Q: Technical iPad and iPhone question

last year

I’m not sure where to ask, but maybe some of the technically savvy people here can give me a simple answer

For various reasons, including being curious with multiple interests and having to be the janitor, baker, icicle maker, I end up having way too many windows open on my iPad. I know I can bookmark them, but I won’t remember that I wanted to look at them and you think well. Why won’t she remember when her faucet is leaking? Won’t she remember look in. Her bookmarks for “how to fix your leaking faucet?” Not necessarily.

I know I could also probably email me the webpage that I want to return to, but I already have 1 million zillion emails. Is there someway to in one fell swoop Chuck all of these opened webpages into a legible file? Then I can sort through it before I fall asleep. That’s the other thing I end up, looking at stuff reading and falling asleep as I’m reading because I’m struggling with monster fatigue and I’m distracting pain and I am the only one interested in doing anything besides sitting in a chair and watching television or reading the Internet.

I thought I came across some or a query when I was shutting my iPad down something like “do you want to take all these open pages and put them into one or two pages that you can go through and you don’t have to have them eating up your devices’ memory and draining the battery?

I know that’s one heck of a sentence but that’s all I can do right now. Is there a shortcut for me or do I have to just live with my 38 webpages open or close them all down and hope I remember or cut and paste each URL to a list in my notes file?

Thanks. And if you don’t know what I am talking about I’ll try again but right now I’m not very comfortable and have a whole bunch of things in the air.

Are you having a medical issue 🤔

With my browser I have set up folders for various subjects (travel, recipes, gardening, decorating, etc). Then when i want to bookmark a page, it will usually fit in one of those categories. I have a pretty long list (including a few sub folders) but it need not be long to start.

The icon for bookmarks is in the upper left corner of the browser page on my ipad or laptop. you can go into the edit function (down at the bottom) and add or delete a bookmark subject.

Then when you have a page open that you want to bookmark, use the pulldown in the upper right (mine is a square box with an arrow at the top), scroll down to ‘add bookmark’ and select where you want to ’file’ your page.

I hope these instructions make sense and fit your browser situation.

MASTER GARDENERS PLANT SALE & OTHER EVENTS AT THE BOTANICAL CENTER APRIL 30, 2011 News release, by Jeanne Duffey "It's how I started my garden when I moved here 12 years ago," said Barbara St. Clair. Now president of the Master Gardeners of Greene County, St. Clair is enthusiastic about the group's annual plant sale to be held on Saturday, April 30, at the Springfield-Greene County Botanical Center, 2400 S. Scenic Ave. Many of the hundreds of perennials and vegetables for sale are Master Gardener-grown plants gathered from the Xeriscape Garden on National Avenue and the Demonstration Garden at Nathanael Greene/Close Memorial Park. "These are successful plants, plants that our volunteer gardeners have thinned or divided from these two gardens," said St. Clair. Proceeds from the sale, chaired by Christy Jenkins and Mary Brown, benefit both public gardens. Beginning at 7:30 a.m. rain or shine, the event attracts thousands of area gardeners. "People line up at the gates at 6:30 in the morning to get the best selection," said St. Clair. "Quantities are limited and we close down when we run out of plants. Most plants are priced from $2 to $5, and some extraordinary specimens are $20." In addition to perennials and vegetables, the inventory includes house plants, herbs, bulbs, grasses, vines, ground covers, shrubs and trees, potted up and donated from Master Gardener gardens. "Just a few days ago, I saw some beautiful variegated Solomon's Seal, a wonderful shade plant, potted up, and some Japanese anemone, an essential in a home garden that blooms in the heat of August," said St. Clair. For more information about the plant sale, call the Master Gardener Hotline at 417.881.8909. After the sale at 11 a.m., the newly created Lois K. Boswell Memorial Library and the Robin Coulter Crabb-created stained glass in the Botanical Center atrium will be dedicated. The browsing and reference library is named in memory and honor of the mother of Friends of the Garden charter member Susan Boswell. Master Gardeners is one of several nonprofits that partner with Friends of the Garden to fulfill its mission of inspiring the discovery, understanding and appreciation of nature by creating and maintaining the more than two dozen botanical gardens that dot the countryside of the 114-acre public park and arboretum in southwest Springfield. Tax-deductible $25 annual memberships and contributions to the Friends of the Garden Growth and Maintenance Fund can be sent to P.O. Box 8566, Springfield, Missouri 65801. For more information, access FriendsoftheGarden.org, or call 417.891.1650. Here is a link that might be useful: Learn More About the Botanical Center & Gardens

