I hope I'm not reiterating old news here but I did a search first and didn't find this information. I decided to post it in case it might be of use to someone. I have owned iPads for close to a year now and always had issues trying to figure out and then remember how to be able to access my...

I am using the iVisor and it easily cleans with a microfiber cloth. From time to time I take it off and wash it under running water and dry with a lint-free cloth and then re-apply. It has a slight scratch or two here and there but it does not interfere with swiping or using the iPad. Since I...

I was using my iPad 2 without a screen protector. An unexpected incident resulted in some deep scratches. It was replaced by Apple and a screen protector was applied as soon as it came out of the box. I researched before buying one cuz I hate bubbles and trapped debris/lint/hair. As someone in...

Noticed the same shudder.

I was a happy refurb 64gb iPad 2 user until 14 days ago. Then I passed my device on to my hubby, who really wanted it so he could use the Astra Jigsaw Puzzles app but is rapidly using it for everything now. So, I got a 64gb refurb 3rd generation iPad, as did my daughter. Her 32gb unit arrived...

Whoopee! I just tried to get the app to speak some text and I got a whole menu of options which includes Speak!!! It is the last option of the menu and I so was not expecting to to be there. I don't think you can get it to just speak text continuously without selecting it, which is something I...

I did report this issue to Apple and hope they will address it. I can copy OR paste, but not both in the same document as separate functions without closing the app and opening the document afresh. I tried everything under the sun but there is a definite glitch in switching back to the...

Thanks for the link. I do want and will use it tomorrow when I have a brain again! I checked and there is a problem only with the Speak Selection feature. The other Accessibility features don't appear to affect the menu in iBooks.

H, Twerppoet, and thanks for the response. None of my books are DRM protected so that was not part of the problem. My edited response to Marilyn above indicates that I do get the appropriate new menu, something I overlooked in my eagerness to continue using iBooks as usual. My carry over...

Hi, Marilyn. thanks for the reply. I did try all the above and they didn't help so I bit the bullet and did a restore through iTunes and just put the bare minimum on my iPad to see how things would go. I reloaded my books and just tried it again and all is well now. Interestingly, I updated OTA...

I haven't had a problem with the dictionary at all. It works fine in all the iOS apps and others and never needed to be downloaded. As I noted in the iOS forum, though, I'm having issues getting the full options menu when selecting text in iBooks for copying. I don't know if It is an iOS glitch...

I have iOS6 installed and I tried to select text in iBooks to copy it and paste it in a PDF file in Goodreader, something that I did on a regular basis in iOS5. On first opening the book and selecting a word, I see the full options menu, i.e., speak, copy, define, etc. However, once I extend...

Never mind, didn't see that you already own an iPad 2.

+1 for the warranty! I never used to buy them, but then I had a well-paying job and could replace or repair with no pain. There weren't any tiny hands around to grab things and drop them and I held onto stuff pretty good myself. Things changed. This year alone, I have dropped an Android tablet...

... take a look at this. I have been using this tweak since it came out but didn't see it mentioned here on the website after doing a search for it. Change the Font Size of Web Pages in Safari for iOS with Bookmarklets Although it may look like you can't see the whole bookmarklets script...
