I recently replaced my iPad with a new iPad Air, and my old blu-tooth keyboard has a clumsy fit. The fit only matters when I am carrying it. But being blu-tooth, I can place my iPad on a stand either landscape or portrait mode and use the keyboard. Apple and Logitech have good-looking...

Sometimes the screen goes dark. I just need to remember to use a non-fingerprinted finger to refresh the screen (or lift the phone vertical). But I forget, and when I forget I search for the message in notifications and messages without finding it.

I tried that and it says "No Notifications".

I get a notification, put my finger on the home button, and the notification disappears. I search everywhere for that notification, but nothing makes sense. What I need to do is remember to touch the home button with a different finger, that doesn't open my phone.

Sometimes I have to restart iTunes 5-6 times, sometimes I need to reboot computer to stop getting these errors (with either my iPad or my iPhone): The iPhone ?Howard?s iPhone 6 could not be synced because the connection to the iPhone was reset. The iPhone ?Howard?s iPhone 6? cannot be synced...

For years I had a movie, "Sita Sings the Blues", which is available for free from Sita Sings the Blues. It was on iTunes and my iPad. Recently it stopped my synchronization between the two, and deleted it & I downloaded it again. I have several versions now on my Mac, the .mov, .mv4, and...

No matter how good a battery is, we will have to have a routine that keeps it from getting low when we don't want it low. Your routine works well - charge it when we sleep. If the battery lasts for a week, remembering to recharge it every Sunday is more difficult to do than charging it...

I finally had to give up keeping my phone in a my front shirt snap-shut (Western style) shirt, where it was easily accessible and safe from falling. Since both iPhone 6s & 6s Plus are too big (as even my wife's iPhone 5 in some shirts), I need to use pants pockets. I find using the back...

According to my System Preferences, "Messages" should open up hidden when I reboot. It always opens up unhidden. Any suggestions on how to resolve this?

Right now I'm happy with my iPhone 4. It fits in my shirt pocket with it snapped shut. I avoid any and all typing on it I can, and hate it when I shut it down and it asks for a bunch of passwords. But I'm tired of carrying my iPad with me everywhere I go, just to have a library of books...
