How to delete Instagram account step by step

by

After weeks when you’ve hardly ever opened the app, did you realize that you can easily do everything without Instagram but do not know how to deactivate your account?

Would you like to temporarily disable your Instagram profile to be able to reorganize and take care of it more closely in the coming months?

You’ve come to the right place at the right time.

With today’s guide, we will see together how to delete ourselves from Instagram and how to deactivate accounts on a temporary basis: two very simple operations that require very little time to be completed.

The only problem – if we want to define it – is that you have to connect to the service’s website and you can not act directly from the smartphone app, but this is really a very minor detail.

Once connected to the Internet site of Instagram (from smartphone, PC or tablet) just a few clicks to exit the social network temporarily or permanently delete photos, like and all the information related to your account.

Are you ready to start? Find all the information you need right below.

Preliminary operations: backup

If you have decided to close your Instagram profile permanently, before proceeding with the action make a complete backup of all the photos you have uploaded on the social network.

To do this I suggest you to rely on 4K Stogram, a free software for Windows and Mac OS X that in one go download all the photos (and videos) on an Instagram profile, for a maximum of two profiles at the same time.

By purchasing the Pro version of the software (€ 9.95) you can download photos of multiple users at the same time, but for now, this feature does not help you.

To download 4K Stogram to your PC, connect to the program’s website and click the Download 4K Stogram button. Then start the installation package called  4kstogram_xx.exe and click on Yes first and then OK.

Now put the check mark next to the item I accept the terms of the license agreement and press first on Next three consecutive times and then on Install and Finish to finish the setup.

If you use a Mac, to install 4K Stogram you have to open the dmg package you downloaded from the Internet and you have to copy the program icon in the Applications folder of OS X. Everything here.

Now start 4K Stogram, type your username in the search bar at the top and click on the Subscribe button to start downloading all your photos and videos (which are automatically saved in the Pictures/Stogram folder on your computer).

If you are asked to support the app by sharing a post on Facebook, you refuse, it is not necessary. More info on the operation of 4K Stogram and other similar tools are available in my tutorial on how to download photos from Instagram.

How to unsubscribe from Instagram permanently

Now let’s move on to action, let’s see how can we delete ourselves from Instagram in a definitive way. To delete your account from Instagram permanently, linked to this page from your computer or smartphone and, if required, access the service by typing your username and password.

When logged in, indicate why you want to unsubscribe from Instagram using the drop-down menu.

Why are you deleting your account?  Among the options available there are concerns ab[appbox firefoxmarketplace ][appbox firefoxmarketplace ][appbox firefoxmarketplace ]out privacy, the creation of another account, difficulty in finding followers and other reasons: you choose the one that you consider most compatible with your situation.

Then enter the password of your Instagram account in the text field that appears at the bottom of the page and press the button Delete my account permanently to delete you permanently from Instagram.

It is important to note that once an account has been deleted on Instagram, it is impossible to reactivate it. All photos, likes and data saved on the service are deleted and it is even impossible to register again on the social network using the same username. In short, think well before taking this step!

Without this clarification, I remind you that after the cancellation of the account you can safely delete the Instagram app from your phone: on the iPhone just hold your finger on its icon for a few seconds and press the x that appears in the upper left, on Android instead you have to go to Settings> App and first press the Instagram icon and then the Uninstall button.

How to deactivate an Instagram account

To deactivate your Instagram account temporarily, connected to the service’s website  (instagram.com) from your computer, smartphone or tablet and log in by clicking on the Login button as [your name]. If you do not see the button to log in, click on the item Do you have an account? Login that is at the bottom and connected to your account by filling out the form that is proposed to you.

In the page that opens, click on the icon of the man placed at the top right and press the button Edit the profile on the page of your personal profile.

Now select the item Temporarily disable my account at the bottom of the screen, choose the reason why you are deactivating your profile (eg I need a break ) from the drop-down menu Why are you deactivating your account? and complete the operation by typing the Instagram password in the appropriate text field and pressing the button Temporarily disable the account.

Subsequently, to reactivate your account, all you need to do is log in to Instagram using your account and confirm your willingness to reopen your profile.

