As a happy new iPad owner, I don’t really need my Amazon Kindle device any more, so I plan on selling it on Craigslist for whatever I can get for it. Honestly, I think that the Kindle instantly obsoleted once they released the Kindle app for the iPad, but that’s another story. My question is: how do I reset my Kindle DX so that the new owner can’t buy things against my Amazon account?
Buying any sort of modern electronics device typically includes buying a case or holder for it, and while laptops can easily go into a computer bag you might already own, just about everyone I’ve seen with an Apple iPad has opted for an iPad case too, whether it’s the black Apple case or from one of the increasing number of third parties offering a solution.
I’ve had a chance to try out a number of different iPad cases and compare them. Generally, I have my iPad in a case for protection, then mostly carry the entire unit in my computer bag or otherwise protected from the elements.
I started out with the Apple iPad Case, then switched to a Newer Technology iFolio and a Waterfield Designs iPad Smart Case, then a Macally Bookstand case and an Incase Nylon Sleeve, and have now settled on… well, read on to find the answer!
I have an iPad and a MacBook Pro and it struck me that it should be possible for me to use the iPad as a second display. Can I do that? If so, what’s the best solution that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg?
This is just weird. I’ve been using Aperture 3 on my iMac for quite a while and it’s been going great, I love this program! Problem is, I just got an iPad and want to drop some photo projects onto it from Aperture on my iMac and when I click on “Sync Photos from Aperture” I get an error about the library not being visible and previews needing to be shared? But I can’t figure out what needs to be tweaked for things to work!
A friend of mine was pretty psyched about an update to a game we both play on the iPad, a game that started out with some major bugs but has apparently fixed them in a subsequent release. When I start the game, however, it doesn’t say “there’s an update” as I would expect. How do I update my iPad apps?
Surely there must be a way to have caps lock work on my iPad? It’s crazy, every time I type in an acronym or any sort of capitalized content, I have to tap the shift key before each and every letter. Help!
As a professional photographer in the field every week, I’m curious about how the new Apple iPad works as a photo import and management tool. Can I pull photos directly off the SDcard, and if so, how do they show up on the device itself? It’d be great to preview them with clients, that’s for sure.
I’m about to throw my Apple iPhone out the window, Dave, so help me out! I bought an audio book on CD-ROM from the local used bookstore, ripped all the tracks in iTunes, then set the files to “audiobook” format. Sync’d on the iPhone, they show up as audio books, but when I go to play it, the tracks are in shuffle mode, and there’s no way to prevent it! How do I fix it??
