How to speed up your WiFi connection

Wi-Fi is something we have all become accustomed to and really take for granted. Every time we go somewhere with our laptops in the city or in a highly trafficked place, we for the most part can get instant internet access with a wireless network. Though the first thing people complain about when they connect to these open networks, wherever they may be, is the speed. For instance, I am currently writing this article in my local Starbucks and there are 4 people with laptops, about 6 with their phones out and 2 with iPads. — Our “How To” after the break!

How to fix The Dungeon Fighter "Black Box" Crash

 

The popular genre crossing acrade beat’em-up/MMO Dungeon Fighter by Nexon, has been experincing a major error ever since the update balancing the priest class, along with other changes, over two months ago. The problem was when you started the game client, a black box would appear on your screen, then it would disappear, and then the game wouldn’t start up. After 2 months, Nexon still hasn’t released a way to fix the problem, even though over one third of the games population is affected by the problem — Luckly for you, us here at T3ch H3lp have the fix!

Automatically Import Files into iTunes with iTunes Folder Watch

We all wish iTunes was a far more robust music player, but somehow we all make due. However, there’s one thing that I just can’t take anymore, and that’s iTunes not recognizing when new files have been added into folders I’ve already imported into the iTunes library before. Well, finally there’s an app for that! 

When running, iTunes Folder Watch automatically imports newly added media files from within pre-selected to the iTunes library. And to make the process even easier, the application also creates a playlist that displays all the recently imported songs and videos, so you can see how they’ve been tagged.
