RCCDSB Ios 7 Highlights (Pdf)

iOS 7 – Features for iPad The iOS 7 Operating System for iDevices added new features and improved old ones. Some of the features we liked with the old iOS are still there, but work differently or are found in a different location. Some of the differences are: the Search Feature, Control Panel, Taskbar, Shutting the Apps Down as well as App and Folder Appearances. An added feature with iOS 7 is sharing files via AirDrop. With this AirDrop we are now able to share files between devices wherever the AirDrop feature appears. Some of the hidden improvement and features are within the Apps themselves. Developers have been able to incorporate more “sharing” features within their Apps.

Turning AirDrop On and Off: From the Control Panel, tap on AirDrop and select Everyone. Note: This feature can also be restricted from settings. 4 Page SEA RCCDSB – Jan 17/14 Accessing AirDrop: AirDrop is accessed from the Sharing / Open in… icon from within an App. This icon appears on the top left or right of the screen; basically it is a square with an arrow exiting it. From this App (i.e. Readiris) the blue AirDrop symbol is visible. Note: The devices must be in close proximity of each other for AirDrop to work. After waiting, “Sea Sert-15” appears in this example and can be selected. Note: Numerous devices can show up as long as they are within range. Has been tried with about 20 devices and it worked. The receiving device will receive a notice to Decline or Accept a file. The notice will identify the file type with the extension, “….PDF.” The invite can be declined or accepted. Once accepted, the “Open with…” options will appear. i.e. This file was sent from Readiris as a PDF, thus it could be opened in iBooks. Being in the same room it will be easy to communicate which App to Open with…. i.e. SCR-2 declined and SCR-3 accepted the file. 5 Page SEA RCCDSB – Jan 17/14 .
