No, that is in IOS4 as well but I think you need to enable it undwer settings/general/accessibility I think.

News stand don't really boil my blood tbh,

many publications app's have an icon, and you can folder like programs, so it seems a bit of harmless/pointless nonsense to me

Thanks for the tips. Due to this thread I moved my browser folder and my books folders to my tray. Really clears up my screen.

You will find them in the Videos app

I've just discovered that when browsing in Safari, if you hold your finger over the arrow that takes you back a page, a drop down list of the browsing history of that tab appears for quick navigation to a page you looked at before. It also works for going forward.

Excellent thanks!

Just found another thing out. It was annoying me that when entering info in my contacts, there wasn't a space for a home number to go. If you touch and hold the bit where it says eg, iPhone, a new menu appears where you can choose from lots of other descriptions including home. Each of the data entry headings can be touched to reveal other choices.

Allows you to add custom names, handy if you deal with a lot of people at one firm to have their name along side their ddi or mobil number.

Yes

OK - thanks for your question. The trick with moving music from your PC in iTunes to the iPad is that, contrary to common sense, it doesn't end up in iTunes on the iPad but rather in the iPod app on the iPad. Similarly movies that you move from your PC to the iPad end up in the Videos app on the iPad.

Regarding your question on the Calendar, the iPad has a native Calendar app on the Home screen, you should see it there with the other native apps, such as Games, YouTube, Safari, Settings etc. If you can't see it - and we've heard of cases where it 'disappears' then you might want to perform the 'fix all problems with the iPad' cure and turn your iPad completely off...

Press *and hold* the Power button. After a couple of seconds a slider control will appear asking you to confirm that you really want to switch the iPad off (this is all you’ll be doing). Slide the control to accept. A rotating white ‘bezel’ will appear in the iPad screen as the iPad powers down (it takes a few seconds, just like it would if you were shutting down your PC). When the screen of the iPad has gone completely blank, press *and hold* the Power button for a couple of seconds until the white Apple logo appears and the iPad starts to power up. This takes several seconds, so be patient. During the power up the automatic screen orientation function is disabled, so don’t panic. A few seconds before the power up is complete, the iPad plays a little ‘jingle’ and then you’re back to the Home screen. Restart the iPad’s app and see if the problem persists. Apple (and Forum members) recommend that you power down your iPad at least once a week, just as you might regularly completely switch off your PC. The normal procedure of just briefly pressing the Power button of the iPad merely puts it to ‘sleep’. Most Forum members have found that one of the two methods I’ve mentioned here cure a whole bunch of unexplained problems and are an easy first step to resolving most anything that happens on the iPad.

Hello Tim,how to delete photos from the camera roll,I read the manual it says tap edit and then tap -,but iam not getting the symbol (-) to tap plz help

Hit the garbage can symbol, not edit, to delete from camera roll if you have a photo open. If you have thumbnails open, hit the curly arrow symbol, then check off all the photos you want to delete, then hit the delete button.
