And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Speaking of iOS, is there a way to schedule iMessage? (i.e. write a message now but schedule it to be sent tomorrow morning)

I'm sure there are apps that do this, just wondering if it can be done natively on an iPhone without Siri.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

the mini runs most/all of the apps the ipad does and a good percentage of the apps for iphone. some iphone apps you can put on the mini and have them run in a bigger more pixelated view, but they work. some iphone apps will not install at all on a mini.

I don't think in this early stage you would have a problem with the latter category.

here is a list of good ipad apps (there are about 4 on the list of 13 I couldn't bother with, but fyi: [link]

here is a link to macworld's starter guide. it is $4.

Does the mini have a significantly different set of applications available for it?

It is functionally identical to an iPad 2. The processor is the same and the screen runs at the same resolution just with a high pixel density due to the smaller screen.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Well, I'm uber-perplexed by the problems Toddson is having, then. What would be the cause for her seeing limited apps?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

a bad unit.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

argh ...well, I guess setting up a different iPad would be easier the second time. Comparable to installing Windows, right?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Is Settings -> General -> Restrictions turned on?

Checked - nope.

If the iPad is backed up to iCloud or to a computer then it's quite simple setting up a new iPad. You plug it in or connect it to iCloud, and it will do it's thing and restore everything from the old iPad.

If there was enough to restore from the old iPad, would she need so badly to get a new one?
