What's new

TIPS AND TRICKS - for those of us who don't know!

I second Gab with that newsstand. I have free Guardian newspapers for 6 months and Wired magazine. I haven't actively looked for freebies but will in the future.

This is a new one on me but you can hide that annoying Newstand icon in a folder by way of a small bug. It involved creating a new folder with 2 apps and the instant you have done this, you need to drag the Newstand icon down into this folder too. This is stock IOS 5, not a jail break. See the screenshot from my iPhone:

I've tried this and cannot get it to work. Is there a knack to I, or does the folder need to have two specific apps in it, or is there anything I'm missing! Thanks.
 
While in safari and you zoom even slightly the page, a guide line is displayed while scrolling.

To search text from within a page tab on search engine (near the address bar) the keyboard will open with a find on this page option.

Make sure newsstand is the 3rd app on the row then drag the 2nd app on top of the first app to create a folder. The instant you have done this, drag the Newstand icon onto this folder and between the 2 apps within it and release. You need to be quick when dragging the newsstand icon so may take a few attempts - if you don't manage it, you will need to empty and remove the folder and try again.

After new iOS update, I seem to be having some trouble with low volume even though turned up to max. Music icon volume is fine but now Netflix movies and anything that I try to listen to from a website seems low. I tried plugging in earphones but that made it worse. Any ideas?
 
This is just a guess here, but...

Try looking in your Settings app, under Music. Maybe you've got the Volume Limit locked to a lower volume? Try either turning it up higher or unlocking it.

That's the only thing I can think of. Oh, and maybe try a reset or a restart if the above didn't help? Sorry, but I'm out of ideas...

Is there any ways you can drag folder, delete entire folder, delete multiple apps together and close multiple open apps together in ios5 but I am on ios4 jb with cydia

It works. You need to be fast. I spent a few trials before having it done. Thanks.
 
Hi all.
recently i was asked to give a presentation on Ipad2 use for business. This came about because i bought my personal one to work and then work provided some of the GM's with one and they thought i had a good grasp on it's use. Well i did, until i went through this thread and realised all I did not know
I have just finished reading all 50 pages of this thread because i thought I could use some of the tips posted here, and i have.
There is an enormous wealth of information on this thread and we are all fortunate to have access to this.
So i wanted to thank everyone who has posted on this thread for making my job easier and providing me with a great deal of information that otherwise me and my colleagues would not have known. it has given us all greater use and benefit from using the Ipad 2 at work.
Good job everyone...keep it up.
Thank you all.
 
Great! Any chance of remuneration lol!

Joking aside, this type of thread is often better than cram reading 'how to' books.

apart from being free, simply because many posters having had even a minor issue, and found the work around put it in here.
 
Recent posts are listing the huge value of the new Newstand icon (folder). If you don't want to see it on the main page, move it to the last open page. That way you won't have to look at it (since that appears to be your irritation point). It is built-in to iOS5 so you can't remove it. But, those that use subscription magazine think it is fabulous.

Please don't presume to speak for others. I have subscriptions and don't want them going to Newsstand. Others have posted likewise.
