I have been here for quite a while and like coming here to get help with the iPad, also I am not as versed in applications as most here probably. BUT-- My iPad kept crashing and taking me to my home page ONLY when I was trying to use it in this iPadForums app. It happened a LOT... So I thought...

I found a thread from MickeyFromPace on June 9th in iPad2 forum that does a good job of answering this. I guess something new could have happened since then but I am staying put with 7. Why look for problems that I don't need and somewhere I read that 8 automatically installs some Apple Music...

I asked a similar question without seeing this thread and this does a good job of answering it. I did a search and didn't see it here .... So I asked it in the general forum... I am on 7.something and am just staying there. When 9 comes out and I see if they have bugs and fix them then I will...

I have an iPad 2. I still have version 7. something on it and it works just fine for me. I started to update to 8 when it came out but I heard there were problems with iPad 2 users and 8 so I didn't. Then 8.1 came along and it was weird and seemed like it was gone all of a sudden so I didn't...

You have all been very helpful and it is exactly the type of information that I had hoped to see. I am doing an edit on one of her books today and this is the first time I have read it, so I keep taking a break and looking here to see any information ... Also it is way too hot to be outside...

Thank you and I appreciate the advice. I will take it to heart. We are real novices when it comes to specifics of MacBooks. My wife knows PCs and actually set up a system for a large university but we don't know Macs... Yes, I was surprised at some of the LOW pricing too. That's why I am...

Thanks for the replies. We not thinking of moving from the PC to Mac. She recently bought a strong and fast Lenovo laptop that will be her main computer. She is on it maybe 10 hours a day. She writes and edits from it and does shared information with her publisher and editor. We would share...

I have an iPad and an iPhone. We have always used PCs for a lot of other work like word processing or graphics. We are not gamers and don't need anything big and new and fancy. My wife has a new fancy Lenovo that we use for other stuff. I am wanting to buy a MacBook for photo editing and...

SUCCESS!! This fixed it. Deleted account and added back... Thank you a lot. I am leaving this as a thanks to the wonderful people here. Also to help if anybody ever does a search it will show up with a question, answer and the reader will know that it worked... I don't understand the logic...

First, thank you for taking the time to help .. I appreciate it. Your answer "might" be the issue because I do get quite a few with photos or attachments but they are not sitting there in my inbox. I will open them and then either move the email to a folder or I delete it. Would that still...

I am trying to free up some memory on my iPad2. When I go to usage it shows the email app to be using 1.2 gig of memory. That seems huge to me. Why would this be so high? Since I can go to any computer anywhere and access my email folders and email information, I would not think all this...

This is amazing!!! You folks are just great. I learned that I cannot do exactly what I want, but can do a trip around it...I do not understand how you ever keep all the knowledge you have on this stuff inside your head. Thank you for taking the time out of your schedules and typing an answer...

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I knew I could get to the "manage storage" there --- But when I go to the cloud like you suggest, it just gives me a list of the different apps and a switch to turn them off and on and a note on the amount of storage used. For instance it will let me see...

I have an iPad2 16GB that serves me well just as it is. I avoid upgrades unless I see an advantage to avoid problems... Something I wanted to do the other day would not work and a message said I needed to upgrade my version for it to work. I have 7.0.6. When I went to upgrade I did not have...

Thank you for your help. You guys and girls are so smart. Sometimes I think I only use probably 10% of the capability of the iPad. When I get skunked I come here and there is always someone here that knows the scoop. I appreciate your time. I did not know that if I deleted something on the...

I had to put something on my iPad2 and needed memory. I deleted quite a few photos and some videos. My iPad had been syncing photos with iCloud and had extra memory left there. I made a mistake and deleted some photos that I thought I had on my iPhone also, but I did not. I need the photos...

I went to the reset page and did "reset home screen" and all the apps showed back up. Some disappeared that I had forgotten were there.... I don't know why they were gone in the first place though. I found that I did not lose the stuff I had in iBooks which would have really pixxed me off. I...

Under the "allow" everything is turned on and green on the button in the restrictions section. So I think I should be seeing it but no luck.

My IOS 6.xxx worked just fine. What I dummy I was.... I wanted to manage something in the cloud and Apple made me upgrade to IOS 7.0.4. I tried to wait as long as I could because I liked what I had just fine....I had IOS 6.xxx Before this morning.... Now when I try to open my library book in...

