I have been trying to load it onto my ipadmini today. I got so far and getting repeating messages saying I am putting in incorrect password and I am not, I have tried several times and eventually changed my password, it then said that my new password did not match (which they did). then had messages saying my time had expired.I have gone back over this several times. Message said try again or cancel, so I cancelled, I have now managed to disable my ipad so not impressed and certainly not happy.

Like most things new there are bits I like and bits I don't. photos now show the date taken and the photos are bright and clear.

Icons are unnecessarily larger for apps and more 'in your face'
don't like the keyboard for Genes, but for word processing it is different and ok.

when downloading Facebook, Genes etc there used to be a large block of blue going across the screen, now it is a tiny line and difficult to spot.

I have left the password on as it doesn't bother me but may take it off later.

Pages hasn't changed.

I had a problem at first with my iMessages but OH fixed that (even though he doesn't know how he did it.

I shall stick with it in case future apps etc are not compatible with 6.

Have you tried going on iTunes with your iPad plugged in and returning to old os? it should be backed up.

Got it! :-D

Swipe down and the iPad search box appears at the top.


Edit:- swipe down at the bottom of the screen. If you swipe down at the top you get the calendar etc.

I tried that Wend but it only came up with a google search.....I want to search on iPad

To open a new search page....click on Safari....click o the + sign and a box appears along the top .....type in your search request.....click on search or enter/return

To close down open apps and programmes that when running in the background drain the battery. Double press the home on/off button and all open programmes appear. To close them, one at a time, swipe them upwards off the screen.

I prefer the previous version, this one is all too light and bright. I put a password on and took it off again in settings. I had to change the time and since changing to IOS7 I keep getting logged out of different sites which is annoying. I also changed the text to bold but doesn't it work on all screens.
