iphone/ipad tips

<p>I have had an iPhone since April & while there are many things I like about it, a huge irritation was how my list of contacts had ballooned to 45,000.
I hadn’t been able to find an easy fix- despite trying, but I have found an app that for $4.99 is high but it works even though the only feature I have used so far is deleting multiple contacts.

<p>Kindle also has an update in the app store, but be warned- the update eliminates the store button from the application, so that you can not buy more books from within the Kindle app once you update.</p>

<p>Any other tips/tricks you would like to share?</p>

<p>I wish I’d gotten 3G. It seems that even when I go places that offer wi-fi, and the ipad TELLS me I’m connected to the internet via xyz network, I still can’t log onto email or safari, just get a dumb little message saying I’m not connected. GRUMBLE</p>

<p>Try this to help your iPad see wifi.</p>

<p>actually this wasn’t the one I was thinking of- I use wi-fi track, but Apple seems to have removed it from the Apple store.</p>

<p>When that happens, try the “forget this network” function, and resubmit the information. Sometimes you have to attempt to “login” on a different network for the cycle to complete.</p>

<p>Thanks, I actually HAVE that app though haven’t ever used it. But when the iPad SAYS that I’m logged into a network and then tells me I’m not I get confused. I’m a technophobe of the first order, I just heard Apple products were so amazing but I can’t figure out how to fix this.</p>

<p>Could this work for you?</p>