Apple, in all their usual confusing methods, makes something that should be relatively simple more complex. Love their products --- hate their logic...Thanks to everybody for their help. I was hoping for something SIMPLE as A to B --- but alas it is what it is. I really should be able to...

I will try again to find a way to do this...Anybody????

I do not use the laptop anymore. Not sure it even works now. Do not want to fix it either. I know I could move music around using it and iTunes. I have a lot of music on the iPhone and most of it was from CDs that I put on the computer and moved to the phone. I want to put this music on the...

My brother took his in for something and they upgraded it while he was there. His iPad is definitely definitely slower and uses the battery up faster....noticeably so. I do not intend to upgrade mine until an updated version comes out. There are probably fixes and things he could do and WILL...

I have iPad2 with 6.1.3 and only see things that 7 does "differently" on the iPad2..... Not necessarily better --- just a different way of doing the same thing......and not necessarily easier either. My brother had a problem and took his to the store and they upgraded his while he was there. I...

Would one of the iPad experts tell me what is going on with this please? What caused it in the first place? By the way, I did the upgrade to the latest and greatest IOS a few weeks ago and this email thing never happened in the couple of years I have had the iPad2 until I did this latest...

I did a hard reset and it did not fix it....but I will try again. I only did it once though. I see you said it took you maybe 5X before it fixed the problem. I definitely did not think doing it over and over would be any better than just one reset so I only did it once. Will report back if...

A couple of months ago I got an email that was weird.... It says "No Sender". The date is 12/31/69 ( yeah that's right). And it has no content. There is a blue dot next to it and I cannot open or delete it. When I do edit to do a lot of deletes, it does not give me a circle to check for the...

You folks are great. I have learned so much reading at this site. I would not like the iPad nearly as much without your forum. Thank you.

I did the reset. Good idea anyway because I did not know I needed to do one after the upgrade to 6.1.3. I do not notice that it helped any though. I just did the upgrade a couple of days ago and was wondering if anybody else experienced this. I thought maybe the upgrade had my iPad doing more...

I do not do upgrades until I feel that all the issues are behind us. I am not technically good enough to deal with problems and figure out how to fix them. I recently upgraded to the 6.1.3 and I am pretty sure my iPad operates at a slower speed. I have an iPad2. There is no way for me to put...

I have joined HBO GO...I have it on my iPad and it works just fine. I have a newer type flat screen LED TV but not a smart TV. is there a way to get the signal from my iPad to the TV with some type of hard wire connector or something? thanks.

Finally some help.Thank you.. I am just trying to learn where all this memory is being used. I do not know how to do what you asked at iTunes I guess....maybe dumb it down some....What bugs me is that according to the usage numbers I am using about 6GB or so but when I ADD ALL the app usage on...

I have a 16g iPad2 version 5.1.1......It does fine for me and my use...I admit that I do not use a lot of memory on the IPad. I use it for email, books from library, newspaper, searches and some photo storage and use some Safari. I seldom ever use my laptop anymore. The iPad is so easy. My...

As an FYI to others like me.....I also did this update and did not have problems. I have been hesitant to update my iPad2 to the new software. What I had ...4.1.1 I think...was working fine for what I use the iPad for and I did not want to kick a sleeping dog as they say so I have left it be...

Thanks. I was doing something wrong on my search ...... After I corrected my error..I found some things we could fix. Thanks.

I have a few selections of short home movies done in .wmv that people have sent me by email. When I download them I get the message that this format is not supported when I try to view on my iPad.... I tried to help myself before posting so I did a search for .wmv and nothing comes up at...

Cool...Poet....THNX.

I have a manual that I would like to have available at anytime on my iPad. I have to download it from a website. I have saved a link where I can get to it easily. But is there a way to save the file to iPad memory where I can access it when I am not available to a wifi hot spot and have no...

Thanks Freebird. I am learning all the time. Glad I still have my laptop PC. Is there a way to circumvent this shortcoming that Apple has and avoid having to buy it from iTunes? Once again....I am not a junkie and there is a LOT I don't know about iPad and iTunes....I use my laptop PC a lot...

You should have spent some time before dropping 500 bucks and done some research.....like on this forum. The salespeople did not know when the new iPad would be out...Apple does not advertise this. But there were rumors........Also the iPad2 is proven with bug fixes and I "think" the iPad2 is...
