Re: [iPad] Trouble downloading movies through iTunes

 

I have not tried any movies from iTunes but why not rent them from
Netflix for $9.99 a month total for any and all movies you want to
watch. They have a 1 month free trial for new subscribers. I have
watched quite a few movies on my ipad this way with no problems what so
ever.

[iPad] Trouble downloading movies through iTunes

 

So, having had my iPad 2 for almost a week now, I just cannot believe how I wasted so much time NOT having had the first iPad all this time. It's truly amazing... I love love LOVE it! What a fantastic creation!

I'm just learning the ropes now, and wonder what the problem is regarding downloading a movie through iTunes. I'm using the home Wi-Fi (btw, I have the Verizon 64 3G version) and had no problem trying out a couple of free TV shows.

Thanks in advance for any help! :-)

Re: [iPad] Keyboard and iPad2 Docking station?

 

At home, I use the reconditioned Apple USB keyboard. That just slips in (no trips to the control panel). The keyboard is nice, if a bit small for a touch typist.

I got it from OWC (www.macsales.com)

With the on-screen keyboard, I occasionally go crazy trying to find a specific key in a hurry. Finding keys breaks my train of thought while typing. If I am going to do any significant amount of typing (this email, for example). I hook up a keyboard.

I have 4 of those. They're by Gibson and I only filed down the sharp corners of the clear plastic on them. they were a bit sharp.

Mine is a Breed. The re-hookup and hookup problems happen when I am in an area full of bluetooth devices. The menu is long, and I have to push the connect button with one hand, and the bluetooth entry with the other.

Re: [iPad] Bird, Wildflower, Insect ID Apps.

 

I hear you. I had a diabetic Pommie-dog for about 7 of his 13 years. I bought NPH insulin at wall-mart for $20.00 a vial. Syringes were also cheaper there.


Do they have the kitty on Ultralente or anything like that?

LOL, you are exactly right!!!  

However, paying for the newly diabetic cat may be cutting into my iTunes budget right now...  Is it awful that I think stuff like, "For that much money, I could have bought an iPad 2."
Don't answer that - I know it is awful.

I personally don't see a need for them. I have a STEM clock-speaker which I dock my iPad onto at night and use the onscreen keyboard.

[iPad] Looking for similar iPad software

 

I have a very old Palm Pilot m505. I use if for keeping track of books and authors. One side (in Memo) lists the authors, the other side lists all of their books. I can add notes to either side of this program on my computer and add new authors, but it no longer syncs to the device. That's okay, I only use it on the computer anyway.

This program is so old it wouldn't work on Windows 7 so I put it in Virtual XP and it works fine there. However, I'm having a problem with my iTouch and iTunes. A lot of times the Touch isn't recognized in iTunes. Sometimes it is.Each time I updated the software I had to do a Restore. I'm wondering if that old Palm program is causing all my problems, even when it is in Virtual XP and "supposedly" not in Windows7 at all. And if I will have the same trouble when I get my iPad tomorrow.

So my question is this. Is there a similar program for the iPad that will accomplish the same thing? Let me have access to authors and their books on the same page? On the Palm, once I find the correct author, I can click on their name and the page with the list of books opens. A spreadsheet will not list this way, each author is on a separate page. I've looked at library software bit it doesn't do what I want it to do. The Palm does.

Re: [iPad] Keyboard and iPad2 Docking station?

 

I would be interested too, 4 to 5 min to hook up and re-hook up every
time the iPad sleeps dopes not sound like a good recommendation.

So which one are you talking about below that takes 4-5 minutes  to hook up, and occasionally just stops talking for 10-20 seconds. And it needs to be hooked up ever time the iPad goes to sleep.  It sounds like complaint but for which one?  Which one do you use at home that you have never had a problem with?

Didn't get a docking station but did get a wire folding bookstand $5-10 to prop up the iPad sometimes. Sometimes easier to watch a tv show on a table next to me when eating a sandwich as example. I think the combo keyboard and dock would not be useful for me.
