How to convert AVI to iPhone

Have you downloaded videos in AVI format from the Internet, would you like to transfer them to your iPhone but iTunes does not allow you to use them? Do not worry, it's an absolutely normal thing. iTunes supports only MP4, M4V and MOV videos, so to be able to transfer a video to iPhone you must first convert it to one of these formats. How do you say? Does it seem an extremely complicated operation to do? I assure you that you're wrong! Using some software that I am going to advise you, you can convert AVI to iPhone in an extremely easy, fast and even free way.

All you need is a few minutes of free time to read this tutorial and a little 'patience while waiting for your videos in AVI format are transformed into videos optimized for iPhone. If then the patience is not among your main virtues, know that there are alternative applications to the default iOS that allow you to load - and then view - the videos in AVI format on iPhone without having to first convert to MP4, M4V or MOV.

Would you like to know more? Perfect, now I'll explain everything, but let's go with order: let's first see how to convert video in the format optimized for iPhone (then in the format readable by default iOS applications) and then how to bypass the restrictions of the Apple operating system thanks to media players third parts. Enjoy reading and have fun!

HandBrake (Windows / macOS)

If you want to convert AVI for iPhone , you will hardly find a better solution than HandBrake : it is a free and open source converter optimized for creating videos for iPhone, iPad and other Apple devices. It is compatible with both Windows and MacOS and its interface is highly intuitive. Do you want to find out more in detail how it works? So here you are satisfied.

First, connect to the official HandBrake website and download the program to your PC by clicking on the Download HandBrake button . When the download is complete, if you are using a Windows PC , start the executable HandBrake-xx-x86_64-Win_GUI.exe and, in the window that opens, click on the Yes button and then on Next , I Agree , Install and Finish to conclude the setup.

If you use a Mac , instead, open the dmg package that contains HandBrake, drag the program icon in the Applications folder of macOS and you're done: the program will be installed on your computer.

To start the HandBrake for the first time on the Mac, you will have to right click on its icon and select the Open item from the menu that appears: this operation is used to bypass the macOS restrictions (which by default blocks applications from uncertified developers) and it must be performed only once. Subsequently, the application can be started normally.

Now you can take action! Then start HandBrake and, in the window that opens, if you use Windows, click on the File button located in the left sidebar to select the AVI video to optimize for iPhone. If you use a Mac, the file selection window will open directly and then you can immediately select the AVI file to convert to video for iPhone.

Once you have chosen the video to convert, expand the Devices menu in the right sidebar and select one of the following options (if you do not see the right sidebar, select the Show presets panel item from the Presets menu at the top or, if you are using a Mac, click on the Toggle presets button located at the top right).

• Apple 1080p30 Surround - if you need to convert a movie in Full HD resolution to 30 FPS. Profile compatible with iPhone 5 and later.
• Apple 720p30 Surround - if you need to convert a movie in HD resolution to 30 FPS. Profile compatible with iPhone 4 and later.
• Apple 540p30 Surround - if you need to convert a movie in SD resolution to 30 FPS. Profile compatible with all iPhone models.

Next, click on the Browse button , select the folder in which to save the output video, assign a name to the latter (by typing it in the appropriate text field) and the Enter . Then click on the Start encode (or Start ) button at the top and wait patiently for the movie conversion to finish. The duration of the operation, of course, will depend on the length of the video and the computing power of the PC in use.

Mobile Video Converter (Windows)

If, for one reason or another, HandBrake does not satisfy you, you can try Mobile Media Converter : it is a small free converter for Windows that supports all major video file formats (AVI, MP4, MOV, WMV, FLV etc. .) and can be used without facing tedious installation procedures. To download it to your PC, connected to its official website and click on the portable item   located next to the Windows flag. 

