Phew: A new website now makes scheduling all of your appointments in one place possible. MyTime is a new platform that allows users to check everything off of their to-do list in one place.

MyTime partners with local businesses to let you book appointments and get discounts through their site. The platform gives users access to ratings and reviews from other users right on their site and also notifies users of discounts for certain appointment times. The website claims that “booking an appointment and getting services you need is as easy as buying a book on Amazon!”

The concept sounds good, but how did they fare on the execution? I decided to put their claim to the test and see just how easy it really is to book all of your appointments in one place. I asked my girlfriend what she had planned for today, and decided to see how long it would take me to schedule her some appointments. She told me she needed to get her nails done, her teeth whitened, go to yoga and find a handyman to fix the door.

I started my search for these services at 1:10 PM. I finished at 1:16 PM and had everything scheduled that she needed. For $ 204 and six minutes of my time, I was able to check everything off of her to-do list and provide her with 5-star rated companies to do her bidding.

Not only is MyTime convenient, but it is a great way to save money. Had I booked these four services not using MyTime, it would have cost $ 413, according to prices given by calling the offices. So at the end of the day I saved my girlfriend the hassle of having to find all of these places on her own, and $ 209!

Currently, MyTime is only available in Los Angeles. However, they plan on expanding to other major cities around the country in the near future, and their model clearly works. I think MyTime is a smart Internet marketing strategy, and can’t wait until it reaches New York. MyTime saves you time, money and from the headache of booking all your appointments.

d71ee iTunes 11 Thumb How to Add and Edit Song Lyrics in iTunes

Many songs downloaded from the iTunes Store and other sources already include lyrics – but did you know you can add your own lyrics to songs that don’t already have them listed? You can also edit lyrics in iTunes just as easily, and the entire process is extremely simple.

First, launch iTunes, and locate the song you’d like to add or edit the lyrics of. Then, right-click or option click that song, select Get Info, and navigate to the Lyrics tab. You can now add lyrics if there aren’t any there, or edit lyrics if there are! If you sync your music library through iTunes, the lyrics will even sync to your iOS devices so you can see thy lyrics as the track plays (by tapping the album art as a track plays in the iOS Music app) – although unfortunately, as far as I can tell, there’s no way to sync lyrics using iTunes Match.

That’s all there is to it! Enjoy!
