Great service from Apple again. Ordered ipad3 yesterday, arrived today 🙂 Can't get better than that, and restoring from a backup, easy upgrade, no stuffing about.

I dunno, BeanGreen comes pretty close.... ;D

An update As a first time owner and user on the tablet type device I have found it to be very useful for the general purpose day to day stuff For example 1) Accessing email form all accounts is a breeze 2) Looking up recipes on the fly 3) Chat and Forum activity is easy 4) Anything internet related is fast and easy Some things I haven't figured out yet are- How to insert an image found on the internet to a forum post Same applies to attaching images from the hard drive ( but I am sure that this cant be done) How do I embed a video from You Tube as the app does not show a link to copy & use KK

KK, to save an image on the web, tap it and select "save image" - that will place it in your camera roll, if you try to use the 'choose file' option to attach it it will crash the browser, so you have to host the image somewhere and link an embedded version, eg I grabbed this image off another page, saved it, uploaded it to Smugmug, my photogallery and shared it by selecting the embeddable forum version. Then copied to this page, YouTube embed, open YouTube app, find video, click on share button, copy to message and then copy link, click on video embed button here and paste in copied link. (Of course you can't see it on the iPad because YT still uses lame flash instead of proper html5!

Yes I had a feeling that was the case for the image link scenario And its to much trouble for me (or I am to lazy) to upload an image to a server then do it again for a forum post I like the choose image location link method best - Apple are you reading this 😢 I will give the you tube method a try :thumb: KK

Agreed the image method is painful, but it can be done if need be!

OK one other query How do I play music with non apple files I normaly use a lossless file format like FLAC or WAV and don't want them converted to Apple format just to,play them on the iPad For this reason I have no music files on my iPad How do I do this ?

KK, my dad does this on his iPod, will ask if he knows how to do in iPad but pretty sure there is an option you can tick to tell iTunes not to compress any Audio...

Kk try aceplayer on iTunes. It's free at the moment. Plays all video and audio via streaming or downloaded to the iPad. Also check out google chrome for ios. I'm using it now! Excellent! Especially the syncd bookmarks!

Thans Lacehim I am posting this on Chrome for iPad And have also downloaded Aceplayer - they say it's full featured and free for several days So I suppose I can give it a go KK

I just found a feature in my iPad by mistake The keyboard can be split in half I found out when I picked it up and slipped from my hand OK this is how it's done Use the thumbs and bring them together at the letters G & H then swipe them both to he outside To return the keyboard to normal just slide your thumbs back to he middle again at G & H KK

Man that is a pretty cool trick KK :stir

I nearly tore my son a new a**hole the first time he did it to mine, thought he had broken it!

I wonder what that is for? I don't find it any easier to type. Good trick nontheless.

Another I found recently and really like is the double tap on home button or multi finger upward swipe from bottom of screen to display taskbar so you can switch or close apps

Another update and most users may already know of this feature If one wants to do a screen capture on IPad, iPhone, ect it's very simple It works on a two button principle Press the On/Off button simultaneously with the sleep button and a screen capture is taken and stored on your camera roll KK

Lacehim

KK, I guess you mean the "home" button and the power off button. 🙂 Yes I used that trick for my website www.myyoungones.net Also did you know that on the Safari keyboard if you press and hold the .com button a pop appears with common endings to select, like .au 🙂 Loads of hidden little tweaks on these phones/ipads that we know nothing about!

A quick update In the past one could not upload a photo from iPad ( stored in the photo app ) to a forum like Crema Recent OSI updates one only this morning OS 6.3 seems to have activated access from browsers via the upload section in Crema forum The browsers I have seen access allowed is Safari and Mercury Pro ( others may also be OK ) Now this is a test trial photo upload using the feature outlined above [attach=1] KK