When the download is complete, start the Mobile Media Converter xx Portable.exe executable  , drag the video (or video) AVI you want to optimize for iPhone in the program window and select the iPhone / iPod Video with subsoption from the Conversion to drop-down menu.  . Then click on the arrow ◀ ︎ you see on the right, presses the Advanced button and use the Video size field to choose the resolution in which to save the movie for iPhone.

Finally, click on the OK button to save the changes, choose the folder in which to save the video optimized for iPhone using the (...) button  and presses the Convert button  to start converting the movie.

Adapter (Windows / macOS)

Another good alternative to HandBrake is represented by Adapter : a free converter compatible with all the main video file formats available for both Windows and MacOS. To download it to your PC, connected to its official website and click on the Download Adapter button .

When the download is complete, if you use Windows, start the executable Adapter-xx.exe and, in the window that opens, click on Yes first and then click OK and Next . Then check the checkbox next to I accept the agreement , to accept the conditions of use of the program, and end the setup by first pressing on Next for 6 consecutive times and then on Install , Next and Finish . If necessary, two free software required for the operation of the Adapter: VLC and FFMPEGwill be downloaded and installed during the process(you will have to follow the setup by clicking on Next / Next ).

If you use a Mac , to install Adapter, you just have to drag the icon of the latter in the Applications folder of macOS and start the program. When you first start, the program will ask you to install FFMPEG : accept.

From this point on, the steps to take are the same on Windows and macOS: then drag the video (or videos) AVI to optimize for iPhone in the Adapter window, select the Video options > Apple> iPhone 4S, 5, 5S / Retina Display (* .m4v) (or iPhone 4 / Retina Display (* .m4v) if you use an iPhone model equal to or less than 4) from the drop down menu located at the bottom and presses the Convertbutton to start the conversion.

The output movie will be saved in the same folder as the original video. To change this setting, click on the gear icon to bring up the Adapter settings panel and click on the Custom button at the top to choose a route of your preference.

Watch AVI on iPhone without converting them

Do you think that converting AVI to iPhone and then synchronizing it with iTunesis too slow and cumbersome? I understand you, also because now the limits imposed by Apple can be overcome very easily. As? Installing a third-party video player on iOS and using it to first pass the video files in AVI format on iPhone and then to play them without making any conversion.

Among the best players for iPhone (and iPad) that allow you to transfer and play files in AVI format on the iPhone there is VLC , which is completely free and requires no configuration. The application is freely available on the App Store , so to download it you have to do is open the store of your "iPhone" (the icon of "A" on the blue background that you find in the home screen), press the Search tab (in bottom right), look for VLC and proceed with the player installation by tapping the Get button . You may be asked to authenticate yourself via Touch ID, Face ID or Apple ID password.

Once you have installed the VLC application, start it and activate the data transfer function via Wi-Fi by pressing the icon of the road cone located at the top left and activating the option Sharing via Wi-Fi .

At this point, switch to the PC, open the browser you usually use to browse the Internet (eg Chrome or Safari ) and connected to the address that appeared in the sidebar of VLC, for example http://iPhone-di-Andrea.local. If everything went well and iPhone and PC are connected to the same Wi-Fi network, you will access a panel through which you can upload videos to iPhone.

To upload videos to iPhone, drag them to the Release files box and wait for the upload to finish. It should not take long.

At the end of the operation, you will be able to access the videos in AVI format loaded on the iPhone simply by opening the VLC app and selecting their thumbnails. The commands of the player is useless to specify them: they are those of all the video players: play, pause, forward, backward, volume adjustment etc.

If you need it, you can upload video in AVI format in the VLC app for iPhone also physically connecting your phone to your computer and taking advantage of the file sharing feature of iTunes : I explained you well how to do it in my tutorial on how to upload videos to iPhone .

