IPad Tips and Tricks

[Wonder]

I can't wait to here what it is Gert. i love my Ipad mini and while I have an iPhone I much prefer the mini.

Watching and waiting Gert, I have found my iPad just the best and I love technology, anything new and I want to know, I had an app recommended called appsgonefree  which gives you free apps each day to down load, had some good ones, others not that interesting but I check each day 😄😄😄

Thanks Gert and Rainbow.
Gert helped me so much on the Gracetown Retreat. I have most of the 'help' apps she suggested and they are great.

I don't know how I managed before my iPad. I think DH has convinced several people to buy them since we have been here. He must have added to our photos by 500 in the last 3 weeks.

Glad you got the problem solved cookie

Eg the Karen Martini book

Who, what, when, where? When I went to the German iBookstore it lists an untitled book for her at €13,99. Nothing useful

She is a lady who is on a garden and home show here. She has released quite a few books.

I will tell ya soon about another absolutely essential thing for your iPad  or tablet or device  or kindle or kobo.

Is it the stand thingy from SuperKitchenMachine? (Ya killin me Gretch  ) I can see myself needing one of those when I get back. I love my mini, it recharges quicker than the ipad3 and its very light & portable for popping in a handbag. The iP3 is great for when you need a bigger screen, and I have a net book which is great for normal PC work and a good backup for me in my business.

Yes you are right . I ordered them as soon as I saw them in Helene's shop ( I think it was the first day because nobody had mentioned them yet…. I  wanted to be the first to have one in Australia so I kept mum about it .)… I ordered some for myself and think  they will arrive in the next few days. Maybe today. I wanted this Kribbitt so bad so PM'd Helene to ask if they were as good as and she said it was the very best she had ever seen. I have bought two hopeless useless stands in the past and this one looks amazing.
 
This is a brand new product just invented so no one will know about it. It looks so versatile and can be used for every device. I also,like that it is a local product in Canada made by a known inventor and not a Chinese knockoff with crap manufacturing. This guy makes each one himself and he made it for his children so it must be solid and something young and old can use easily. It is flexible so you would be able to type at your best angle plus it does not move when you type due to the non something or other rubber like stuff covering the hard wire something. Anyway when I get my three I will but a pic here.  If it is as good as then I will order two more for gifts because everyone I know with a iPad, iPad mini or  reader will want it so if I were you I would order two now so you have it when you get home.

Yes the mini recharges much faster and is great for the handbag for travelling and for shopping when you are out. Easier to type on than the phone but I love my iPad at home for business stuff  and for watching missed  TV shows in bed.  I love that this stand will make it hands free as I really get tired holding it as I do with my Kindle. Hard to grab that glass of wine while watching a show and reaching out!.

Not mentioning it on the shopping thread because those crazy girls might empty the shop when they  see it. I have watched all the VDO's on You Tube and have read all the stuff I could find on Kribbitt  man Paul and  really want him to succeed . It is really a clever thing. Helene told me she has met him, likes him and that is good enough for me. Also I think he is charity minded as well so it is nice to give him support

Just bought one Gert. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. i don't very often look at Helene's site and have been dropping hints to the family for ages about getting me a kitchen stand so I'll give this one a go.

Mine arrived Wonder and I am in love. Amazing stand . I am going way over the top. but  it is one of the cleverest  things I have ever seen. The man is a genius.

Hope yours arrives quickly.

Woh! That's a big photo! How do you reduce them before posting to Tapatalk? Gert?

Hi MJ, not sure if you've found a way.

Tapatalk on iPad asks you for the size of your photo before posting it. It has 3 standard options: small, medium, large. I think medium is the best size as it doesn't require scrolling when viewing the pics via safari. Small is too tiny.

Very good question!!!

If you take a photo with an iPhone  you can send it by email to  yourself and reduce it before sending.when you get it you can save it and use that. If you take it with a camera you can photoshop it  on your computer. If you take it with an iPad I have no idea. I am not a photo person but Tarsis or SueJen may be able to tell us.

You can also upload indirectly from your computer to here but I don't think from your iPad or phone.

Love it if  someone could tell us. We could put it in the tips and tricks thread.

Sorry not any help.

Hi Gert,

I've used a very simple tool called Imagewell on my MacBook for cropping and resizing photos. Was provided by my company when I worked as a web developer. Photoshop is too fiddly for my

Uploading directly from ipad to tapatalk is very easy. Have yet to try it on my iPhone.

That's how I do it BZB.

[gertbysea]

BZB. Do I have to do it from my Mac then send it to my iPad. My Tapatalk never has asked me for the size. I am confused.. Gert

What colours have you all chosen?  I can't decide between the black and the pink.

Gert, I bought tapatalk this week (to post pics on my latest addiction - Forum Thermomix!)

The options just popped up when I posted pics from it. Perhaps it's the part of the latest version?
I'll check the version number when I get home.

I posted photos that I took using the iPad.
