How To add Pinterest's "Pin It" button to your iPad or iPhone for Free

Dont waste your money on those apps in the app store. All they do is give you a line of text to copy and paste into your bookmarks menu. The following tutorial will show you how to do just that! You may want to open my instructions on a separate tab from your iPad/iPhone.


1. First you want to open Safari from your iPad and go to http://www.pinterest.com

2. Next you will want to add this webpage as a bookmark. Be careful to see that you are adding the bookmark into the root of the bookmarks folder and not nested into some folders or else it might be hard for you to find it.

3. Give the Bookmark a name and Save it. This is going to be our "Pinterest It" button so I gave when ahead and gave it the same name.  You can give it any name you prefer, it will still work the same.

4. Now tap your bookmarks and then tap the "Edit" button inside of the bookmarks menu and then top on the "Pinterest It" bookmark that we made in the previous step.

5. You will now be able to edit the Address field of the bookmark. Go ahead and delete the entire address. You are going to want to copy the following line of code and paste it in place of the Address

COPY:

javascript:void((function()%7Bvar%20e=document.createElement('script');e.setAttribute('type','text/javascript');e.setAttribute('charset','UTF-8');e.setAttribute('src','http://iostranslate.appspot.com/js/pinmarklet.js?r='+Math.random()*99999999);document.body.appendChild(e)%7D)());

6. Tap your "Bookmarks" button to go back to the Bookmarks menu and then tap "Done".

 7. Try it out! Find a picture of something.

8. Tap your Bookmarks button and then tap the Pinterest It button that we created in the previous steps.

9. If you followed all of the steps correctly, you should then be given the choice of images you want to pin. Tap the image you wanted and then tap "Pin"

10. Now you can pin to Pinterest from your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch just the same as from your Desktop/laptop.

I have tested this on my Android and it does not work for me. So far I haven't found a solution for this but please let me know if you've found something for Droid!

Sync iTunes music with google music

Ever since I have switched to droid I have had problems keeping my files synchronized between my Droid and Apple devices that I also own. I used to plug my iPhone into my iMac and all of the music I wanted would transfer and synchronize automatically. There are different 3rd party applications that can synchronize your droid with iTunes but the process of setting those up can and maintaining them can be cumbersome and tedious. The best and easiest solution I have found to keep my music synchronized between google and iTunes uses no 3rd party software. In fact everything I have used to set this up is entirely 1st party.  That's right, google provides everything we need to get this working! If you would like to set this up on your computer follow the steps. (I am assuming you already have an account with google)

1. Go to http://music.google.com and log in with your google account. 

2. On the top right side of the page you will see a link that says "UPLOAD MUSIC" click on that link and it will take you to the page where you can download google's Music Manager.

3. After you have downloaded the Music Manager you will have to go through the installation. Installation can vary depending on your OS but for the most part it is the typical installation you should already be familiar with.

4. After you have signed in you can select the location to upload your music and set up other various options.

5. Upload times will vary depending on your Internet speed and the size/amount of music files you have in your music library.

6. You will see more and more of your music uploaded to google music and you can start using it while it is still uploading.

7. From your Droid device, open up the Market application.

8. Do a search for google music. It should be the first result in APPS

9. Install the Google Music App and Open it. The app will take you through some basic set up instructions to connect to your google account.

10. Listen to your music

You're all set up.  Enjoy!
