Windows 10 on a tablet
This student needed an
APP that would convert his MP4 video that was transferred to this tablet from
his smartphone. He wanted to add titles and captions to the movie made with the
smartphone.
Waking up your computer from Sleep mode
Windows 10 offers a number of features
to keep your computer and data secure. One way the operating system protects
your device from unauthorized access is by keeping it locked on certain events,
including when waking up from sleep.
Comment : After time in this classroom I found if you use a
number password to wakeup your computer, it’s quite fast. And you remain safe
from violators. Also if you use the power schemes and set the Sleep mode to a
good length of time that will also help you to be productive. Below is a link on how to handle this setting.

FACEBOOK Question: How can I save a recipe I find
posted on FB?
Recipes come in so many different formats on facebook. I
love the quick video ones!
If you see the text for a recipe, probably the best thing to
do is to drag across all the text, right click and Copy. Then open Word, or
Wordpad, or anywhere you can paste text. Paste it, then use that software’s
File-Print command.
Did you know you can also save a recipe post so you
can find it easily later? ON each post, you will see a little v down arrow at
the upper right of the recipe post. Click that, then “Save Link” That puts it
in a special ‘saved items’ area in your Facebook. Here is the place in our What
Does This Button Do show where we demonstrated that
Google Account Security
Turn On Two step account verification. Goto Google Account,
login , click on my account. Signin and security. Add a phone that can receive
text messages.
So if a bad actor tries to get into my account, a text
message is sent to your phone. So they are unable to get into your account.
The text message with verification code is sent to your
phone.
IN THE SMARTPHONE
CLASS
We solved many
problems. And thanks for students willing to help “we” discovered ALL our devices have a
General SETTINGS icon that will lead us all to solutions.
The MESSAGING APP was
discussed and used in the work session. The iPhone, iPad and all the Androids
in the room used the same MESSAGING APP.
HOW TO DELETE MULTIPLE
MESSAGES IN A SAMSUNG S4 SMARTPHONE?
One student had not cleaned up his old messages and thus
couldn’t receive any more voice messages. He was using a Samsung S4 mobile -T
phone. He was only able to delete one message at a time. He had to remove several
going back a couple of years. This answer doesn’t address his problem now,
however, you can set your limit of phone messages to receive so you will avoid
exceeding your limit.
I found through
reading the on-line manual ( see the smartphone tab section on this blog ) the answer is to configure the
settings first.
Here are those steps.
Messaging Settings To configure the settings for text
messages, multimedia messages, Voice mails, and Push messages. 1. From the Home
screen, tap . 2. Press and then tap Settings. The following Messaging settings
are available: General settings • Delete old messages: deletes old messages
when the limit is reached, rather than overwriting them. • Text message limit:
allows you to set a limit on how many text messages are allowed in one
conversation

relate to the Emoji. If you type the word dog, that word will be highlighted in
color to indicate it has an emoji to match that word.
Two Fingers and spread them, to pick an emoji
EMOJI ON THE SMARTPHONE
Using the APP Hangout, the emoji’s are in a list when you
strike the icon to show them.
Apple ID
Find you APPLEID using the iTunes App go into Settings and
you will see you APPLE id. But you will need to know your password
TAKING A
PICTURE
You can use the earbuds to take a picture. On the Android you
can use voice control to take a picture. Some smartphones, will let you add
voice control and choose a “word” to activate the camera shot.
Save a Photo
from a Text message
On the Android, you can use Hangout App for texting. Saving
that picture
- Make sure the picture is
the only thing on the screen
- Tap again. Find the 3dots
, then choose save.
- It is in the GALLERY. In
google photos you need to tap on the controls to set which devices to look
for the photos.