If you do not want to completely deactivate your account but only make it private (ie allow it to be viewed by old followers and the people you provide the link to), open the Instagram app on your smartphone and press first the icon of the little man placed in bottom right and then on the button (…) in the upper right corner. Then move the lever on the Private Account option to ON and you’re done.

Note: Deactivation of the Instagram account can be done at most once a week. Do not abuse this feature.

Best places to find jobs online in 2018

by

Finding work is very difficult in our day, with full employment offices and employers who require a lot of experience and qualifications to be able to aspire to the most desired places.

In a scenario where unemployment does not tend to fall (on the contrary), we can also find work using the Internet, where every day many companies and shops place ads to find professionals for practice in any sector.

Without detracting from the search for classic work (in which the person is presented directly in a shop or in a company looking for a job), we can help in the search for a new job by some specialized sites and looking directly at the ad sites.

In this guide, we will see together the best sites to send the curriculum to find work, the most used by companies to hire new employees.

What you need to look for a job online?

Before you start looking for a job online, make sure you have the following information or documents at your fingertips:

– Curriculum Vitae (CV): the curriculum is very important because it will show the recruiter your skills, your past jobs and the experience accumulated in a specific sector.

If you are a beginner with the job, turn to internship announcements, so you can easily accumulate experience; if instead, you have a few years on your shoulders, insert in the curriculum as much information as possible on the places you have visited for work.

In the CV let’s make sure that there is a recent photo in our photo card format (usually at the top right of the first page of the CV).

– Cover letter (Cover letter): many companies start to ask for a letter of introduction to candidates; this document must be very precise because in fact it is our visiting card in the eyes of the selector.

We enter all the data as if we were writing a formal letter and make a summary of the capabilities we hold and what we expect from the work we intend to undertake; choosing the right words could open the way for you to work much faster than a full-bodied curriculum.

The letter of presentation must be different for each ad: customize it according to the type of company you contact, keeping only the introductory part the same on all letters.

Even if the company did not ask you for the cover letter explicitly, keep this format to write in the text field provided by the site or in the email you send to apply.- Contacts: in order to be recalled by the selector, we always insert a mobile phone number both in the CV and in the letter of presentation, so as to be easily reachable to fix a presentation interview.

Let’s not just rely on e-mails or other digital communication systems: one of the first tests that recruiters do is to feel how we act on the phone and how we answer the usual questions, so it’s essential that they can immediately hear you talking on the phone (in particular if you have chosen a job of contact with colleagues or with other people).

– Certificates: in order to demonstrate your specialized skills, we should make a copy of the certificates and specializations acquired in the field (possibly still valid) and insert these copies as attachments to the CV.
In some trades, being skilled is a godsend and could immediately open the door to new work.

– Diversification: if we are going to respond to more ads in completely different sectors, let’s make sure to prepare a CV and a cover letter for each sector in which we want to find work.
For example, if we want to jump into logistics and at the same time respond to ads for some stores, let’s make sure we have a folder for each sector in which we want to look for work, with a CV and an adequate letter of presentation inside each one.

Using a single CV to respond to the largest number of ads without any criteria is the easiest way to not find a job.

– Update: we continuously update the CV with all the new work experience, so as to have it ready in case of need.
By doing so we will be sure to provide the best possible curriculum in the ads.

These are the information and documents to prepare before looking for any online job.
As you can see, it’s not much different from looking for work physically turning offices and companies!

The secret to finding a job is in perseverance : do not give up on the first difficulties, the first silences or the first waste, keep looking for new announcements, contact also the companies that have refused (after 1 month at least) and improve the letter of presentation and the CV, the details and the care with which you will keep these documents will make the difference sooner or later.

The best sites and apps to find work 

After seeing what documents and information prepared to find work online, in this part of the guide we will show you the best sites and apps to look for a new job.

Note: All these websites have different apps for different countries so you can download these apps from PlayStore or iTunes according to your country.

1) Monster

The historically most popular site in the world to find work is definitely Monster.

On this site, just enter the type of work sought and the area in which we are interested in finding employment and get many good results.

The ads are all fairly recent and will put you in touch with a large number of companies, even the largest.

We can visit the site from here -> Monster

2)Infojobs

Another leading site in the indexing of job advertisements (specialized or not) is Infojobs.

We can either take a look at the existing ads (using the search bar or one of the contextualised menus) or create a user profile in order to get targeted ads only.

