Facebook – You can’t log in at the moment

by 2 Comments

We’ll get in touch with you shortly after we’ve reviewed it. You’ll now be logged out of Facebook as a security precaution.

fb_login_issue

I am unable to use my facebook account for the past 8 days, no response from FaceBook,

May be have to wait more time.

Update : 20-February-2018 07:48 (IST)

I had send couple of emails to Facebook Support, I have not received any reply.

Possible Reason for FaceBook Force logout in my Case

I had deleted my earlier Facebook account with a different email ID. This account was created with a new email ID for personal reasons. I wanted to keep all the social accounts under a different email ID so some valid reasons. I created the new account with the same name and all details including my profile pictures. Before force login out for the last time, I was told to upload my Photo. My account is still accessible to public, I get notifications on my friends activities, etc.

Now I do not want to have a account which I do not have any control. I need to delete the account, don’t know how to delete an account which I can’t login.

Can anyone help me to delete my Facebook Account which I am not able to login and No support from the Stupid Facebook team?

Facebook Account Disabled

Finally, now when I try to login, I get a message that my Facebook account is disabled. No Idea, what is the reason, no emails no communication, they just take users for granted who submit all the content and grow the portal. Anyway, I am not bothered about having a FaceBook Account. So if you get a message like You can’t log in at the moment and ask to upload a photo, expect your account to be disabled, without any explanation or reason from FaceBook.

Travel Charger – 5 USB Ports for all your devices

by Leave a Comment

Like me, most of us these days have more than one device which would be needing a charger connected to USB port. I have my iPhone X, Apple Watch, iPad Pro 10.5, Camera and so on which are always with me and needs to be charged with a fast charging option.

Sometimes I get my devices charged when I am in a airport, or while in bus or any other place where I can find a place to sit with power point.

I was searching for something which could connect all my cables to a single power connection.

I got this AUKEY 54W 5-Port USB Desktop Charging Station which I have been using now for about 15 days and it is really recommended for people like me. It charges fast and is very handy.

This has 5 USB ports which is more than enough for me should be for most of us. Not much expensive and can be ordered from Amazon.

Messages on Mac and iPad – iOS 11

by Leave a Comment

When I used to receive a message on my iPhone, I used to get the same on my iPad and Mac, but after upgrading to iOS 11 this stopped. In iOS 11, there are some extra settings that you need to go through.

Enable “Text Message Forwarding” on your iPhone and select the listed devices to which you want the messages to be forwarded.

Applications that I use on my iPad Pro 10.5

by Leave a Comment

The latest iPad Pro 10.5 is a good replacement for my MacBook Pro. Since I no longer do any core programming or coding work which I was doing earlier, I thought it would be good idea to move to a iPad Pro and some what stop carrying the MBP. Let me make it very clear, I cannot completely get rid of my MBP for many reasons like doing some serious backup / restore process, configuring my Time Capsule, Using iTunes to reset my iPhone / iPad, etc.
These are the core applications that belongs to iOS and I use this more for one main reason and that is simplicity. Not too much of features, so I can do things faster and keep things simple.

