How To Download Instagram Videos

In this guide I’ll show you exactly how to download Instagram videos right from your computer web browser for free without installing any additional software. It’s super easy.

Once you find the video in your Instagram stream that you want to download, click the button to the bottom right of the video and then click “View Video Page”. Once the video page loads, right click on the background anywhere and choose “View Page Source”.

On the source page what you want to do is find the first link that ends in MP4. So you want to select the whole link from “https” all the way to “.mp4” without the quotations. Then right click that selection and choose “Go To” (or open a new tab in your browser and copy/paste the MP4 link into it and hit Enter) and it’ll take you to the link. The video will load in a new page, and just right click and choose “Save Video As”.

Here you can just save it to your computer so just click Save. The video files are pretty small so it should download fairly quickly. Once it’s downloaded you can view it on your computer, and you can do whatever you want with it. So that’s all there is to it.

How to Put Movies on iPad – Copy/Sync DVD Movies

How to Put Movies on an iPad

Mac users: click here to download MacX DVD Ripper Pro

Windows users: click here to download WinX DVD Ripper Platinum

This tutorial will show you how to put movies on your iPad. I’ll show you how to load that bad boy up with a bunch of movies so you can watch them on your iPad wherever you are. Basically there are two main ways to put movies on an iPad. The first way is through iTunes itself by buying them on the iTunes Store. The second way (which I’ll be showing you today) is copying movies from DVDs and putting them into iTunes then syncing them onto your iPad.

To do this you’ll be using DVD ripping software from a company called Digiarty. They have some of the best DVD Rippers for Mac & Windows so whatever operating system you’re on, click the link (links are at the top of this description). Download & install that program. For Mac it’s going to be Mac X DVD Ripper Pro. For Windows it’s going to be Win X DVD Ripper Platinum, but they both work exactly the same so you can follow along no matter what operating system you’re on.

After you’ve downloaded & installed it on your computer, open it up and you’ll see the application’s home screen. Next, insert the DVD movie into your DVD drive on your computer then click the DVD button in the top left of the program. It should display the name of the DVD movie in your drive then click OK. On the Output Profile window, go down to Apple Device and choose iPad Video, then choose your iPad model. Always choose the Recommended option for your device. Recommended just means the application has automatically selected the best quality options for your specific device. Click Done. The main movie file is already detected & selected so the only thing left to do is click Run, and the movie be copied to your Desktop folder in the iPad format. Bonus tip: if you want the movie file to be automatically imported into iTunes when it’s copied onto your computer click “Browse” then go into your music folder, iTunes folder, iTunes Media, then Automatically Add to iTunes and click Open. That way the movie file will be copied to that folder and automatically added to iTunes.

When the copy is complete you’ll see the folder pop up. If you chose to put it in the Automatically Add to iTunes folder you’ll see that this folder’s empty because it automatically added it to iTunes so just open up iTunes, go to the Movies section, and you’ll see it in there automatically. If you didn’t choose to put it in the Automatically Add to iTunes folder, just go to the folder where you copied it to (probably your Desktop) then drag and drop the video file into iTunes.

Now to actually put the movie on your iPad you’ll need to sync your iPad to your computer via the USB cable. Once your iPad shows up in iTunes, click it then click the Movies section and then select Sync Movies. If you want to add all the movies that are in your Movies section you can check “Automatically include all movies” and it will sync all the movies to your device. If you want to manually select certain movies, select each movie and click Apply. Now your movies will sync onto your iPad. That’s how to put movies on your iPad, by far the easiest and fastest way in my opinion to do that. This application can copy any DVD movie no matter what it is, and it can copy unlimited DVD movies so it’s definitely a must-have.

Ever wonder how to copy DVD movies to your Mac and convert them into high quality video files? This video will show you how to do exactly that! This is a quick video on how to rip a DVD on a Mac using Leawo DVD Ripper for Mac. Ripping a DVD is essentially copying a DVD movie onto your computer so you can have a digital copy of any DVD movie stored on your hard drive.

