Apple is a brand associated mainly with high quality and attention to every detail. This is not surprising, because it fully deserved its reputation. However, even in devices with the logo of the bitten apple, there are breakdowns for which it is necessary to take appropriate corrective actions. How to restore iPhone?

Restore iPhone with Backup

If the iPhone, which we intend to restore to the factory settings, has some important data stored in the memory, such as photos, contacts, recordings, e-mails or SMSes, then of course we should first protect them from loss by doing a backup.

In iOS, we can do this backup in two ways. The first requires connecting the iPhone with a cable to the computer and creating a backup using iTunes. The second way – more convenient and faster, because wireless – is to use the iCloud service, under which each iOS user receives from Apple 5 GB of free cloud space, which can be used, among others to create a complete iPhone backup. To use the backup via iCloud, from the device settings level go to the iCloud tab, select Disk and archive, and then select the iCloud archive option. From now on, all will be automatically archived in the iCloud service when the iPhone is within WiFi range and is connected to charging.

How to restore factory settings

Before we delete all data from the iPhone, we still need to turn off security – Find My iPhone. We will find them in Settings -> Apple ID -> select our device from the list -> Find my iPhone -> turn off (you will need to enter the password for our Apple ID).

If you have already backed up and turned off Find My iPhone, we can proceed to the appropriate operation:

• We run Settings and go to the General section,
• At the very bottom we choose Reset,
• Here, click Erase content and settings (if the iPhone was previously protected by a code, we will still be asked to provide it).

From now on the contents of the phone will be deleted. The time of the operation will depend on the amount of data contained, as well as the model of the phone and may vary from a few minutes to over an hour. After erasing the data, the phone will be ready for sale or to be restored from a backup.

Restore using a computer

Before starting the procedure, you need to make sure that you have an updated version of the system. You will need iTunes installed (also in the latest version) for the reset. The first thing to do is enter the settings on your phone, select the iCloud option, and then Find My iPhone. The next steps should be done on your computer.

• Launch the Finder window (macOS Catalina 10.15) or the iTunes application (macOS 10.14 and earlier or PC).
• Connect the phone to the computer.
• Follow the instructions on the screen. At this stage, you will need to enter the code (the same as when resetting from a smartphone).
• When the device appears among the available locations, click Play.
• Confirm the entire operation.

Then, you will be able to configure the system in the same way as after buying a new iPhone.

Quoting often causes problems for us, especially if we quote from various sources such as books, magazines, monographs. How to do it correctly? 

How to cite a book?

Plagiarism is reporting someone’s work (in the same or slightly modified form) without proper reference. Avoiding plagiarism, and therefore the right citation whenever we use someone else’s ideas, is a key element of learning. Using external sources does not mean that the author lacks independence and originality. Proper use of external sources indicates the selective selection of information and the degree of knowledge of the literature by the author. In general, two methods are used to use the work of other authors:

1) Marking the author’s name and year of publication of the source and placing quotation marks in the same way as in the source (word for word)

2) Designation of the author’s name and year of publication of the source, whose ideas we summarize or paraphrase.

We do not forget about quotation marks when we quote someone else’s words outright.

How to quote?

Quoting is not difficult at all. Everyone can quickly acquire this skill. Just read the tips below once to be able to use the quotes in the future. Remember, however, that we quote in a specific aspect, each transfused phrase has a role. You can use it as a polemic with other authors. Thanks to them, our knowledge and value of a given text increases – it is not only substantive but correct and proven on a certain basis. It has evidentiary value. A quote can be an example, part of a sentence or thought that you refer to.

Standards for footnotes

Book citation

In the footnote at the bottom of the page we provide:

First name (first letter of the first name with a dot) Author’s last name, Book title, place of publication year, p. Page or page number.

Citing a chapter from a book

First name (first letter of the first name with a dot) Surname (Chapter author), Chapter title, in: name surname (book editor) (ed.), Book title, place year, p. first page of the chapter – last page of the chapter

Citation of an article from a magazine

Name (author of the article), Article title, in: “Journal title” (year, number number in the year), page

Citing the same item for the second and subsequent time

Only the first time we include a full bibliographic description in the footnote, e.g. 

First name (first letter of the first name with a dot) Author’s last name, Book title, place of publication year, p. Page or page number.

How to cite

Very often, we use quotes when writing many different scientific papers like a master’s thesis or other written essays. First of all, it is an indicator that shows the appropriate substantiveness of the author, who turned to professional books for help and referred to the words of experts. The citation also shows our attitude to the works of other authors. Because using words already written or spoken is unlawful and unethical.

What to do if your phone is lost or stolen? Surely you shouldn’t panic because there is a track an iPhone option. See how to do it.

Find my device

Using the Locator application, you can easily find your device and take additional actions to help you recover it or protect information on it. Here’s a brief instruction: (from Apple)

Log in to icloud.com/find or use the Locator app on another Apple device.

Find your device. Open the Locator app or go to iCloud.com and click Find iPhone. Select a device to view its location on the map. If your device is nearby, you can use the option to play audio on it to help you or someone nearby find it.

Mark device as lost. This will lock the device remotely with a code. You can display your own message with the phone number on the device’s lock screen. The location of the device will also be tracked. After entering the device in Lost mode, the option to pay using Apple Pay on your device will be suspended.

Don’t forget to report the theft to the relevant services. Find the device serial number, you may be asked for it.

Erase the device. This will prevent anyone from accessing data on the missing device. Erasing will delete any data on your device (including cards added to the Apple Pay service) and prevent you from further finding your device using the Locator or Find iPhone application on iCloud.com. Devices that are erased can no longer be tracked. If you delete the device from your account after erasing, the activation lock will be turned off. This will allow someone else to turn on and use your device.

