Butch.....What can I say? Does your wife know you are wearing her slippers?

Heyyyyyy! Those are my slippers, gotta go with function not style......
  Butch, they are quite becoming on you! Real men can wear pick and like it. :laugh:  :blush:
Charlie, I am glad you got that Ipad, its good to see you back.

Just got back from Apple store. After 30 minutes, they told me they found more than a dozen ways or functions that simply would not work on my devise. From the looks on their faces, I judged they had never seen a brand new IPad as defective as mine. I accepted a new replacement, and I'm using it in the library again. But, after 3 days of headaches from a defective tablet, I'm giving it a long rest. My wife likes the games, now that they work, so I'll let her "enjoy" it. LOL.

My apologies for coming down with  the "negative attitude bug". It can be worse than the flu if you don't catch it in time
Anyway, my "new" new iPad is working fine, and I thank you all, esp. you, Butch, for your help!

[Hoss]

Glad they replaced it for you Charlie.

Hope your back starts feeling better Charlie. And Butch! Nice slippers!

Man, talk about Murphy's law in action. Have had a router for 2 days and the only site that cannot be downloaded by the iPad is AH.com!! I give up. LOL. No more computers for me. LOL......................

Charlie, makes no sense, i use a wireless router and i-pad for arrowheads.com.

Hi Charlie
I assume you are using Apple’s Safari browser and if you are fully updated it will probably be version 6.
Some websites have not been programmed to work with the latest versions of Safari and you may find a few that don’t work with version 5.1 or beyond. This gradually gets addressed after each new Apple software update but I think it’s only the website admin folk who can make that happen. As per my advice in the thread about Java, this is another good reason for not automatically accepting every new version of software that pops up. I would recommend the updates are set to “manual” so you get notified when a new version is available but choose when you want to install it. Wait a few months each time.
This is not just an iPad issue. Anyone running Safari on a PC will probably have the same problem.
If Andrew sees this, he will probably know straight-off if this is the problem and whether there is a workaround.

Charlie I am so sorry you are having to deal with all this. I am just throwing this all out for something to check on. Literally out of the box from Walmart I had nothing but trouble with the router I bought a couple months ago. It was a Netgear N type and did not function properly until I downloaded the updates.
You can use your desk top to update it updates the router not your pc.

  My software is 6.0.2  no problems.......

I would check both Charlie. I mean it did work for you from the library. so why not at home.

[CMD]

It's working fine now. Very fast as well. Could not get it to work at the library on Sunday either.  For the past hour or so, it's been loading this site very fast. Sorry to bug everyone, I"ll just keep my fingers crossed.  Thanks for the knowledge shared.

Charlie, add file works for me on the i pad mini

Touch add file text
Touch the box
You get a pop up "take photo/add existing photo"
Touch add existing photo
Touch photo stream
Select photo
Touch use
Move cursor to new line in the text body
Touch insert (file appears in text line)
I  usually zoom  in so I don't "fat finger" and touch Submit
wait, it happens

  One question, Butch. Although I now know how to add photos, I find that, even touching softly, which I know is a must, I still have to touch "add file" and the empty box to the left anywhere from 10-25 times before the screen appears that allows me to "choose existing photos" I always start thinking I won't get it this time, but if I keep trying and trying, eventually it works. I've tried touching with varying degrees of finger pressure to no avail. Done with a gentle touch, still takes 10-25 attempts. I gotta be doing something wrong? First you touch "add file", then you touch the blank rectangle to the left?

[Butch Wilson]

Charlie, I have the i-pad mini, the box and add file are very small targets. Sometimes it helps to zoom in to touch the riight area. The only problem I have had is when I submit. Same thing it helps to zoom in and make it a larger target.

[CMD]

Thanks, Butch.  Yes, I enlarge to be sure to hit the target.  Just need to do it many times, as said. It's not the iPad, it may be me, but at this point, I don't think so.  I'm touching with the right degree of touch, so to speak.  I notice on other forums, where you can click on an icon to upload photos, the iPad "select existing photos", pops right up.  Very easy.  I'll add a photo here and see how long it takes.  I'll make it interesting- a photo of Civil War Union General Ambrose Burnside, he of Burnside Bridge, Antietam infamy.  And he who gave us the word "sideburns", though I'd say he was in mutton chops phase for this photo

Just 2 tries, must be me, I'll get it down!