But unfortunately, this awesome site is available in just Spain, Italy and Brazil.

We can visit the site from here -> Infojobs

3) LinkedIn

LinkedIn is a social network designed to offer a communication tool between the companies they hire and the workers.

By creating your profile on LinkedIn and attaching all the documents that certify work skills (from the CV to the masters obtained) we will allow companies to look for our profile, especially if it matches their needs, and then find the most suitable job for our qualifications.

LinkedIn is a new way to look for work, but if well exploited it will allow to find the job quickly and to leave the interested party with a margin of choice (answering only to interesting requests).

4) Jobrapido

If the sites presented so far have not convinced you, we can focus on the search engine of the ads, namely Jobrapido.

On this site, simply enter the type of job you are looking for and the area where we are willing to work to receive hundreds of relevant ads.

If we do not immediately find what we are looking for, we can always activate email notifications, so as to be among the first to respond to new announcements as soon as they are entered.
The site can be reached here -> Jobrapido

5) Manpower

If we look for a site where to find any type of job advertisement, even for abroad, we can turn to the service offered by Manpower, always leader in the field of research of new uses.

The contact between workers and those looking for new workers is facilitated by the integrated system of communication on the site, the system of management of profiles (with targeted ads) and the many tools offered by the site.

We can visit the site from here -> Manpower

6) Adecco

 

Adecco is one of the best companies specialized in providing job advertisements to large companies (including multinational companies).

Fix no GRUB menu on dual boot windows 10

by

Have you just re-installed Windows on a computer which also has Linux and when you turn on your PC but you are no longer allowed to choose which operating system you want to use?

Don’t worry, this is a fairly common problem and for this, you just have to restore GRUB and your problem will get solved with just a blink of eye.

Don’t you know what I’m talking about? I’ll explain it to you right away.

GRUB (acronym GRand Unified Bootloader) is the bootloader which is used by many Linux distributions, such as the famous Ubuntu, to manage the operating systems installed on the computer.

In other words, it is the software that looks at the operating systems are installed on the PC and allows you to choose which one to start after switching on the machine.

Restoring it is much simpler than it seems. To do that, you don’t need to format your computer’s hard drive or reinstall one of the operating systems already on your PC.

Follow the instructions below to restore the GRUB initial menu:

First step

If you want to restore GRUB because you installed Windows after Linux and now you no longer have the option to choose which operating system to start when the PC is switched on, follow the instructions below.

For this, you need to get a live version of Ubuntu or Boot Repair Disk, a “first aid” distros that contains the necessary tool to repair the Linux boot loader. Now download one of the two solutions I have just suggested to you, for Ubuntu.

If you are downloading Ubuntu then select the version from 32-bit or 64-bit operating system from the drop down menu and then press the button start the download.

If you want to download Boot Repair Disk just click on the boot-repair-disk-32bit.iso entry or the boot-repair-disk-64bit.iso entry(depending on whether you want to download the 32- or 64-bit version of the distro).

Once the download is complete, copy the ISO file to a disk or USB stick.

Now burn the ISO image of Ubuntu or Boot Repair Disk on a DVD use the software that I have recommended in my guide on how to burn ISO (eg ImgBurn ). You can also copy it on a USB stick using the free UNetbootin to install ubuntu from your USB.

Once you have your bootable CD or USB stick with Ubuntu or Boot Repair Disk, boot from the latter and follow the steps that are shown in the following sections of the guide.

Note: I recommend the second option between CD and USB stick, but it is not mandatory. Please note that if you use a computer based on the UEFI system (and not the old BIOS) you must use the 64-bit version of Ubuntu/Boot Repair Disk.

Ubuntu

If you are using a live version of Ubuntu, start the operating system from the first screen and then Try Ubuntu option without installing it from the next.

Then, enable an Internet connection by connecting your computer to the router via an Ethernet cable or by choosing one of the Wi-Fi networks available in the menu at the top right (the icon of the Wi-Fi clutches).

Once you have established your Internet connection, open the Terminal and type the following by pressing the Enter key successively and typing the password for your user account.