Check if your PC is protected by Specter and Meltdown (2018 hardware vulnerability)

How to check if your PC is protected by Spectre and Meltdown hardware vulnerabilities

I did not want to talk about it because I think sometimes, when you cannot do much better, ignore the problems that you know and know you are powerless, but in the end you can not get away and we have to devote a few lines to the latest computer security problem , discovered January 3, 2018, which involves all the PCs, servers and smartphones of the world . 
The defects discovered were even two, signed with the names Meltdown and Specter, which allow, in different ways, to leave open a vulnerability that allows malware to access information saved in the memory of programs and, therefore, the data of the device. 
Due to a hardware design flaw of many modern processors Malicious users can exploit these two vulnerabilities to access part of the memory that should remain private, allowing them to steal things like passwords, emails, browser history and photos. 

Both are hardware vulnerabilities: Meltdown concerns ARM and Intel processors, while Specter covers all processors. 
While security patches from Intel, Microsoft and Apple are already available for Meltdown, there is currently no solution for the Specter vulnerability because it is an architectural problem with the processors, which should therefore be adjusted and modified for be protected. 

In this article we are going to find out if our Windows PC is vulnerable to Specter, which most likely will be, and how to protect yourself from Meltwdown and Specter .

First of all it is important to know that Microsoft has already released a patch for the Meltdown bug as a Windows update. 
This patch effectively nullifies the threat posed by this bug on Intel-based PCs, while it is not distributed on AMD-based PCs. 
To check , open Windows Update from the Start menu (in Windows 10 by going to Settings> Update and Security ) and make sure everything has been installed. 
In particular, updates to protect the computer against Meltdown have the abbreviation KB4056892 on Windows 10, KB4056897 for Windows 7 and KB4056898 for Windows 8.1.

So if the protection for Meltdown should be solved so, Specter is a vulnerability that remains, for which there are currently no patches that make the PC protected, which would require a BIOS update if the manufacturer of the PC or motherboard releases a new version (which is not at all obvious). 
To find out if our computer is protected or vulnerable Specter there is a command to be launched using the Power shell utility .

If you are facing any issue related to Specter and Meltdown concern then  feel free to contact UAE Technician expert . Our highly qualified  technician team are always available to protect your all devices like Laptop, Desktop, Macbook, imac, iphone  from Specter and Meltdown.

Connect the PC to the wifi without a password

You can connect a Windows PC to wifi (and to the internet) without having to enter the password, just by pressing a button

To connect a PC to the internet, you activate the wifi, select the network and then enter the password.

If you use a complex password or otherwise you do not remember, you can also choose to connect the PC to the wifi network with internet using WPS mode , which stands for Wi-Fi Protected Setup, which does not require the inclusion of passwords .

Most modern wifi modem routers support the WPS function, which allows you to connect a device to a supported modem or router without entering the password, except that almost no one uses it.

The WPS function is a nice convenience, also because it works not only with PCs, but also with smartphones and tablets (Android only), with printers and other network devices, so you only have to activate it once to allow connection to internet quickly.

NOTE: In this guide we find out how to connect to a wifi network using WPS from Windows 10 PC and Android, assuming however that the WPS is active on the router, which should be by default.

To make sure that WPS is active, it is convenient to access the router configuration panel , look for WPS in the settings of the wifi network and activate it.

With a PC Windows 10 (and also on Windows 7) you can connect to the internet without entering the password of the wifi by going first to click on the network connection icon on the taskbar, near the desktop clock.

If you can not see the networks icon, press the arrow up or go to Settings> Network and Internet> Wifi .

Once you have expanded the list of available wifi networks, find the name of the network you want to connect to, click on it and then press the button to connect.

Uncheck the Automatically connect if you do not want to connect to this network each time you turn on the PC.

When the password request is displayed, it will be found underneath an inscription that reads: " You can also connect by pressing the button on the router ".

At this point, just press the WPS button on the router to connect the computer to the internet and transfer all security information, including the login password.

The button press procedure is done only once, it will not need to be repeated and you will not be prompted to press the WPS button again.

In the same way you can connect an Android smartphone , even if the option is less visible.

