With them we can receive notifications even if we are within an application, such as a Facebook message, a warning to take a pill or challenge a friend in a game. Each application that will ask if you want to use to activate or not the first time that we open, may change our focus if we want to Settings / Push Notifications. Activity is very useful, but has a high cost of battery.

Why only the speaker sounds right to my iPhone?
The current IOS devices only have a speaker. What has the iPhone on the other side is the microphone.
What is HDR button on the camera application?
HDR means "High Dynamic Range", and allows us to take better pictures with great contrast. When activated, the camera automatically will bring two foo, uanranormal and other improved so we can decide which to use.
Is it worthwhile to use the camera zoom?

Once plugged into your computer, simply open the application "Image Capture on Mac or go to My Computer and open the device that appears as a camera.

How do I upload photos / music / videos to the device?
Top things to the device is more "complicated" and not that it is difficult, you'll need to use iTunes for it. So the first thing will be plugged into the computer and open iTunes. Once opened, we connected devices will be listed in the left bar, so select the one that want to use. Once selected, we will see that we appear different tabs corresponding to formats that can synchronize, such as music, applications, videos, podcasts, photos, books, ...
Depending on the type of content you want to get into our system, we must use a pesataña or another. For example, to take photos of our last trip, we will have access to the tab "Photos", select "Sync photos from" and select the folder you want to spend.
Personally, I always recommend creating a general folder to place all the subfolders you want to carry on our device, (eg rental, beach, museum, concert, etc. And within each of the photos you want to carry around) because iTunes only let us synchronize folders, not individual files and if, like me, you have hundreds of gigabytes of photographs, it is a very appropriate choice.
The same can happen with the music, but instead of folders, you have to create playlists with songs that carry you please, so it will be easy to go changing every time you want.
The theme of the films is more complicated because iOS only accept files in quicktime, so we have to convert before using any of the programs available. Disponéis also some applications in the App Store that enable them to other formats or streaming directly from your computer.

"I can share the Internet connection with other devices?
Until now, only one could do with another device via Bluetooth or USB. Since version 4.3, you can share your iPhone into a hotspot, sharing the connection through wireless. To activate it we must go to Settings / General / Network / Internet Sharing.
What is Game Center?
