[@thatgirl626]

This is 1 year old, I’m 83. Never to old to,learn. Thank you

[@keithlast1487]

I'm56, and I am learning, too!

[@viviancline2552]

Thank you and I can understand you real well from a Senior.

[@staceyb5704]

I would like to see an in-depth video about Apple Notes. These videos aren’t just for “seniors”…for anyone who likes to learn.😅& be productive. Thanks-great videos.

[@duckbizniz663]

Very helpful suggestions on using Apple Notes on iPad.

[@KhadizahBrown-v7k]

Thank you so much for taking your time to teach us (Seasoned People) over the age of 55 how to not fear this New Technology God Bless You

[@ceafva]

I don't have a camera button to scan. I looked under camera to see if it was turned off. But there wasn't a selection/choice. Help?

[@IamYogi]

Hi Rich, you are really rich in your content creation and helping all of us. Thankyou and keep going sir

[@donaldcoder4510]

Thank you! Love your education for Seniors. I have subscribed!

[@andrewpao2742]

Thanks and your video is very helpful. Can you tell me the difference of Apple notes, and Apple pages from its design purpose to its applications? Also, I have received lots of political and commercial promotion emails and like to know how to unsubscribe them or prevent their coming? thanks. 1/4/2024

[@judithclancy8034]

Please do more with apple notes How can I find your other videos on Apple Notes?

[@MaiElizabeth]

I think the ability to organize notes into folder is what makes Apple Notes stand out from the rest stock notes apps.

[@rogeroforlando8503]

When should you scan or take a photo? So I have a receipt for a purchase, is it better to scan it or take a picture?

[@Donna-o2b]

It would be helpful when you say "tap up here" to actually show close up what you are tapping on since we can see under your finger.

[@leafnovice7492]

Thanks Rich. Your tutorials are nicely paced and really useful. Keep ‘em coming please

[@RichBowlin]

Will do. Thanks so much for watching.

[@mikeyf8195]

Thanks Rich. Your presentations are concise and very informative. I also have a Shark vacuum cleaner. Much better than the Dysons we previously had. Have a Happy New Year.🐱

[@pauljwildes]

I don’t have a menu at top of note page for pencil or to-list, etc. it’s not there and this isn’t covered. Also, my handwriting turns all to text. And, I can’t do a return for next line. Plus how do I erase and backspace. Nine of this is covered. I’m a senior and have tried to figure this out on my own. Disappointing that you’re assuming I know this as a beginner. Wrong. I’m moving along as you are not offering anything on starting. Really starting out!

[@norinemueller4588]

I have the same problem with a brand new iPad 12 pro no top menu

[@brianwallington9744]

thank you Rich very informative ,have now subscribed..thanks for all your hard work..stay safe and take care now...

[@darylcatherineholt7852]

Thank you so much!!! I need to use this very expensive ipad for something besides videos.

[@RichBowlin]

Ha! Me too!

[@joelkhwinana5612]

Hi Rich, your videos are very helpful and simple to follow. Please keep them flowing.

[@DaveWitt-m9k]

Deep dive on notes? Yes, please!

[@ronaldkinder3498]

An in depth video would be great

[@joanwhitney6063]

I appreciate your presentation! Thanks so much.

[@RichBowlin]

You're welcome. Thanks for watching!

[@gwenclark9016]

You've opened my eyes with your clear explanations. Would love a video that delves deeper into Notes. Thanks

[@RichBowlin]

Thanks! I've made a more detailed video on how I use Apple Notes. Take a look: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWaxhappn92jg6M

[@lw7436]

“Notes” seems to be different since the recent IOS update. Please confirm and, if so, please do an update to this. Thanks!

[@RichBowlin]

Yep. This is an older video and Notes has new features. Will be doing a new update video the iOS 17 comes out in a couple of weeks.

[@JaRuggierojr]

Rich, I personally would be interested in depth dive into notes, remainders and calendar . I don’t do that much typing anymore. Most of my input is done through Siri. I like your videos.

[@rogeroforlando8503]

I love NOTES. Please make a deep dive on everything in notes. Roger of Orlando

[@RonnieGreher]

Another fantastic video that keeps it simple, good pacing, plenty of detail. Keeping my iPad from getting the better of me 😀

[@RichBowlin]

Wow! Thanks for the kind words. Your description is my goal for every video. And I'm trying to get better at it. Thanks for watching!

[@nancynixon9592]

Really helpful easy to understand video on NOTES

[@RichBowlin]

Glad it helped you out. The Notes app got a lot of new features in the upcoming release of iOS1 17. I'll be updating a lot of videos! Thanks so much for watching!

