      How To Change Your Primary Email Address On Facebook

       

      In this Quick Tech video, I’m going to show you how to change your primary email address on Facebook, which is nice if you’ve lost access to an old one or have just created a new one.

       

      To get started, I’ll show you where to go on the desktop version first.

       

      Head to Facebook.com, and on the top right, click the arrow to drop down the menu. Select Settings and Privacy, and then Settings.

       

      In here you’ll see your contact info, and under Contact, your email address on file. Select Edit on the right.

       

      As you can see, I only have one email on my account right now, so I’ll click Add another email or mobile number.

       

      In the pop-up dialogue that appears, type your email that you want to add.

       

      Next, for the security of your account, enter your Facebook password and hit submit.

       

      After that, you’ll get a dialogue telling you to go to your email and confirm to validate that you have access to that email. Check your email, and on the one from Facebook, tap Confirm.

       

      It will resend you to your Facebook settings page, and you’ll see Changes Saved.

       

      Click on your Contact email again and confirm your new email address was added and is made Primary. If you want, you can then delete your old email address if you no longer have access to it, or you can keep it as a backup.

       

      Next, I’ll show you how to do this inside of the mobile Facebook app.

       

      To do this on the mobile version is the same process, but it’s in a little bit of a different location in the settings. Open Facebook and tap the three lines at the bottom right.

       

      Scroll down and tap Settings and Privacy, and then Settings inside this drop-down menu.

       

      Next, tap personal information at the top, and then contact info inside of here. Now, this is where you can add emails or phone numbers like we did on the desktop version.

       

      And that’s how you add and change your primary email address on Facebook.

      How To Save And Organize Saved Instagram Posts

       

      In this Quick Tech video, I’m going to show you how to save and organize Instagram posts, making it easy to revisit posts that you like in the future, or group images together for ideas.

       

      For instance, I like to save Instagram posts from different filmmakers or photographers that show behind the scenes of lighting and other techniques to getting the shot. You could do this with a ton of things like gardens, home décor ideas, places you want to visit, and more.

       

      To get started, find a post you want to save. This part is pretty straight forward. You tap the bookmark style save button here on the right.

       

      Once you have a few posts saved, tap your profile icon on the bottom right.

       

      Next, hit the three bars on the top right of the screen to drop down the menu.

       

      In here, tap Saved.

       

      If you haven’t organized any of your saved posts yet, you’ll have this All Posts collection.

       

      In there you will find all of the Instagram posts that you’ve saved.

       

      To group them, go back to the collections page and tap the plus sign on the top right.

       

      Name your collection and hit Next.

       

      Select all of the posts that fall under that Collection, and then tap Done at the top right.

       

      You now have a new collection that has grouped all of the posts that you’ve chosen, and you still have the All Posts collection in case you want to go through everything at once.

       

      You can go ahead and do that now with the rest of your saved posts if you want to.

       

      If you want to delete a collection, head into the collection you want to delete, tap the three dots in the top right, and hit Delete.

       

      And that’s how you save and organize Instagram posts.

      How To Edit Photos On An iPhone

      How To Edit Photos On An iPhone

       

      In this Quick Tech video, I’m going to show you a quick overview of how to use the photo editing tools built into the Photos app on your iPhone’s iOS.

       

      The cameras nowadays on mobile devices are incredible and with every new phone release, it seems the focus is spent making improvements on the images being taken.

       

      But sometimes you don’t have the time to sit and frame or expose the perfect shot. Take this photo here that I took while we were running through the Houston airport on the way to a documentary film shoot. I had a camera and about 40 pounds of other gear strapped on my back hoping we weren’t missing our boarding, so I didn’t have the time to think too much about the shot. But I snapped it knowing I could tweak it later.

       

      To edit your photo, open the Photos app and find the image you want to work with.

       

      On the top right, tap Edit.

       

      You can find the workflow that works best for you, but I usually start with straightening and cropping my image if needed.

       

      Tap the crop icon on the bottom.

       

      In the straighten section, dial the slider until you find a nice level horizon line, or if your photo has something else to level against that looks good, do that. Art is subjective, so if it looks good to you, go with it.

       

      Now that I have the image level, I think I want to get rid of some of the headroom here. I could scale, but I like the people walking in the background, and I’d lose that. Instead, I’ll crop. Tap the crop icon on the top right and choose the crop settings that work. 16:9 and pushing up looks good to me.

