How to Keep Your Computer Clean and Fast

Computers play important roles in life today. People all over the world use computers for everything. As time goes on, we found our computer become slow but have no idea on how to make it fast. Now I will show some useful tips to keep computers clean and running faster.

  • Clean the desktop. Remove shortcuts and icons that are no longer use from the desktop
  • Only install software that you need to have running on your system. Having software on your computer that you don’t actually need only increases the amount of used disk space on the said drive, whether it be your operating system drive or a secondary or external drive.
  • Uninstall unused programs. Removing or uninstalling some unused programs can free up much spaces in hard disk drive. In Control Panel, use Add or Remove function to uninstall the unused applications completely. Or you can download a freeware program called Revo Uninstaller, which you can download for free.
  • Install an efficient antivirus program. Virus can harm the computer and make computer in poor performance. These virus may copy and download many malicious files on your disk. The efficient anti-virus program can help block and remove virus on the computer. Even if you don’t want to pay for security software, there’s no excuse not to download a free Anti-Virus program such as AVG or Avast.
  • Clean up corrupt registry entries. When you install or uninstall programs, the registry files are created or modified. The registry file should be removed automatically but some software developer won’t add necessary code to delete the registry files. The registry entris will be more and more if you don’t clean them. If you are not an expert on computer, you are recommended to install software to clean up registry entries. For registry cleaning, we do not recommend a manual removal, since any improper deletion of registry entries may result in severe computer problems. we  advise you to use some cleaner tool, such as Glary Utilities or CCleaner help you clean them. Learn more here.

How to Transfer Songs From CD to iPod, iPhone, or iPad

To get a music CD transferred over to your iPod, iPhone, or iPad, you’ll have to import it into iTunes first. Here’s how to transfer specific songs or all songs from a CD.

  • Open iTunes and insert the CD that you wish to import into the disc drive.
  • You might get a prompt to import the CD. If you want to import every song on the disc, select “Yes” and skip to Step 5. If you only want to import specific songs from the CD, select “No“.

iTunes Prompt to import CD

  • Select the CD icon located at the upper-left area of the screen.

iTunes CD Icon

  • Check the items you wish to import to iTunes, then select “Import CD“.

  • Select your preferences for the import. You can use the AAC Encoder, MP3 or other. Select “OK” once you’re done with your selections.

  • If your music library already contains tracks from the album you are importing, you will receive a prompt to overwrite them. Choose to “Replace Existing” or “Don’t Replace” as desired.

  • Wait while the music is ripped to your iTunes library.
  • Once the import is complete, attach your Apple device to the computer.
  • Select the “Music” option at the upper-left portion of the screen to display all songs in your iTunes library.
  • You can now drag the songs you imported to the leftside of the iTunes window where a pane will appear containing the music on your device. Drop it right on your iPhone, iPod or other device.

Some older music CDs may actually be protected with DRM. You will need to use third-party software that allows access to import a disc like this. In some countries, there is some debate as to whether it is legal or not to use software to copy music off a DRM protected CD. Be sure you are following all applicable laws in your area if you attempt to do this.
