ipad reset

If it isn’t one thing it’s ANOTHER THING. Like updating the iOS in Manzana (my very first iPad). Which I did the other day. But suddenly iOS 9.0.2 started asking me to put in all kinds of crap, including a passcode. Well, I didn’t want a passcode. Manzana never leaves the house and these days is mostly used for browsing. So I thought I’d updated everything okay, but when it rebooted I was asked for a passcode. WTF? I tried my usual one. No luck. Tried another one. Uh-uh. Tried those two again a few more times and suddenly I was locked out. The screen said “i-Pad Disabled” and I had no idea what to do. A bit of googling brought me to this page, which seemed to do the trick. After a few tries. But of course I lost all the photos and had to manually upload Apps again.

So it’s making me think twice about updating the latest Pippin and Manzanilla. Has anyone else had similar update issues?

pippim IIIMeet Pippin III … my third iPhone.

After much hemming and hawing and traipsing back and forth between the two main mobile phone/internet stores here, I finally picked up my new iPhone 5S last night. Also named Pippin. And with the most beautiful screen lock photo ever…

Things didn’t go so smoothly with the set-up as the guy helping me with this in the store ran out of time and patience (apparently I had too much stuff for him to transfer) and I was told I could just log into iTunes and transfer all the info from there. Except it turns out I mustn’t have saved things there like I thought I had. So today I’ve been restoring apps one by one and lamenting that I’ve lost ALL my messages. But whatever. The new phone looks and feels great. Very sleek and chic. I’m very interested to find out what I can do with the new improved camera (though the one on my old iPhone 4 was fabulous). Still not sure what to do with my old iPhone. I didn’t turn it in because what with this and that I would’ve only got 39 euros for it, and I could easily sell it for more than that if I wanted to. But I’m not even sure I want to do that. Might just keep it as a back-up. But I should probably lay off the retail therapy for awhile…

What was the last electronic gadget you bought?

A week or so ago I was telling my friend Juan (who owns the Vineria San Telmo, one of my top-five fave tapas bars in Sevilla) that I was seriously considering getting an iPad. He’s had one for a couple of years and, in his opinion, thought I’d do better getting a small MacBook Air. And well, I could see his point because an iPad is kind of just a big iPhone, except you can’t make phone calls on it.

BUT… it really would be useful for when I want to visit clients and show them my social media presentations, or their page on my Sevilla Tapas blog. It would easily fit into my handbag and doesn’t weigh much, so I could pretty much always have it with me. I wouldn’t always carry around a small computer, no matter how lightweight. And besides, the MacBook Air costs twice as much as an iPad. But Juan insisted that it was worth it because it was actually a computer, whereas the iPad is, well, just a big iPhone.

BUT… I already have two laptops. And if I have to upgrade at some point, which may actually happen soonish, I’d want a proper laptop with a decent sized screen, not a mini-sized MacBook.

And so I was telling all this to Juan and he suggested that I borrow his iPad for a few days to see if it was actually suited to my needs. What a generous offer! So I picked it up on Saturday (photo was taken outside Juan’s restaurant) and within five minutes I was hooked. I LOVE it. But now that this decision has been made I am suddenly faced with another dilemma, because apparently the iPad3 is coming out in March. So do I wait until March to put myself into debt 600€ or do it now? Will the iPad3 be that much better that it’ll be worth the wait? What if it’s even more expensive? Or maybe I should wait until March and pick up an iPad2 for a song (if possible)?

What should I do? What would you do?
