Just to add to Jackie's excellent advice swiping left to right is progressing down the screen and swiping right to left is going back up. Do this very very slowly to begin with and as Jackie says we were all there. People are amazed at how fast I can swipe to something but trust me on day one I hadn't a clue what I was doing!!! I learned everything about my iOS devices and Mac through lists so stick with us Adrian and you will cope with this just fine. If you have motor difficulties then I think there are settings within accessability for this and if you have hearing difficulty also. It is a case of trying out what works best for you but that is perhaps for a day or two time.

Hi AdrienOh dear! Well when you receive your keyboard, just shout and one of us will do our best to help, we've all been there. In the meantime, you might wishto explore your iPad with your finger. When you come across an item you want to open, double-tap it. Remember that the physical button at thebottom of your device will take you back to the Home screen if you get intodifficulty.

It is going to delay me by a week or more but so be it. I am raring to go but the keyboard is going to slow me up. Also I have a pass key on the screen and it is stopping me accessing the screen, if voice over is on, screen curton is on and mum has to turn voice over off to access the screen, this is a bit of a nuisance. I should have asked questions before I jumped the gun and ordered the keyboard. You live and learn. Thanks for all your help, it is appreciated.

But it will get easier as you go along, and remember we are here to help if you are stuck. You can go into Settings, General, Accessibility and VoiceOver to customise things as well when you feel a bit more adventurous.

Will start working on it this morning. Thanks, will keep you posted.

Open App Store and choose Search. Here, you can type in something like Skype, Radio, or basically whatever you are looking for. It does help if you know the name of the app you want in order to narrow your search and stand a better chance of finding the right one. Once you think you have the app of your choice, double-tap the button that says the price, then double-tap again to purchase it. On the Apple Bluetooth keyboard, you need to activate a double-tap by pressing the space-bar with the VO keys. These two keys are the second and third keys in from the left on the bottom row where the space-bar is situated. You will be asked for your ID, so you need to put in your Email address and password at this point. If you achieve all this successfully, you will find the app added to your device when you leave the App Store, so double-tap to open it as you would any other. If you need any more help, just let us know.

Mum had to help me set-up the keyboard as all the codes were in the leaflets. What do I do next? I have had a brief look at the applevis site, there are loads but for now I want to concentrate on getting important things set-up. Can someone please direct me? I have had a look at itunes and have registered but don't know how to proceed. I have also up-dated the firmware on the ipad because when I got it yesterday, itunes told me there was an up-date and suggested I up-date. I thought I may as well get it out the way.
