    Question iPad help

    Every so often when visiting web sites instead of a picture i see a litle blue square with a white ? . What do I need to do so I can see the picture? The iPad is great to have next to you when your doing upgrades or maintenance on the spyder. But things are a ton easier with pictures.

    Thanks
    John

    The iPad doesn't support flash - no work around for that. You can go to your desktop and save the page as a PDF, then transfer it to your iPad, & see everything.

    I've been looking at purchasing an iPad2 and the flash video bothers me. However, in all the reading up on it, I learned "there's an app for that." actually two apps that will play flash video.

    Steve Jobs released this letter some time ago pertaining to why they don't support Flash:

    Spyder #1 - 2008 GS SM5 Premier Edition #1977. RIP after 80,000 miles.
    Spyder #2 - 2012 RT SM5. Traded in after 24,000 miles.
    Spyder #3 - 2015 F3 SM6. Put 13,000 miles on and sold it.
    Spyder #4 - 2017 F3 SM6. Too good of a deal to pass up!

    Thanks for the info. I have been very happy with my iPhone and now want to try using an iPad in my classroom. I think I can manage just fine without a few flash videos.

    I know I won't be able to play some games or view a few videos, that's fine. But pictures on a web site?

    Example. Looking at http://www.canyonchasers.net/shop/generic/relay.php today. I am able to view all pictures on the iPad. Touch a picture and it fills the screen. Go back and no more pictures on the site. Just little blue ? marks.

    Even a few older threads here are nothing but little blue ? marks

    Refreshing doesn't help. Guess I just can't touch the pictures.

    Interesting-- seems to work okay on my iphone 4.

    For this forum I would use TapaTalk app -- works great!

    I just tried your link on my iPad, & like you said, it all worked fine & when I went back to the page the pics were blank, but once I refreshed the page, they all showed up again on my ipad so I'm not sure why their not refreshing & showing on yours But I agree with you, the iPad is very handy but also very frustrating when it comes to uploading pics

    Could be a case of bad programming on the website......
