Holding with one hand in landscape mode?

When playing games, some games require me to hold it with one hand in landscape mode. My iPad doesn't feel as secure as when I hold it with one hand in portrait mode. Is the iPad designed to be held in landscape mode with just one hand... therefore, no support on the opposite side of the iPad. Is it safe to hold my iPad that way?

Take things easy. Research anything you buy and see it in person if possible. Everyone has different tastes.
Deviating slightly, here is the link to downloading the User Guide if you do not already have it. http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad
Take time to read it. (and re-read it!). It will stand you in good stead. Get your teeth into backups - whether in iTunes or iCloud - as we see so many people falling foul of this when something goes wrong. Welcome on board. Enjoy your iPad!

  • On a Mac, can you navigate menus with one handed key strokes like Windows?

    On a Mac, is there anyway to navigate menus with one handed keyboard strokes like you can in Windows? My girlfriend is a graphic designer and switched from Windows to Mac. She misses being able to use the Alt key and make menu selections. On Windows she can press "Alt" and then move through menus and submenus with one hand on the keyboard. When you press "Alt" the first letter of every menu is highlighted. When she presses a certain letter the menu drops down, and the first letter of every submenu is then highlighted. She can then navigate through all the submenus until she hits the selection she wants, all using the left hand on the keyboard. It's very fast and efficient. Can you do something similar to this on a Mac?
    The reason she wants to do this is because when she is in Photoshop, she likes to use her right hand on the mouse with the cursor inside the canvas (sketching, moving layers around) while she makes menu commands with the left hand. It is 10 times faster this way than using the mouse for everything. Hot keys are not the same because you must have those memorized. With the "Alt" key function, you can open a drop down menu, see the choices, and make your selection.
    I have been a Mac person my whole life, and I have to say, it's a pretty awesome function. I really want the Mac to have something similar.

    [Actual studies|http://www.asktog.com/TOI/toi06KeyboardVMouse1.html] have found it is faster to use the mouse to make command activations than using keyboard shortcuts.
    The 20-year-old argument on that web page isn't very convincing. Keyboard shortcuts are certainly faster for experience power users who do the same thing every day. The mouse is faster only for new users or users doing non-repetitive commands every day.
    It is interesting that one of the posts on that page said this:
    I remember one mainframe company in the sixties that came up with the following command-key guidelines:
    Use the first letter of the command word
    If the first letter is already used, use the last letter
    If the last letter is already used, use the second letter
    If the second letter is already used, use the second-to-the-last letter
    etc.
    This is actually very similar to how the keyboard-driven menus work in Mac OS X. The advantage over the Windows method is that when there is more than one command in a menu that shares the same first letter, you do not have to memorize which command uses which letter. You just type ahead until the correct command is selected.
    I would, however, encourage Derek Doublin1's girlfriend to learn the direct keyboard shortcuts in Photoshop. On Mac or PC, for me pressing Command-Option-I is much faster than either the mouse or using the keyboard to drop the Image menu and walk down to the Image Size command.

  • Shuts down when held with one hand or tilted

    My Macbook Pro recently started shutting down if it was tilted on my lap or if I grabbed it with one hand in the middle left hand side. It is very weird and any explanations as to why this is happening would be appreciated.

    I know it's always like that .. how about trying to nail the scenario well so you can demonstrate there ?maybe catching it on video ???

  • Link Layers with One Hand?

    Something that's been bugging me about the way Photoshop links layers now is that I have to use two hands. I'm a WAHM, and I often am working with a baby in my lap and only one hand to work both my mouse and keyboard. It used to be that we could simply click on the link icon to link layers to the active layer, but nowadays it's a shift or ctrl+click to do it. Is there a one-handed method to link layers anymore, or am I out of luck until this kid gets older?

    Instead of linking, place layers into a group folder. Layers in a group folder will be just as if linked.
    Anytime you need to manipulate the layers in a group folder, either select the folder group in the layers palette or grab the move tool. If you use the move tool, check the box beside "Auto-select" and select "Group" in the pull down menu located to the right of the auto-select box.

  • Is there a way to take a screenshot on iPad with one hand?

    I have a friend with only one working hand, and I have recommended an iPad to him. However, the only way of taking screenshots that I can find needs two hands. Is there another method?

    I tried this approach and while it does work, with the latest iOS AssistiveTouch there's an even better way to take a single-handed screenshot:
    1. Press the AssistiveTouch home icon to display the options overlay.  Hint: You can enable AssistiveTouch all the time or set triple-click Home to bring it up.
    2. Press the Device icon.
    3. Press the More icon.
    4. Press the Screenshot icon.
    And taking the screenshot this way also removes the AssistiveTouch overlay from the picture.
    Thanks Apple!