  • To add the Boot Repair program repository to the Ubuntu software sources (press Enter to confirm the operation)
    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair
  • To update the Ubuntu software source database
    sudo apt-get update
  • To install and start the Boot Repair utility.
    sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && boot-repair

In the window that opens, click the Recommended repair button, wait a few moments to restore GRUB and click OK to save the changes. Then restart the PC and GRUB should be back in its place.

Boot Repair Disk

If you are using Boot Repair Disk, select your language from the initial language selection menu, start the distro (select the 64bit version or 32bit version option from the next screen, depending on the version you are using) and wait for it to start automatically the Boot Repair utility.

Then click on the Recommended repair button, wait a few moments to restore the GRUB bootloader and press OK to save the changes. At this point, restart your computer and you should again be able to choose which operating system to boot between Linux and Windows.

In case of problems

Main solutions

Have you installed Ubuntu (or another Linux distro) but GRUB does not appear? Does it start Windows directly instead?

In this case, if you believe you have a computer based on the UEFI system, restoring the bootloader may not be useful.

What you need to do is access the UEFI firmware settings by pressing F2 or any other key indicated in the computer startup screen, look for the UEFI Boot Option Priority settings, Boot Option Menu or Boot priority order and select GRUB (or Ubuntu ) as the boot loader to be used when the PC is switched on.

Another possible solution to the failure of GRUB is to access the Windows Command Prompt, type the command

bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi

and press the Enter key on the PC keyboard.

This will force the Windows boot manager to “see” the GRUB information in the EFI hard disk partitions (the one containing the data useful at the start of the various operating systems).

If you can not access the UEFI firmware configuration panel by pressing F2 or another key when the computer is turned on, try to act directly from Windows 8/8.x and later. Let’s see how.

  • If you are using Windows 8/8.x, click the Start button, type the term settings in the search field that is shown to you and select the PC Settings icon from the search results. Then click on the items Update and Recovery and Recovery in the left sidebar, press the button Restart now that is under the heading Advanced startup and wait for the screen to appear with the Windows startup options.
  • If you are using Windows 10, click on the Start button, click on the Settings icon (the gear wheel on the left) and then press the Update and Security icon. At this point, click on the Restore item on the left, locate the words Advanced Restart and then press the Restart now button and wait for the sender to appear with the system startup options.

Now select the Troubleshooting, Advanced Options, UEFI Firmware Settings and Startup settings and you should be able to access the UEFI firmware settings.

You can also deactivate fast boot function of Windows 8/8.x and later to access the GRUB menu. To do so, access the Windows Control Panel (the classic one), search for the term power in the search bar at the top right and click on the Change button behavior of the power buttons.

Now, click on the Change settings currently unavailable, uncheck the item Activate Quick Start and press Save Changes to save the settings.

Many UEFI-based computers have the so-called BIOS Legacy Mode which is a special boot mode that lets you emulate old BIOS and use compatible operating systems only with the latter (like older versions of Windows and Ubuntu).

In some cases, it may happen that you have installed Linux in BIOS mode instead of UEFI and this causes the inability to start Windows. In fact, it is not possible to dual-boot two operating systems if they are installed in different modes (one in UEFI mode and one in BIOS Legacy mode).

To solve the problem and restore the dual-boot you have to convert the installation of Linux to the same mode in which Windows is installed: You can do it with the Boot Repair utility of which we talked about at the beginning of the guide.

  • To convert Linux to UEFI mode you need to start Boot Repair and activate the panel with the Advanced options, then select the GRUB Position tab, put the check on separate Partition/boot/efi and click Apply.
  • To convert Linux to BIOS Legacy mode, start Boot Repair and activate the panel with Advanced Options, then select the GRUB Position tab, uncheck the separate Partition/boot/efi item and click Apply.

Finally, enter into the UEFI firmware configuration panel and choose whether to start the computer in UEFI or Legacy mode.

Other possible solutons

Keep in mind, however, that the ones I just suggested are just some of the possible ways to restore GRUB, those useful to solve the problem in most cases. However, there are specific situations where it may be necessary to follow some other procedure or integrate other steps to those we have just seen together.

To resolve any doubt on the question, I strongly encourage you to ask for help on the official forum of the Linux distro you use (eg the Ubuntu forum ): there you will surely find someone able to help you.

Also try to take a look at the official Ubuntu wiki where other procedures are described to solve boot problems in dual-boot systems.
