A line above says, "This section is for iPad Tech Support. Got a problem, don't understand something? We are here to help!" Well... There is apparently several of us with the same problem. WHERE IS TECH SUPPORT? Come on guys... IPad 2 is due out soon. You want us to buy it so you can keep your job? How about giving us a little help like you promised! Thanks!
The iPad Forum is not affiliated to Apple in any way at all, as far as I know. It's just a group of people who are iPad enthusiasts who are trying to help each other. But we have no 'inside track' on the iPad; as far as I'm aware none of us work for that company (I suspect that Apple probably wouldn't appreciate its employees being members of this Forum!!). We just enjoy our iPads and like to talk to (and help if we can) other similarly-minded people.
I think that this 'previous address' issue probably has no 'work around'. But these previously used addresses do seem to 'disappear' after a while from my experience - so the list definitely has a finite size or duration. I know that's not much help!!
As you know, apps in the iPad are 'sandboxed' - i.e. they have very limited scope for interaction. Upside is great protection against viruses - downside is that, in this case, it's probably impossible for another app to 'get access to' this previously used address list and edit/delete it. To allow such access would open up the opportunity for computer viruses.
Sorry, though, we've been a bit slow on dealing with this question. I think that several of us, because we didn't really have a good answer, thought that there must be someone else out there with a better solution. Is this called 'passing the buck'??!!
What am I doing, up this early in the morning on a weekend, playing on my iPad - I need to get a life.....
