Tipex Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 I've come to the conclusion that a 16GB iPad is just stupid. I tried to update my mums last night, absolutely no chance, she's got 2.5 GB of photos and videos on it which she won't delete (all of the grandchildren), and a few apps. I player takes 1.5GB, many other apps are approaching 1GB, and given the usable memory is actually only around 15GB, that doesn't leave much. The latest firmware update requires 7.5GB of space to update, utterly ridiculous. Try explaining that to someone who doesn't 'do' computers and finds them all a faff anyway. 'you need to delete everything' 'I'm not deleting my pictures' 'Then you can't upgrade the firmware' 'I don't care' 'But if you did you'd be able to store them all in the cloud instead' 'I can't be bothered with all that' 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 You can plug it in to laptop/computer and it'll update (May have had a very similar convo with my mum ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 Yeah but that would have involved downloading iTunes, then having to explain how that all works. I thought it better to just give up until I have around 6 hours to spare! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booster Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 Since I updated to 8.1, the predictive text box that appeared above the keyboard when typing a text has gone. I had just got used to it! Anyone know how to turn it back on? Had a look through Settings but couldn't find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 I still have it, there is a tiny little line above the keyboard, slide it up and it should reappear, it's very fiddly though, especially if you have large fingers like I do!