In Android you can activate the connection via WPS by going to Settings> Wifi , then pressing the button with three dots in the screen where the wifi networks are listed and going to Advanced .

In the Advanced Wifi options you can press on WPS command buttonand then press the WPS button on the router.

On the iPhone and iPad, the connection via WPS can not be used, so you must always enter the password to connect to a wifi network.

The WPS button on the router, which has the symbol of a double arrow, should be located at the front, but can be on either side,

Also, some routers / modems are required to hold down the key for a few seconds to establish the connection required.

Finally, note that the WPS can be a vulnerability for the network, so if you are in a busy environment, with more possibilities that some expert hacker can access our network, it may be better to disable it altogether.

We have seen, in fact, how, in theory, it can be simple to crack a wifi if WPS is active.

Smartphone printers to print immediate photos (like Polarioid)

To instantly print photos taken with your Android smartphone or iPhone, buy one of these portable printers

Smartphones have completely revolutionized photography, because they allow you to take pictures wherever we are, in the hundreds, without having to worry too much if they are good or bad.

The problem of digital photos taken with the smartphone has always been that of not having them in hand.

So you can have a lot of photos on your PC, which you never look at or that still require you to turn on the computer. The obvious solution is to print them at home with a suitable printer or by going to the photographer.

An even faster solution is to print a photo immediately after making it, so you can immediately put them in the album of memories, to give it to those who stay with us and store it in a material way, on a piece of paper.

This immediate print was possible, since the 80s, buying a Polaroid, the camera model with self-developing films.

While today's new cameras with integrated printing (in particular the Fujifilm Instax ) are on sale , you can also buy a portable photo printer for iPhones and Android smartphones that allow you to have immediately the printed photo as you would a Polaroid , with the advantage of being able to choose which photo to print.

For starters it is important to know that portable photo printers for smartphones use a zero ink technology .

In practice, the camera does not carry ink cartridges inside, because the printing takes place on the special paper through heat pulses.

While zero-ink printing has the advantage of being able to be integrated into a small device and does not require to change cartridges like normal printers, the downside is that the photo cartridges, ie the film where they are printed, costs a lot, about 10 euros for 20 photos or even more.

In addition, the size of the photo will never be too large and ranges from 2X3 inches to 4X6 maximum.

All printing cameras work via wifi, bluetooth or NFC via a proprietary app to download on your Android phone or iPhone. 

On Amazon there are several models of portable and pocket-sized photo printers that can be connected via Bluetooth or via wifi to the mobile phone.

1) Kodak Mini Printer works with Wifi connection both with an iPhone and with a smartphone Samsung, Huawei or any other Android and costs 100/120 Euro.

Color printing is 2.1 x 3.4 inches in size.

You can also print images from videos and photos with custom frames and special effects applied by the Kodak application.

2) Polaroid ZIP is a printer very similar to the Mini Kodak, small and compact, costs 130 Euro, to immediately print photos from iPhone or Android thanks to the Bluetooth connection or NFC.

The print is 2X3 inches in size.

3) HP Sprocket Portable Photo Printer is one of the most popular printers, costs 150 Euro and instantly transforms photos taken with the smartphone into colored prints

The size of the photos printed are always those of the mini printers, 2X3 inches.

4) Kodak Dock Station is a mobile photo printer that costs 140 euros and works with a direct connection via micro USB cable.

With this photo printer you can get 4X6 inch photos, larger than the others ..

5) Canon Selphy CP1300 differs from other printers on this list because it has the appearance of a normal printer, with a small LCD touchscreen control, a set of physical buttons, a print tray and the ability to print via Wifi or USB.

In addition to printing 4x6-inch prints, it can also be used to print square photos, postcards, stickers and 2x6 inch photos.

Printing technology is also cheaper than the others, with cartridges that cost significantly less.

The only drawback is the size, a bit 'larger than the other, not pocketable.