RF (radio frequency) goes through walls, IR (infrared) does not. I've had very little luck with RF remotes working well, when they do work, it tends to be delayed. For TVs, especially flat screens, I would suggest running an HDMI cable (in wall rated) and Cat5e from the TV location to a "homerun" spot. Either a closet or cabinet or utility room where the Coax from either Cable or Sattelite is located. Simple IR eyes (at the TV) and repeaters (in the homerun location) allow the IR remote to change channels rooms away. HDMI carries audio and video reliably and in one cable. Firefold.com is a good source for reasonably priced good quality in wall rated HDMI cables. Over 50 ft will require a repeater for the HDMI, there are wall plate repeaters to boost signal (HDMI has a power cable in it) that are reasonably priced. For Audio: Wallplates require one or two Cat5e cables, depending on the system. Volume controls are the other way to go. So in a closet, you need an Amp/Receiver. A whole house system (I have BreathAudio) can be both. Inputs like your logitech unit plug into it as a source. Then you plug the speaker wires from each room into the Amp/Receiver (if you go volume controls only, then the volume control speaker wire goes to the Amp, while the wires from speakers go to the wall mounted volume control). Then you have to control the sources and amp, either by walking up to the closet and make selections, or by RF remote or IR Repeater set up. Then you turn each room on or off with the volume control. Our last house did wall mount volume controls, and the BreathAudio was much easier to set up and use. It has built in IR repeater to control our CD Jukebox from any room. Simple Cat5e RJ45 connectors and speaker wires plug into the back of a double wall plate in the "homerun" room, and the double wall plate has a special cable to the unit. Also, our last house had the Amp/Receiver in a closet, and it continually overheated. Just a consideration. BDPECK

iAquaLink - Jandy/Zodiac iPhone Control -Finally
Q

I just set up my iAqualink. Seems to work really well and is certainly more responsive then my wireless RS on-touch. I have the intellibrite lights, and I have no problem setting/changing the colors. I do have a growing list of enhancements I'd like to see such as tracking energy consumption of the ePump and the ability to backup and store the configuration. Given the web interface, I think a more streamlined scheduling interface (drag and drop items onto a timeline) is in order. Oh, and let's get the iPhone app revised so it takes advantage of the iPads greater screen real-estate. For the technical inclined people, the iAqualink is actually based on the ioBridge platform (including the phone apps). It's nice to see Jandy/Zodiac leveraging existing technology vs trying to develop this in-house. Jeff

