Um er How do I update please Gert? I would love Siri. 

I am still keeping my ipad tidy. I have even managed to put my new apps into the sorted out places. :-))

Good on you cookie 1.

Go to settings, general, software update.

Be sure to sync it all with your computer too if you use the computer.  If you have not synced or updated in a while it may take a few hours . I know Of someone  who took many hours to update. If you keep yours updated frequently it won't take long. Mine took a few minutes and Dh's took 4 hours.

Everyone with an iPhone and iPod should update as well.

The iPad one will not update a lot of stuff. Judy Christmas is coming.

I love Siri and can ask her  lots of stuff including where is the nearest pizza shop. Siri will search the web for you and you can dictate memos and emails  to her.  All new for the iPad.  I really want an iPhone.  I hope Ted loses our  Nanna phone or maybe drops it .

Siri can you finish this?  Well maybe she cannot do everything.

Siri will bend over backwards trying to be helpful, but she is as bad sometimes as calling the phone company  :D

Thank goodness you knew CP.I can hardly  remember.

Forgot to say I have already downloaded Tapatalk  :)
Had the free one but Gert told me when I was in Melbourne that I needed the paid app so I bought and downloaded it but unfortunately had no time to sit down and work out how to use it.

I do my photos a different way on tapatalk, it sounds easier, but CP couldn't do it on her iPad. I won't confuse the issue by posting it unless someone wants me too.
