If you don't have wifi the best you could do is do it threw iTunes. For iCloud wifi is required to make the changes rapidly between the devices, but it can't happen if you have no wifi which basically means no connection between the them On Jun 18, 2014, at 12:25 PM, Don Cher

Simple games for a friend who is going into hospital

Hi, I am asking this question for a friend. She recently got an iPad mini and is going into hospital to have some surgery and is looking for some simple games to play while she’s in there recovering. I could think of zany touch, silent space, but after that couldn’t think of any others.

What I do is type in the letters, wait a couple of seconds (or less) for them to be translated, and then type in the numbers. You could also turn contractions off for at least part of the typing. HTH, Haya Simkin guide dog Pammy Sent from my iPhone On 16 Jun 2014, at 04:22, Johnna Simmons

Hmm, tough one. If you are willing to pay, you can get a 5 or 5C for cheap or free, or a 5S for relatively cheap if you find a sale. Yes, that locks you into a two-yearcontract, which you said you hoped to avoid, but that will be true of any phone. Carriers may or may not support pre-paid cards

I doubt that it was real Scot. Anybody who would willingly write anything like that and actually have the guts to send it certainly would know that their days at that job would be numbered and it's not like jobs are a dime a dozen. I think it more likely it's somebody's sick idea of a joke.

I've had no problems with the latest version at all. They added the ability to play audible books from within the Kindle app if you have both the Kindle and Audible copies. But, I've noticed no difference in using VoiceOver. Richard Common sense is in spite of, not as the result of education. -

Sounds good. The 4s is probably a good phone to start with. But if it's like last year Apple will stop selling the 4s and make the 5c probably as an entry level iPhone either free on a two year contract or unlocked at a price tag say between $300 and $400. But if you still want the 4s then the
