Ever have to reset your password on netflix, or just got rid of one account for a new one, or whatever the case? Then you go back to your xbox and realize you can’t access netflix anymore? Yea that sucks, when you realize theres no direct menu found anywhere to log you into netflix, and that when you load netflix all it does is cycle endlessly (maybe errors eventually) but pretty much offers no means of keying in your login details again. Well I’ve found myself a niffty little fix. And as stupid as its going to sound. It actually works.
Apparently Netflix has a built in hidden menu that you can access at any time when the app is open (usually a few seconds after its loaded, even in the title screen your stuck at)
To access it using the Direction (D-Pad), on the left side of the controller, and no not the joy stick, the one that resembles a circle, with the arrows, you know the one you barely touch anymore in games.. yea, that one.
Follow this Combination after you Open Netflix

If you did that correctly, a new menu should pop up, from which you can select “login” or various other settings you didnt know about. Have fun, also don’t go deleting your netflix application data like most bloggers will tell you to, cause all you’ll have for the effort of having to manually delete various bits, bit by bit is the need to redownload the whole netflix app, suffer through the updates, and all else. Only to and very likely be presented with the same situation that you have before you tried to delete the whole app.
How-to DIY: iPad/Tablet Holder from a DVD Case
Why spend $20-$50 or more on device to prop you’re iPad or other similar tablet/device up hands free when you can achieve the same effect for $2 or less. Chances are you already have the materials lying around the house to make this stand as is. All you need is a DVD / Game case (example below), A length of ribbon (or yarn or string or even a shoe lace) I’d say 6 to 8 inches give or take should be suitable, a pair of scissors, and about 3 minutes of your time.