  • Apple Music app landscape mode USELESS!!!

    Ok, I need to bash Apple, not because I hate them...I love them an they get more of my paycheck than anyone, but update after update, Apple does nothing with the utterly useless landscape mode of a the music app!
    To see all my album covers is cool, and maybe I just have too much music, but it would probably take more than 30 minutes to scroll to look for something.  I can't imagine anyone can find this useful...or maybe I'm alone in my misery?  Esp on my iPhone 6 plus there could be so many better ways to utilize this. 
    Just had to vent my unhappiness with the current way it is...hopefully one day Apple will make it better.

    Submitting feedback is nice in theory, having a post that consumers can see is another.
    Do you honestly think posting gripes about this will accomplish anything?  If your intention is to somehow utilize this forum to force Apple's hand to improve the Music app, you're either naive or delusional.  This is a technical support forum, not a place to air your gripes.  This is not a technical problem that can be resolved here, so your contribution on this issue has no place here.  There are countless other forums or blogs where you can spout off about how silly the Music app is, but doing so here is against the terms of use that you agreed to.
    Now before you accuse me of being an Apple shill, I'll certainly admit that I too find the horizontal view of the Music app to be zero use to me.  I really can't see how it could be beneficial to anyone with more than 100 albums on their device.  The former carousel Apple called "Coverflow" was far more useful, where at least it would display albums in the vicinity to what you're currently listening to, and had a neat (but gimmicky) feature where the covers would shuffle like a jukebox when the album changed
    There are plenty of things that Apple does that I disagree with, but the difference is that I'll use the resource that Apple provides its consumers to provide feedback.  They may not take my comments into account, or maybe they will, but I'm not going to foolish to think that complaining on their technical support forum will have any impact, other than to make me look silly.

  • Looking for totable one-hand keyboard for iPad

    I want to carry my iPad into the field and need a better keyboard than the on-screen version. But, I also want it to fit onto the iPad so I can hold it with one hand and type with the other, so a non-flexible, horizontal frame for the iPad with a built-in keyboard would be ideal. Even more ideal would be if it had a hand strap (like my current leather case).
    Surely I can't be the only one who needs this functionality, but I don't see anything offered by any of the major manufacturers, through Amazon or Ebay, or reviewed on a searchable site. Don't know where else to look.

    Your best bet would be eBay or whatever online market your country has. I live in the Netherlands and Marktplaats.nl is a good source here. Where in Europe do you live?

  • Camera Orientation issue in landscape mode application

    Hello Team,
    I have developed one application and it is totally in landscape mode. I have one problem with opening camera in landscape mode. I have given only one orientation support "Landscape-Right" in .plist file . So that when i click Record button in my application at that time application crash and it gives me an error
    'Supported orientations has no common orientation with the application, and shouldAutorotate is returning YES'
    I have also read that iPhone support only Portrait mode for opening camera . In my application i have forcefully changed it to landscape using custom overlayview.
    Anyone have any idea regardig this?

    Please ignore, I have finally found the problem.
    I was initializing the UIView in my ViewController with the CGRect defined when in Portrait (bounds). So when I turned the device to go into landscape it was still using a portrait frame.
    I'm now initializing the UIView with: CGRect appFrameLandscape = CGRectMake(0, 0, 480, 320);

  • Iphone 5 one hand

    I know this likely isn't the place for this question, but does anyone else have a problem with Apple describing the iPhone as "easy to use with one hand"? I'm a woman, and my hands are small but not that small, and there is absolutely no way that I can hold this phone so I can use it one-handed. I love the big screen, it's gorgeous, but this entire ease-of-use-one-handed campaign seems to have been thought up by a bunch of men who don't realize that hand size is not an absolute.

    I have to shift the iPhone slightly in my right hand for certain tasks with my thumb. I can't keep the iPhone completely stationary after being picked up for everything with one hand, but I know what I'm able to do with my right thumb only (which is quite a bit while being left handed) would be impossible or much more difficult with the much wider and larger android devices with little or no choice but to use two hands for just about everything.
    I don't have a problem with the commercial since I easily use the iPhone with a single hand for a number of tasks - with my right hand and thumb and I'm left handed. I had shoulder surgery on my left shoulder a few years ago with my left arm in a sling for a month or so. I realized then how much I could do with one hand.

  • Is Apple or any App Developer planning on improving ONE HANDED options for iPhone 6 Plus?

