apple's mobile operating system system is named ios. this is for all phones and tablets, and possibly ipods also. most of apple's hardware and software begin with an "i".
.
.
music player
.
the default music player is fine. it's easy to load all your music to ios if you use itunes. to play a song you should "edit" a playlist and add the song you want. because there are so many os updates, i suggest simply using the default music app.
.
izip
.
zips and unzips files. it can also password files and folders if you have something sensitive on your device. i usually have a file with passwords on my computers and devices, so if i lose the computer or device, someone doesn't get my passwords unless they know how to brute force hack a password.
.
iexplorer
.
this is not neccessarily the best file explorer for ios, but it's sufficient to do what you need to do. the only better option i've seen is use a computer while hooked up to the mobile device, and run a file explorer designed to look through the files on your mobile device.
.
to set up wireless file copy (download) with iexplorer
tap iexplorer
tap the 3 lines
tap wifi
enter "smb://ip" or "smb://computername" without the quotes
tap connect
.
you can transfer folders or files this way (everything except the operating system and applications are transferrable). if you are using a slow device or the network or other computer or device is slow the file transfer might stop halfway. if that happens you want to transfer only a few files at a time, or file by file.
.
documents (by readdle)
.
this is the best word processor i've seen on ios. below are detailed instructions how to do word processing in ios. (in android word processing is much easier)
.
make sure you have enabled file transfer (see iexplorer above)
.
1. copy a dummy document (doc rtf txt)
copy and paste a doc, rtf, or txt to your root iexplorer directory (the first folder you see when you tap iexplorer) from a computer or another device with samba (smb) file sharing capability. windows has samba installed by default
.
2. create a document
tap iexplorer
tap the dummy document
tap open with
tap another app
tap the D logo (documents by readdle)
when you are finished tap the three dots tap share
tap iexplorer
.
3. rename the document
tap the home button (the circular button on the bottom of your tablet or phone)
tap iexplorer
tap and hold the file icon until a check mark appears on the file
tap the square with an arrow pointing up
tap rename
.
make sure you put the same file extention it was (or don't put a file extention and tap cancel and it will add the file extention for you)
.
.
i have not done this yet. i assume you use the gear icon named "settings"

with the newer ipads and ipods you press and release the power button to lock the computer, and then after it is locked you press and hold the apple button until the shut down option comes up. the newer apple oses do not have a warm boot (reset) option. you just shut down and turn back on to reset it. a warm boot is the same thing as the cold boot, same with computers. apple uses less buttons than you see on other phones and computers, and apple removes the warm boot option. the only way to restart newer apple mobile devices is a shut down and then press the power on button again.
.
there are 2 exterior buttons on older phones. newer phones and tablets have a couple more, like volume up and volume down) the circle button (also named the home button) is the one below the screen. the power button is on the side of the device. on older devices you can turn the device off directly. with newer devices you have to lock the device before turning it off. on older devices you can disable the screen automatic lock. if this frustrates you, buy an android device next time. android devices work a lot more like computers hardware and softwarewise.
.
the power button when held in and released for about 3 seconds will turn older devices your device on. on older devices when you hold the power button in for 6 seconds you will get a swipe prompt to "shut down" the device. on newer devices you have to go into the lock screen before shutting down. on both new and old devices while the device is on if you press the power button for 1 second and release the button, it will deactivate the screen. turning off the screen saves a lot of battery, especially if you are running the screen on a high bright setting.
.
on older devices if you hold in the home button (the circle) it activates the audio interface application. on older devices if you press and release the button while an application is in the "home" screen it will bring up the desktop. in some applications the home button functions as a 'back' button. if you are using the home button to get to the home screen just keep pressing the home button until the home screen appears. when you are on the home screen (the desktop) if you press the home button twice (double click) it will take you to a screen where you can scroll through all open applications. if you drag an application upwards it will close the app. if you tap a window, it will maximize that app.
.
the iphone can act as a proxy to connect to the internet if you have an internet connection and you want another device to have internet access which doesn't have internet access, but has wifi. this might work if the other device only has bluetooth (like for older ipods, but older ipods don't have a web browser, so this is mostly for iphones and ipads if you use your phone as a mobile hotspot and pay for a mobile data service)
.
on newer devices (and possibly older devices too) to move applications around on the desktop (apple calls it the home screen. it's the screen you see when you turn on the device after you input your 4 digit numerical password) tap and hold any application. all the applications jiggle. you can move an application on top of another application and that will create a folder. you can drag an application between 2 applications and that will relocate the application on your desktop. you can drag an application temporarily down to the bottom bar and switch screens to drag the application back up to another screen. when you are totally finished you can "lock in" your changes by tapping the bottom home button. if you make a folder, you have to drag each item out of the folder seperately by opening up the folder, making the applications jiggle, and then dragging each application up and the folder view will change to the desktop view, and then putting the app somewhere. when you drag the last application out of the folder the folder disappears.
.
i suggest putting all the applications you use the most on the first page, and all the applications you don't use on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc pages.
.
double click the home button and swipe the application window up to close an application.
.
if you click on something and it just hangs (loads for more than about a minute), double click the home button (button in the bottom middle) and swipe the window of the application up to close it. the window disappears when you do that successfully. then press the home button to bring up the desktop screen, and tap the application again. just do that over and over until it fixes the problem. turning the device off and on also fixes the "application hang" problem.
.
getting free applications does not require a password every time. you cannot currently (when i wrote this) avoid putting in your password when you get a non free application, so just keep your apple username and password handy if you buy applictions frequently. you will eventually get a pop up "save password for free items", and after selecting "yes" it really saves you time getting new applications. i guess it's a good idea to require to enter a password every time you buy something. if you are the only person ever using the device you might want to save the password for the device in your device somewhere. you can use izip to encrypt it with an easier to remember password if you are worried someone might get a hold of your device. it's common to lose mobile devices, so i suggest being careful about what you store on the device like passwords in documents. (passwords like wifi passwords are automatically encrypted, so nobody can see the password after you input it). you should be keeping all passwords on paper and in a fireproof safe optimally.
