iPad Tips for Seniors: 7 Clever iPad Tips!

[@irvinson4026]

I like these not-too-hurried videos. a lot of the "younger ones" rush through their tutorials, talking a thousand words per minute, and i find myself replaying the video to rehear what was said. Thank you for taking your time through these. 😊

[@RichBowlin]

I do try to pace these videos sp they're not too hard to follow. Hope the video helped a little bit.

[@malaika2940]

I know exactly what you mean! I have to reply some of them several times , but never with Rich - he takes the time to explain clearly and concisely without being patronising. Greatly appreciated!

[@johnurban7333]

You can slow videos down in the upper right hand corner of the video. I normally speed them up because they talk slow to make their videos longer

[@celesterosales8976]

Yes! Great comment!

[@krestinereed2227]

You can also open transcript and either follow along or just glance over when you need to. However, the transcript dialog box does use some display space, so can’t use full screen mode for video.

[@conradnelson5283]

I’ve had an iPad forever and still don’t know how to work most of it. But you’re helping me learn.

The turn website into an app hint is fabulous. I sew, and often find incredible ideas while working on a project and spending so much time reopening a website this solves me hours of work. thank you so very much

[@UncleWally3]

Well done. The only thing I’d suggest is, with each hint, provide a situation where the function may be useful. For me, it’s just not the iPad functionality that’s obscure, being aware of situations where the function may be used is also obscure. Thanks!

[@rhystan8254]

Thankyou. That swipe screen shot is a winner for me. I had no idea. Your hints were beautifully explained. 👍🇦🇺

[@mikemalone9896]

I am 77 and find your videos a wonderful help! I just discovered your site and subscribed. Thank you for sharing.

[@James-100]

Nice tips. I really appreciate your detailed, non-hurried approach.

[@annablock8037]

This is nice and I did learn. I would love some of the more simple ones we all probably don’t know.

[@ganymeade5151]

Thank you very much for the helpful information to get the most from expensive iPads.

[@radharcanna]

Great tips. You have a very good and clear teaching style.

[@kateannebrennan4987]

Thanks! I Your plainly explained tips are helping me to learn how to make better use of my iPad rather than just using it as a glorified iPhone and media viewer.

[@ton3353]

Thank you, very good, I am 58 and it clears things up a lot, greets from the netherlands

[@patphares6258]

Plain and simple…tops! ❤

[@Schatzie301]

Very good info. It should be noted, however, that not all iPads have Stage Manager. I have an iPad 9th Gen that does not. In fact, several of the tips will not work on my iPad. I didn’t realize there were so many different capabilities between iPad models and versions.

[@welfordxxx]

I have an iPad mini and can’t get stage manager. Shame.

[@pamelalalaable]

I came on to say the same thing. I’ve never heard of stage manager and have no idea what it does.

[@sharonludwig1130]

It would be helpful to know what iPad you are using. My older iPad doesn’t have many of these features

[@Kim-SCUSA]

A lot of features come when updates are downloaded.

[@remington6363]

How do you get updates

[@Kim-SCUSA]

@@remington6363 Settings, General, Software Update. Turn on automatic updates to receive push notifications for updates.

[@jeannefoster5594]

@@remington6363settings, general, updates. If one is available you can instruct it to do so there. Some older iPads won’t update as there’s not enough memory or Apple isn’t supporting it anymore.

[@patrickberteaux7520]

Excellent and super simple. Love your job.

[@Linda-bq7eq]

I only have so much space left in my head. I’m afraid to branch out lest I lose some hard won prior knowledge. I’m going to keep watching you, my friend, out of my massive respect and regard for a guy like you. Keep on.

[@karengladys2011]

I love you videos ! You show us ideas on how to use our Apple devices clearly! Not talking too fast, wry understandable! Thank you for that!❤

[@RichBowlin]

You're welcome!

[@MaryDeanDotCom]

The shrinking keyboard is exactly what I needed for completing crossword puzzles. Previously, the keyboard was taking up half of the screen!

