    iPadOS Safari..change back to mobile version?

    After messing with the new desktop Safari layout I think I prefer the mobile version on my 9.7” iPad. It feels cluttered this way. The screen is big but not that big. I’m checking settings but I don’t see an option to change this yet. Any ideas?

    [RESOLVED] TV app is gone in iPadOS

    Anyone notice that the TV app has disappeared? I don’t mean the Apple TV remote app. I’ve Googled this and can’t find an answer. That’s a useful app.

    Will they keep making the XS?

    Hey guys, I’m still using an iPhone 6. Seeing as I won’t be able to upgrade to iOS 13, I’m considering an XS because I want a better screen and great camera. I can’t find much online about if they’ll continue to manufacture it after the new phones are released this fall. Any news about this?

    Siri and Pandora in iOS 12

    We’re supposed to be able to use Siri to start stations or playlists in Pandora with iOS 12. I’ve completely failed to make it work. I’ve tried using Siri to start a station from the lock screen, from the home screen, and within the app but no dice. A Google search hasn’t been helpful either...

    iPad News app in iOS 12

    With the update, the News app on the iPad now has a menu on the left for shortcuts to news outlets. I’d like to get rid of it but can’t figure out how. Anyone know? It takes up too much screen for my tastes.

    Pandora Premium troubles

    Hey all. Like most people, I’ve had a Pandora account for a bunch of years. My wife and I used Rhapsody/Napster for our more selective music needs and downloads. We decided to simplify and cancel the Rhapsody/Napster in order to upgrade to Pandora Premium. We were able to import playlists...

    Google Maps and offline use

    I’ve used downloaded maps traveling in Iceland and Canada. I used my iPhone in airplane mode and it all worked pretty slick. I didn’t have an international plan. If I download a map here in the states, will the app use cellular data for maps? I’m concerned about data use, because map apps use...

    Apple TV 4th gen FF/rewind preview box missing

    Let me describe “preview box” because I don’t know what it’s actually called. When you pause a streaming show there’s usually a small 2nd screen (preview box) that appears over a progress line at the bottom of the screen. Then you can use the touchpad to rewind or FF while the 2nd screen...

    iPad app slide over feature working differently in iOS 11

    I use the Apple TV remote app on my iPad frequently. Prior to iOS 11, while using another app (like Safari) I could slide from the right side of the screen to use the Remote app quickly. This function appears to be gone. Now I have the option to have the Remote in the dock below but, anyway...

    Longtime bug in iPad Safari app

    I'm calling it a bug when it's likely more of a design flaw. I'm pretty sure I've posted about this before but years later this still bothers me. In Safari on the iPad, when you click on a bookmark from the bookmark bar on the left...the bookmark bar does not automatically slide out of the...

    Latest iPad 128gb for $399 at Staples

    Just a PSA for those shopping. I've been wanting to buy the newest 128gb iPad which is mostly selling for $429. I found it online at Staples for $399, which I was happy about. It's not arriving at my store locally until next Wednesday so I just arranged to have it delivered to my place on the...

    Location tracked in airplane mode

    I took a trip to Iceland recently and had my iPhone 6 in airplane mode the entire trip. I had downloaded maps for offline use on the Google Maps app. I figured it would be useful for walking directions. What I did not expect was the app was tracking my location. I was not connected to wifi...

    Does turning on iCloud Music Library and downloading tracks for offline use take up space on the 5gb

    I tried to put the whole question in the thread title but here it is again: Does turning on iCloud Music Library and downloading tracks for offline use take up space on the free 5GB allotment? A little background: my fianc? and I share a Rhapsody account, which we've had for a bunch of years...

    iPad Safari Bookmarks Changes

    A little thing here that maybe I don't get: After calling up bookmarks, they won't go away until you tap on the bookmarks icon a second time. Can anyone come up with a design / functional justification that I'm not seeing? As a side note, it just looks bad. Very jerky, in terms of graphic...

    Not updating to 8. Should I update apps?

    I'm following the general advice to not update to iOS 8 on my 4s. Of course, I'm getting a ton of app updates that are optimized for iOS 8. Should I update these apps or will it cause issues if I stick with iOS 7? Thanks

    Native message "disable airplane mode" message

    At work my cell signal sucks so I put my 4S in airplane mode to save power. Of course, I can't send SMS texts but iMessage works great because the wifi is active. However, everytime I open the messaging app I get the following warning: "You must disable airplane mode to send or receive...

    Let's talk bluetooth!

    Didn't know where to put this one forum-wise. We have an iPad 4 and two iPhone 4S devices. We also have three Bluetooth devices (two car stereos and a home unit). It doesn't matter what iOS device we're using or what device we're connecting to....the auto connect is fully unreliable and...

    Safari: Google images renders differently...crashes app

    So pre-iOS 7, you could do a search on Safari for something. Let's use Megan Fox as the example. Type in her name, you get the hits. On a search like that you pretty much get a few photos from Google's Images right at the top of the hits. Click on one of the pics shown, it would go full...

    User manuals no longer in Safari

    I see in the iPhone and iPad there are no longer stock user manual bookmarks. Anyone know what the official replacement is? You can go to Apple's site for a manual but it's far less user friendly than what was in iOS 6. Am I missing something?

    iTunes Radio and iTunes Match accounts

    My GF and I both use iPhones but never mess with iTunes. We rely on Pandora and Rhapsody for everything. iTunes Radio is starting to grow on me, though. I'm considering it for a Pandora replacement. We pay $36 a year for ad free Pandora One. We share that account across all devices so, good...
