Thread: Ipad newbie...newbie problems

Hi,

I just received this ipad for my birthday, the first since I retired.
Still stumbling around trying to make stuff work.

Where is a good instruction manual to be found?

I already had a problem when my newly set up Apps would not work from the apps page. Tap the icons...nada .
They would work however when I selected them on the search page after entering a letter or two. Not sure whats going on so I joined this community.

Looking forward to learning and enjoying

Greetings and welcome to the forum!

Ask and ye shall receive! You can download a copy of the iPad User Guide for free in several different formats.

a) As a free PDF download from the Apple website --

Apple - Support - Manuals



This can (and should!) be saved on your computer and your iPad.

b) As a free iBook once you download the free iBook app from the iTunes App Store.

c) Online using the link provided in the Safari favorites on your iPad.

The answers to many questions, especially if this is your first Apple mobile "iDevice", can be answered by spending some quality time with this handy document.
