Q: Some people tend to nod their head as a sign that they are listening. However, he may interpret this as a sign of agreement, even if you do not agree with what he is saying. Be aware of your body language. If you find yourself nodding, even if you disagree, correct your body language. For example, instead of nodding your head, you can say, "I see what you are saying," or "Ok, that makes sense, but I have a different opinion." Don't misinterpret neutral body language for boredom or inattentiveness. He is most likely processing the information that you are telling him. Once you are finished talking, ask for his input instead. For example, instead of asking him, "Are you even listening?" or "Did you hear me?" say, "Does that make sense? Let me know if I need to clarify anything." While you are talking, you may remember something else that you want to talk about. However, for the sake of the current conversation, save that conversation for a later date. If you bring up another subject, he may lose focus and become distracted. Remember that you must come to some kind of solution or conclusion at the end of the current conversation in order to move forward. Some men may be very talkative and outgoing. Others may be more introverted and quiet. Make sure that you're adapting to the man's unique communication style. If the man is very quiet or terse, try asking more open-ended questions to get him to open up. If the man is very talkative, make sure to listen without interrupting. Offer interesting comments on his stories. Some men may communicate best in a quiet, private space while others will feel very comfortable out in busy, public spaces.
A: Nod your head only if you are in agreement with him. Avoid assuming he hasn't heard what you said. Stick to the subject. Adjust your tactics based on the man's communication style.

Q: For the best and easiest connectivity, ensure that iTunes has been updated to the latest version. See this guide for details on updating iTunes. You will need to be signed in with your Apple ID in order to make purchases or download free apps from the iTunes App Store. This will need to be the same Apple ID that is assigned to your iPad. To sign in with your Apple ID, click Store → Sign In... Your iPad comes with a USB cord; use it to connect your device to the computer. iTunes should automatically open when you plug your iPad to the computer; if not, run the iTunes program from your PC or Mac. Click the "iTunes Store" button in the upper-right corner, or select Store → Home. Click the Apps tab at the top of the store to open the App Store.  You can search the store for specific apps, or browse the top app categories. To get an app, click the "Free" or "Price" button on the app details page. If the app costs money, you will need to purchase it with the credit card associated with your Apple ID, or your gift card balance. Gift cards are not available in all countries. Once you've purchased the app or clicked the "Free" button, you can download the app to your computer. Your new app will be automatically set to sync with your iPad. You can manage which apps will be synced with your iPad. Your iPad will be listed in the "Devices" section of the sidebar. Select it to open your iPad settings. If you cannot see the sidebar, click View → Hide Sidebar. This will open the App Manager for your iPad. Ensure that the "Sync Apps" box at the top of the screen is checked. Check each app that you want to sync to your iPad. Uncheck apps that you want to remove from your iPad. You can also drag and drop apps onto the simulated iPad screen, and rearrange the apps that are on it. Once you are satisfied with your app selection, click Apply at the bottom of the window. The apps will begin syncing with your iPad. You can monitor the sync process from the display at the top of the screen. Once the sync process is complete, right-click on your iPad in the "Devices" section of the sidebar. Select Eject. This will allow you to safely disconnect your iPad from your computer.
A: Update iTunes. Sign in with your Apple ID. Connect your iPad to your computer. Get apps from the iTunes App Store. Select your iPad from the Devices menu. Click the "Apps" tab. Choose which apps you want to sync. Sync your apps. Eject your iPad.

Q: Turn the balance wheel at the right side of the machine, doing so until the needle reaches its highest position.  Note that the machine should be turned off at this point to minimize the risk of injury or damage. Only turn the balance wheel toward you, moving it counterclockwise. Do not turn it away from you. If necessary, raise the presser foot lever at this time, as well. Open the shuttle cover and lift the bobbin case out of the machine by pulling on the bobbin case latch.  The shuttle cover should be located behind the extension table and on the front of the machine. Pull the bobbin case latch toward you. You should feel the case loosen from within the machine. Continue pulling the latch toward you to remove the case from the machine completely. Slide the bobbin into the bobbin case and slip the bobbin thread tail through the slot in the case.  Unwind roughly 4 inches (10 cm) of thread before placing the bobbin in its case. This is the tail of thread you'll need to work with in this step. Hold the bobbin case so that the hook of the latch rests on your thumb. Hold the bobbin so that thread appears to wrap around in a clockwise rotation. Slip the bobbin into its case with the tail of thread hanging out. Pull the tail of thread into the natural groove of the case, sliding it until it fits under the spring clip and through the thread guide hole (delivery eye) of the case. Hold the bobbin case by its latch again, then insert it back into the machine. Release the latch after the bobbin case locks in place.  The latch of the case should fit into the notch at the top of the shuttle race inside the machine. If loaded properly, the case should not be able to move around inside the machine. Turn the balance wheel at the right side of the machine, moving it toward you (a counterclockwise rotation). The needle must sink into the base of the machine and rise back up to its highest position again.  Firmly hold the end of the upper needle thread with your left hand while turning the balance wheel with your right, applying a light amount of tension to that thread in the process. Do not turn the balance wheel away from you (a clockwise rotation). If done correctly, the upper thread should catch the lower thread during this process, bringing the lower thread out from the base of the machine in a large loop. Use your finger to carefully catch the loop of thread you just pulled up, breaking open the loop in the process. You should see two separate tails of thread: one extending from the needle (the upper thread) and one extending out from the base of the machine (the lower thread). Pull on both threads separately until you have a 6-inch (15-cm) tail of each. Position both tails so that they extend out toward the back of the machine.  Both threads should fall straight behind the presser foot. The upper thread should pass in between the toes of the presser foot. Read through the steps again and check the way that both the top and bottom threads have been prepared. If everything was done correctly, the machine is now threaded and should be ready to use.
A:
Raise the needle. Remove the bobbin case. Insert the bobbin into its case. Return the case to the machine. Cycle the needle once. Catch the loop. Straighten out both threads. Double check.
