Anyone tried different web browsers on the ipad?

HI,
I tried the ipad out today, and I couldn't get on with the safari browser. The back 'button' was in the wrong place for me as it's in the upper left corner of the screen, and I tend to hold the ipad with my left hand towards the bottom of the screen. I know it doesn't sound like a major issue, but as I'd be doing a lot of web browsing it was enough to put me off buying one, considering the price.
I've jsut found out (thanks to this forum) that there are other browsers for the ipad. Has anyone tried them, and how good are they? Is the back 'button' always in the same place, or is there one with it at the bottom of the screen?

I just looked at the screen shots for the browsers I mentioned in the other thread. It appears that in the Atomic browser, the back/forward buttons are on a bar on the lower left portion of the screen. Perhaps someone who has the Atomic browser installed can confirm.
Thanks, just youtubed it and it is on the bottom left. Looks more like the safari on the iphone where the back/forward buttons are much better placed. I wonder why they changed this for the ipad safari?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

  • Is anyone else having an issue with the iPad not charging if you use it while it's plugged into a power source?  Now that I'm on iOS 7, I either charge or use... Not both.

    No problems here.

  • HT204074 I am trying to download apps to the iPad that we just purchased from iTunes.   I click on all the apps I want downloaded and it keeps telling me I need to authorize this computer .  I have done what they told me to do and still wont let me downlo

    I am trying to downloadapps onto the iPad we just purchased, and it keeps telling me that I need to authorize my computer.  I go ahead and authorize by going into iTunes/store/authorize computer, I verify the information that is given.  I go back and try to redownload the apps and I get the same exact message, this computer is not authorized for this device.  What am I doing wrong?

    I have been trying to work through this problem by myself and have so far downloaded the most current version of iTunes.  Frome there when it tells me I have to authorize this computer, I had to not put in the iPad information, I had to authorize with my current iTunes information, and any iPad or iPod, iPhone information.  I have several people in the family that have different accounts, so I had to authorize each and every individual account because I didnt know which apps or music was purchased under which user.  Hope this helps others....  Good luck!!

  • How can I search different App Stores on the iPad without creating accounts for them?

    I'm doing some research on the contents of different App Stores, and the only search feature that gives me all the data I need is the iPad store under iOS 5 or earlier. However, I cannot search a different store without creating an account and signing in, and to create an account I have to have a billing address in that store's country. iTunes on my Mac will let me search various stores without signing in (as long as I don't try to download), but iTunes doesn't give me all the information I need. Does anyone have any ideas for using iPad to search different stores without signing in?
    Thanks!

    This will make a permanent change to the store location for that ID (at least, until I change it back). That *may* be useful (I won't know for a few hours because I don't have the iPad with me right now), but it's not what I want. Within the App Store I want to search a different store without having to sign in. I can do this easily enough in iTunes on my MBP and would really like to do it on the iPad too (because the iTunes app search doesn't give me all the info I need).
    Thanks for the idea; stay tuned. I'll get back to you as soon as I get the chance to try it.

  • Has anyone tried using their keyboard dock on iPad 2?

    I'm trying mine out as I write ... it seems to be fine?? Anyone? Anyone?!

    Im using the Apple keyboard dock with the iPad 2 right now. Initial thoughts/concerns:
    - the iPad seems to want to tip over and out of the dock when using on lap
    - some shortcuts (like command+arrows to navigate back/forth on safari, etc) don't work while other do (such as command+c, v, x--the standard ones). My guess is that this limitation was intentional so iPad users don't replace their laptops.

  • Has anyone tried to sync photos with the cable to itunes rather than how it should work via Wifi with iCloud?  The info on the Apple support page says that you should backup to both iTunes & iCloud, but 2x the Genius Bar told me not to.  Help please!

