Interesting problem with the iPad User Guide ...

When I first got my iPad ... very much unlike myself, I thought ... I should read the manual rather than just stumble into how to use this thing.
I went to the manual ... and, first, it was a webpage. What if I was having problems connecting to the Internet?
Then ... it is a very large PDF file and takes quite a long time to load. I got it and read a little of it, and went off to do something else. Later I wanted to read some more of the manual.
When I went to the manual again ... I had to download the entire thing again.
Huh??? What if people want to read the manual when they do not have internet access or the time it takes to download a 20MB PDF file?
Yes .... 20 MEGABYTES! That is a long time on a wifi connection.
Is there something I am missing? Is there a way to cache or store a web page, or write it to a file? Because I did not see anything like that. Is there a local help file or facility on the iPad, because I did not really see that either?

lowboydrvr:
Thank you for pointing out that the iPad manual is an app in the app store.
Still for people who do not have their iPad fully functional that might want
to be preloaded, and deletable for those who do not think they need it.
Governa:
Now, sorry to ask but... you find 20MB a lot? It takes you "a long time on
a wifi connection"? 20MB nowadays is nothing mate!
That's Gmail's attachment limit for example
Yeah, the maximum attackment size, done for reasons of market share.
And yes, 20MB is along time over wireless when you are looking for a
specific bit of information, thanks for that useful comment though.

  • Hi, my facebook app on my Ipad3 has stopped allowing me to put comments on. Does anyone have any ideas how to correct this? Don't know if it is a problem with the Ipad or just the facebook app. Thanks.

    Try reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

  • Has anyone else had a screen separation problem with the ipad?

    Has anyone else had a screen separation problem with the ipad?

    Does it really matter whether anyone else has? If you have, that's a problem for you whether or not anyone else has experienced the same issue. Call Apple tech support or take the iPad to an Apple Store, if there's one in your area, and they'll replace the iPad unless it's determined that the problem was caused by some sort of accident rather than a factory defect.
    Regards.

  • 2 Problems with the Ipad Air...midi keyboard and usb microphone

    IN SHORT:
    2 Problems with the Ipad Air...what midi keyboard will connect to the lightning camera connector and what microphone as well?  There seems to be issues with the ipad air not being able to power them.  Has anyone got any devices to work yet?
    IN DEPTH:
    I have a yeti microphone that when I plug in it says its using too much power.  A little samsung go mic I have plugs in find and works but isnt quite what im looking for.  My midi keyboard is not reading...its probably 15yrs old (didnt expect it to work).  I have ordered a usb powered keyboard but im now nervous it may not work if it requires too much power.  Has anyone had any success with a particular model of keybaord?  I saw a youtube video of the CME Xkey in which it was plugged into an ipad that uses the lightning jack, but was unsure if it was the air or a different model.
    Any help is appreciated on this...I love my ipad air and hoping to make it my fully functional music recording device.
    By the way I mostly use garageband

    hey mate
    Yes what I ended up doing is buying a powered usb hub.  They are about 10 dollars or so on amazon.com.   There are tons to choose from.  I use a yeti micrphone now with no issues and a midi keyboard.  You will need the lightning usb adapter too.  You plug the lightning adapter into the ipad and the hub into the adapter then plug all your accessories into the powered hub.  So it works well you just gotta buy an extra piece of equipment.

  • Where is the ibooks chapter in the iPad user guide?

    This statement was on the web page Apple - Support - iOS apps - iBooks.
    Download the User Guide
    Download the User Guide for your device and view the iBooks chapter to learn more about iBooks and the iBooks Store. Select your device below:
    I could not find a chapter for iBooks in the ipad user guide(iOS 7).

    Strangely enough there is no iBooks chapter in the user guide for iOS7. It is there however, in the user guide for iOS 6.

  • Due to the rumored heat problems with the iPad 3, is there a danger in using a leather case design for it.

    I recently purchased a 64 GB Verizon LTE iPad,  along with a Bear Motion leather case designed specifically for that model. I've been reading a lot about the heat problems with the new iPad and although I haven't noticed them on mine, I'm worried that putting it in the case may cause worse problems. Is this something I should be concerned about?

    Unless you have a defective iPad you should be fine.  The only time it should be heating up is when you're running an intensive app like a game that's working the quad-core processor and the screen.  I bought a Targus leather case for mine and play InfinityBlade2 on it and haven't noticed any heating issues with mine, but the part holding the iPad is plastic, so it can disipate heat better.
    If your iPad gets too hot it'll warn you, so I'd use it for now and see what happens.  It'll shut down before it causes any permanent damage.

