iTunes 64 bits

Posted by Sulaiman Alhasawi on Jul 17, 2010 in Alhasawi, Kuwaiti Blog, iPhone, iPhone apps

I’m now in London with my family. I will stay in London for two weeks. After that I will head back to my home country “Kuwait” which I haven’t been there for more than a year.I found a site that had a solution that helped me  install iTunes for my laptop running  windows 7 64 bits. I had a problem installing it before , because the main website did not provide the right 64 bits  file. Here is the link and have fun : http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1037 .  Once the file is download and installed, do an upgrade to the earlier version.I did all that and its working now. Now I can get my old apps. This is my second iphone (3gs) my first one was a 3g which was ruined when it fell in the water :) Both of them were given to me as a gift.  My wife bought me the first , and my parents bought me the second one . I’m thankful to both.

I will give you a link of very good and useful iPhones apps for London city:  The Ultimate London iPhone App Review List – The Top 19 London Apps for iPhone !

Iceland Volcano Opportunities

Posted by Sulaiman Alhasawi on Apr 21, 2010 in Entrepreneur, iPhone, iPhone apps

Many businesses and entrepreneurs got affected badly in this current natural disaster the ” Iceland Volcano”. Airplanes around the world lost enormous money due to not flying . Business deals, imports and exports were halted. Countries were governed remotely. The Norwegian prime minster ran his government while he was in USA using his iPad.  The flip side of that scenario is others started to make a fortune out of the current incidence. For example, ferries are in a big demand, and I’m sure many other enterprises benefited as well. SO what I’m saying here, is problems create opportunities for the prepared minded.

Lonely Planet – the tourism guides company, offered and still offering travelers who  use iPhone, to download 13 European guides from Apple store for free.  Those guides-apps were not free before the Iceland eruption. The offer is valid until tomorrow- Thursday April 22nd.  I find this a great way to help travelers who got stuck in Europe (because it is the most affected continent from Iceland volcano) to manage or even survive. It is also an oblique way to increase Lonely Planet’s reputation and maybe its profits in the future.

To get those guides, go to Apple store through your iPhone or your computer’s iTunes and type Lonely Planet. You should get the following countries:

  1. Amsterdam
  2. Barcelona
  3. Berlin
  4. Budapest
  5. Copenhagen
  6. Istanbul
  7. London
  8. Moscow
  9. Munich
  10. Paris
  11. Rome
  12. Stockholm
  13. Vienna

Governments also played a big role. For example, The Kuwaiti government did not hesitate to help its stuck citizens in Europe to pay for their accommodation until they  get back to Kuwait.  I’m sure other government did the same as well. The Crisis teaches us something and we must learn from it. Opportunities always present themselves in the time of problems, and those who are prepared mentally shall see them.
