iPad apps

[Wonder]

Sorry cookie, I've never had any problems downloading magazines directly to my ipad you shouldn't need to be connected to the computer. Is your wifi connection working? I have once had a problem where the wifi connection was very slow and one magazine took a few hours to download but I just left it running at night and it was there when I woke up.

You don't need to be connected to the computer to download mags, or did you do it through itunes on your computer?

Ok cookie1. Are you downloading the app from itunes? If downloading a  mag app you then have to download the monthly or weekly mag after. Downloading  app does not download the mag necessairly.

I have not had to do this but i would         Go to itunes and download the app.  If you think you have stuffed up then touch and hold the app until it shakes and shows the X then touch the X to delete and start again.

Say nothing to no one. If that doesn't work then pm me and I will help you.  i'll phone you so give me your number.

i feel your pain.

I think Wonder has solved the problem for me. The wifi isn't that strong here and I'm sure that's it. I know I have my netbook drop out quite frequently. I'll take it with me and have a coffee out tomorrow and I should be able to download it that way. Our mobiles give better coverage outside too so perhaps I'll go and sit in the caravan. It may have something to do with our tin roof.
Thanks Gretchen I'll try with a better signal, otherwise I'll ask for your much appreciated help.

No worries. I is here.

You all put a smile on my face - though I still feel your frustration Cookie

I'm sure that's it cookie as I ad some trouble with one downloading and it was the wifi connection kept dropping in and out....

I have had so much fun with the free Kindle app, you can download every book and magazine you have ever purchased for free and read them on the iPad. The many image/photo editing apps are great also  Siri app saves lots of time as it understands what you say, you are able to talk to Siri as you would to a person, it does what you say (without the argument or justification - ha, ha) you can find the information you need and Siri then answers you. It’s like you’re having a conversation with your iPhone and after all this I realised that this thread is apps for iPad not the iPhone - oh well now you have more irrelevant info 
 

I'm curious about this, do you really mean that if you've bought hard copies of books on Amazon that it allows you to download a digital version of that book? I tried searching on Amazon for more info, but no luck. I recently bought a hard copy of the Flavor Bible, and I was about to buy the digital version for my Tab, but read this thread in the interim, and want to investigate more before spending $.

Thanks

Hello, I got the Living Cookbook as a Xmas present and have downloaded on to my laptop. How can I see the recipes on my ipad? Also, I find that the ipad screens goes dark after a few mins - a damn nuisance when your fingers are full of food and you cannot touch to ipad to find out what to do next?

You can buy a screen protector that just wipes off  or you could get a stylus but then you would be getting that dirty too.

I use the chefs stand for I pad and a protector on the screen. Yes it gets  a bit dirty but no problem to wipe clean.

Courton you can't use LCB with your iPad (or Mac or anything grrr) unfortunately as it is a "windows" program ... I have had to put VM Ware on my Macbook to be able to run it. I wouldn't have bothered but I already had over a 1000 recipes in it when I bought the Macbook and I could just do a data transfer (much easier and quicker than trying to get them into another program )

Cookie how did you go downloading the magazine onto your iPad?
Does anyone else have a problem with there iPad wifi connection dropping out all the time?

You can alter the time it takes to go dark in your settings.

Yippee and much more yelling and carry on. I have downloaded the magazine while I am waiting for DD at the dentist. We're off shopping afterwards. I had to get on here and yell about it. The strength of the signal is poor in the house, we have trouble with the phones too. Sitting here I have full strength and the magazine downloaded no problems and in a very short time too.
I'm amazed at all the extras that are in the magazine for iPads. (BBC Good Food). Off to read it some. I love the keyboard on the iPad too, it is so sensitive. YIPPEE AND WOWEE AND YEAH.

I'm glad you had an outlet for your excitement Cookie, it may have made onlookers wonder about your sanity if you had let it all out in front of them.  Well done, at least you know how easy it is now with a full strength signal.