[@norinemueller4588]

Thanks so much Rich love your video very to the point

[@Silva007ish]

Rich I just subscribed. What a great video. Easy, concise and informative. I am guessing that to scribble a note you have to have the pencil? I used to be able to highlight a word and now I can’t….it was where you underlined,bold or italicized..so guess I have to buy the pencil … Thanks for the info!

[@RichBowlin]

Hi Susan! Yes, you need an apple pencil for the things I did in this video. You can choose text with your finger, copy and paste it, but highlighting and scribble and such require a pencil. Thanks so much for watching!

[@Glenda22ful]

I just found your channel and I am looking forward to watching more. Thank you for being an apple resource for us seniors! I hope you can help me with my question, which is how do I free up iCloud storage? I didn’t think I was using iCloud, but I got a notice that it is nearly full. I turned it off in my settings because I don’t want to pay for more storage. Can you help or send me to a video about iCloud storage? I love this video on notes and I really want to use it. Thank you so much!

[@laurenmarlow3906]

Really enjoyed this, slow and clear. I hadn’t realised how much I could do with notes

[@RichBowlin]

Glad it helped!

[@sal4gal]

I am so grateful for your videos! I am slowly progressing through all of them and getting my apple technology organized and running smooth.

[@ProsenjeetDasgupta]

Hi Im a teacher and wish to open text book pdfs in Apple notes and teach in my physical classroom. Can you please tell me how I can do that in my ipad Air using Apple note?

[@rod1148]

Do you have any recommendation's on how to improve spell check/auto correct on Ipad? To me it's very frustrating that it makes so many errors and I'm thinking of turning it off completely. Maybe you have a video that covers this? Thank you. (BTW, I have version 9.)

[@RonnelsStampStudio]

Hi Richard, Loved your video! Thank you for a notes video that I could actually follow. I have tried to follow a few other videos, but the instructors were talking and demonstrating so fast that I would have to rewind multiple times before I could follow what button they were pressing and where they were going. Please make more in-depth videos as I really like tech, but I just need to be able to follow along at a reasonable pace.

[@RichBowlin]

So glad the video helped. Thanks for watching!

[@scomti7057]

Thank you for your informative video for seniors. Please create a video on advanced use of Notes including examples of how best to use Notes for daily use.

[@RichBowlin]

Working on it!

[@staceyb5704]

It may be useful to inform others about the Apple Pencil “grips” that are available as accessories. Some people have a difficult time with holding small items. Large items are easier to grasp/use. Ty😊

[@nicolakamp3389]

Thank you for the videos. They are great.

[@californiadreaming567]

It would be helpful to scan a full page document and show how to allign it as you said you did with your insurance document multi documents so that they are straight

[@DouglasSmith-mg5ly]

Would love deeper exploration of Notes! (You da best!) Doug in Pinehurst, NC

[@RichBowlin]

Working on deeper dive series! Thanks for watching!

[@stevebrettell6239]

I’m interested in the Apple notes deep dive.

[@sallylou6556]

my iPad OS 16.3.1 notes has all that info on the top of screen so you don’t have to go to sittings. and also has color to change text. to the left of page tap the pence will bring more question can you use pencil to type with on key board ? how do you pull up keyboard using pencils.

Hi could you please explain pinned thx learning from this video

[@eugeniagroberman5893]

Thank you so much for your help iam 82 Spanish speaking and trying to keep up with the technology that I find fascinating. happy holidays

[@RichBowlin]

Happy to help!

[@macadoodle100]

Did you know moving the note with scanned image to the files app will disassociate the text info from the pdf file?

[@nainajani7825]

I have been using iPad for over q-years , but never knew about scan or photo feature. Thx

[@audrysadventures107]

I am going to be a new user to the iPad. Your videos have the Most helpful! Thanks for doing what you do

[@RichBowlin]

Happy to help!

[@bryanmilne]

Do you have to use iCloud? How do you save to a file folder on the device? Or what if I prefer to save to a different cloud service like Google or Microsoft?

[@ClareBurke-w7p]

Thank you for your informative series. Once you have explained a certain way of using the iPad is there a way of stopping the video so as to do that aspect of the instruction then continue with the next move.

[@billycullen6832]

As always Rich superb tuition. Yes please let’s do have you Notes deep dive, Thank you! Greetings from Scotland.

[@RichBowlin]

Greetings Billy! I'm working on mapping out the deep dive videos. I think some folks will find them useful. As always, thanks for watching!

[@crawford323]

Start with folders first! What a mess. Try and move a note to a created catagory or nest it with other similar notes. Smart features? Hardly.

