Here’s how to change the Weather Widget on your ipad from Cupertino to something a LITTLE closer to home.
The Weather Widget on an iPad
Widgets are those blocks of info on your initial screen. You can add, move, delete, and even stack them [stacking means there are several widgets in the same block on the screen – you scroll through them to se the additional info.]
Start the process by pressing and waiting on the widget.
Long press on the widget
A menu will pop up.
The Widget menu
Click on “Edit Weather”.
Not exactly close to home, is it?
Click on “Cupertino”, and type “Macon” – or wherever you’d like to see the weather at a glance.
Pick the correct Macon from the list. Yes, there is more than one in the US.
Wonder if we’ll get some snow this winter?
Not today…. or anytime soon!
The same process is used to modify or delete the other widgets.
Click the “DONE” button, top right, to finish the job.
Why this happens: You typed in your passcode too many times
How to fix it: Bring your ipad to the iPad office [or the ARC, if the office is unoccupied.] We will have to wipe it, which can take anywhere from a couple of hours to a day or so [depending on what else is happening tech-wise.]
Hopefully you setup your Notability backup to Drive correctly, AND your photos and videos are backing up to Drive as well.
HERE’S HOW to check that your backups are actually happening.
Wed – Fri May 11 – 13, probably in DS1. This is ONLY for those who want to turn in the iPads early, AND do not need them for exams.
Regular Turnin – Upper School
Exam week, Mon – Wed May 16-18, DURING SCHOOL HOURS, in the ARC. We will be open for an hour past the end of the last exam each day.
Regular Turnin – Middle School
Your teacher will let you know when they know. DO NOT BUG THEM ABOUT IT.
HOW TO GET READY
You can save yourself a TON of time by getting your ipad ready in advance.
Make sure your photos are backed up to Drive [CLICK HERE]
Make sure your Notability notes are being backed up [ CLICK HERE ]
Make sure your iPad has AT LEAST a 20% charge. We WILL NOT accept any iPad with less than that – you can either plug it in and wait, or come back later.
Bring your cable and charger. make sure it is an IPAD charger [larger], not an iPhone charger [ small].
Remove your Passcode.
