iPad App Tips

If you use and iPad, did you notice any changes in the look of certain apps after upgrading to iOS 7?  Perhaps you were able to read the news site before the upgrade, but after the upgrade the text runs off the side of the page.  You have checked zoom in settings, but it is turned off.  The problem is probably due to the fact that you are using an old version of the app. The NPR app is an example of an app that changed. 

To correct the problem, search the Apple App store for the app designed for the iPad.  Download the new app and delete the old legacy one. 

Dropbox Update for the Mac - Screenshot Uploads

According to the article, Dropbox Updates with Automatic Screenshot Saving and iPhoto Importing (http://lifehacker.com/dropbox-updates-with-automatic-screenshot-saving-and-ip-1434368743), Dropbox for the Mac allows you to upload screenshots.  If that is a feature you want to have so you can share with others, go ahead and turn it on.

Not sure about others, but I have too many photos on my Mac devices.  It would take too much space that I need for work files.   For some, however, that feature may be helpful. 

Update on iOS7

After a couple of days using iOS7 - I am very pleased with the changes.  LifeHacker has an article outlining some of the new features at http://lifehacker.com/top-10-secret-features-of-ios-7-1336967278@whitsongordon

A few items not mentioned include:

• New wallpapers in the Settings menu
• New sounds in the Settings menu
• The way folders work - you can have more than one page in a folder and each page can hold 9 icons

I am  certain that there are many other changes, but I am still discovering the new ones.
