IPAD question for Gayle....

[judy]

Have you read the manual? I haven't yet, but think I will at least read bits of it. I don't know what this lovely toy can really do yet!!!

I am also going to start googling for great apps. A lot of the recommended ones are games.

I've been asking for apps that others really love but haven't gotten any except for the ones Gayle mentioned. I haven't read the manual completely, just skipping around when I have a question. Need to sit down and read it though.

I now have Skype on my IPad2 and my laptop. So if anyone wants to contact me....you should know my email address. I had a couple people on my laptop but when I took it in to be fixed it was restored so I lost them.

I've been trying to update my Ipad but for some reason it's telling me something about my server timing out???? I'll have to try it again and write down what it actually says.

Hmmm... not sure why it won't update. My iPad wouldn't update but it was because the operating system on my computer was too old. That's when I had to take my computer to the Apple store genius bar and they worked on it, couldn't find anything wrong, so they installed a new OS. It was there over 2 hours and they didn't charge me a penny - only $29 for the new OS. I was very impressed. After that, my iPad updated just fine.

You can call Apple and tell them the message you are getting and they will tell you what to do.

Sometimes they come defective but fixing them is nothing like a pc. Like Gayle said, $29 and you are good to go!

Gayle, do you have the extra support package? Janet?

I'm going down to Westchester today for a friend's son's Bar Mitzvah. First we go to Temple to hear his Bar Mitzvah speech. On his 13th birthday, a Jewish boys are considered men and I think, can touch the Torah.

Then, we are going to a Wild Wings (?) nearby for the party. It sounds like fun!
Usually these are fancy receptions in a hall, with entertainment and so on, and can be very expensive. Luckily, my friend Debby is not doing that! I prefer more informal parties.

Tomorrow, Kassidy will be nine!!! The little sprite is growing up! She is the last baby! I love these young years! One of us is going to have to get, at least, a kitten soon! You have to have a baby around!

I think Kassidy is a genius. Mackenzie too, but Kass is like a little computer. I love talking to her. She takes every idea from beginning to end, makes her conclusion, and then moves right on to the next. Brandon is quite bright, but is not that interested in what we talk about. He does tell me wrestling facts, and shows me many many many wrestling moves. He is thrilled that I know a lot of the wrestlers, from my Joel days. \

Enjoy the day!!!

Judy, no I don't have the support package for my iPad. I've gotten it (Apple Care) for all of my computers, but I have never used it! You can take any Apple product to the Genius bar of an Apple store (yeah, i know some of you live in the boonies, where there arent' any Apple stores - sorry!), and they will look at any Apple product for free. If they can fix it they will - if not, they will send it in or you can take it to a repair shop. It costs nothing for the guys/girls at the Genius bar to look at your Apple products.

Judy, it sounds like you will have a great weekend! Tell us all about it on Monday!

It's always updated before, but still hasn't yet. I need to make a call or get it back to Best Buy.

I did want to share something with you Gayle about the "Lose It" application. I was putting in my food for the day....and of all things.....it's didn't have a Big Mac listed in the the McDonald's section....I couldn't believe it. I know I know....I shouldn't have had it anyway, but hey...I got hungry...LOLOL
