are you aware that the @ sign moves based on the type of edit field you are in? For example, if you are entering an email address the @ sign is down next to the space bar. In a standard text field I usually find it on the right where you normally find the letter k. *** character is found in how

No, I wasn't aware of that. Things seem to move around based on context. I can't figure out, for example, how to tab between, say, Apple ID and Password fields, and end up putting the wrong info in the wrong one. What Im trying to do is sync my contacts, *JUST* my contacts, be they Twitter,

My problem is that once I double-tap or split-tap to start editing in a text field, I can't get *OUT* of that text field to the next form control. The only way to do this is for me to find it on the screen and split-tap on it to move the insertion point to it. Is there an easier way? I was

Just use horizontal flicks to get out of a field. If the keyboard is in the way of the next field, find and activate the done button to close editing. The best way to get all your calendar appointments and contacts is either by syncing through iTunes, which has the added benefit of fully

Connect your iPad to your MBP using the USB data / power cable. Run iTunes and go to the iPad section. You will find several radial buttons. After the radial buttons is a scroll area that you interact with. The radial button you choose determines the information in the scroll area. Under the
