In this tutorial, we'll show you how you can edit the DNS settings on your wireless router if you're experiencing slower internet speeds than you should be.
Learn how to change the email address to start new iMessages conversations from on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac for privacy and other reasons.

Apple provides a way to change your Apple ID email address so you can use something different to sign into everything you use. In this tutorial, we'll show you how that's done.

Email addresses can be long and annoying to type, especially when you're one of those goofballs out there with the weird emails like iph0n3_fan_09325@emailaddress.com, or something else with a bunch of wonky characters you don't care to remember or spend the time typing.
