Charging problems? If you've connected your iPad to your computer and it's not charging, it could be one of these problems. To troubleshoot:
Be sure you have both the most current version of iTunes as well as the most current version of your iOS.
Check to be sure your cable is not damaged by using it along with the wall plug that came with your iPad. If the device charges that way it's not your cable.
Be aware that not all computers or USB hubs have sufficient power to charge iPads. For instance, an older (2008) iBook will charge one iPad via the USB port, but not two at once, even though the iBook has two USB ports.) MacWorld has a good article explaining this issue.
Digital Storytelling can transform your students' writing into a visual masterpiece that is filled with voice and emotion, while enhancing critical thinking skills. The iPad takes digital storytelling to a new level by making the process easier, and even more engaging for students of all grade levels as well as for their teachers.
This site will help guide you in what you need for success in the iPad Digital Storytelling classroom.
A look at some of the most common iOS 4 problems with the iPod Touch and how to remedy them.
How to capture a screen shot
In order to take a screen capture of the iPhone or iPod, press and hold the Home button that is located at the bottom center of the iPhone and is more often used to return to the default screen of your iPhone. While your hold the home button, also press the Sleep / Wake key on top of iPhone and a screen shot of the existing screen will get saved to your iPhone or iPod photos folder. The iPod / iPhone screen will flash momentarily to indicate that a screen shot has been captured.
How to produce video using an iPhone or iPodTouch4
In "Settings" go to "General: then "Sounds" turn off "Keyboard Clicks" and any other sounds you don't think you'll need.
In "Settings" go to "Brightness" turn off "Auto Brightness" and turn brightness down to a low as you like--the lower, the less power you'll use.
Turn off any extraneous app sounds that you can--usually found in the app itself. Look for "settings, an "i" in the corner or sometimes a "gear" icon to access those.
Microscope Adaptation for iPod Touch4 or iPad2 (SO Cool!)
The mod was created by Crabfu who has used a BodyGlove iPhone case to attach to the microscope to make it then easy to attach ans remove from your iPhone when required. (clear cases are available from Amazon for under $2.) In fact, the total cost of creating this amazing little microscope/adaptor is under $15, including shipping.)
The video producer mentions an app called "Digital Zoom" (free) for helping get the best shots with the microscope, but after reading reviews of this app, you may want to check out "Gorrillacam" (also free) instead. (allows for digital zoom and much, much more!) The "blucam" app mentioned that allows you to connect your iPod4 or iPhone camera to an iPad is $1.99.
Its a great little mod for quick magnification out and about without having to carry too much extra equipment.
