Hotmail Exchange Account Password Problem

We had a question during our last class about an error message that had to do with the Hotmail Exchange Account password. The Apple Support Forum addresses this problem with the following solution.

"Try a Reset (Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so, until the Apple logo appears, and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.) It is app and data safe!"

Apple iOS 6 review: A worthwhile upgrade

iOS 6 has now evolved into a robust and powerful mobile OS.

Today, Apple officially released iOS 6, the latest update to the mobile OS that powers the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. Unveiled in June at the annual World Wide Developer's Conference, iOS 6 promised to deliver a variety of needed enhancements. It does just that, delivering a stable and responsive OS that all recent iDevice users should download and install.

The ability to share links, images and other data 
gets a boost with redesigned Share Sheets in iOS 6.

So, what's new? This year's upgrade offers more than 200 new features according to Apple, which apparently counts numerous minor tweaks as notable changes. Read more HERE.