  • Having just bought an iMac and set every thing up I have found that my IPad seems to run very slow. I have also just updated the IPad to OS 5.1 .Are these two things connected or is there a problem with the IPad

    Having just bought an iMac and set every thing up I have found that my IPad seems to run very slow. I have also just updated the IPad to OS 5.1 .Are these two things connected or is there a problem with the IPad

    Using the Mac with your iPad has nothing to do with the fact that the iPad is running slow. There could be any number of reasons why the iPad is now running slow.
    Have you tried a reset on the iPad?
    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.

  • I've heard there have been problems with the IPAD 2 and verizon 3 G have these been corrected? I'm about to buy an IPAD and there are more verizon versions available than AT

    I'm about to purchase and IPAD 2 and the net seems full of comments about problems with the IPAD2 3 G and verizon service? Is this still an issue and if so
    how bad? AT&T version is very hard to find, should I get the Verizon or wait?

    You need to remember that these forums are like an emergency room.  All the gazillions of well people don't visit the ER.  Only sick people.
    Same thing for this forum.  Some people had problems activating their iPad 2 with Verizon.  Most didn't and certainly wouldn't post here.
    I would not use this as a consideration in which iPad to buy.  Rather I would consider whether I might be traveling outside the US with the iPad 2.  If you are, then you most certainly need the AT&T (GSM) version if you want to be able to access data without using WiFi.  The Verizon iPad has no SIM card, and the technology it uses is pretty much limited to the USA. 

  • Where is the iOS6 version of the iPad User Guide and /or guide for the new version of Maps?

    Yesterday I installed iOS6 along with 4 updates one of which was the User Guide, as I recall.   But my user guide till has iOS5  Maps guidance so must be the old guide.  How do I download the iOS6 UserGuide and new Maps guidance? Thanks

    There doesn't seem to be one for iPad yet. There is an iOS 6 guide for iPhone. They are virtually the same.

  • Does anyone have a problem with the ipad air screen?

    I bought an ipad air last week and the left edge of the screen was darker than the other side. It was obvious so I just returned it and bought a new one since the store didn't have the same style in storage. I bought another one from another retailer, and just found the same problem, but not as serious as the former one. So I just took it back to the store the next day and exchange another one. Unfortunately, the third one had the same problem at the up-left corner of the screen. I admit that I am picky, but I think I pay this amount of money so I deserve perfect screen. If the brightness of the two sides is different, I dont think it is a product of good quality.
    Just want know if anyone else have the same problem with me. Or you just can bear the small diffrence of display.  BTW, in China, it is reported spreadly that the ipad air screen has a problem. They even generalize the serial number for problematic ipad air.

    Yep.   Many quality control problems.   The new mini has fewer issues.   No problems with older models.

  • Email problem with the iPad

    Hello, I am having a problem with my email on my iPad... Whenever someone tries to send a picture message on my email, It will show an attachment when I open it but the picture will not show. Also, the subject of the email is Thread-index (with a bunch of letters and numbers)
    Thanks

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!

  • Netflix: am having problems with the iPad on it. Error box pops up and tells me 'safari cannot connect: too many redirects'. Also the iPad freezes on netflix. Advise needed. Thnx.

    Whew, this is driving me nuts. I use the iPad for nearly all my online connection. Dunno why netflix is not working well on it lately; it used to work well enough.

    We have the same problem with download interruptions in our app v32.
    And in addition it seems that every interruption of download leaves some unused data on device. When we try to continue the download, it mostly fails at the same point. But with every attempt the application takes more and more device space. It goes so far that we have three- or fourtimes more device space in use that is the common size of app and downloaded content, although we actually still didn't download the whole content. (We try also download the same folio with Adobe Content Viewer and it does the same.)
    Finally we open the content and force to download remaining articles one by one with moving across the content manually. Articles where download fails we downloaded as last. It wasn't without problems but we have success after many attempts. In the end the device space used by app with content was enormous! When we deleted all content, used space was decreased by the size of folio, but the unused data wasn't removed until the whole application was deleted from iPad. We send it as bug report to Adobe.
    Now we are in very bad situation, because our clients can't download their paid content. (Most of them hasn't so big patience as we had with downloading content.)
    So we hope that dev team figure out soon what is going on or we are finished.
