My name is Victor A Cohn, A.K.A. Vicvac. I am 70 years old and live in Huntington Beach, CA. I have been teaching seniors how to use Windows and access the internet since 2000. I bought my first iPad, a Model 2 a few years ago, and have been trying ever since to learn how to use it. Last year I bought a iPad 3. After learning nothing from the local Apple Store and an 8 session class at Cal State University Long Beach, I decided I would teach myself about the iPad as I had taught myself to use Windows. I am now in my 6th month of teaching seniors how to use their iPad that they were either given as a Gift, or thought it was so cool they just had to buy one. I need to join a forum as I am running into too many questions I cannot find answers to. An example is the recent loss of several contacts on my own iPhone and my iPad and my Windows computer. I sync the 3 devices using the iColud and everything was fine for about 1 month. Then last week, 3 contacts I use frequently just disappeared from all three devices. Today in class we got into the area of dictation in notes on a model 3. When I tried to enable the dictation in Settings>General>Keyboard, the line item for turning dictation on and off does not appear. I currently have the little microphone button on my iPad keyboard, but I have no way to turn it on or off. I know the line item was there in the keyboard area before, but it's not there know. I am running version 6.1.3 with a strong Wi-Fi signal and I am puzzled as to what is going on. I am hoping that being a member of this forum will help me get answers to some of my questions. Using Google as a source for answers to questions just isn't working anymore. Thanks, Vicvac, ... <snip-moderator edit>
