No control, alt or delete key on an iPad so there must be other ways to copy and paste a link which I will figure out, after thirty years of windows, it's my new challenge!

Mrs BB has an iPad mini (she's never used anything of an IT nature before) and swears by it but I can't make head nor tail of it. Tried to set up air drop to a non air drop Epson printer..............doh. Had to call the 12 year old in, she did it in about a minute and a half and was so fast I couldn't follow what she did. When asked to describe how she'd done it...............the look oh my God,:eek: the look! :eek:

Surrogate granddaughter and sole beneficiary of the joint Bassett will. Sharp as a razor and so IT savvy it's breathtaking. She starts for school at 8 and rarely comes home till 6.30 and often later (Christ College, Brecon what a superb school.). Her quest for knowledge is amazing and we love her to bits. All small villages in Wales have loads of these!:xgrin:

Now that's "How do you set up airdrop to a non airdrop Epson" NOT "How do you get me a 12 year old" obviously!!

Press and hold your finger on the area to be copied and you'll get the option to select, select all and paste. Use select to highlight a small area of text or select all to grab all of the text in the box / navigation area. Move to where you want the text to be pasted and press and hold again, then select paste.

Is this a coded message? My guess is it was Colonel Mustard in the library who did the deed with a tablet, but as to what sort of tablet, evidence is lacking.

This might have something to do with the forum reply box. If ( with windows) I wanted to include a link under the word here, I simply highlighted the link in the other web page come back here, click the paper clip above and insert url. They IPad won't let me do this, (yet)

If I click on an empty space paste cut etc flashes momentarily so, so far, I can't paste using my iPad

See this thread: http://www.motorhomefun.co.uk/forum/threads/cut-and-paste-apple.98656/#post-1224798; there appears to be an issue with IOS 8.1.2

Looks like it's my all new all singing and dancing APPLE IPAD then, wtf do they release software bug fix updates with software bugs in them?
Oh yes, both Android and Apple have issued software updates which have caused folks' devices to misbehave.

IPads are good, but they are not perfect; my ipad's internet browser, Safari, closes itself quite regularly and I've crashed my BIL's Mac several times, even though he originally claimed that it never crashed and thought that the sun shone from S Job's backside. He is still a fanboy but not quite as certain about their reliability.

I dread asking, but if it'll help I will when I get home tomorrow!:)

@dabhand

The 'expert' was in Hamburg on my return home visiting family (extra week off school for clever little ladies at Christ College) however this was her response to the query:-
Make both printer and iPad visible to each other on your wireless LAN and print......................all said with a sigh between each word.............when I said what do you do if the printer isn't wireless?.......................she became a 12 year old teenager and replied........................'you don't'.:xrofl:
I could see that there were words she would have added to that last statement but her Dad was present so she bit her tongue and gave me one of those 'looks'.
