Hello casper320, welcome to the forum! When you get a chance, head over to the beginners section and introduce yourself. As for your Zagg keyboard, go to your iPad settings and "forget" this device. Just for kicks, turn off the iPad, turn off the keyboard. Turn on the iPad, go back to settings...

Hello Bluejak. I get this error message as well in both apps that you refer. That is why in MS Office, or Excel, I use Helvetica--this font is more universal. When you launch either app on your iPad, depending on your network speed, you'll see the app stop or blink out, that is because you have...

Apple products are so well designed that I've always felt confident that they will last a long time--if I take reasonable precaution to eliminate or circumvent my natural inclination to be clumsy. I still have my iPad original, an iPad2, and an iPad 3. I skipped the 4, but now contemplating an...

Take heart Alex, your concern with the new iOS7 is appropriate. It is your machine, after all. For someone so "old" you are pretty up to date with your hardware. I have a third generation iPad. I also have an older version of the iPad2 and the very first iPad. I'm going to get the new iPad Air...

Websites such as eBay offer this switch so that it only provides you the information that your tablet can use. It also allows you to reduce your data download requirements if you were on cellular as opposed to wifi. I am using eBay as an example. You can access eBay on your iPad via Safari and...

Pretty much the same thing. You do have to get a country specific SIMM card and you have to sign up for data account with that carrier. You should consider if it is worth doing this if you are staying in that country for less than a week or more than a month. Most countries have wifi...

Thanks for commenting Cpfcrob...I did not want to seem like a bunch of forum moderators were endorsing an App, LOL!!

This iPad has been with me every where. I have used it every day in the past three years. I bought a 64gig, wifi plus cellular unit. I bought it two days before I went on vacation to Beaver Island, Michigan. I used this iPad to help me navigate from Fort Wayne, Indiana to Beaver Island. I had...

It is now .99 cents (in the US AppStore), but it is still a great value. I've been playing with it for a little while and it is certainly a lot easier to use than other note apps I own. Thank you!

Wow! I just came home from the cinema and saw "Trance". This is a psychological thriller with lots of plot twists.

History is sometimes not an indicator of future behavior but....Apple did stop supporting the original iPad when the "new" iPad (3) was released. The iPad2 was already limited (some consider it significant) by Apple when Siri was not included with the upgrade to iOS6. Therefore (a shaky...

The 3D effect can cause motion sickness. For many people, their sense of equilibrium depends on the stability of horizontal sight lines. Three dimensional movies causes you to sense the changes in these sight lines which can make you feel dizzy and this can make you feel like vomiting. This is...

I don't think Bill Gates is "oblivious". Otherwise he would not go on media and make the comments reported here. What Microsoft does with its business is important to the health of my portfolio. My interest in Apple is that it continues to provide products that I can use easily and...

Just wait another three months or so--Apple will start counting towards 75 billion apps. Apple has so much money, you'd think they would give US$20,000!

The wisdom of my father: if you are without any care then you should not worry you will break your toy. However, if you do care, your toy will always serve you. English is not my father's first language. I did not understand his words at the time because I was completely overwrought when my...
