What third party software on the ipad is good for the elderly?

All I was trying to do was to get some ideas for setting up an Ipad for my Dad for Father's Day. It's getting so you can't even ask a question w/o someone blasting you.
I appreciate the links that people provided. For the record, this was not meant to insult anyone. If I go to CNet.com I can get the top 10 downloads. So magazines will last best apps, etc...I did not mean to insult anyone. I apologize if anyone took my question the wrong way.
To narrow this down, my father loves to read, loves card games, board games.  I'm also interested in something that will expand his education on how to use the Ipad.
Thanks,
Paul
I just think folks found it such a broad, open ended question it is difficult to really say specifically.
For reading, depending on what your Dad likes to read, you have lots of options.  Many newspapers, magazines and news sites have specific apps for thier content, so you can search for ones that you know he reads.  You can install the iBook app, the Nook app both of which have their own stores to purchase from, but both also support non-DRM ePub formats like those from project Gutenberg, so you may be able to pre-load them with some free books he may like (or give him a Barnes&Noble or iTunes gift card to buy his first books).  There is a Kindle app too, if you do not mind being tied to the Kindle store only.
There are also some excellent crosswords apps if he likes those and I like the board games from Optime software (chess and checkers) but there are also apps for SmartGo, Mancala, Backgammon - just browse the section in the app store to see what catches your eye.

  • The best third party recovery software for  OS X?

    Can someone please recommend the best third party recovery software for  OS X. Accidentally emtied my trash when I shouldn't have.
    Thank you for your help.

    General File Recovery
    If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro.  Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.  Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk.  Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.
    The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
    Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.

  • Could someone tell me what the Third Party application is for the SAP Wiki?

    We are reviewing Wiki applications and currently own the SAP Portal.  We are looking at Confluence and HLP and I am wondering if this is the same product that will be available in the SAP Portal next year?

    Hi,
    Check this:

  • How can I add my software in Adobe's Third-party plug-ins for Adobe Premiere Pro ?

    Hi,
    Our company have a software called Moyea Importer for Adobe Premiere.
    Moyea Importer for Adobe Premiere is a recommended FLV, MPG, RMVB, HD  video import plugin for Adobe Premiere Pro. This plug-in enables users  to import FLV videos with various codec like AVC/H.264, AAC, Screen  Video, Nellymoser, MP3, PCM, and Sorenson H.263. Besides FLV video, the  plug-in allows AVCHD import and HD video import in MTS, M2TS, TP, TS,  and MKV formats.
    Moyea Importer for Adobe Premiere do not convert your video so it keeps  video quality for you. The plug-in automatically detects the Adobe Premiere versions on your  machine and you can choose the versions to install the plug-in. It  currently supports Adobe Premiere Pro 1.0/1.5/2.0/CS3/CS4 and Elements  3.0/4.0/7.0/8.0.
    I notice in Third-party plug-ins for Adobe Premiere Pro this part, Adobe didn't get any such plug-ins. They only have two file support plug-ins and Moyea Importer can fill the blank.
    Now I want to submit this software on Adobe's site but I don't know where to submit or who I should to contact. Any suggestions? I really need your help and I am sure it is really good software.

    Any suggestion? Admin of this board? Who can help me

  • Third party backup software, how is the log sequence working?

    Me and a colleague had a discussion about how third party software and full backups locally on the SQL works together.
    If we use TSM that do full backups and then logbackups every hour in between for example.
    If I between the two full backups from TSM accidently do a "non copy-only" full backup do I then also break the whole log sequence backup from then and untill the next TSM backup is?
    Or can I use the full backup from my mistake and then take the log backups from TSM that occured after that fail and restore the database?
    I guess this depends on the third party backup software, but in my mind it should work but according to him it doesn't.
    Try to "paint" how I mean:
    I = full TSM backup
    - = log TSM
    F = my fail backup full but not copy only.
    I---F-------I
              ^ is where I would want to restore with both my full one and the logs from TSM. Hope you understand what I mean.

    yes, you should be able to use the full backup taken in middle and use the rest of the log backups taken afterwards to restore the database.while I do not use TSM, we use QUEST(DELL) LITESPEED, that takes full backup once a day and log backups
    every 15mins.
    if someone accidentally takes full backup in the middle of day with out 'copy only',
    log sequence will break and successive log backups depend on this full back up.
    while this should be prevented from happening in first place, you can still restore from native full backup and then apply log backups taken from third party taken after the  native Full backup.
    if this happens, I would restore the FULLBACKP with NORECOVERY using NATIVE SQL and then use  lite speed syntax to restore the log backups.Remember, native sql cannot read third party formatted backups(atleast litespeed), thats why I restore the full backup
    using native sql, since it was taken with native sql backup and log backups using litespeed syntax.
    Hope it Helps!!
    Thanks, well it was just a theory discussion we had about the issue. But none of us could find info on the internet easy to prove our point :) Thanks.

  • HT4623 I tried to update my ipad air to IOS 7.1 but it shows error that "The software for the iphone was corrupted during download" How can I fix this problem ?

    I tried to update my ipad air from IOS 7.0.4 to 7.1 on iTunes. I clicked download and update, it started to download normally but when download finished iTunes shows error that "The software for the iphone was corrupted during download".
    How can I fix this error ?

    I had the same problem. In the end I downloaded it manually. Here's the steps assuming you are on a Mac and have an iPad Air (Wifi). If not you can find other restore links here.
    In the terminal (it kept failing to download in Safari):
    curl http://appldnld.apple.com/iOS7.1/031-4521.20140310.D2Ydl/iPad4,1_7.1_11D167_Rest ore.ipsw >>~/Desktop/iPad4,1_7.1_11D167_Restore.ipsw
    Once the file has downloaded, move it to ~/Library/iTunes/iPad Software Updates/
    Quit and relaunch iTunes.
    Should now work for you.

  • IPad update Error- There was a problem downloading the software for the iPad .... network settings

    "iPad update Error- There was a problem downloading the software for the iPad X you do not have enough access privileges for this operation. Make sure your network settings are correct and your connection is active, or try again." is the error. The rest of iTunes, sycning, and ipad operations work. I am on OSX 10.6.8. iTunes is the most recent addition.
    I've been having this problem for a while but it has yet to go away. Any help please?

    OK. Good. The most likely culprit is either your firewall or anti-virus software. Temporarily disable both while you are doing the update (then, of course, turn them back on when you are done).

    There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone (or another iOS device)
    See the steps below for error codes 3000-3999.
    Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
    Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
    Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
    Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.
