Which meant resetting the whole flippin' thing and starting again. What use is a computer that can't comprehend fairly basic formulaic equations nah - Linux rules,chaps 'n' chappettes!

Re: Do you have an ipad what do you use it for.

Oh,FAR from it,Mags.
Erudition,education,natural abilities,affinities with mathematical formulae...all or any of which are as nothing,when one's faced with a non co-operative and somewhat 'my way,or the highway' item of computorial intransigence. Mayhap if Apple's executives had it explained to them in short,single-syllable words,that computorial science is a multi-disciplinary field,rather than a money-making in-house product,then this dashed machine would actually process fluidity algorythms without first demanding an ID that doesn't-and never has-existed. #sigh# I apologise,people.

Re: Do you have an ipad what do you use it for.

Pugs , sorry to hear that the app you have bought doesn’t work, ask Apple for a refund or the developers

And whilst I don’t have a clue when it comes to math equations and physics, I do understand the rest of what you say

Re: Do you have an ipad what do you use it for.

I have an iPad Air. I think it’s great!
Luckily, there was an 8 week course available locally to teach you how to use your iPad.
I attended that and learned things about my iPad, l didn’t know existed. We were also given paperwork for everything we learnt each week. I use this to refer to, at times when needed.

Re: Do you have an ipad what do you use it for.

Those courses that Apple run at their stores for learning about its products and how to use them are really worth while. I attended a couple about my MacBook and found them useful.

Re: Do you have an ipad what do you use it for.

Now,that may have beneficial effect,Ffosse-IF I didn't live on an island and if the nearest Apple Shop wasn't 46 miles away. HOWEVER,all is not lost-for last night was spent re-aligning and implanting a 7-section codec into the Apple biorythmic algorythm....ergo,that iPad has now become amenable to having Linux installed over the base o/s. It's loading atm,via a 'stand alone' HDD that I rescued form an old HP tower system,to use as a storage modem for 'in progress' equations etc,right here,right beside this Dell [which,one has to say,really has impressed me with it's speed,fluidity,and responsiveness-but that's by-the-by]....so,I'll let you know how it goes. [just don't tell Apple-they'll be less than impressed]
