It will allow you to use any printer connected to your computer to use Airprint. The application has a free trial so you can try before you buy.

Redmond  Pie How to Video:

Microsoft just unveiled what will be Windows 8. They have a new look based on Microsoft’s Metro Design. They claim that it will work better, faster start up time, and a clean GUI are among their features. To start this on the right foot they have put up the developer versions on the web free to download and no activation required. Check it out, I put the links below.

They have a 32bit and 64bit versions available. The download is in the form of an ISO and I tried using something like VMware to do a virtual install but it did not work with any of the versions. I had to burn the ISO on a DVD and do an install on a machine I had laying around. I highly recommend to install this on a secondary computer or a computer you don’t mind wiping out. Happy computing!.

If you have Outlook 2007, or Outlook 2010 with Exchange server 2007 or 2010 and you are getting this password box every time you open Outlook, then I have a full proof fix below. This will especially help you if you have several exchange accounts in Outlook 2010. The fix below is assuming you have RPC installed in your exchange server. The tutorial below is on Windows 7 64BIT using Outlook 2010 and Exchange 2010.

The tutorial should work also on Outlook 2007 and Exchange 2007. By the way doing these changes also helped outlook connect to the exchange server quicker.

STEP1:

The first step will involve accessing your exchange server and opening IIS (Internet Information Services). Once you open it you will need to change the SSL Settings on the folders below.

Folders to edit: Autodiscover, Exchange, Exchweb, Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync, OAB, owa.

STEP2:

When you click on the SSL Settings for each of the folders mentioned above an option will open up, you will need to change the Client certificates option to Accept for all these folders. Save the settings for each of these folders.

STEP3:

Once you change all the folder SSL Settings, then click on the taskbar the start button and choose run, in the run window type CMD. A prompt window will appear, type IISRESET to restart the Internet Information Services Program. Now this part of the tutorial is complete. Now we need to edit the accounts on the workstation.

STEP4:

On the workstation, go to the control panel and look for an icon named Mail (32bit). Open it.

STEP5:

You will see a pop up box, choose the Email accounts button which will display the accounts you have configured for exchange. Choose the account from the list and click on the Change option.

STEP6:

When you choose the account a options box will appear, from the tabs choose the one named Connection. You will need to put a checkmark on the “Connect to Microsoft Exchange using HTTP” and then click on the “Exchange Proxy Settings” button.

On this final box you will need to fill in the https:// server information which should be the complete name of your exchange server. Then make sure you put a checkmark on the “On fast networks, connect using HTTP first, then connect using TCP/IP” option. Finally change the Authentication at the bottom to “Basic Authentication”. Now you are ready to open Outlook again.

STEP7:

Now when you open Outlook the Password box will change from the first image below to the one in the second image. Simply put your exchange username and password, and put a checkmark on “Remember my credentials”. Once completed, close outlook and when you reopen it no more password box. After months with this problem I finally got this fixed, I hope this works for you.

If you take advantage of jailbreaking your device to install apps from cydia or customize your iphone or ipad in a way that Apple does not allow then this is great.  You can upgrade your iPhone or iPad software to the latest  update of the firmware which is 4.3.2.
