Duh: iPad safari search inside is easy!

Posted by jpluimers on 2011/03/14

The old iOS version of safari had no way of searching inside a page so I never took the time to find out (pun intended) if it was added in the new iOS.

But: I still missed this obvious feature, and – after finding out how – was amazed it is so easy.

As GilsMethod points out, just use the search box: in addition with a list of search suggestions, it comes up with a list of matches for the current page too.

iPad/iPhone Quick Tip: Enabling Multiple Google Calendars: Apple News, Tips and Reviews «

Posted by jpluimers on 2011/02/21

Most tips (like this one) I found to sync multiple Google Calendars to your iPad/iPhone don’t work any more.

This  iPad Quick Tip: Enabling Multiple Google Calendars by Geoffrey Goetz works well.

Summary:

  1. if you have iOS 3.x, then you need to sync using CalDAV
  2. if you have iOS 4.x, then you can sync using Google Calendar Sync.

In both cases, you need to visit the iPhoneSelect page to enable the calendars you wish to see on your iPad/iPhone.

Tthe actual iPhoneSelect page depends on how you use Google Calendar:

  1. Regular Google Calendar:
    https://www.google.com/calendar/iphoneselect
  2. Google Apps Calendar:
    https://www.google.com/calendar/hosted/your_domain/iphoneselect
    replacing ‘your_domain’ with your actual domain name.

Simple when you know how :-)

Now hopefully Geoffrey Goetz’ tip becomes more popular in the search rankings.
