I'm unsure about the new look. I thought I'd hate it, but having seen it on an "early adopter" it wasn't as bad as I thought and the icons are ok although they may change in time.

All in all I like the improvements and they outweigh the new look especially if you run an Apple ecosystem. I do sometimes wonder if people are getting the best of their iDevices if they don't.

Of course part of not liking the new look may be just because it is new. Here Apple are damned. People complained because they were "bored" of the look (I confess I didn't give it a thought, I just used it) and people are complaining because it has changed.

I agree that Calender and Notes are bright because of their white background, but that is an easy fix on an update, if it is believed to be a problem by introducing a colour background again..

Mind you I generally have the brightness turned down anyway, and as a previous poster has said I rarely use them opting for ToDo and Evernote in their place .

I, initially had a battery issue and could see it daring before my eyes. I read somewhere that turning on airplane mode, powering down, restarting and then turning Airplane mode off helps.

Seems crazy, but I did it and no mote battery drain. I've been reading the IOS manual and fiddling with settings, then reading DS for the last couple of hours (or more) and the battery has only gone from 82% to 67% which is about what I would expect. Mind you it is doing a lot of background stuff, which I don't switch off - it's that Apple ecosystem again,

Okay, I'll give that a go. Reporting back from earlier in this thread, turning off as much as possible resulted in an overnight drain of 4% as opposed to 6%, so I'm hoping the fix you found works for me, too.

I have the latest Ipad,and have downloaded iOS 7. Where do I now find my web browsing history?

On an iPad at the top of the screen to the immediate right of the unified search box there is a stylised picture of a book. Tap that and you'll get presented with a list - favourites, history, bookmarks - it's the second one down.

Next question - how do I get a blank page up in Safari without having to resort to going to favourites and then google? Used to be so easy with a little 'new page' button on the left now I can see no easy way of doing it!

Help

Press the large + symbol in the top right.

I have downloaded the new ios7 for my ipad and find that when I want to copy part of an email I can no longer paste it into another app which is pretty irritating! Also how can I quickly search for apps, this feature seems to be well hidden!

Swipe one finger downwards on the home screen. If you swipe from the very top it will reveal the notifications dialogue but if you swipe from about the half way point it will reveal the search dialogue.

Thanks for that.

Copying and pasting seems OK here.

Just select the text you want to copy. (Hold, Drag Handles round text, Tap Copy). Then open whatever app, hold and tap Paste.

Is there a way of switching between apps like it was on ios6?

If you have multi tasking gestures switched on, a four finger swipe, left or right should do it. You don't need to twist your hand just rest your fingers on the screen naturally, then swipe.

Must be missing a trick here. My 'book' shows BOOKMARKS READING LIST and SHARED LINKS. No history.

IMessage not working on Ipad since IOS7 download. Working fine on Iphone.

Tried to send a message but it won't deliver it.

Annoying is when you scroll up towards the bottom off the screen you more often than not bring up the volume menu thing.

By George it works!

The posting from Dan Sette, informing that power drain could be curbed by turning on airplane mode, powering down, restarting and then turning Airplane mode off again, does the trick.

At 10pm last night my iPad4 was charged to 100%, and 9 hours of stand-by later, this had dropped to 99%, not perfect but near as damn it.

My iPad 3 - I was 93% at 8 am have just looked at e-mails during the day and one or two calculations on the Calculater App. and I'm still 93%.
Perhaps the calibration is up the spout.

Maybe. All I can really add is that my second try at charging to 100% then leaving the iPad4 overnight in stand-by resulted in 100% charge remaining 9.5 hours later! Just like it used to be with IOS6.

So hopefully your device will also 'get used' to IOS7.

I have just downloaded it and hate it

I hate the icons at the top
I hate the look of the keypad
It is all so ........boring and " beige" looking, actually it's fifty shades of gray
I want my old
settings back

I didn't like the way they have messed about with it. The newsstand looks horrible on it.

No worries, why not do what the rest of us do and dump the horrible looking icons/apps into a Forget folder, then find better ones in the App Store. Sorted.

The new 'look' has grown on me surprisingly quickly, the sluggish keyboard issue is barely noticeable.

My video files are still a mess with iCloud mixed in with downloaded files and duplication of TV series as separate files, with as I say both iCloud and stored content not separate, plus at least one video I am certain was stored has gone to iCloud in both duplicated folders.

I am still not sure about

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Apple strike again.

Having 'cured' the battery drain problem mentioned earlier in this thread, a small update to IOS 7 has set things back to square one!

I'm now seeing a 7% drain from 100% overnight (approx 8 hours), which is not good enough. Tried the trick with Airplane Mode, and this time it doesn't work.

So, has anyone else encountered this, and better yet, found a fix?

Since the new software download I'm having to log into sites every time, Digital Spy included. What has changed,as I never had to before.

Is Passcode Lock enabled? I find if it isn't it won't store passwords.

I've turned my iPad 4 off for now and it's going to sit in the drawer until Apple release an incremental update that irons out some of the bugs... I've had enough of lag!
