radar in clock?

[Missmouse3]

I looked at the clock that comes with ipad & see something called radar at the bottom, what exactly does this mean?

 

[J. A.]

The options I get in my Clock app:

There's no radar.

Could you make a screenshot to show what you're referring to, if it's different than mine? (Short press Home and Power button simultaneously.)

 

[Missmouse3]

I've done a screenshot & saved it & copied it but can't see how I can paste it here.

 

[J. A.]

If you use the app: tap to reply, then choose Advanced:








Now choose "Attach from photos". A popup will show the pictures in your photo app. (Maybe the app will ask you to access photos, you should agree.)
Tap the picture you want to post, then wait until it's loaded.
Then tap somewhere in the bar with the chosen picture




Here, choose Insert inline.

ok, it should be here now - I emailed the screenshot to myself & opened it on my PC then saved it & attached it here! Phew! At the bottome can you see where it says "radar"? thats what Id like to know about!

 

[J. A.]

I see!
This is what Radar is for:




Tap Radar to choose the melody which should remind you that the time is over.

Ah, right, thanks - silly me! Should have known thats what Apple meant!

 

[J. A.]

You're welcome.

Hi Missmouse​ - 'Radar' is actually the name of one of the many 'ringtones' that can be selected to sound when the timer ends - Dave

 

[Missmouse3]

Finally! the answer I was looking for! Thanks!

maybe you can help with my other ( & far more annoying) problem? Why, since upgrading to ios7, will my ipad no longer save usernames & passwords for site such as this? _ I have all the right boxes clicked (i think!) in settings

Well, glad that you liked my answer to the Radar question - Now, I've only been on iOS 7 for a few days, so still learning myself - if not already done, you might want to download the iPad iOS 7 Manual - Chapter 7 discusses Safari (assume that is the browser you are using above?); you can go into Settings > Safari > Passwords & AutoFill and look at the options there which will hopefully resolve your questions (below a screen capture from my iPad on the new iOS) - ALSO, note that if your inquires are not resolved w/ these suggestions, you might want to start a new thread w/ your question on this issue - your current post was 'tacked onto' another question about ringtones and may not be noticed - just a suggestion. Good luck - Dave

that's for the alarm that sounds when the timer countdown reaches 0. If you tap on it you will see a list of available sounds that can be used. Here's the timer in my clock app.

Tidbit:

If you scroll all the way to the bottom of the ringtone choices you'll see a Stop Playing option. Choose this, start your timer, then go to your favorite music app and start it playing in the background. When the timer runs out, the music stops.

It's a kind or round about way of implementing a sleep to music feature, but there you go.
