It's pretty intuitive to me, but I've been using little computers since 1980.The manuals are OK, but hardly necessary. Try some of the video tutorials. This one got five stars from two hundred users, so it's probably not a total waste of time :o)iOS is not intuitive, although others will say it is. If anything is new to you, in this case the features, layout, workflow, it can rarely be intuitive.I suggest that when you seek to lean a task, whether it be "How to import a file into Goodreader" as one example, Google or YouTube it. After a while, it will feel more intuitive as you will get used to the iOS workflow. For an app, Google or YouTube that too, there are many intros online that can help the understanding of the workflow
I have the .pdf manual on my PC but the thing is so difficult to use. Probably the fault of the reader.The print is small so I use Control + to increase text but that doesn't last when I change pages. So by the time I have read a couple of pages I just get tired and quit.The only apps I have figured out are:Camera and Photo booth, maps, mail, and Settings, to some extent.I open calendar expecting to be able to enter information but keyboard doesn't open nor is there an icon to click to open it. Same thing wit reminders.I'd like to get rid of some app icons from the home page, I don't expect to ever use Music or Video. There's an item called utilities and it has clock on it.Why can't I get a simple, central time click instead of that world clock? I don't care what time it is in Timbuktu.One reason I forget some of the things I HAVE learned is that I just get tired of looking and not being able to do anything with the very expensive device that I can't really use,Jim

OddIts like praising the person who invented the car, then criticising that same person as we still have just cars, that have just evolved.I dare anyone to name a new and innovative product in the smart devices category, its all been done. Phones have been done, tablets, smart watches, all been done.Its now about innovating these devices to be more useful. Apples foray into the HomeKit is one innovation, centralising the many many protocols that already exist into one seamless product/service to use them all. Not a new product or service, juts a better means to implement itOn Monday, 30 June 2014 12:30 PM, "david smith david.smith.14916@gmail.com [iPad]" <iPad@yahoogroups.com> wrote:
<<Michael A. Cusumano, a professor in the Sloan School of Management at M.I.T., said he thought Apple no longer had the juice to create the world-beating product it needs. Professor Cusumano, who is working on a book about innovation, visited Apple's headquarters in Cupertino, Calif., last fall and has talked to a half-dozen current and former employees about the company culture. He concluded that Apple without Mr. Jobs lacks a visionary to synthesize disparate ideas into a magical whole."Jobs would figure out how to put the pieces together," Professor Cusumano said. "Everything just filtered through his eyes.""I think it's going to be very difficult for them to come up with the next big thing," he added. "They've lost their heart and soul.">>

If this is what's bothering you tap on the Settings icon, then General, go to Date and Time. Change it there.
