Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

toddson,

the app store on your ipad mini will be the only place you can buy apps. you can also buy them if you use itunes on your computer, but it will probably be easier to just buy them on your ipad.

sophia,

I have no idea what to do about exchange and delegates. no idea.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

I have a continuing problem with iPhone and calendar synch that I cannot find help for. I am synching my outlook exchange calendar.

By chance, are you running iOS 6.0.1? iOS 6 in general is having problems with calendar. I upgraded my iPad but not iPhone. If I enter an event on the iPad, it doesn't show up on iPhone or computer iCal. If I enter an event on the other two, it doesn't show up on the iPad. I can hit refresh all I want, and it's still like that. There are other flavors of issues with iOS 6 calendar, and I seem to recall hearing ones similiar to yours. I did a google search for "ios 6 calendar problems" and got plenty of hits.

My understanding is iOS 6.1 will be coming out soon. Hopefully they have fixed the calendar problems.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am still running iOs 5-- I didn't install the update because I had heard it would effect the google maps/bus schedule thing, and I use that all the time.

I seem to have fixed it (in that now I am not receiving my bosses invitations in the calendar, just as an email which I cannot respond to), by switching from push notifications to checking every 15 minutes. It isn't ideal, because it means I can't manage my bosses' calendars via iphone, but at least it seems to mean that I can manage my own!

Sophia, you know google maps has an app now, right? All functionality returned if you use that app.

Oh great! Maybe I will upgrade-- although I hope it won't break the thing that is fixing my calendar!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I'm a pretty big fan of Google Maps. One, it let me update the OS. But, even better, it quietly and quickly recalculates on the fly plus it knows where I am even in big parking lots. That is way handier than I'd have thought before using it.

Our wings are not tired.

The google maps app is very good but be aware that the apple map is the only map you can set for default without jail breaking. So when you click on addresses from texts or email or contacts, eg, it opens the apple maps.

I have gotten really good at copy and paste for that reason.