[@johnshepherd2666]

I just noticed you have different coloured eyes..😅😮

[@waltons-crochet]

Great instructions! I will view this again and again. Looking forward to more! Thank you for taking your time and effort to do this for us. It is so appreciated

[@jangolden2756]

Another good learning experience. Thank you Rich.

[@RichBowlin]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@NJgrandma]

Hi, Rich! Thanks for these tutorials! Question: how can I get that panel open on the left side? When I open NOTES, I get a full screen showing a list of notes I created.

[@RichBowlin]

While holding your iPad in the landscape position, you should see a small square icon in the upper left side. Tap on that and you'll get the three panels. Hope this makes sense and works for you.

[@grahamgrocott5008]

I love your videos thank so much for doing these lessons. Your iPad lessons are the best on youtube.

[@RichBowlin]

Wow! That made my day. Thanks so much for watching!

[@jamunamadhava3214]

Will you please explain how to delete in notes after I wrote over a text. Ur vedio is very helpful and very precise thanks

[@thomaspowell7685]

Keep it coming! Very helpful.

[@rogerfox5378]

My iCloud settings looks different…no green on button.

[@Drmikekuna]

Nice video. I have used Apple Notes for some time and I agree with you, it is one great app... and free. I used to keep important information in word-processing files and in an app called Good Reader, but Notes works so much better. The folder option really helps organize things.

[@RichBowlin]

Thye folders are a must for me. I'm experimenting with tags now too (iPad OS - latest version). Thanks so much for watching.

[@unruffledduck]

Thank you for making these videos

[@RichBowlin]

Glad you like them!

Where you find Apple notes and how to put on your screen.

[@annhanrahan5287]

My son says that Pages on iPad is easier than Notes. I need the easiest one as I find it overwhelming with Notes. I am hoping you will do a tutorial on Pages…..I really enjoy your tutorials. I need some basics as I am writing my memoirs. Ann from Ottaw

[@RichBowlin]

Hi Ann. You know, this is a tough one. I use Pages primarily for long written documents. But I always say do whatever works best for you. I'll have to think about this...Thanks for watching!

[@richardmckenzie1973]

Can I add a voice note? I hate taking the time to write a detailed note.

[@jamesharveyrutter205]

I’ve been watching a few videos on the notes feature on iPad.Yours is by far the best with good demonstration and a little slower tempo.

[@RichBowlin]

Wow, thanks!

[@clifbob]

You give great demos

[@simonmortiz7428]

Again Mr Bowlin Awesome video

[@DavidChadderton-g7d]

I have never used Apple Notes on any of my iPads or when I had an iPhone. Opening Notes allows endless advertisements to infect my use. All my notes are in MS OneNote which instantly works seamlessly across my iPad, Moto Android phone and Windows10 laptop, with NO ads. Sorry Apple, no sale here.

[@RichBowlin]

I think you might be thinking of another app. Apple Notes never, ever has ads of any kind. It's a completely locked down app with very strict security. It works on-device or thru iCloud but never on the broader Internet. Having said that, I love OneNote. I've used it for years. Thanks so much for watching!

[@joeschuchter5277]

Excellent, clear explanation---great for seniors

I have learnt a lot from you, Sir ! Respects 👍 please let me know : I create a folder in iCloud & name it Important Documents then I drag all my files into this Folder. However, when I search for this Folder ( Important Documents ) I do not see it and then I have to scroll down manually to actually look for it ! Files, I can search in the search box but how do I search for a Folder ? Your guidance would be highly appreciated and Thank You for your great work !

How do you put notes into a 8.5x11 page for sending to a printer?

[@RichBowlin]

You can only print an Apple Note as-is. If you wanted to format it differently, you could copy and paste the note contents into another program such as Pages. If you're just looking to print an existing note on 8.5x11 paper, just make sure that's the paper size in your printer. Then just print the note as shown in the video. Hope this helps!

[@stevenrobertson4190]

@Rich Bowlin Thanks for your video. I added the lines and grids and then went to how to create but after typing the title I pressed return. The lines were there but I then started writing with the pencil when the LINES DISAPPEARED and my hand writing was converted to typed text. My hand writing is not good enough for it to be converted to typed text so wrong words are written. Do you know what I'm doing wrong? Thank you for your attention and I look forward to your reply.

[@RichBowlin]

Hi! You need to choose the correct pencil. You've chosen the pencil with a little "A" on it. When using this pencil written text is converted to typed text. Choosing the regular pencil just lets you write down your notes. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!

[@stevenrobertson4190]

@@RichBowlin I just watched the rest of the video and it has taught me everything I need to know about Notes. I have watched many videos in the last few months about Notes and none taught me these basics that actually told me how to write and save the Notes which was the information I needed.