[@jeannefoster5594]

Brilliant!

[@BarryFriedman7840]

Great summary of otherwise unknown/unused features.

[@asd67lkj]

Saved to watch again later. Worth it just for the first tip..

[@charlinefisher2650]

Enjoy your videos some don’t apply since have older iPad but use what can😊

[@Alicia652]

Great tips, Rich! You are right, many of these get overlooked. Thanks for bringing them to our attention. I will have to watch this again to absorb all the details. You always give useful, time-saving tips to keep us informed and up to date on how to use our iPhones and iPads to the fullest capacity. Thanks again! ❤

[@RichBowlin]

Hi Alicia! Thanks for watching. Glad the video was helpful.

[@hazeldonner1855]

With the small keyboard you are able to slide across the keys to type. I love this feature. ❤

[@CobinRain]

Super useful…thank you so much for taking the trouble to put this on KZbin.

[@RichBowlin]

Glad it was helpful!

[@cheryls4526]

What a God send. I’ve been wanting to put a widget for a website i frequent since i got a computer. Right off the bat!!!! Apple never told me that ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@kathrynschierloh7358]

For taking a screenshot, I think it is much easier to press the power button at the top of the iPad (when it’s in vertical position) and the top volume button at the same time. This immediately creates a screenshot, which you can then slide off to the left with your finger and it ends up in your recent photos.

[@itsbluesky6645]

Thank you so much for such a wonderful video. We often just don’t take the time to find out the new Shortcuts over the years. I have an Apple Pencil that I use with my iPad. A some of the gestures that you have shown here do not seem to be working. An example could be swipe up from corners or doing a screenshot with the extra options at the top. Perhaps you be able to do another one of these videos using, an Apple Pencil? FYI - the Apple Pencil really reduces the fatigue in my hand, so I would have a hard time without it.

[@s-c..]

That full page screenshot info was fantastic! Thanks from a Gen Xer : )

[@DavidChadderton-g7d]

Sorry, Stage Manager is not on my steam-powered iPad. Needs a Pro or Air. It’s called Split View on my iPad. This works. Thanks for the prompting.

[@janfusco80]

Thank you so much for all your information. I’m 76 and had to get a new IPad. I went from 5th gen to 10th gen and was told it’s just like your smartphone. Well, I don’t have a smartphone. I learned so much in this short video. One question. I have a couple albums in my photo app. I moved some pictures to a new album but they remain in my original album. If I try to delete them from the original album, they get removed from my new album. Any way to delete from original album and have them stay in my new album. Thank you for any help. Please continue your short videos. They are very helpful!

[@EvaderGuy]

The website bookmark app is my favorite. I already used it while I was watching your video. Thanks for a lot for the good tips.

[@MrGrut666]

Very nice info! I did not know about any of these tips. I learnt …

[@haroldkchandler]

Love these tips. Straight forward and usable 🎉

[@larrydishman105]

I finally replaced my ancient iPad air with a new generation iPad. I'm 81 and I need items like this. Thanks.

[@RichBowlin]

You're welcome. Hope the video helped a little bit.

[@doanetriggs6254]

I have had an iPad since the day they were first released. You’re RIGHT! I had no idea most of these features are available. I will be doing a deep dive into each topic and working on applying this new found knowledge! A huge thanks for making this informative and useful video.

[@RichBowlin]

Glad I could help!

[@hattiedraper1061]

Wow! Thank you. I’ve had an iPad for years but learned a lot of new stuff from this.

So cool. Thanks for the video. I'll be checking more of yours out.

[@Dan-qt7kq]

Awesome, knew half but wow so great. One I found by accident was when typing you can press space bar then it becomes like a mouse and yiu can go back anywhere on the paragraph and retype ect. Got to love learning new things.

[@dineshshah1891]

As always, you explain very nicely in a non confusing way and at an excellent pace to be able to follow .Thank you. Please keep it up. I am learning a lot.
