I haven't had mine long so still a lot to learn. I really like it for taking notes which I discovered at the Houston quilt show and I didn't have any paper or pen with me but had my i-Pad since I had been taking pictures with it. The calendar is pretty cool and I sat one night and put a bunch of stuff on it but now can't figure out how to add more. LOL I haven't tried facetime but it works well for skype. I was hoping there would be several pages on this post so I could learn about a bunch of apps. I know there is a really cool app for designing quilts but my friend was showing me before I got mine.

My husband gives technical speeches for certain computer vendors and the swag is unreal. In September he received the newest iPad and he gave it straight to me. I love it! I watch my Craftsy quilting classes on it and it's super cool to follow fantasy football with. Seems like they have an app for just about everything . Enjoy.

Like many of you I am learning and enjoying playing with my new ipad. I giggle at the way it wants to "help" with spelling sometimes. I agree about the learning curve but worth the time. I understand the calendar someone mentioned (the little plus sign in the lower right hand corner will allow you to add events) but I have no idea where the app with the tree? on it is so I can do something with pictures. I have taken pictures nothing more. Enjoy!

Mary quite, are you meaning the icon of the tree for posting pictures on QB? If so, it is at the top of the reply box where you type your message. It is the 3rd icon from the right. Other than that, no idea about tree apps! :-)

Yes, there is indeed a learning curve w/this thing. I managed to download a free solitaire game......A step in the right direction.....but it seems to do so many things according to the posts here...is there a website for iPad users to share info....I wish there was manual w/it. Oh, there is a pamphlet in the box w/Ipad, but I tell you the print is soooo very small one needs a magnifying glass to read it!!!!!!!!I guess that is cost effective.............I like the idea of transferring my kindle books to iPad.......will have to figure out how.........bye for now......

We had our beginning IPad class at Apple Store this am...wow those young people are sure smart and so very patient..there were 6 senior citizens there and the hour went so fast... we can attend more classes. We were told different instructors teach different and we should return as often as we like... My dh and I will be back for sure. check our Pandora if you like music.. free app - installed it and had lovely Christmas music today

If you go to www.apple.com/support/ipad/ the screen will show a menu on the left side that has items that are labeled ipad support and lists things like : welcome, get started, and so on. My nephew showed it to me and he put it on my screen for me. Or you could bookmark it. It does look easy to learn, but then it's always fun to learn with others at the store. Have fun. QB and my iPad rule!

Geri, if you use your built-in Safari app, select Bookmarks on the top left bar, and scroll all the way to the bottom, you will find the manual/users guide for your iPad. It is invaluable and most new iPad owners seem unaware that they have it!
