How to get ready for iOS 7

Who's ready for iOS 7? I know I sure am. There are a couple steps in getting ready for it all, though!

iCloud has already been (kinda) released (http://www.icloud.com), but you can't really use it unless you have iOS 7 or OSX Lion v. ll.0.5 So that's not very useful. But it's good to make sure that you have an apple id and that you know the password so that you can go ahead and log into iCloud before hand. If you don't already know the features of iCloud, go ahead and head on over to http://www.apple.com/icloud/. If you haven't heard about iOS 7 (which you should already), then go ahead and look at http://www.apple.com/ios/.

Custom Ringtones (How to)

As I continue to customize the experience of my iPhone, I venture into the fine arts of choosing a fitting ringtone. One app that has helped me tremendously is called "Ringtones 500,000". This app contains well over 500,000 ringtones for all different genres and styles. After a little bit of searching and filtering I finally decided on some "Electronic" style ringtones, which I thought fit myself pretty well. The process to get the ringtones onto your actual phone is a process, but it doesn't take to much time if, in fact, you know what you're doing.(I'll explain the steps later.)

My only major gripe about the app is that it is full of popup advertisements!!!

It seems that every other click is an advertiesment wanting me to buy or download something. Another flaw I found is that, since this is a free app, you can only download 10 ringtones before you have to buy the full version! Luckily, you can always preview any of the ringtones in full before you hit that "download" button. Choose wisely!Steps to get Ringtones onto your iPhone. This is how I did it, not the way the video says. I have a PC and not a Mac. (Video is below)
