KK, my dad does this on his iPod, will ask if he knows how to do in iPad but pretty sure there is an option you can tick to tell iTunes not to compress any Audio...

Kk try aceplayer on iTunes. It's free at the moment. Plays all video and audio via streaming or downloaded to the iPad. Also check out google chrome for ios. I'm using it now! Excellent! Especially the syncd bookmarks!

Thans Lacehim I am posting this on Chrome for iPad And have also downloaded Aceplayer - they say it's full featured and free for several days So I suppose I can give it a go KK

I just found a feature in my iPad by mistake The keyboard can be split in half I found out when I picked it up and slipped from my hand OK this is how it's done Use the thumbs and bring them together at the letters G & H then swipe them both to he outside To return the keyboard to normal just slide your thumbs back to he middle again at G & H KK

I wonder what that is for? I don't find it any easier to type. Good trick nontheless.

Another I found recently and really like is the double tap on home button or multi finger upward swipe from bottom of screen to display taskbar so you can switch or close apps

Another update and most users may already know of this feature If one wants to do a screen capture on IPad, iPhone, ect it's very simple It works on a two button principle Press the On/Off button simultaneously with the sleep button and a screen capture is taken and stored on your camera roll KK

KK, I guess you mean the "home" button and the power off button. 🙂 Yes I used that trick for my website www.myyoungones.net Also did you know that on the Safari keyboard if you press and hold the .com button a pop appears with common endings to select, like .au 🙂 Loads of hidden little tweaks on these phones/ipads that we know nothing about!

A quick update In the past one could not upload a photo from iPad ( stored in the photo app ) to a forum like Crema Recent OSI updates one only this morning OS 6.3 seems to have activated access from browsers via the upload section in Crema forum The browsers I have seen access allowed is Safari and Mercury Pro ( others may also be OK ) Now this is a test trial photo upload using the feature outlined above [attach=1] KK

Testing multiple photo upload as the above post was a success [attach=1] [attach=2] [attach=3] [attach=4] KK

Thanks for the tip KK, I missed this feature, and I'm glad it's now implemented. The idevices just get better and better. 🙂 I've skipped a few updates so I'll give this one a go. PS, it's iOS 😉

I was previously struggling to post an 'award' on the "Show me your best god-shot" thread, which is basically a picture on my iPad camera roll, (saved from web)... But those last couple of awards were pics posted straight from my camera roll (photo album) via the link on the thread post page... I just figured I stumbled across the right sequence, I didn't realise it was an iOS upgrade... :curious Nonetheless, pic links can certainly be posted with an iPad (2) via Tapatalk...

As an aside I just got my iPhone 5 a couple of weeks ago and the charger failed so I was in the Carindale Apple shop today to replace it and took the opportunity to have a good play on the Mini-iPad. I have the iPad 2 and the Mini's screen is better and clearer and nicer and so shiny and glossy... I want one! :cry Talk about a boys toy shop... B&O Portable speaker docks.... $800-, $1,200, $1,500-... Take your pick... Headphones by Bowers & Wilkens that just float you away to another dimension... Wow, WOW, WOW!.... First visit and I was shell shocked, a simply stunning array of don't need- but must have- gizmos and gadgets... What a buzz! I highly recommend a visit... Just don't blame me for the flogging your credit cards gonna get....

Ol Grumpy We went to the Carindale Apple store and walked out with an Apple Mini - A gift for the future son inlaw With regards to photo uploads direct to a forum In the past one had to link via online storage sites like photo bucket or use apps like Tapatalk Tapatalk is still great for phones because the screen is small but on an iPad, it's vewing screen is like a small computer so direct uploads to forums should have been mandatory fom the start Anyway I am glad that its been implemented making an already great product to a fantastic one KK

On this issue of Wi-Fi/3G version... I prefer to use the Wi-fi- period. BUT I use the iPad on site for taking photos in reports, defects, supplier orders, looking up say a toilet offset on a manufacturers website, a product photo to show a client, etc, etc etc and shortly Full multi - page quotes including photos and a before/after sketch diagrams.. (A subscription app called FormMobi). I get a much higher response rate to my quotes- the quicker they are delivered and for that reason alone the ability to turn on "data" and flick off an email or ten instantly is worth its weight in gold. I wouldn't have a device without either Wi-fi or 3/4G period. For my application 3G what makes the iPad so much more flexible and valuable.

@KK Ha, ha, it's very hard to leave that store without just one new 'toy'... Be careful now.... I predict a case of iPad Mini Envy might just overcome you... That little beauty is very alluring and desirable.... I've found the iPad to be 'Brilliant' and somehow that Mini is just 'better'...