Kindle vs iPad vs ???
Q

I just wanted to jump in and say there are many many more great tablets out there other than the ipad and much cheaper too. I have a few and absolutely love them, I can do pretty much what I do on my pc and I have several different ereader apps on them so I can read kindle format books, I can read epub format like nook books and get ebooks from the library since they also use epub format. That way I can get my books from pretty much anywhere I am not limited to just Amazon. I have lots of free books I get from sites all over the internet. I tried my brother in laws kindle before I ever made a purchase and it just was not for me, the flash of page turns messed with me and gave me headaches. And if I was going to spend the money I wanted one that did more than just one thing. If you do searches here and at the computer help forum you will find many of us here have other tablets like the Pandigital Novel, and other Android OS tablets. I just recently bought a sylvania one which I am really enjoying. I do have one device that is strictly an ereader, it has color and it connects to wifi so I can get books directly to it, it is a Lookbook and they have had them on sale from time to time at CVS for $50 an amazing price it looks very much like the kindle and it comes with a very nice case. Do some searches here for the many many threads we have where we discuss them and the various options. I have paid under $150 for all of mine. I just can not see paying so much more for an ipad. My hairdresser was looking at my new tablet recently and said she liked it a lot better than her ipad, to me the ipad it a little large and heavy that was her complaint also. I also love the Andorid OS and all the tons of apps out there you can add to the device. I have a ton of games on mine and like I said several ereader apps, I watch youtube, videos, music, pictures, surf, post here from them, do my email. Honestly I am rarely on my desktop anymore since I can sit anywhere in the house with my tablet, and it is lighter weight than my netbook (netbook is just a small version of a notebook or laptop) Pandigital Novel eReaders LookBook a great place to see how many of the tablets are available is to check out China Grabber, I would not get any that were not at least Android 2.2 they can do a lot more stuff.There are some however that come with android 2.1 and then do an update which brings them up to 2.2 which is how my sylvania was. Android 2.2 Froyo Tablets here are some that have Android 3.0 which is the most recent versions android 3.0 tablets" So don't think just ipad if you do you are really limiting yourself. These little tablets pack a big punch and can do a LOT of stuff. AND none of the tablets I have use a cell phone connection so there is absolutely NO monthly charges involved, they connect to wifi easily and you can do all your internet stuff that way. I found one of the topics we had here recently you can check out, there are many more if you search lookbook ereader & sylvania tablet at CVS this week If you keep watch at CVS it goes on sale for $50 Shift3 LOOKBOOK Wireless Reader In fact I am just now looking at the current CVS flier on their website and the same sylvania touch screen tablet I have and love is on sale right now for $99.99 it is on page 6 of the flier. On sale through Oct 8! If you want to try out a tablet this is a great way to give it a shot and not spend a ton of money. They sell out fast and I had to call several stores to find them available. Hey you can always return it... http://www.cvs.com/CVSApp/user/home/home.jsp Here is a link that might be useful: cvs

I think she's having a man issue. Sorry I can't help with the ipad,..I email things like this with links to myself, then make a folder for them all to go into. I do that mostly with recipes and emailed receipts. You can then look into that folder at your leisure.

Thanks, folks. I am having lots of issues. Iam also losing my hair. Super gone, v v thin.

Outside, what you illuminated makes a lot of sense. I do use those menus and options. I have too many irons in the fire per force, and with only a few interest irons. Luxury, I guess.

Some of the bookmark options are not clear to me. I know how to make stcked folders and how to edit (although I wish Apple would let

me have a wider area to edit bookmarks.

See the option I circled? ”Add bookmarks for 67 tabs”

Do you know what this means? I would hate to just try it ;) Maybe I wouldn't like the outcome. But I would love it if that little option would file things away and remind me where I put them and why I even had the page open… Maybe stop by and clean my house, the refrigerator.

I

Maybe that option would clean up my desktop and the house. The house is very messy because, I am the only person who knows how to pick up, put things away and clean — clean like wash counters and refrigerators. DH does some cleaning and can run a dishwasher. I think part of his thinking or personality is off. Maybe cog defs or depression or a couple of Q-tips went in too far.

I’d like to think that if one of those pesky Commie drones crashed through the roof, he would not just ask me what was for dinner. Two weeks ago someone brought a limping hippopotamus with them and it fell over and died in the living room, oozing purple goo and stinking. I bet it’s still there. I’ll check as soon as I wash the dishes, finish cleaning the fridge, replace the Insinkerator, vacuum, repair the gas generator he left fuel in for two years (instead of running the gas dry so that the carburetor doesn’t gunk up).

DH knows how to do a lot of things. But, something is stopping him. I sometimes feel that I am pushing rain uphill. I tried to communicate this to his doctor, but maybe I got taken as one of those troublesome housewives.

Another post, another day, and topic, but things have a ways of growing concatenated, tangled. (“The pump don’t work cuz the vandal stole the handle.”)

Well, I just remembered that I can search bookmarks. I can always just buy another device. /s

...or you could add them to your reading list, but they wouldn't be organized there.

I don't use an iPad, but I do have an iPod and a Mac desktop - Apple generally makes things easy.

Why not bookmark? Can't you change the names of the bookmarks to make it easier to identify them? I know I can on my desktop.

Of course you could do this one by one, rather than en masse.

On my desktop, I can create folders for bookmarked links and label them just like I would actual file folders - i.e. Cooking, Gardening, Home, etc..

And yes, you can search your bookmarks to find the one you want without having to parse through each and every one to find what you're looking for.

Is Chrome on iPads? It will sync across all devices.
