askye, I also had to download a calculator app.

To close apps, double-tap the Big Round Button. The various app screens will line up like pages on a table. Flick them upward to stop running that app.

Yeah, there are weird little quirks like that that you don't figure out automatically.

I only quit iOS apps if they're misbehaving and need to be restarted. So I do that maybe a few times a month.

If you have a ton of apps open iOS just unloads from memory the ones you haven't used lately. (iOS saves the state of the app so when you go back to it it appears the same as when you left it--as if it was in memory all the time.)

eta: Some apps, like FaceBook and gMail, will keep a small part of the app in memory to check for alerts, new emails, etc.

I need to shut down apps on my orig. iPad frequently.

I do know what you mean Askye. I got my iPhone in September and I am still figuring things out. I frequently wonder if a question is too dumb to ask my iphone owning friends or if I should just google the question and save myself the embarrassment.

You can also swipe up from the bottom of the screen using 4 fingers to bring up the active apps - don't know if that's set by default or something you have to turn on, but I use it all the time.

I had an iPhone for years and then switched to Android and now when I have to fix something on the kids' iPod I get totally lost. Mostly I keep trying to press a back button that's not there, or swipe down for the notification shade.

I figured it out, I'm going to try the 4 finger thing. It's just weird and it's weird that there's no calculator. I got into an argument at work over whether or not it came with it and the guy pointed to the ipad and said "there it is!" I was like - yeah , because I downloaded it.

I may actually start using iTunes. I downloaded the first episode of The Librarians and watching it on the iPad was fine, but then I started thinking -it would be even better if I had an Apple Tv. Which I totally don't need.

I feel kind of weird trying to be the Apple person. I can learn stuff but I get stumped when customers come in and have an older Macbook and need some adapter for a connection we dont have and I have to run and figure out if they can do what they want.

My iPod has a calculator. How weird about the phone.

It's a good design too--portrait is a traditional accounting type calculator, landscape is scientific.

The iPhone comes with a calculator, I guess the iPad does not? I must have added one.

Yeah, my iPhone has a calculator. I had downloaded a better one, which sadly doesn't seem to have updated appropriately for the iPhone 6 and had to delete it, but there is a basic one on there?

Is anyone using Google Inbox? I just installed it today on a couple of accounts, and the email part is easy peasy (dismissing them is great), but the admin part stumps me on my phone's form factor.
