When I turn on my ipad I get a small flower symbol in the bottom right hand corner any idea what it is please?

If you press it, it will start a slideshow of your photos.

Thanks do you know how to put photo's on the ipad as I can't seem to work it out, not good with tec things

First, you should remove the pictures currently in the Camera Roll (Photos), so you won't be duplicating everything. You can do this by un-checking "Sync Photos from..." and syncing, this will delete all of the photos on the iPad

You need to setup a folder, on your PC under "My Pictures", such as "iPad Pictures" and make all of the folders you want, with the pictures you want in them (copy, move or drag and drop, your choice), under that folder. Then go into iTunes, under PHOTOS and select "Sync Photos from" and change "My Pictures" to "Choose Folder" and then choose the folder you created "iPad Pictures" open it and select the folders you want to sync to the iPad. Then sync them.

You know what they say are the 5 most dangerous words in the English language?
"I wonder what this does..."

And yet, . . .
I still have tended to dive right in, whenever I see an unidentified symbol or button on the iPad,
I almost always exercise that curiosity, and tap that button when I see one.

Remember you can't damage the iPad so play around as much as you like. It's the best way to learn.