If you want to enter the name of the movie you can do so on this page. If you want to change the file format that the movie’s going to be in once it’s ripped onto your Mac, just click the device or file icon. If the DVD is going on a certain device you can select from many types of devices such as an iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad, Android, etc. If you plan on keeping it on your Mac, I suggest choosing HD Video or Common Video then choose the MP4 option.

Now you’re ready to rip the DVD onto your Mac so just hit the Start Convert button, and the DVD ripping process will begin. If you want the application to automatically open the folder where the movie file is located in, you can select Open Output Folder after conversion.

Top 7 New iOS 7 Features

iOS 7 is packed with many awesome new features. These are my top 7 best new features in iOS 7.

7. The New Design

The new modern design for iOS 7 is fresh, clean, flat, and minimalistic. Apple completely revamped the whole iOS environment and even redesigned all the default app icons. The new design is very transparent with a lot of translucency built into it. For example, you can see that the default weather app looks way better. It looks very similar to the new Yahoo weather app that just came out recently. Needless to say, I love this new design.

6. The New Siri

Siri got a redesigned interface, and it can do more tasks like change settings in your phone, turn on Bluetooth, check your voicemail, and all kinds of other cool stuff. It recognizes a more natural speech pattern, and you can actually change the voice. All you ladies out there who wanted a sexy Siri guy voice are now in luck. I still hope they give us the ability to turn off Siri’s annoying sound effect though. Maybe these new features in Siri will make me use it more because I never use Siri. Ever.

5. iTunes Radio

Apple’s new radio streaming service is similar to Pandora and Spotify. iTunes Radio is built natively into the music app in iOS 7. I feel like iTunes Radio might be a good competitor to Pandora and Spotify because it’s already on iOS 7 which gives it an advantage over third-party apps. I’m eager to experiment with iTunes Radio and see how well it works. Pandora and Spotify may be in for a fight.

4. Photos & Airdrop

The Photos app has a few new features called Collections and Moments. Photos are now organized by your location data and the time that you took the pictures. So say if you take a trip and you take pictures with your iPhone when you’re on that trip, the Photos app will organize the pictures based on that trip’s location and time. You will have the ability to go into each Collection or Moments where you can see different times during that trip. AirDrop is a cool new feature that basically lets you share anything that’s shareable (like a photo or video) with any of your friends that are in close proximity to you. You can even share it with people who aren’t your friends as long as they have Airdrop turned on and you give them access. This creates a super easy way to share stuff without emailing or messaging whatever you’re sharing.

3. The New Notification Center

The Notification Center was given some cool new features in iOS 7. It’s split up into three categories now: Today, All, and Missed. Today is just a basic glance at your day: the date, weather, any scheduled events on your calendar, any reminders, traffic, etc. You can access the Notification Center from any screen, even the lock screen. All shows all your notifications, and Missed shows any missed notifications. These new features should definitely make the Notification Center more intuitive to use in iOS 7.

2. The New Multitasking

This definitely needed an update. The new Multitasking in iOS 7 should make multitasking very efficient and easy to use. It shows off a new design. Now you can see all the icons that are running in the background along with a preview of them. To end a background app, just swipe up on the app’s preview. This allows you to get a better handling of background tasks along with a better view of all the background tasks. Another cool feature of iOS 7 is all your apps get automatically updated so you don’t have to worry about updating your apps manually. They all get pushed.

1. Control Center

Yes, we have all been waiting for Control Center. SBSettings is an app that has provided a similar functionality to jailbroken users for years. It’s definitely one of the most popular because everybody loves those quick shortcuts to changing settings. That’s what the new Control Center for iOS 7 does. It gives you quick access to changing settings, turning Wi-Fi off, turning airplane mode on, changing brightness levels, iPod controls, calculator shortcut, etc. Control Center even has a built-in flashlight app so you don’t have to go out and download a third-party flashlight app. To access the Control Center, just swipe up from the bottom on whatever screen you’re on, even the lock screen. It gives you quick access to different things that you can change, enable, or activate. Control Center may not seem like much, but I promise it will give you a better iOS experience in the long run.
