Our channel is pretty easy to navigate.
Notice in the middle of the image above there is menu: Home-Videos-Playlists, plus others. These three headings are the ones you will use the most.
Home: This screen contains introductory information.
Videos: Here you will find all of our videos.
Playlists: This screen is probably the most useful because it categorizes the videos into general topics. You can see some of the categories in the image below.
When you tap or click on a playlist, a list of the specific videos available pops up. The playlist below is labeled iPhone/iPad 101 (Basics).
The search icon helps you pinpoint which videos will answer the exact question you are asking. In the image below, I searched for Chargers (right-hand side/middle).
The first video displayed in the image above answers the question how to prepare for a power outage, especially if your iPhone is your only connection to the outside world. And…here’s the answer.
Would you like to have the answer to the other two questions in the post’s intro?
What is HDR?
Ways to use FaceTime to stay connected with family and friends?

Digitize Old Recipes–Part 2
Do you have a folder full of recipes clipped from newspapers? Are your cookbooks bulging with handwritten recipes, perhaps dating back a generation or two? Are you in the process of giving your cookbooks to Goodwill because you just google recipes now? Don’t lose those old, favorite recipes! It is relatively easy to […]
Digitize Old Recipes–Part 1
Anyone who cooks, bakes and saves recipes has a file or box of recipes that are hand-written or clipped from newspapers. Often these recipes are family favorites that have been handed down through the generations. Yes, you can find almost any recipe by googling it, but somehow the results just aren’t quite as tasty […]
I have a question. With everyone using Zoom and Facetime, does anyone know of a good tripod or stand for an iPadPro 12.9”? It’s awfully difficult to hold it upright, because my tablet slants backwards on it’s Apple Smart Keyboard which is what I use.
The weight of it seems to go against most of the other neat Selfie Sticks (with stands) that I’m seeing everywhere.
Linda,
What a great question, especially now with folks spending more time on their devices. I have a stand that goes over my knees so I can use it in a chair or if I am reading in bed. However, it wouldn’t work with a key board. My initial thought was it possible to set it on a table with books supporting the tablet? But I kept thinking…I wonder if a portable computer stand would work for you? Examples I found: https://tinyurl.com/tgd3r24 and https://tinyurl.com/rl923o8
But they are probably bigger than you want.
However, you mentioned the screen leans backward, so I then wondered if something like this might work? https://tinyurl.com/yx7oxvbk
I’ll check with Chris and Ed and see if they have any ideas.
Linda,
Just saw this stand: https://summerde.com/products/bracket?fbclid=IwAR14RojkeLYeLvqhLBT-9__ckIinya3YsPz3NApFgIY5efnEJEXmnSVLDmY
Would it work if your keyboard was detached and flat on a surface?