       

      The next part is color correction. Each image is going to be different, so go ahead and mess with these settings until you find what looks good to you. I like to bring my exposure up a bit, add a little overall brightness but bring down my highlights and crush the blacks. I’ll add a bit of contrast and bring the saturation down to get control of the blown-out colors. I personally also like a little cooler, or bluer, hint to my images. Add a little sharpness and definition and a slight vignette. And in the end, I end up with an image that looks like this, which to me is a lot better when you compare the two.

       

      And that’s a quick overview of how to edit images using nothing more than the Photos app.

      How To Get Rid Of Adware For Free

      How To Get Rid Of Adware For Free

       

      Is your computer running sluggish, and you’ve noticed unwanted programs or advertisements popping up nonstop? Or have you noticed new extensions and a weird default homepage on your browser? Running antivirus and antimalware software is a great starting point, but sometimes you need to dig deeper. This is where running an adware program can help.

       

      In this Quick Tech video, I’m going to show you how to use a super useful free adware program called AdwCleaner from the cybersecurity company, Malwarebytes.

       

      To get started, head to Malwarebytes.com.

       

      The adware program is a bit buried and they’ve moved it a couple of times, but to find it now at the end of 2020, click the Personal tab on the menu, and under the Security and Antivirus section, choose Overview.

       

      Scroll down past the Malwarebytes download sections until you see Malwarebytes Free, Malwarebytes AdwCleaner, and Malwarebytes Browser Guard.

       

      Under AdwCleaner, select Download for Free, and on the AdwCleaner main page, select Free Download.

       

      AdwCleaner will then download to your computer. In Chrome here, I can select the arrow next to the download, and choose Open or Show in Folder. I’ll choose that and then close Chrome.

       

      Double click to open the AdwCleaner program, choose Yes to allow the computer to run it, and hit I Agree on the welcome screen. AdwCleaner doesn’t install on your machine, it just runs from the file you downloaded.

       

      On the main screen here, choose Scan Now and let the program work. It’s a pretty quick scan, unlike antivirus or malware programs.

       

      When done, it will show you all of the files and programs it found if any. As you can see nothing was detected on my system here, but if you did find something then choose to clean the files it found. It will also ask you about preinstalled software. You can choose to let it change those, but I usually uncheck those options. When done with the cleaning your machine will reboot.

       

      The next step at the bottom is to do a Basic Repair. You can but for now, I’m going to select Skip for now, and then I can close the program.

       

      And that’s how you combine multiple Starbucks gift card to one using the Starbucks app.

      How To Combine Multiple Starbucks Gift Cards

       

      So, it’s after the holidays now, and you’ve accumulated a stack of the most important ingredients of a highly productive day, Starbucks gift cards. You add them to the Starbucks app to manage your points and you realize you have a bunch of different card profiles. 

       

      Well in this Quick Tech video, I’m going to show you how to merge all of those cards into one fund.

       

      To get started, download or open the Starbucks app.

       

      On the bottom of the home page, tap the Gift button.

       

      On this page, select Got A Gift Card at the top.

       

      Next, find the Starbucks Card Number and Security Code on the back of the physical gift cards you have and enter them here. When done, tap Add Card at the bottom.

       

      Now that you have all of your gift cards added to your account, tap the Scan button on the bottom menu.

       

      Here you can scroll through and see all of the cards on your account.

       

      If you don’t already have a main card, you can choose the first one to be it. As you can see, the third card in my account is my main card, so I’ll transfer everything to that.

       

      Head back to a card and tap Manage. Next, tap Transfer Balance.

       

      Here, make the selections of transferring from this card to your main card. When done, hit Transfer at the bottom of the screen.

       

      You’ll now see the balance is $0, and if we go back and over to my main card, the balance has been added there.

       

      To clean up the account, go back to the card with the $0 balance. Tap manage, remove the card and remove card again.

       

      Go ahead and do this process with all of the gift cards you’ve added to your account, and when done you’ll then see the total balance of all of your gift cards added to one final card.

       

      And that’s how you combine multiple Starbucks gift card to one using the Starbucks app.

      How To Use Split View On Your Mac

      How To Use Split View On Your Mac

       

      In this quick tech how-to video, I’m going to show you how to use split view on your Apple computer.

