How to make a FaceTime call from your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

Apple makes sure you always have the things you want, like FaceTime. FaceTime is Apple's free video calling service. With a tap, you can make video calls over Wi-Fi from every iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac to someone else’s, anywhere in the world. What's more, you can even make FaceTime calls over cellular networks on iPhone or iPad as long as you have enough data from anywhere you have 3G or 4G LTE access. So today I am going to show you the easiest way to make a FaceTime from your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.

How to make a FaceTime call from your iPhone
To begin with, you should set up FaceTime first on your iPhone. Apple official website have detailed tutorial for you, just check it.
Then follow these simple steps to start:

1. Launch the Phone app from the Home screen of your iPhone.
2. Find the contact that you'd like to FaceTime. Remember, they must have an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac capable of receiving FaceTime calls as well.
3. Scroll all the way down on their contact card and tap on the option for FaceTime.
4. Make sure that you select the right one if you have multiple phone numbers and emails for that person.
5. The FaceTime call will connect and after a few seconds, you should see the person on the other end pick up. That's it!

Also, if you're already on a phone call with someone and want to FaceTime instead, you can easily convert the call to a FaceTime call in just a few short taps. Just Look at the call menu, Tap on the FaceTime option. If it's greyed out, that means FaceTime is not available or you can.

How to make a FaceTime call from your iPad or iPod touch
On the iPad and iPod touch, you'll need to be connected to a WiFi network. Once that's taken care of, you can get started with making FaceTime calls to other iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac users. That is a little different than making a FaceTime call on iPhone. Here's how...

1. Launch the FaceTime app from the Home screen of your iPad or iPod touch.
2. On the right hand side, you'll see the list of contacts that you have in your Address Book. Tap on the one you'd like to make a FaceTime call to.
3. You'll now see that person's Contact Card. You can select either their phone number or email. Remember they must have a FaceTime capable device as well or the session will fail.
4. The FaceTime call will now initiate.
5. Once the person on the other side accepts the video call, you'll see your iPad or iPod touch say Connecting. Then you should be able to communicate freely. That's all.

Everything you should know about the panorama on iPhone 4s/5

Apple didn’t spend too much time talking about the iSight camera at the iPhone 5′s unveil event because both of the iPhone 4s and iPhone 5 have an 8-megapixel camera. But is that mean the iPhone 5 camera mostly as the same as iPhone 45? You have been fooled if you think so.

The Camera on iPhone 5 features improvements including 40 percent faster photo capture, better low-light performance, and improved noise reduction. So people can snap more shots with more detail and clarity than ever before. Most important, the iPhone 5 have a new panorama feature with the new gyroscope, A6 chip, and Camera technology. The iPhone will stabilize any erratic motion, then stitch together a beautiful 240 degree picture. 

So if you want to take a better panorama photo on the iPhone 4s and 5, here is everything you should know.

How does it work?

You must update your iPhone 4S to iOS 6 then the panorama mode should already be built into the camera app. It is only running on iPhone 5 and 4S, others can’t and so does the iPad.

How to take panorama photos on your iPhone 5 or 4S

1. Launch the camera app on your iPhone 5 or 4S.

2. Tap on the Options button at the top of the screen.

3. Tap on the Panorama button.

4. You'll see an arrow in the center of your screen.

5. Tap the camera button to begin taking your panorama photo.

6. Try to keep the arrow in the center as much you possibly can.

7. Tap the Done button when you are finished taking your picture.

The key here to take a good panorama photo is to go slow and move steady. When take the phone, you should move the phone even slower, then you would possible get the best photos. If you begin to move too fast or get too far off center you'll see a message on the screen telling you how to correct it.

And if you don't want to take a full 240-degree photo, you can stop at any time by pressing the shutter button along the bottom. Whatever progress you have made will then be saved to your Camera Roll.

What’s the difference between Taking panorama pictures by the iPhone, and Apps?

Through apps while taking the panorama picture, you choose the panorama setting, stand in the same place and move around, and once you've finished it stitches the photos together. While By contrast, the iPhone 5 (and 4S) Panorama function lets you move around as you take the picture. You can move the camera up and down. 

It's not that Apple is first with a panoramic setting, but by compared with the Apps, we can easily find that Apple do better in this aspect.

How to sync your iPhone, iPad with Mountain Lion via iCloud

With the introduction of iCloud -- Apple's service for storing your data and content online rather than on your devices -- you can now sync all of your stuff wirelessly between your Mac, iPhone, and iPad. This is great for adding things like appointments into your calendar as they will instantly appear on all of the Apple gizmos you're using.

If you haven't set up iCloud on your devices, it's easy to do, but you have to ensure you're using the same Apple ID on all your gadgets. By default, my iPhone was set to the account I use for the App Store, which is different from my iCloud account.

To enable iCloud in Mountain Lion, the latest edition of Apple's Mac OS X, go to System Preferences and log in with the Apple ID you want to use. I choose to enable all of the services here, such as Find My Mac and Photo Stream, but you can just check the ones that you'll use if you prefer (see image below).

Finally, to make sure everything syncs with your iOS device, you'll have to enable the same options. To do this, go to Settings > iCloud on your iPhone or iPad and check that your account is the same as the one on your Mac and that the same services have been enabled.

On iOS 6, you can sync data from apps such as Mail and Calendar, but all of your open tabs will sync over to the new Safari as well if you're using Mountain Lion. This is a really useful feature if you're browsing at home and have to rush out, but want to continue what you were doing online.
