Richard Coombs Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I'm sure this has come up before somewhere. Does anyone know if there is a way of keywording on an iPad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReeRay Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Yes, ask Alamy to allow you access to "my images" original version. I do most of my keywording via this route Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Rooney Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 One of the dumber things I've done in recent times (but surely not the only dumb thing) was to buy an iPad without 3G (or 4G?). It can connect only with wi-fi. Wonderful, but I don't have wi-fi at home. Can I get wi-fi at home? I guess, but in the same way that I can get a vintage Porsche -- pay for it. Instead I had decided to save about $150 on the iPad. There's a free wi-fi connection at the local library. Also funny (not ha-ha funny) is that I can't decide if I really need an iPad. I would have to use it more connected at home before I can understand enough about it: Catch 22. So far, the only thing I use it for is to play Virtual Pool.

ReeRay Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I get a red for offering advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Rooney Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Here's green for balance ReeRay. Perhaps some others can add a greenie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReeRay Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Thanks Ed. Gesture appreciated. Some folks eh???????? Seriously though, keywording of an iPad is readily available via the original manage images which, incidentally, I prefer to use on my iMac. Others have also expressed their preferences in this respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 It might, irony alert, have been someone scrolling on an iPad and accidentally touching the green/red buttons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Rooney Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 That's possible, Geoff. ReeRay is normally one of the easier people to get on with . . . unlike me. But I don't use the red ticket. Even if I sometimes get (earn?) a red ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Lewis Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Hi Ed You said that you didn't have WIFi at home did you mean that you didn't have internet at all?? regards Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Rooney Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 On no, no, no, Jon. I have a very good iMac on a Verizon high-speed telephone line (forget what it's called). Can I connect by plugging into that? I guess you've guessed by now that I'm not a tech-savy person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digi2ap Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 On no, no, no, John. I have a very good iMac on a Verizon high-speed telephone line (forget what it's called). Can I connect by plugging into that? I guess you've guessed by now that I'm a tech-savy person. In which case, Ed, why not set up your own wi-fi network from your iMac. That's how I have wi-fi at home - no need for a separate router. All done within 'System Preferences' and 'Sharing'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Rooney Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I'm unaware of those possibility. I'll look into it. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Lewis Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Hi Ed As others have said you should be able to wifi the iMac or buy an airport express Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Hi Ed! Just get an Apple Airport Extreme wireless router that you connect to your current modem. I assume you have Cable or DSL. Then, Presto - you have wi-fi in your dwelling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Coombs Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 Thanks ReeRay, I have emailed MS to request access. Cheers. Rich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, Presto - you have wi-fi in your dwelling! Those things cost $200, $50 more than the $150 I "saved" by not getting 3G. I have DSL for my iMac.

I'm not planning to travel anymore, so maybe I'll just stick to playing Virtual Pool on my iPad. I think I paid about $129 for my refurbished Airport Extreme several years ago. I use it for my iPad, several iPhones and my Roku so I can watch internet based programs, like YouTube, on my tv. The Airport Express is only $99 and may be enough to cover your needs. Or you could splurge and get a Time Machine which will give you a wireless network and a back-up drive. There's also third party wireless access points for under $100 but they're not as Mac Friendly as the airports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Rooney Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Thanks, neighbor to the west. Do you know Lupe's on 6th Avenue one block north of Grand? Good Mexican food. I wonder if any of these things can be had for virtual money? I've won several million off Curley at Virtual Pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotoDogue Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Sorry I don't think I'm familiar with Lupe's. Do they have wi-fi? As for virtual money, you could always sell some odds and ends on eBay, put it in your PayPal account, and buy a Wi-fi router with that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYCat Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Ed, you really did save money because the 3G service isn't free. I only get it for when I travel because they let you take one month for $15. If you want it all the time it would add up. I think you can get an Airport to use with you DSL. I have cable so not positive but if you have a modem it can just plug into the Airport -- which is plugged into the wall. Paulette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Rooney Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Thank you, neighbor to the east. Obviously I have sorting out to do. I'll begin by watching some YouTube videos. I've been involved with other things, other problems . . . and the understanding of my mini-iPad will have to wait longer still. I'm so unfocused on the iPad. I remember now that you mention it that avoiding monthly payments was the reason I did not get 3G. (I think.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
