Customizing Safari with iPad

Hi- I think I know the answer to this one, but I want to confirm. My friend recently bought an ipad and I was helping him learn how to use it. He wanted to change the home page in Safari to go to his MSN mail account instead of to Apple. Can you change the Safari home page? If not- are there other browser apps that you could recommend that do allow you to change it?
I showed him how to save his MSN page to one of the iPad screens and he would like to change the icon to a different picture. Is that capability there yet?
Thanks.
Mark

Thank you, Barbara. I thought it always opened to the Apple page- did not know it went to where you left off. Feel free to send me a link if all of this is explained online somewhere.
I would still like to know if you can customize the icons on the home pages- maybe in iTunes? I do not have an iPad yet- been torn between that and a new laptop- and really don't have the $ to do both. So- I am forced to live vicariously thru friend's toys:)

  • Access to live radio on Safari with iPad

    I cannot access live radio on given Websites on Safari with my iPad although I can easily with my MacBook Pro on the same websites. Anybody can explain why ? Setting problem ?

    Those sites are probably Flash Sites which do not work on the iPad. There is no setting to change that.
    Ther are many radio apps in the App Store, Pandora Radio, Tune in Radio, iHeart Radio. Look at some of them in the app store.

  • How do I to update Safari with iPad 1

    Safari crashes regularly on my iPad. My iPad is running the "best" OS available for it iOS 5.1.1... I would like to upgrade Safari to see if the problem goes away. However, I can't figure out how to upgrade to the version of Safari that is compatible with iOS 5.1.1. Any ideas?

    The original iPad cannot be updated beyond iOS 5.1.1 which includes Safari so try a reset.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    No data is lost due to a reset.

  • "Wobbly" page when scrolling in safari with iPad 3

    I've noticed a very strange "issue" with the scrolling on my iPad 3, It looks a little "wobbly" with quick up and down scrolling on a web page. It's like the left side is slightly lagging behind the right.
    Anyone else have this "issue"? I haven't heard anything about this.

    I noticed it on an iPad at the Apple Store.  I was scrolling through photos horizontally in landscape mode when I noticed the vertical edges of the photos became slightly tilted.  It is as if the top of the photo could not catch up with the bottom.  In Portrait mode, when swiping through app pages, icons seemed to stretch in when moving in one direction, and compress in the other.
    I did not try another iPad and therefore cannot say if it is a common issue.  iPad 2 does not have this issue.
    My sister could see it (barely) after I told her.  My niece couldn't.  Therfore It is possible that some people are more sensitive to this phenomenon than others, just like some people can see the "rainbow effect" on DLP projectors whereas others cannot.
    I'll check it out on another ipad when I have a chance to go to the Apple Store again.

    Facebook videos are still working for me in the Facebook App (using iOS 7.0.6).
    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
    No data will be lost.

    I am using safari on my iPad to respond here. What problems are you having? Do you have a good wifi connection? Try a reset, hold the power button and home button until you see the apple then let go.

  • Why do I get a blue box with ? In Safari with my iPad?

    Why do I get a blue box with ? In Safari with my iPad?  It appears to be where pictures should be.  Very annoying when trying to read through an explanation of something and I get this dang blue box.

    It's usually some graphics element that the iPad can't handle. Maybe it's a flash image, maybe it has another protocol that the iPad just can't display. NO way to say for sure without viewing the same page on a computer then checking the file type.

  • How can i discover bonjour service with safari on IPAD?

    How can i discover bonjour service with safari on IPAD?
    I can use safari on MAC to discover bonjour service on network, but how can i do that with safari on IPAD?
    Thanks a lot.

    unfortunately, You cannot get bonjour on ipad. But however, you can get a program on the mac (assuming you have a mac) called printopia (http://www.ecamm.com/mac/printopia/) which will turn your printer in to AirPrint when the mac is on. it works very well all the instructions are on the website

  • Less than two week old iPad Air crashes with youtube/netflix and Safari when loading pages with video (i.e. Buzzfeed with links to youtube and vine). What's up with iPad Air's bugs with videos??

    Week and a half old iPad Air crashes with light usage of youtube, netflix and safari pages with video links to youtube and vine. The consistency of problems with videos has led me to determine that it must be bugs with iPad Air. Anyone else having this problem?
    Details: iPad Air 16gb wifi, have only used about 25% of space and always close all apps before opening another. I also have only had a max of two tabs open on safari of basic internet surfing (i.e. A google search page, or imdb for example). These crashes are annoying as sh......

    I can well imagine that they are.
    I would backup, restore to factory settings, restore from the backup and then try again. If that fails, restore again but do not use the backup - restore as new. If the iPad functions OK as new, then slowly rebuild the iPad adding your apps, music etc, methodically to see if you can pin down what might be causing the problem.
    if all of that fails, it's time to schedule an appointment at an Apple a Store (must be done online) and have them take a look, or of it is lees than two weeks old, just return it for a refund and buy another one.

  • I'm trying to open a PDF from Safari with iBooks, but when I choose "Open with ..." in Safari, only Pages and Dropbox show as options.  I'm running iOS 7.1.2 and iBooks 3.2.  Thanks for any ideas!

    On my iPad, I'm trying to open a PDF from Safari with iBooks, but when I choose "Open with ..." in Safari, only Pages and Dropbox show as options.  I'm running iOS 7.1.2 and iBooks 3.2.  I have rebooted the iPad and that did not help, and reinstalled iBooks, which also changed nothing.  Thanks for any ideas!

    Yup, it was uploaded to our school Wiki as a PDF, and Pages did open it.  I was then able to move it to iBooks, but I'd rather avoid the extra steps.

  • How to use KeyChain API from client-side HTML scripting in Safari on iPad?

    I have a requirement where I need to add client-side scripting in an HTML page to be supported by Safari on iPad that creates a private / public key pair and that creates a CSR (Certificate Signing Request) in PKCS#10 or SPKAC format that can be sent to a certification authority server using form HTTP/POST that will then return the generated certificate.
    I initially thought that I could simply use the HTML 5 tag <keygen> which can do exactly what I need, but unfortunately this tag is not at all supported on mobile Apple devices like iPad or iPhone, so I have to look for another solution.
    I have noticed that the KeyChain tool should be available on iPad using the documented API, but I have no idea based on the documentation whether the API can be called from client-side HTML scripting on iPad.
    Question : is it technically possible using the functionalities and API's exposed on an iPad to implement what I just described in HTML client-side scripting? If so, do you have some links with useful information that can help me on my way?

    On my iPad when I hold down on the rotate buttons it does rotate but I see that you have the same problem that I do regarding the iPad menu appearing when holding a button for more than a half second or so. Do you have any idea how to prevent the (Copy | Select | Select All) menu from popping up on the iPad?

  • I have an Ipad2, I didnt have problems to connect wifi in general , except at one library where they asked me to accept terms and conditions and then re start the browser. I tried to close safari with the close gesture but didnt work, wouldnt connect.

    I want to use my ipad in a public library.
    How can I re start a browser session with safari? I need to do this to use wifi in the library. After accepting terms and conditions it ask me to restart all the browser sessions. But with Ipad it doesnt seem to close totally the application.
    Please, help!

    Try a force quit, I don't know if it closes the sessions but it's worth a try...
    When in the app, press on the sleep/wake button until the shutdown screen appears, then press the home button until the app quits.
