I find it extremely difficult to read books on my ipad 2 while sitting in the sun at the pool or the beach. Any suggestions?

If you put a towel over your head and ipad then it will block out the sun, and the ipad is easily visable. Just being difficult, but yeah that is one of thous little ipad short cummings that apple doesn't pitch in the nice cool commercials. For me, I have to essentually turn the brightness up fully for best results, still isn't perfect.

  • I have Lion, and I can't see my unread messages count in the dock, even after the preferences set up. I find the Lion Mail too complicated. Leopard was much easier and more simple to use. I only have one account& don't need all the rest. any suggestions

  • I have recently upgraded my iMac to 10.6.8 and now find that the upload photo to Facebook facility no longer works. I have reset Safari but this has not resolved the issue - any suggestions?

    I have recently upgraded my iMac to 10.6.8 and now find that the upload photo to Facebook facility no longer works. I have reset Safari but this has not resolved the issue - any suggestions? I can click on the "upload photos/video" field and it takes me to Finder to select the photo - but on selecting the photo, the Finder screen disappears as normal but from then on nothing happens.

    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
    Click:  Remove All Website Data
    Now empty the Safari cache.
    Back to the menu bar, click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
    Select:  Show Develop menu in menu bar
    Now click Develop from the menu bar. From the drop down menu click Empty Caches.
    Quit and relaunch Safari then try Facebook.
    If that doesn't help, it may be a Safari extension preventing you from uploading content to Facebook.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

  • Why when i buy books on my ipad, when i log onto the store it does not show that i have purchased them?

    Why when i buy books on my ipad, when i log onto the store it does not show that i have purchased them?
    how many books and songs were therefore lost when i had to wipe my ipad?
    this is SHOCKING from Apple... this is not in my domain of settings!!!

    In the iBooks application on the Mac, there is a checkbox to sync highlights and notes across devices. 
    I don't see a similar setting in the iBooks app on my iPad.  It may require iBooks on the Mac as a mediator.
    Also:
    Can I highlight text and make notes?
    Yes, iBooks includes built-in Highlight and Note features. Highlight any word or passage of text within a book. You can also create a Note from your highlighted selection. Review your Highlights and Notes by tapping the Table of Contents button and then tapping Bookmarks. Highlights and Notes appear in their own section under Bookmarks. 

  • I use my mac book to dj. however, i tend to get the beach ball alot. is this due to lack of memory or is it something else. ive been thinking about getting more memory but i am not sure what the issue is

    I use my mac book to dj. however, i tend to get the beach ball alot. is this due to lack of memory or is it something else. ive been thinking about getting more memory but i am not sure what the issue is...i would like some advice before i go and buy more memory if it is not needed... i also do not keep my music on my lap top

    Okay, so we've eliminated the lack of space since you have plenty.
    See the screenshot from my Mac here:
    Page ins and page outs - post those (or just post the same type of screenshot). If you have a lot of those, that means that your machine needs to keep swapping RAM around to make the best of what is available which can result in slow responses.
    Also post the total amount of RAM you have (in my case, I have 12 GB)
    You free RAM of 221 MB is very, very low - I'm guessing you only have a total of 2 GB. If that is the case, I would absolutely max out the machine (if you don't know how much RAM you can put in, post your model number here so we can help with that).

  • Sony Reader books onto my iPad?

    I have 6 books I purchased on my old Sony Reader, I would like to be able to read them on my iPad. Can someone please walk me thru the steps, I have tried putting them into iTunes and transferring to iBooks (did not work), I emailed one to myself and tried to open it with Bluefire, that didn't work either. Thanks.

    I fixed my own problem! Upload from your Sony Reader to your computer (no software needed), save your books in a desktop file. Then email each book (one at a time is best) to yourself. Open the email on your iPad and the book will download within the email (I use Gmail). Touch your finger to the downloaded title and a menu will appear, you can choose to open it with Kobo (if you have an account) OR you can open it with Bluefire Reader (free App). The only catch is before you can read it you have to remember the Adobe ID and password that you bought the books with. To me, this was the most difficult task, as I had used a now defunct email address from years ago! I tried all the more recent ones first, none worked. I finally went WAY BACK to early email addresses and passwords and VOILA, I now have all six of my Diana Gabaldon books on my new iPad Air 2, in both Kobo and Bluefire.

  • Trying to connect a new printer to my Mac book, and it cant find the device any suggestions?

    I have just bought a new printer a Canon MG5350 and my Mac will not connect to it. It wont find it through wireless and when i connect a printer cord, it recognises the printer but cant find any drivers to support it.
    Has anyone got any suggestions?

    Maybe, check their specs and read their reviews BEFORE purchasing.

  • I downloaded a book to my Ipad and when I went to sync with Itunes on my PC- it removed the book from my Ipad, but shows it on the PC.  I have it "checked" to be synced but it still does not show up on my Ipad?  This also happened after I downloaded IOS 5

    I downloaded a book on my Ipad and after syncing to my PC, it was dropped from the Ipad, but shows up on my PC?  I have it "checked" to be synced but it will not come back onto my Ipad.  This is also after I downloaded IOS 5.1 for the Ipad.  Does anyone know why it would be dropped from the Ipad?

    Sometimes simply restarting your iTunes, the computer and the iPad is all that it takes to correct an issue like this so try that. Quit iTunes, reboot your computer, and restart the iPad. Then try the sync again.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

    Yes indeed ddanielsun is encountering  the same problem that led me to initiate this thread ... If you try to install any of the available 10.9.x from 10.6.8 the installer exits with an error "10.9 required for this update" ... seems strange that 10.9 is so very hard to find ! ! !
    jeff
    Clearly you can not update 10.9 if you do not have 10.9
    It is very easy to find, it is in the App Store as the picture I posted earlier displays. Follow the same instructions. If you can't then use THIS LINK which will take you there.
    The current version of 10.9 is 10.9.5 and that is what you will get.

    If this does not work, get it serviced or visit your next Apple Store.
