The Reading List does what now??

I thought this would be a useful new iOS 5 feature, until I realized you couldn't use it offline. Instead, I'm trying to figure out how the Add to Reading List feature in Safari is any different from bookmarks? They're even located in the same area? Just seems useless, but wanted to hear opinions on whether anyone else has found a good use for it?

I completely agree.  I thought I could add articles to it and then be able to read them on the subway when I'm underground with no internet connection.  This "feature" seems to be broken.  Why would I need to access the internet to find the article and then need to access the internet again to read it later??  It makes no sense.  Your phone or other device should be able to store the text/images assuming that you have enough available free memory space.  Apple please fix!!  Don't let things fall apart already!

  • Safari on my iPad. I have an original iPad and since updating to the latest iOS safari forces me to restart the iPad about two to three times a day. Three problems: 1. It just blacks out. 2. The reading list does not delete after the story is read. 3. Ema

    Since updating to latest iOS safari fails several times a day.
    1. Just quits.
    2. The items on the reading list will not delete after visited.
    3. The screens goes grey when I go to email a reference.
    Is the a solution other the restarting the iPad or is this something apple ought to fix?

    See if the following help.
    Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data (and Clear History)
    If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    I bought a ringtone from the store but it doesn't appear on the ringtone list? What I'm doing wrong?
    how can I set this ringtone as my default Tone?

    Bookmarks are not syncing to ONE of my Macs, but showing up on other Mac (work), iPhone 4 and iPad 1. Macs are on Mountain Lion. Tried all of Apple's suggestions - and the one Mac is still not updating/syncing Bookmarks or Reading List. What's going on? Do I have to wait to OS update? It seems lots of peolple were having issues before ML, but I as fine. Since ML, I am having all kinds of issues!

    Yeah, I literally have tried everything except deleting my iCloud account (I'm close, but that would require so many changes that it is way too painful to consider at this point).
    I am still waiting to hear back from Apple Support. Hopefully something can be done, or they can do a reset on their end.
    Thanks for taking the time to respond though, much appreciated!

  • My iPhone 5 quit ringing. I checked settings and the side switch. What now?

    My iphone5 quit ringing. I've checked settings and the side switch. What now?

    When you go to Settings > Sounds > Ringtones and tap on a ringtone, does it emit a sound then?  If so, Go to Settings > Do Not Disturb and make sure it is OFF.
    Next steps would be to back up your iPhone, then go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings.
    If the issue continues still, restore the iOS.  Last step would be to take it in for service.
    Locate a Service location (choose your country in the top right)

  • I've a new account on iMac.  When composing an email the contact list does not show up on the bar.  WWhen I start keying in a name, it comes up with the address.  How do I engage the  contact list from the email?

    I've a new account on iMac.  When composing an email the contact list does not show up on the bar, which would allow me to select the persons I want to include on the distribution of the email.  When I start keying in a name in the email, it comes up with the person's address, which shows it is synced.  How do I engage the contact list from the email like I do on my old account (where a contact list icon shows up, along with the "attach" and other icons) ?

    With the New Message window open, go to the View menu and select "Customize Toolbar...".
    In the screen that opens, drag the item labelled "Address" into the Toolbar area of the New Message window, then click the "Done" button.
    That item should be then added to the Toolbar for the New Message window.
    Note that the main Mail window and the New Message window (as well as the separate message window if you open a message that way) use different toolbars - the settings/inclusions for one do not carry over to another.

  • SocialListNotFound : The Social list does not exist in your personal site.

    In SharePoint 2013; when a person try to follow a document which is located the SkyDrive Pro of another person it pop up erros message shows as below.
    Something went wrong
    Sorry, we couldn't follow the document.
    TECHNICAL DETAILS
    SocialListNotFound : The Social list does not exist in your personal site.
    Can anyone help on this... 