Don’t forget to report the loss or theft to your mobile operator so that he can block your account and prevent you from making calls, sending text messages and using data.

Find my friends

If your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch is iOS 9 to 12, the Find My Friends app is installed automatically. If your device uses iOS 8, you can install the free Find My Friends app from the App Store. By logging in to the iCloud device on your device, you also automatically log into the Find My Friends application using your Apple ID account.

If you want to receive notifications from the Find My Friends app on your Apple Watch, you can turn them on in the Apple Watch app on your iPhone. Then go to the My Watch tab, tap Notifications, scroll down, tap My Friends, and then tap to enable the Clone iPhone alerts option. If you’re using watchOS 4 or 5, you can also turn on notifications from your Apple Watch. Select Settings> General> Location Services. Then enable the Send my location option.

You can also use the Find My Friends app on iCloud.com.

A puppy is like a small child and needs your care and closeness. There are times when you can be sure that he will want to get it done. After eating, sleeping and after intense fun, he will feel the need almost immediately. Remember that a young dog will not sleep through the night. How to potty train a puppy?

Why does the dog pee at home

Dogs sometimes take care of their needs at home, not necessarily in a designated place. Why is this happening? There are at least several reasons:

• because your dog wants to mark the terrain
• has kidney problems
• for joy
• has bladder problems – can’t hold urine,
• takes medications that are diuretics,
• is not taught to take care of the needs on the mat or outside,
• is often punished for inappropriate behavior.

How to teach a dog to pee outside

How can you keep your dog from peeing at home? How do you teach a puppy to pee outside? It is worth using such methods as:

• frequent going out with a pet,
• rewarding treats for getting out of the house,
• praising the dog for appropriate behavior,
• dedicating a lot of time to learning,
• being patient
• learning how to read the dog’s behavior and reaction,
• not sticking the dog’s nose in the excrement when done in the wrong place,
• if you spread mats at home, it will be a signal for a dog that it can also be arranged inside, and not only outside.

First of all, you need to be consistent and learn to communicate with your dog, putting negative emotions aside, and remembering about small praise, nice gestures and snacks. However, you need to be moderate and not reward your dog at random times.

Designate a place

Of course, the best solution is to take it outside as often as possible, but it is worth choosing at home one place where the toddler will also be able to settle.

Special hygienic underlays with a waterproof bottom that are filled with absorbent fibers will help you keep clean. Many of them also absorb the smell of urine. Take your toddler to the mat as soon as you notice he is looking for a place to settle. Be sure to praise him and give him a treat if he pee on the mat. Strengthen good behavior, do not focus on mishaps. Ignoring the puddle in the middle of the living room will do better than punishing the dog. 

Be patient

You are certainly asking yourself “how long does it take to learn how to clean a puppy?” Unfortunately, this question cannot be given a precise answer. With puppies the situation is the same as with children – some learn to settle the potty faster, while others need more time. It all depends on the individual predispositions of the animal, but above all on your regularity and patience.

Remember that dogs learn cause-and-effect pairing fairly quickly when they have additional stimuli, e.g. treats. If you reward your pet for arranging it in the right place, you can count on fairly quick success. 

The older the animal, the longer the period. An annual pet should last all night. Regardless of the generally accepted norms, you have to adjust the regularity of going for walks to his needs.

An essay is a literary or literary-scientific form that combines journalistic, scientific or artistic elements. It presents the author’s point of view. The essay is not intended to comprehensively address the problem, it presents the author’s opinion on a topic. Often, drawing final conclusions is left to the reader who is to take his own position on a particular matter. How to write an essay?

Preparation for writing an essay

When we create a story, the story itself should be interesting. Interesting hero, captivating events and the story ended with a point. However, when we create an essay, history is not the most important thing. The most important is what we want to convey to our readers, our emotions, thoughts and reflections. Therefore, the essay is seemingly simple – after all, we can write about anything, but in reality it is a very difficult form to write.

1. Analyze the topic – make sure you understand the topic and question you were asked. Define your position;
2. Collect material – read the literature on the topic, review the press, video materials, interviews, etc. Talking with people dealing with the topic may be inspiring;
3. Take notes – take notes on a regular basis, record your observations. Your first response to a given material may be the most interesting;
4. Plan your essay – try to answer the question and arrange it into points. Check if the answer is exhaustive and whether you are moving away from the topic. Sort out theses, arguments and examples;
5. Start writing – write the introduction, present the next arguments in a logical order, support the collected materials (refer to literature, research, etc.), draw conclusions and refer critically to the problem you were considering

The layout of the essay

• Introduction – introducing the reader to the topic, information about the author’s view;
• Body – considering the author on a given topic, using references to various works, quotes, etc .;
• Conclusion – a summary of the main theses of the essay, conclusions, highlighting one’s own position in a given matter.

The essay should be subjective and reflective, but it should not be a chaotic stream of words thrown out by the author. An essay is a form in which the author can show the artistry of his writing. Maybe, when presenting your own feelings or reflections, reach for sophisticated stylistic measures – metaphors, digressions, and flashbacks.

Practical writing tips

• use the multitude and variety of stylistic clues and rhetorical figures.
• be unconventional, in the associations, the choice of material used, as well as the subject of the text;
• keep your brevity and clarity in thinking, and hence in writing
• think through the structure of the essay, loose composition of the text not only does not relieve intellectual discipline, but even requires it in particular;
• do not use calculations
• avoid auto-thematic phrases such as “at the beginning”, “at the end”, “now I will go to …”, “then I will discuss …;
