Hi all,
I'm a 56 years old happily married Dutchie with 2 great sons who likes digital imaging (Canon EOS 20D), analogue music (vinyl) and riding a racing bicycle (Vitus 979 & Alan Record).
Never thought I would see the day but ....
Will pick-up an iPad 1 WiFi 16GB later 2day. My 1st apple product ever.
So I'll start my wonderfull journey into the world of Apple pretty soon.
Intend to use this forum as a sort of 'satnav' during this journey
And I'm pretty surprised to learn that most members of this forum are in my age bracket (at least that what I understand from a 'survey'on our poll section.
Thought iPad was typically somehing for the younger generation.'

Hi

Hi Alan and welcome to the Forum!

There have been a lot of members having problems with safari recently. But I'll show you a few steps first and see how it goes. Do these steps, they are easy so don't worry.
Do the four finger swipe up to reveal your multi task bar along the bottom. It will show all the apps that you have opened at one time or another. Long press one of these apps until they start to jiggle and red minus signs will appear above them all. Press all the minus signs, this will close them, not delete them. It's a good idea to do this regularly just to keep them all running smoothly, I do mine every night. Check and see if it is operating now. if not a restart is in order.

Restart: Press and hold the power off button, the one at the top right. You will see a slide appear to power off, slide this and the screen will go dark and a Whirly will appear. When the Whirly disappears your iPad is now off. Press the power button again until the Apple logo appears, this will take a few seconds and your iPad will start again. You should restart your iPad occasionally also as it will keep it running smoothly. Now see if it is operating. If not a reset is the next step.

Reset: Hold the power off button and the home button simultaneously, keep holding them in and you will see the power off slide appear and disappear, wait until you see the Apple logo appear before releasing the buttons. It will take a little longer for your iPad to start. This is a reset.

When your iPad begins to behave strangely these are the first steps you should do to rectify it. Let us know how you go, good luck!!

Hi all, I am new to this forum, but am looking for some guidance please. I recently purchased my first Apple Device (an Ipad2) and am absolutely hooked!

From what I have read there appears no way to get a virus onto an Ipad, but I want to be absolutely sure as I have recently opened an email, via webmail, on my Ipad2 which I now know to have been a virus (it was entitled Hey - guess that should have been a clue!). Everything seems ok with my Ipad, but I am worried as I did open the email and click on the photo link (I am normally so careful!), so my question is should I do anything to ensure my Ipad is ok, or is there no way a virus or spyware could have gotten through? Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Hello! I'm a long time lover of Apple products because of the innovations that they create, and opening new markets which didn't exist before (e.g ipad and tablets). I've had G4 Powerbooks and G5 Powermacs but am using win 7 at moment (because of games). I'd dearly love to move back to mac- think I'll wait till next summer and see what graphics card they stick in the mac mini! I've got 4G ipod touch (64GB) 160GB ipod classic, ipad 2 wifi (64GB), 16GB ipod nano (4th gen?- long with buttons...) and 4GB ipod shuffle. Went the android root with phones though and have had HTC hero, Samsung Galaxy 1 and Samsung Galaxy 2. Will probably wait now till iphone 5 . Oh yeah, my name is Joe and I'm from Northampton in the UK
Happy christmas to you all, and I hope those Americans among you had a fantastic thanksgiving
