I know how to save a picture and can assure you it does not work. I tap and hold and it enlarges. I tap and hold again and it shrinks.

Is it possible that you're trying this on a protected image? If so, that would explain why it won't work.

If you are trying to copy the pictures that are in this thread, using the method I describe - tap the picture to get it to open in a new window, then you can use the tap and hold to copy it.

Does not work

Can't help you then, sorry. I have tried it myself multiple times on my iPad, and it works flawlessly. If everything else works perfectly on the iPad, then I would call Apple and talk with a CSR. If you have other issues, I would do a soft restart (hold power and home keys until you see the apple), and if no joy, then a backup and restore to a new iPad (you can always restore to whatever profile you want to later) and see if that works. This is a basic feature of Safari within the iPad, and if it does not work for you, something else is very wrong.

Oh, I assume you have JavaScript turned on in Safari settings? It defaults to on, but maybe you turned it off? I don't know if it matters, but it's the only other thing that you can adjust that might have bearing.

Also check out desktopnexus.com , there are hundreds of free HD wallpapers. Also works on iPad but it crops the photo to fit. Best to download to PC and send picture to iPad.

What is the typical size of an iPad wallpaper?

Probably not the right question, as there is no "typical". The question should be what is the correct size for iPad wallpaper - this answer is correct, borrowed from my-guru.com (which incidentally has some excellent wallpapers, and also a thread in this section).

"the perfect iPad wallpaper should be 1024 x 1024 pixels with the object centred in a 768 x 768 pixel area in the centre of the screen"

Some new ones to enjoy
