I suspect that it was probably something to do with the initial activation that it didn't like. That has now been resolved courtesy of a friend's wi-fi connection and the work of three minutes. I shall be having a go tomorrow to see if I can get it to synch with iTunes on the laptop now that it is actually activated, and am hopeful that all will be well.
Really I should probably have just given up trying about two o'clock and waiting till I dondered over there. It would, in retrospect have been a much easier strategy.

Is there a way of getting straight from the letters to the symbols section of the keyboard without going through the numbers section first?

Is there a way to change the volume of the clicks when typing? Or even mute them? Starting to drive me up the fucking wall!

Yes.
Settings.
Sounds
Keyboard clicks and then switch them off.

Haven't bothered with their wi-fi. I've used the 3G so little whilst I have been away that I have allowance to burn on my mobile data subscription, so I am just using that instead. Am thinkin about getting a separate keyboard for travelling though. I'm not a fan of the virtual keyboard. It is the lack of key feedback.

Where's the ****ing add folder to library option on the new itunes?

Post by Andy Turnbull on Feb 25, 2013 15:58:04 GMT
It's gone.
Just use Add to library, just click on the folder you want to add and it should add the contents of said folder.
Latest iTunes is fucking awful though.

Doesn't help me if the contents of the folder is a number of sub folders due to my OCD ordering system! Ended up writing a script to copy the files to one folder and synced that. Latest iTunes is fucking awful though. Andy That it is.

Wasn't for me having to add the actual files....
While we're on the subject.....
I'm trying to upload a compilation album with different artists. One problem.... when I view my albums it splits up for each artist. Anyway to get the ipad to recognise it's one album without altering the artist id3 data

That's because iTunes defaults to Artist for sorting. It's a complete pain in the arse.

In iTunes if you select the songs and tick part of a compilation it should put it into Various artists.

Right click on the file and get info and it will give you a menu. Near the bottom should be a check box for compilation.

Screams
My iPad hasn't been charging right recently.
Evidence has led me to believe the lead is faulty. Not completely broken, just a loose connection.
So I bought a replacement set of 3 off ebay. The first one refused to go in the socket. when it did go in it wouldn't charge and then fell to bits pulling it out
the second one went in a lot easier. but still wouldn't charge. and is still in one piece after removal.
Tried my original again. Plugged in, powered up and as soon as I shifted the iPad's position it went "Not Charging" GRRRRRRRRRR

They can be a bit finicky.
I'd be inclined to have a check and see if there is any dust or crap blocking the contacts and try again.
Also, I'd avoid buying replacement apple cables on ebay 99.99% are cheap crap which fall apart, same as with headphones.

Having problems with the Twitter Ipad app. When I get DM's I no longer have the wee, er, light, pop up beside the 'Me' tab on the left to let me know I have one so now I often don't know I have one unless someone tells me. I can't see how to turn the light thingy back on in settings and Twitter's help page is no use. Anyone know what the problem is? It just started randomly, not after an update.

Meanwhile after a frustrating morning of trying to get the ipad to charge I finally gave in and tried to clean the socket. Used some loo roll wrapped round the edge of a bit of card. Very reluctant to be poking anything into connectors that small. Anyway it seems to have done the trick cos when I plugged the lead back in it started charging imeadiately.
No dirt or fluff came out when I cleaned it though, and there's no obviously grubby marks on the cleaning implement so I'm not sure what it was.

I have a code for a free iOS game for Doodle Truck 2. Not sure if it will work as I picked it up from a Starbucks in Brooklyn last month so it may be region locked? Who wants it?