       

      This first way is for Mac OS Catalina or higher and allows you to fill your screen with 2 apps at once, without having to manually move and resize windows.

       

      To do this, start with the first app you want to split-screen with. Press and hold the green full-screen button on the upper-left of the window until a popup menu appears.

       

      On the menu, choose Tile Window to Left of Screen or Right of Screen. The window will then fill that side of the screen.

       

      Once that clicks into place, select the next window you want to be side by side with.

       

      If you are using an older version of macOS, the directions are almost the same, but instead of selecting Tile to Left or Right, the window will shrink, and you just drag to the left or right.

       

      A quick note, if you are unable to enter split view, you may have to make an adjustment inside of your preferences.

       

      Head to System Preferences, and then Mission Control.

       

      In here make sure that Displays Have Separate Spaces is selected.

       

      To exit split view, press and hold the green full-screen button again and select exit full-screen.

       

      The other window you had open will also still be in full-screen, so you may have to swipe over or select it manually and exit full-screen on that too.

       

      And that’s how you use split view on an Apple Mac computer.

      How To Take Raw Photos With Apple ProRaw On iPhone 12 Pro

      How To Take Raw Photos With Apple ProRaw On iPhone 12 Pro

       

      Make sure your iPhone is updated to the latest iOS using this quick video – 

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROFnUBcdUKA

       

      In this quick tech how-to video, I’m going to show you where to go inside of your iPhone 12 Pro settings to turn on the new Apple ProRaw format.

       

      With the release of iOS 14.3 and the iPhone 12 Pro models, Apple released its new raw photo format, Apple ProRaw. This is great if you’re a photographer looking to get a little more range out of your typical mobile phone pictures. But remember, not every photo needs to be shot in raw format, as each image takes up to 10-12 times more space.

       

      Luckily Apple included a shortcut inside of the camera app to quickly turn on or off the ProRaw option. I’ll show you that after I show you how to initially enable the new format.

       

      To get started, head to your Settings app and first make sure you are updated to the latest iOS version. Scroll down to General, and next tap Software Update. Here you will see what software version you’re at. You need to be to at least 14.3, so if you are not, I’ll link in the description below to a video walking you through how to do that.

       

      Head back to the Settings main menu and scroll down until you see Camera. Tap that and you’ll be at the camera settings page.

       

      At the top, tap Formats.

       

      In here you will camera capture formats and at the bottom the ability to enable Apple ProRaw. Tap the slider to turn it on.

       

      Now that ProRaw is enabled, close the Settings app and open the Camera app.

       

      In the corner, you will now see the Raw option button. Tap it to easily turn Raw on or off, as I said at the beginning of the video, not every photo needs to be Raw. Take your picture like normal and you’re all set.

       

      And that’s how you enable the new Apple ProRaw format inside of the iPhone 12 Pro models running iOS 14.3.

      How To Make Your Facebook Page Private 

       

      In this quick tech how-to video, I’m going to show you how to make your Facebook account page completely private using your phone.

       

      To get started, open the Facebook app. At the bottom right of the homepage, tap the 3 line menu button.

       

      On the next Menu page here, scroll down until you see Settings and Privacy and hit the arrow on the right to expand the dropdown menu. Next select Privacy Shortcuts.

       

      In here there are links to all of the privacy settings for Facebook. You can go through some of these settings and adjust to your preference, but what we’re looking for today is in the top Privacy section here, under Review a few important privacy settings.

       

      Select that and you will get a Privacy Checkup page. Here you can go one by one through the checklist and turn your account private.

       

      Under Who Can See What You Share, you can adjust your Profile and Sharing preferences.

       

      Go through the dropdown options on the right and change the settings to Only Me.

       

      Click Next on the bottom right when you’re finished to get to the Posts and Stories section. Change these settings to either only me or a friends list. 

       

      On the next screen, you can add certain people to a Blocked List. Tap Next and you’re all set for that section.

       

      The other section that you may want to take a look at is under How People Can Find You On Facebook.

       

      This section will hide your profile from people looking you up through friend requests, or by your phone number or email, or by doing general searches. Click Continue and change who can send friend requests to only friends of friends.

       

      On the next page change both settings to Only Me.

       

      Finally, on the last page, turn off the option for search engines outside of Facebook to link to your profile.

       

      And it’s that easy to change some settings to make your Facebook account page private.