    On my new iPhone 6+ even with the "reachability" double tap of the button where the top screen drops down, I still find the keyboard and icons to the far left so out of reach I MUST use two hands :-(.
    I may have to return the phone as I MUST be able to truly use it with one hand in many of my situations. But if App developers or Apple are planning to make a apps or options to make the 6 Plus truly usable with one hand, I will keep it for sure.
    Example idea: Allow MULTIPLE options for what happens when one "double taps the button." Keep Option 1 the way it is now (the top scrolls down). Make Option 2 like this: the entire screen simply scales down into bottom right corner so it appears to be the same size in hand as the iPhone 5 screen--the keyboard, icons, status icons, etc. ALL scale down so you use it with ease like the 5. Double tap again and it enlarges to the full screen.
    Does anyone know if any developer can make an app that can take over the button or does Apple restrict that only to themselves in which case are their rumors that they know this is an issue and plan to solve it?
    Mike :-)

    You didn't check all this out before you bought it? Yes, you should return it.

  • After i downloaded the iOS 7 i cannot play words with friends in landscape mode and its driving me silly :0/ im not the only one having this problem since the download.

    SInce downloading iOS i have not been able to play words with friends in landscape mode, emailed zinga and they cannot find a reason why. Before download i always played in landscape mode. People i know are also finding the same problem, even family, it rotates on other apps etc but not this,it will turn upside down but still in portrait mode, i and others have paid for this game for ad free. Help. Please

    This would be an app issue, not an issue with Apple.  If you can flip it upside down, your accelerometer is working fine and can sense what position you are holding you iPad, however, the app isn't allowing it to rotate.  Just give them time, and I'm sure they'll come out with an update for the app that will have it working again.

  • When I take a photo or video in landscape mode, it will not play back or show in landscape with the phone held horizontally.

    When I take a photo or video in landscape mode, it will not play back or show in landscape with the phone held horizontally. i have an iPhone 5. I think this happened sometime after the last upgrade but I am not sure when. is there a setting on the phone that may have gotten changed somehow?

    Slide your finger up from the bottom of the screen to reveal the Controls panel. One button controls orientation lock to prevent the screen rotating as you rotate the phone. You can toggle that control on and off as you need. Slide the panel back down when you are finished with it.

  • All my photos sync in landscape mode (even portrait ones) from my Mac IOS 7 on my new iPad Aid. How can I fix this?

    WHen i sync my new iPad Air IOS 7 , all my photos sync in landscape mode.  How can I keep the original orientation of photos? If I edit and rotate, it is saved in camera roll, not in the album.

    Just to conclude, and give hope for any still suffering, I succesfully upgraded my iPAD to ios5 yesterday evening.
    I did have a conversation with Apple support a couple of days agao, in line with many others I was given various reasons why things oustide the Apple environment might be the root cause such as
    - ports blocked on the network I was using (although when I asked which ones they weren't certain - "80 and 442 we think" was the response
    - a fault on the iPAD
    - slow network connection
    The more interesting part of teh conversation was Apple was that the firmware update part of the install actually involves quite a lot of interaction with apple servers. My conclusion would be that the well documented performance problems in the early days after ios5 release were the root cause of my problem - reference to network ports. iPAD faults were just a smokescreen.
    My key learning - don't upgrade soon after a major release, I already knew this but when offered an update I didn't go back and check precisley when it had been released so I should have paid more attention :-)

  • IOS 8 + landscape mode + AIR SDK 16 & 17 = problem with lost context

    It's seems that the "landscape" orientation make a 100% reproductible beug on my apps when I return to it after calling the camera or "picture explorer" (with a native extension or with AS3, this is the same problem).
    The problem is huge !! : no more texture present on the app, the photo taked with cam is partially visible, sometime a black square blink, no more interaction seems possible.
    I only reproduce this beug in landscape orientation, with ios8 and Air Sdk 17.0.0.124 or Air Sdk 16 on iphone 6.
    No problem with portrait orientation or Air Sdk = 15 or with a different version of ios.
    I've modified the last "Demo_Mobile" example include in starling, put the app in landscape mode and added a simple call to CameraUI, I still have the same problem.
    Any idea ?
    P.S :
    I'm also interested to know if someone else can or can't reproduce the beug on iphone6 with the starling example in landscape mode or
    can simply call the camera in landscape mode without problem on iphone 6 with the SDK 16 or 17.

    Hi,
    I faced the same problem using iAd iOS Extension (Adobe and Milkman Games ANEs).
    When a user clicks on one of the banner ads, a fullscreen pop-up ad is shown, and after closing this screen, the size of my app (a Starling app) is reduced by one third, I get a blinking rectangle on the top of the screen and a white rectangle on the vacuum remaining third to right.
    AIRSDK 16.x.x
    AIRSDK 17.0.0.123
    iOS 8.1