Top 10 iPad Pro Applications that I use

  1. iCloud Storage – I have a 1TB storage, all my photos and files are stored and backed up using iCloud and it works seamlessly across all my devices and most of my friends / family use iPhones so this works great for sharing files too. But for my office work, I have to depend on Google Drive as we are using Google Apps for official purpose.
  2. Photos – All pictures taken from any of my Apple device will store them to iCloud and I can view them, do basic editing using the application, works great and is very simple.
  3. Mail – Apple iOS Mail works good for me, I use the Exchange option to configure my Google account and get to use the Push mail, so no delays, get all my mails instantly.
  4. Notes – I used to use Evernote for all my notes, files storage, meeting notes, projects and have been using it for some time now. After getting this iPad Pro and experiencing the iOS 11, I decided to use the Apple notes as my note taking application. I can do almost everything that I used to do using EverNote. Some features like tagging, clipping, etc are something I miss, but most of my tasks are done very well.
  5. Reminders – This is what I use to set reminders and manage my task lists. The drag and drop feature of iOS 11 is of great use. I can drag an email on the reminder screen and create a reminder on the fly. Same in the case of using the notes where the drag and drop works great and I love this feature very much. I am sure once the public version of iOS 11 is out, all the 3 party applications would integrate the drag and drop feature.
  6. Keynote , Pages, Numbers – Used for my official purpose. Very rarely I use the Microsoft office products these days.
  7. LumaFusion– My favourite video editing and publishing App. You can do mostly everything that you would want to do. This best part of it is that it has multiple audio and video tracks. The only problem is when I have to publish a video, I need to keep the App running in the foreground or the entire publishing process has to be repeated. This is same in the case of other video editing tools like iMovie, Pinacle Studio.
  8. FlipBoard – This the best designed tool for aggregate all your news feeds and other favourite websites. I love the design and the flips. You can also connect all your social media accounts to this tool.
  9. WordPress – I am a blogger and I need to keep track of all my WordPress blogs. With this you can do almost everything that you want as far as WordPress blogs are concerned. Write new post, edit post, reply to comments, read the blogs that you are following, stats, etc. A must have if you are a WordPress user.
  10. YouTube Studio – I use the YouTube app for watching videos and YouTube Studio to manage my YouTube Channel. A must have if you are YouTuber.

Other than these applications, I use social media apps like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+, etc.

If you are a Pro User, you can get an iPad Pro, I would suggest a 10.5 one if you want to do more of content creations, checking emails, etc. The 12.9 inch iPad Pro is good for artists, designers , etc. You can decide on which one would suit your need. Get a good keyboard, I would suggest to again for a Apple Smart Keyboard, that works great for me or you can check for other options like the Logitech Slim Combo.

Have I got rid of my MacBook Pro?

After about 6 months of using iPad Pro 10.5, I feel 90% of my tasks can be done with my iPad Pro, but when it comes to some core work like coding, doing some serious video editing, we need to have a desktop version and I switch to MacBook Pro. I think the situation would be the same even if had the bigger version of the iPad Pro.

If you a person who just work with emails, social media, notes, etc, iPad Pro will be ideal, but someone who is into coding or any other core development, then you will need a Mac.

Happy iPading – Waiting for full featured iOS 11 that could really change the way people use iPad.

Keyboard for iPad Pro 10.5

by Leave a Comment

I had got a iPad Pro 10.5 two weeks back and have been using it almost everyday. Keyboards are very important if you are looking to use this to the best and also if you are used to type long emails or even content creation, then I would definitely suggest to get one keyboard.

I got two keyboards, the first one was a Logitech Slim Combo which is really good, but had some trouble with iOS 11 beta which I was using. The keyboard used to stop working in between and I had to restart the iPad to make the keyboard working again. This issue could be a bug in the Beta version of iOS 11 and would be rectified in future releases. I had even filled a feedback to Apple on this topic.

The second keyboard was the Apple Smart Keyboard, which is good with some features compared to the Logitech one, but lacks some great features like the function keys or shortcut keys on the top line. You have home key, volume +, music play, etc.

Apples Smart Keyboard

  1. Light and very simple
  2. No back protection
  3. No place to keep the Apple Pencil
  4. No backlights
  5. No Shortcut / Function keys
  6. Safe from dust or any liquid spilling

Logitech Slim Combo

  1. Bulky and plastic feel
  2. Has backlights
  3. Has Penholder
  4. Has very useful function keys
  5. It has tradition keys
  6. You basically lose the feeling that you are using an iPad because the entire unit gets a different look which I personally do not like.

Personally I am liking theApple Smart Keyboard for the reason that it is very light, simple and easy to move around. Yes it does lack some very important features like the pen holder, function keys etc.

iOS 11 appears to restore Gmail push in Apple Mail

by Leave a Comment

I have been using Push Mail for my Google Apps account for many years on my iPhone and iPad using the native mail application.

You need to add your email account as Exchange account and not Gmail. Everything else you would have having except in that you should use m.google.com as server. The domain field can be left blank as it is not mandatory.

You get the mails instantly pushed, you can see the real Push feature using this setting. You have the option to even have push setting to particular labels too.

Gmail users rejoice as iOS 11 may have a solution for the long-standing push notification woes. No longer having to rely on a third-party app, users with Google email accounts should be able to jump back onto iOS’ native Mail app.
