HOW do I add new names to my list of contacts on my very old (without a camera) iPad? Do I need to download a special app to do that? FWIMBW ...my email account is [email protected]. Thanks. ... barb

It's been so long since I've had iOS 5 that I had too look up the details Though it hasn't changed a lot in principle, the interface looks very different.

Look for the + icon below the list of contacts. Tap it to create a new contact.
