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

Hi Missy no I haven't decided yet.
When my son came there was some discussion about my having his Ipad because he doesn't use it he only needs his Iphone now . It is a top of the the range Pro but I don't like accepting things. I may borrow it and see how I get on with it.

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

Grab it with both hands Meg, you will love it and if he doesn't use it, its a lot of money wasted

Accept it, he's your son, its not charity, its a son treating his mum

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

Mrs Dobra has given up in exasperation, so passed her iPad to me. First impressions are slick, but I can't print a photograph......

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

You do need a compatible printer that's true

Printers are cheap enough

I picked up a compatible one for £30 in Tesco a while back. Works lovely. Only thing I didn't check was whether it was compatible with HP's ink replacement service, it isn't


Mr Missy loves his iPad and phone. For years he struggled to get to grips with a PC and just couldn't use one, having to ask me to do everything for him. He's a whizz now. I think it's because of apps. He picks up his pad and there's an app taking him straight where he wants to go and now he can print what he likes as well he's in his element

They take quite good photos as well.

And as Missy says, accept it as a gift from your son. Would be a shame for it to go to waste when you need one.

They do indeed take good pics Gill

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

With the newer iPads you can set the photo as ‘live’. So if for instance, as you take the photo, something or someone is moving, as you view the photo, the person/thing moves for a second or so. I have Holly doing it, a seagull flying across as I snapped the sea at Dawlish, my brother and SiL moving in the Apple store.

I have that on my iPad as well Jazzi

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

That happens when I view photographs saved on The Cloud

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

I find differing uses for mine. For me, sometimes the iPhone's screen is just a bit small, and I miss not being able to use the Pencil with the phone.