    Has anyone tried syncing their photos to iTunes with the cable in addition to how it should work via wi-fi on iCloud?  On the Apple support info page, it says you should do both types oof backup. The Genius Bar told me 2x not to do both.  What experiences has the community had?  I'm also having syncing issues with photos most recently as well as contact updates.  (I have an iPhone 4S with the iOS7.1)  Thanks much!

    It sounds like you are mixing up several different things (or not using the terminology that Apple uses).
    One thing is backup. You can backup via icloud or via iTunes and there is no reason you cannot do both -- I do and the second link below from Apple gives instructions. Doing a backup will include photos from the Camera Roll in the backup but you will not be able to see the results -- all of the backup data will be stored on iCloud or on your computer in files that are not designed to be accessed by you for any purpose other than restoring to your phone in the event of a problem. More information on backup:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5262
    If you simply want to transfer photos from an iPhone to a computer, the terminology Apple uses for that is "import" and it is done without iTunes. New photos (taken after you change the setting) can be done via PhotoStream which is a cloud based option. The other option is via cable. Instructions for both: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083
    Syncing via iTunes (with regard to photos) is used to transfer photos the other direction -- from the computer to the phone. Instructions for that http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236

  • Images on Facebook do not appear when using different web browsers

    Images on Facebook do not appear when using Safari on my Macbook Pro (I've tried Google Chrome too with the same result).  This makes me think it's a setting within OS Mavericks that I'm missing.  I have not seen this issue on any other computers.  This only occurs on my, and others' profile pictures on my profile page and on the news feed, not photos that are posted in albums or on walls.  and yes, i have images enabled in Safari.
    In safari the images don't appear, and in their place is a small blue "?" square >>.
    In Chrome it appears as a broken image link >>
    Has anyone encountered this?  Is there a fix?  It is very annoying.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • I have a canon 60D and I'm trying to view images on the Ipad using the sd reader but no luck. Any help or ideas?

    I have a Canon 60D and I am unable to view or transfer photos to the Ipad using the SD Card reader. I have been able to view images with a Canon T3i. Are there certain settings I need to set on the 60d or should it work automatically? anythoughts or ideas? thanks

    Are the photo's you're trying to view/download in Raw?  I've had difficulty downloading Raw files, but have had no issues downloading JPEG files. Also, check a setting in your Canon, called communication.  From what I've read (I'm a Nikon D5100 guy myself), communication needs to be set to PTP, not normal.  I'm not sure how that will help if the pictures are already encoded?
    Well scratch what I've written.  I just googled the 60D and supposedly, JPEG and Raw are supposed to transfer through the SD card reader easily.  So, I'm clueless.  Sorry.......

  • Can I do a restore from my mini to an iPad air. Tried to do it with the iPad 2 and it said the back up was corrupt or the iPad was not compatible

    I got an iPad 2 and tried to back it up from my iPad mini last back up and it says the backup was either corrupt or not compatible for the ipad2. Will I be able to restore from back up (of the mini) to the iPad air?

    That depends on the iOS Versions on the iPads.   Backups must be of the same or lower iOS version as the one installed on the device to work.
    What iOS version is on the iPad 2 and the mini.  If the Mini had a newer version than the 2 then that's why it did not work.
    Since the Air will have the newest available, it should work just fine.

  • Error when trying to display video on the iPad

    Hi, I am uploading a video as a cover for my magazine, it's worked for me in the past, but now it keeps giving me the same error...
    The page loads and the creen is solid white, although I've told the video to play by itself on page load. So then I try tapping the page and if gives m an error saying "Unable to load media. Please check your internet connection or try again later."
    This is embeded so I really don't know why it needs the internet and have no idea what I'm doing wrong.
    I'm using V19 of producer tools and I'm testing on an iPad 3.
    Here is the info of the file (I have blurred out any client information):

    There are several reasons this problem may occur. jkuhns nailed one -- another reason is if you're tying to make videos too large for the device. The maximum resolution the iPad supports for video is 1080p. Please make sure you're using something sized correctly and H.264 encoded.
