Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
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.
Is anyone using Google Inbox?
I tried it for a couple of weeks, and ended up switching back. It was great for the kind of email that I want to skim and delete quickly (delivery notifications and whatnot), but way worse for the things I actually wanted to read and respond to. I never even really bothered with it on the phone, since fast skim and delete is already my default mode there.
I like the pin and reminder function, and now it's on my tablet on my fanfic account and my "official" account. I'm interested to see how a few weeks floats. But I do have to turn off the notification noises.
I feel like I'm not playing right because I don't have audio notifications for my email. Text me first!
