Busted iPad? Here’s what to do

What to do if your iPad looks like this

First:
Make sure your Notability notes are backed up to Drive.

Notability –> Gear icon [bottom left] –> Autobackup –> Google Drive –>Login –> File Format: PDF+RECORDING

Second:
Make sure your pix and vids are backed up to Google Drive

Google Photos –> [If you’ve never set it up, you’ll need to login and make some selections. Use your uncommon sense.] –> Click the top right icon. You should an indication that the backup is happening.

Third:
Bring the iPad to DS1 [or the ARC, if DS1 is closed].

A replacement iPad will be prepared for you. Keep an eye on the iPad Hospital to see when your replacement is ready.

Fourth:
You will be billed $100 – a “deductible” for the repairs.

That will come from the business office.

Move Pix/Vids from Drive to iPad

Sometimes you need to move a picture or video that you’ve stashed in Drive, so you can use in on your iPad [in iMovie, for example].

Here’s how:

  • Open up Drive and naviagate to the picture or video you want to use.
  • Click on it – it should open up so you can view it
  • Hold your finger on it. A window should popup that will give you the option to save it to your Photo Album.

From there you can import into iMovie, Textilus, etc.

 

So what happens when you copy the photo from Drive to your Photos, and then Drive copies all your Photos back up to Drive because of the setting. Do you get 2 copies of the photo? Hmmmm……….
