IPAD question for Gayle....

Janet · 03-25-2011, 08:39 AM

That what I've done as far with FB. I wish when I was setting up that I didn't add all the pictures from my computer, because some of them were folders of different icons. I read part of the manual and it said to delete them from the Ipad they have to be deleted from the computer and then synced again. So that's what I've been trying to do so far. I did download the manual so I can read it anytime and it has been very helpful. So far I'm loving it.

I do have to add that if my mother asks me one more time "why do you need another damn computer?" I'm going to throw it at her....lolol Of course you know I wouldn't do that, but boy is it tempting.

Okay.....I've read through this thread and checked out some of the apps that Gayle had written about, but are there any others that I might find interesting? I know some of you have IPhones and there are apps for both....so if you know of any...please share.

Did I post that I got an Ipad? I don't remember! I think I put it on FB. I got the 16 gb wifi 3G. I did not get the Ipad 2. I don't need the cameras, there is no usb port and, although it goes faster, I don't need the speed. It still was expensive, but I got a check from the Teacher's Union and it covered the price! As soon as I got that check, I was getting that Ipad!!!

I just put in Kindle, and got a book. I was happy to see that there are so many free books. In fact, Jane Eyre and the dictionary are already in there. I got the NY Times top news stories, solitaire, and so far, that's it. I'm going slow because I want to see what I want on it. I have to get used to surfing the web on it. It is so small compared to my laptop. I have to learn to adjust the size of what I'm looking at. I cannot believe how much more user friendly this is than the pc!

I want to take my pictures off of my laptop and I'm not putting them on the Ipad either. I would like to put them all on a DVD disc. I want to do the same with my music, although I may put some music on the Ipad. I don't need these stored on the computers. I can also put a lot of documents I have saved on dvd. I have had so many crashes on my pc that I would rather have these things separate, but easily accessible.

You can use the camera attachment as a usb port for the Ipad, but it is not compatible with much. There are ways, of course, to work around it. I have to see what's involved, and what I would gain by that.

In the meantime, I LOVE my Ipad!!!

I love mine too Judy. So far I have Solitaire, Calculator, Ibooks, Free Books, Bowling Game, SkeeBall Game, and now I'll have to go look and check it out...lol. There is an application called: My Dog. It's where you can keep all the different dog information plus their picture. I haven't used it yet...still playing around and learning. I may have to check out Kindle. Oh I also put on the Ipad instruction manual. I know I have a few others, but I'm on my laptop now so when I get on the Ipad I'll check. I have the fold up cover for mine, but I'm wanting one a little more sturdy for when I take it in my purse.

Congrats Janet and Judy on your new ipads! Glad you are enjoying them! I looked at them at Staples but I don't really need one......but....I would like to have one someday! They look so cool!

judy · 04-09-2011, 02:51 PM

I have the ipad guide too. They have free books? I have to slowly go through the apps and pick out what I want. I also have a (trial) hidden object game. The screen is a little too small to enjoy searching for things. I'm used to my 17" laptop screen for those.

I got a fold up case too. What are you getting? I got a screen protector too. These I found on eBay. We have to dress up our ipads, ya know!

Paula, I have absolutely no need for an ipad!!! I splurged! I also got a check from the teachers' union.

I'm not sure what kind of case to get. There are some real sturdy ones that fit nicely in a purse, I just have to find the one I like best. AND yes.....they do have free books...thousands of them.

I have no need for one either and really can't afford it, but tough....I wanted it and I deserve it.

Gayle...........Is that map application like a GPS? Is there a GPS ap for the IPad?
