How to enable iTunes Match on ios5

iTunes Match is now available in the UK and I have signed up for the £21.99 per annum service! What iTunes Match does is enable you to stream your music collection (upto 25,000 songs) on all of your itunes computers, Mac’s, iPhone, iPads and Apple TV.

You can sign up for this once you have downloaded iTunes 10.5.2. It took me a while to find out how to do it on my iOS5 devices, so have posted the instructions below. With thanks to Paul Sissons (of buymobiles.net) – You do need to turn the iTunes Match service up on your PC or Mac first. And also you don’t need to store the songs on your iOS device, you can stream them off the icloud as long as you have an internet connection.

First go to SETTINGS then MUSIC, a new switch appears called ITUNES MUSIC

Turn ITUNES MATCH on and enter your Apple ID, you will then get the following warning message

Just be wary that this does replace all of the music on your iOS5 device. Click ENABLE

Then decide if you want all of the music available on your iCloud to be shown on your iOS device.

Thats it! Easy!

Setting up a Mac Mini Server

So today I decided I was going to have a go at setting up the Mac Mini Server that I’ve had sitting around for the last year.

It did have Tiger Server on it but I decided to upgrade it to Lion via the App Store.

Downloading was easy enough, and when ready it gave me step by step instructions of how to start.

I will keep you posted as I progress through the installation.

iPhone Apps: Dominos Pizza

Another app to add to my favourites is the Dominos Pizza App!

Now you can order a pizza, exactly the way you want it, pay for it and watch it bake without even having to speak to anyone or switch on your computer… Genius!

The app is really easy to use and lists things like Side Orders, Deserts but more importantly the latest meal deals.

Great app for the couch potatoes!

Xbox 720 and New Kinect Rumours

An insider at Microsoft has told me a few of the plans for the new Xbox 720 and the latest Kinect. Also a possible deal with Sony to integrate the Kinect into their TV’s.

Microsoft are quite reluctant to announce any of these additional products as yet, as they are worried about effecting current sales.

The Xbox 720 will be a massive improvement on the current model with 3d capabilities and the fact that it will be more dependent on internet gaming.

I will post more information as I receive it.

Twitter RSS Feeds

As many of you maybe aware, Twitter has now stopped producing RSS feeds for Twitter Users, searches, etc.

There is a work around solution that you can use with your favourite RSS Feed;

http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.rss?screen_name={USERNAME}

For Example for me, it would be:

Hope this helps and if you have got any other work arounds, please do not hesitate in contacting me.