    Hello all,
    I have the exact same issue.
    When a user tries to follow some document or site, the same error occurs. When I look at the personal site of the user, the "Social" list is missing.
    When I have another user do the same thing, it works! The Social list for that user is there.
    The difference between the 2 users:
    The user where the issue occurs => mysite has been upgraded from SharePoint 2010
    The user where the issue doesn't occur => mysite has been created after the upgrade to SharePoint 2013.
    So, I tried to delete the mysite of the user who had the issue and let him recreate it by visiting the MySite host and now it works!
    The thing is... I have 100 users having the same issue and a lot of them are actually using their mysite, so deleting those mysites is not really an option.
    I have 2 questions:
    1. why is that "Social" list not created when mysites are upgraded from SharePoint 2010?
    2. Can I trigger some process which fixes this for existing sites?
    Thanks,
    Bart

  • After my upgrade to iOS6, my iPhone4 lost all entries in the Reading List and Bookmarks.  I cannot add new entries.  Any thoughts on how to fix this?

    I'm not 100% positive that this is related to the iOS6 upgrade, but the timing is certainly suspicios.  Previously, I had 7 entries in Safari's readling list and many entries in the Bookmarks.  Now, I have nothing except the large pair of sunglasses and help text that tells me how to add a link to the reading list.
    When I am looking at a webpage and click on the Forward button, I'm giving all sorts of choices now in full color...  facebook... Message... Twitter... Mail... Add to homescreen.  The following buttons are all grey: Print, Copy, Bookmark, and Add to Reading List.
    I'm guessing that the icon color is a red herring.  Print and Copy, despite being grey, appear to work fine.  Bookmark and Add to Reading List have problems. 
    Adding to the Reading List makes the forwarding screen go away, as though the link was added.  When I click on the Bookmark icon and look at my reading list, it remains empty, displaying the large sunglasses and help text, as though the list has never had an entry added to it.
    Adding a Bookmark prompts me to enter the name and location.  Interestingly, the list of locations is empty.  I have a single folder with no name and a check mark next to it.  I cannot do anything else (make a new folder, for example).  Once added, when I click on the Bookmark icon to look at my bookmarks, that list remains empty of individual bookmarks.  All I have are: Reading List (still empty), History (full of expected entries), Bing (which takesme to some Bing thing).
    Any help in restoring my bookmarks and Reading List entries would be appreciated.  Thanks!

    Thanks. That solved it. I had my doubts since I wasn't concerned about my lost bookmarks. I was concerned about the broken functionality. In any event, restoring from a backup solved both the functionality and the lost bookmarks. I appreciate the response!

  • Can you reorder items in the reading list?

    Simple question
    Can you reorder items that are saved in your Safari Reading list?  For example, move some items to the top or rearrange them so the ones on the same topic or from the same website are next to each other?  I would think this would be something simple to do but I cant seem to do it.  I just see how you can show the ones youve read (which usually just means youve clicked on them) but had no luck when trying to drag to rearrange them

    Yes you can with a little forethought. Select from the Reading List the page you want at the top. You will now see this as the usual Safari view. Use the normal procedure for adding a new page to the Reading List. The desired page will now be at the top. Try this for one item. You can then organise on paper the order you want remembering that the most recent action will appear at the top. Longwinded but it works.

  • How can i get out the reading list???

    how can i get out the reading list?

    This really needs to be posted in the Safari forum but I will answer it here.
    What do you mean by get out? You want to see the list? Clicking on the pair of glasses controls the display of the list. The glasses are in the gray bookmark bar. Click once to open and click again to close the reading list.

  • How do I close the reading list in Safari?

    I opened my reading list and it is now using about 1/4 of my monitor screen.  How do I close it? 

    Exactly as dominic23 states, I followed  the step and lo and behold ... it was gone!
    First open Safari, then choose Preferences from the drop-down menu.
    Click on Bookmarks, then place check on Include Reading List -- the eyeglass icon then appears in the Bookmarks Bar at the top of the page.
    Left click on the Eyeglass icon, and the Reading List column will disappear.
    Hope this works.

  • How to get rid of websites on the reading list?

    I need help getting rid of websites on my reading list. Please help

    click on the spectacles, then hover over the links in the list. As you do that a little "x" appears in the top right.
    Click on that and it goes away. Now if you can show me how to get rid of the reading list option and stop if from collecting links I accidentally put there, that would be something. lol
