IPad Tips and Tricks

[cookie1]

I have just. Found a new app. It was in today's paper. It is called snaprecipes. It is partnered with Oz Harvest donating 5% of every app sale. It costs $1.99.
You can photograph your recipes from anywhere ( a magazine in the doctors surgery) and file them with notes etc. it is pretty easy to use as I can use it. Now when I want to tear recipes out of magazines I can just photograph them into here.  There are heaps of categories to file the recipes under.
I'm loving it. If I decide later not to keep it I can delete it   ( I think, as I haven't tried to delete any yet)

ok, have just downloaded it. I have been taking photo's of recipes and just keeping them in an album but I like the idea of being able to take notes. Thx cookie

That's what I had been doing too CP. I liked the idea of having them sorted and the cost was minimal.

[CreamPuff63]

I agree. I just been adding some recipes and its a great app.

Oh great! I hope that App is in the Google Play Store too....I'm forever taking photos of recipes for later...but I can never be bothered searching through all my photos to find what I'm after, this app sounds like it will solve my problem!

I am having trouble with the App Store. When I go to download something. Eg the Karen Martini book it tells me I don't have an account for the US one and need to get an account for Australia. I am sure I haven't done anything to the machine except use it up here at Monkey Mia.
Can anyone help me please? In simple language.

Interesting. A friend of  mine just got some SPAM re my apple I'd at their email addy.

Try setting up another account using the same info. Wouldn't hurt. Do you really need this App??? LOL!

Thanks Gert.

I have solved the problem thanks to Gert. I went to the settings and called up App Store etc and it asked for my password so after I put it in things are working well again. I would never have thought of going to settings, dumbo me.

I'm the first to admit my total ignorance here.  I'm using an ipad that belongs to my DD.  I have a file of TMX recipes on my PC (word in windows) that I 'd like to transfer/add to the ipad . . is there any way I can do this?

[gertbysea]

If you don't  know  how to use Drop Box or organise PDFfiles then the easiest was is to either email them individually or as a folder. But first go to settings, mail, add account. Put your email address there, set password.  Then go to mail where you will see your email address. You will see your address in INBOXES below that you will see accounts. Open your address  it will slide to mailboxes,  on the top you will see EDIT. Tap edit and  at the bottom you will see ADD  mailbox.  Type  in Thermomix recipes then tap DONE at the top.

Go to your PC  and email the recipes one by one if you have to do it that way.  When they arrive go to Mail tap your message, go to the top and tap edit, you will now see at the bottom Delete, Move, Mark. There is a button next to your message, tap that then tap move . It will side to mailboxes then just tap the mailbox and it will move.

I recommend these three apps for all the help  a novice will need. IPad Secrets- Tips and Tricks. IPad Secrets Vol2 Geekier and IPhone Secrets. All three are the Blue ones. I think they cost but not much and are worth it believe me as they will save you a lot is angst.


I am sure there are others who will explain  other ways to transfer files from your PC  to your iPad but tedious as it may be for a novice to do it one by one it is pretty easy in the end.  There are other programs  and apps you could use like Pages and Quick Office if you want to bother.

Thanks a million, Gert . . will get those apps you recommended asap.  thanks for taking the time to explain all that in so much detail . .I really appreciate it!!

[gertbysea]

No problem. I want everyone to have an iPad because it really is easy  to use and is great for cooks for shopping etc . Always have mine  in case I need a recipe. I find the phone just too small. Yes it is just as easy to use but I love my mini iPad for being able to actually read a recipe.

I will tell ya soon about another absolutely essential thing for your iPad  or tablet or device  or kindle or kobo. Just waiting on the postie and if it is good as I know it will be then oh boy you will want one. Watch this space.
