Weather offline !

I was trying to check the weather using the widget included in iOS 5 in the notifications center and encountered the following message.

When I go to the wether app everything seems to be working fine.

Someone else having the same issue?

Super simple FaceTime Guide

Hello there ! In my previous post I talked about why I like Skype so much. I definitely use it more than any other option out there, however today I want to talk to you about Apple's FaceTime. As I've mentioned before, I am a Mac and iOS user, so when me and my wife started living together I bought her an iPad and an iPhone 4. Since sometimes I have to travel because of my day job, I thought it would be really useful to have the ability to call her using FaceTime without having to worry about the outrageous roaming charges most Phone companies charge.

Setting up your phone is quite simple. You need to do the following :

1) Go to "Settings"
2) Scroll down to "FaceTime" menu
3) At the top of the screen there is switch. Turn it on (or make sure it is already on)
4) Enter your Apple ID
5) Enter your email address

Great ! Now your phone is ready for FaceTime.

In order to make calls to your friends or family, you will need to follow the next easy steps.

1) From the home screen, go to "Contacts" app
2) At the right top of the screen touch the "+" sign
3) Add your contact's information. Make sure you add their iPhone cell phone number or their FaceTime email address.
4) To make a FaceTime call now you only need to browse and choose the person you want to call.
5) Once you are in the contact information page, touch the FaceTime button.

That's it !! Easy, right ?

Remember, one of the disadvantages of FaceTime is that you must be using a Wifi network for it to work. !!

Hope this simple steps are useful to you !  Please leave a comment with your feedback and your experience trying to configure FaceTime.

Cheers and see you soon !
