Can’t buy free apps on iPad?

I bought the iPad but I was really pissed off that I can’t seem to  buy any free app.

I had an apple id, but then it wanted me to give my credit card details to download a free app too…Pch!!!

So I googled a bit and got this solution…

 

  1. Create an apple id if you don’t have one
  2. Now download the iTunes app on your computer
  3. Open iTunes and follow these steps:
    1. Go to iTunes Store under the “Store” category on your left side panel
    2. Now go to “Apps Store” on the top panel
    3. You will see “Top Free Apps” on the right side panel (Scroll down if you don’t see)
    4. Mouse over any of the free apps listed
    5. Click on the app name (Don’t click on the free button shown when we mouse over)
    6. Then you will be asked to signin – sign in with your apple id
    7. Then you will be asked to “review”
    8. Go ahead and select “none” on the payment screen
    9. Screen will be similar to this: http://www.simonblog.com/2011/01/09/why-there-is-no-none-option-when-registering-itunes-account/

Enjoy the free apps download from any of your iOS devices (iPad or iPhone)!!

wget error–“zsh: parse error near &”

There is no doubt that I prefer wget way over any other type of downloads… Syntax: wget <DOWNLOAD_URL>   If you get this error “ zsh: parse error near & ” then its probably because your download URL has a “&” so you should try giving your DOWNLOAD_URL in double quotes wget “<DOWNLOAD_URL>”   If you are trying to download from a site which needs you to give your credentials then you can try giving it this way wget --http-user=<UserName> --http-password=<Password> “<DOWNLOAD_URL>”   Hope this helps

Resetting all the keyring passwords:  Navigate to  Places > Home . Press  ctrl   h  t o view "hidden files". Navigate to  .gnome2 > keyrings and delete   login.keyring Using the same keyring (resetting keyring password but keeping old passwords in keyring): 1) Make a backup of the keyring cd ~/.local/share/keyrings/ cp login.keyring login.keyring.backup and after that delete  login.keyring  file rm ~/.local/share/keyrings/login.keyring 2) Create a new keyring file from Gnome Keyring with the name "login" 3) Replace the new keyring file with the backup of the old keyring file cd ~/.local/share/keyrings/ mv login.keyring.backup login.keyring Note: before Ubuntu 12.10 the path to the keyrings folder was   ~/.gnome2/keyrings/   instead of  ~/.local/share/keyrings/
