If you're like most people, you probably have a lot of stuff. You could probably stand to get rid of some of it, but chances are you have a few things that need a little fixing. Here are some tips to help you get them back in top shape this weekend.
Fix Your Smartphone
If you're an iPhone user, there's a decent chance you broke your device just a little bit this week when you jailbroke. If that's the case, you can fix it right up with this patch. If you're ever having iPhone jailbreak issues in general, troubleshoot them with CrashReporter. Some common errors are easier to fix. Resetting your network settings will fix package errors in Cydia. Slowness is a common problem among jailbroken phones and it's not hard to fix the issue and speed your mobile back up. Non-jailbreak users may have run into apps getting stuck during the install process, which you can fix by <a href="">tapping the app to pause it and then starting it over via the updates section in the iTunes App Store. If your issues is hardware-related, however, just consult iFixIt's guides for help resolving the problem yourself (if you're comfortable, of course). Often times, however, you'll just have to rely on Apple to fix the problem for you.
Android users have a wider variety of issues because they have more freedom in what they can do with their phones. This flowchart is a good place to start when you're looking for troubleshooting methods. Some of Android's issues stem from annoyances more than anything, and we can help you fix most of them. If you're trying to figure out an app that's messing with your system, safe mode is a good place to start. Hopefully you'll never "brick" your Android, but if that happens we have a guide to help you fix it.
Fix Your Computer
Hopefully you won't have to fix your computer too often if you perform regular maintenance (whether you've got a Mac, Linux, or Windows PC), but perhaps that's wishful thinking. Perhaps you want to speed up your slow computer, repair a problematic hard drive, troubleshoot a flakey network, or improve your Wi-Fi signal. Computers are complicated machines, and many things can go wrong, but these common fixes and upgrades can help keep yours in top shape.
Fix Your Music Libraries
When music libraries grow, they become a little unwieldy. Sometimes tracks are missing their ID3 tags, album art disappears, duplicates show up, and a variety of other problems occur. Fixing them all manually takes more time than most have, and isn't exactly a fun task, but there are some ways to make the process easier. If metadata is your problem, we have acomplete guide to whipping it into shape. We also have several tips on getting your entire library clean and organized. If songs are wrong in Google Music, there's a quick fix for those, too. If you'd rather take a more hands-off approach to the process, TuneUp is a handy app that fixes issues in iTunes and Windows Media Player.
Fix Your Messed Up Clothing
Got a bad zipper for some reason? Here's every fix you'll ever need. Stretched out your sweater cuffs? Just grab a hair dryer. Did you accidentally shrink a shirt? Warm water and hair conditioner can restore it. If your shirt collars curl too much, iron on a patch. And, in the event you get pooped on, here's how to remove it properly.
Fix Your House or Apartment
Household issues happen often and the fastest way to resolve them is to fix the problem yourself. In the past we've shown you how to fix a stinky sink, repair a nail pop in your wall, loosen up a stuck drawer, get rid of clutter, unclog your toilet, fix a toilet valve, and much more. Most of the time it's just not worth paying for home repairs because you can do so many yourself on the cheap. Of course, that's not always the case. If you can't repair the problem yourself, a service called HouseFix can at least help you save money with contractors.
Good luck fixing your stuff, and have a great weekend!
