New iOS 5 Apps

Have to say I'm not exactly impressed with the Apps that suddenly appeared as part of the iOS 5 update. The whole iCloud thing is somewhat lost on me as an iPad only user (I'm not a Mac computer user either). But most disappointing is the Newsstand App, which is absolutely rubbish. I think the problem is that the store just takes you to iTunes where searching for stuff is just painful. I saw a Magbook in a newsagent the other day that I wanted to get on my iPad. I couldn't remember the name so I'm kind of stuck. I found it on Zinio in about 20 seconds because it has a search tool. Nothing fancy but you get where you need to be by way of title search, key words, category. So I've been wholly unimpressed with Newsstand and have gone back to Zinio. Just disappointed it doesn't seem to be possible to delete crappy Apple Apps that they insist on lumping in with the iOS (why is that BTW?!).

Newstand really isn't an app - it's a folder to contain select apps (which is why you can't move Newstand into another folder). It works fine for what Apple wants it to do... their search would naturally take you to iTunes, because that's where the apps that go into Newstand can be found.
True. I've noticed magazines now appear in the App Store along with all the other Apps. I think it would have been better if Apple made Newsstand more like Zinio i.e. an App where you can search for, read & download magazines. Seems a bit if a cop-out to just lump it in with all the other Apps, especially when trying to search for titles. For example I was looking for a photography magazine. If you do a search for 'photography' you get a load of photography Apps come up. Scroll through half a dozen pages & you might stumble across a photography magazine ..... but not the one you are after. In Zino you can browse magazines by category > photography and find what you are looking for in no time. If I could delete Newsstand (as well as about 6 of the other useless iOS Apps that can't be removed ) I would.

  • HT4859 I have just restored and updated my ipad 2 with the new iOS 6 software resulting in me losing all apps and items i had saved wen i had the  version 5 software. How do i restore my files from icloud if its possible

    How do i restore my files back onto my ipad 2 from icloud. I lost all things while updating to iOS 6 software. I can see that all the items are there on my icloud but i cant see the restoring option

    Hi Taunda
    When you went through the iOS 6 set up - did you see the option to restore?
    When you go through Setup Assistant on a new iOS 5 device, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from.
    After your device restarts, your settings and accounts are restored and Backup starts downloading your purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, books, Camera Roll, and other content.
    Note: You may be prompted to enter the passwords for all accounts enabled on your device. You may also be prompted to enter the password for for any iTunes, iBookstore and App Store accounts for which iCloud Backup is attempting to restore content.
    A progress bar will appear underneath the apps that are being downloaded. To prioritize the restore of a specific app, tap its icon. Restore will attempt to download the same version of the app that you had installed previously. If that version is no longer available, the latest version of the app will be restored.

  • Can anyone advise how to close apps on iPad with new iOS? I have multiple open and cannot close them.

    Double-tap on the Home button. You will see a preview of the app above the actual icon. Slide the preview up to kill it.

  • I uploaded that new IOS 8.0 and now I cannot open my mail, Safari, or the new "TIPS" app. Does Apple have some sort of help, other than going to a store that is over 40 miles away?

    I do backup with iCloud.  I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud. 
    I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
    I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever.  Is that right?
    In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
    If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

  • After updating my IOS TO 8.1 (12B411) on 10/23/14, I went to update my blood sugar level in the IHealth app. And now after the new IOS update I'm unable to find the blood glucose option in the IHealth app. Did Apple remove it or just mess up AGAIN?

    Apple removed blood glucose until further notice. The reason behind this is that it gave a distorted picture in countries where the medical world used other measuring units. I suspect it will be available again in a future update.

  • New IOS 7 Design in apps

    After updating new IOS 7, the background colors on Notes, Calendar, Contact are impossible to look at? Is there any way to change it, or should I just look to change from ipad, iphone to Google Nexus or Samsung Galaxy? which are getting better and better.
    Thanks

    There's a lot of things I like about iOS 7 but it now needs a night mode since everything is going to a white background. I used to put my iPhone in a car mount for quick access to the display for some apps (just the display, I stop to use it). Now it is too bright at night for highway use and more of a distraction requiring the display to be turned off.

  • HT201365 Just dowloaded the new ios 7, and i can't seem to get any apps to download in the app store. It doesn't have the meter bar anymore and all it does is have a Blue circle spin and spin for over 5 or 10 min. without nothing happening! Help !!!

    Hi,
    This is how App Store app shows now when an app is downloading. If you cannot download anything, go to Settings > iTunes & App Store, remove your Apple ID, and set it again. That should work.
    Hope that helps.

  • I have an iphone 4s and have installed the new ios download and can no longer find games and other apps that i have downloaded. Where would they be or have they been wiped?

    Hi,
    don´t be worry, this would not be a problem.
    You have to take the same Aplle ID on both devices, then you can sync them via iTunes by using all universal apps on each device, create playlists, albums and all the things you need and sync it, no problem...

  • Apps are not being transferred after updating to new iOS

    I've read a few posts but nothing explicitly about this issue. I am the original account owner, same computer, iPod has worked with the same apps for over a year until I updated to the new iOS a few days ago.
    I recently updated my iPod Touch to the new iOS a few days ago; it transferred all my music, and everything else, except for my apps. I tried Store > Authorize this Computer on my desktop (which reminded me I'm still authorized, oh joy) as well as Settings > Store on my iPod. I'm not sure what I need to do next? Any suggestions would be greatly beneficial! Thanks!

    Before I updated to iOS 5.0.1, I was given 3 options "Download and Update", "Download", "Cancel" (or whatever). I chose to just download, without installing it, which would allow me to back-up all the data from my iPod to my desktop. I presume that path wasn't available if someone selected "Download and Update" immediately which informed me that it would erase all data without actually backing up before it installed. I'd have to assume at that point when your apps were re-installed after your update, it would still keep the previously saved sync data from the last time you plugged into your computer. I'm not sure if that was the case for you, but I never signed in to Game Center until now so I'm not sure how that works. This is also considering that iCloud was just introduced to mobile devices. Hope this helps :S, if not good luck! Cheers.

    Sorry. There's nothing anyone can do. The current version of the facebook app will not run on 4.2.1. The iPhone 3G won't run anything higher than 4.2.1. You're stuck.
    Maybe it's time to buy yourself a new iPod Touch.

  • HT4623 how do i close apps on the new ios 7

    how do i close apps on the new ios 7

    To close out apps, simply double click the home button and instead of holding down the app icons and clicking on the X mark in older versions, you have to swipe the app window up and away.
    Also you can save on battery by turning of background app refresh from settings, as explained in this article .... http://nyacomputing.com/how-to-close-apps-in-ios-7-and-save-on-battery/
