How do I get my photos from my iPad to Dropbox?

In class on February 5th, a student asked about getting photos from her iPad into DropBox.  Here is a link to the instructions: 
https://www.dropbox.com/help/289/en

  • “Purchase” the Dropbox for iPad app – it’s FREE
  • On your iPad, go to Settings>Privacy and ensure that make sure that the Sharing is turned ON for Dropbox and any other app where you wish to share data among devices. If you are using Evernote and Printer Pro, these should also be ON
  • Open the Dropbox app.  Look at the Settings at the bottom of the left column. Touch the Settings “gear” icon. If you wish to have your photos uploaded automatically when up open Dropbox,  turn the Camera l Upload to On. If at any time you wish to stop this feature, just turn this off and you can still upload photos manually.
  • Ensure that the Link to iPad has been activated.  It’s at the bottom of the settings page.
  • In the left column, touch the sign at the top of the column. You can Create a folder  or Upload Here. When you choose Upload, your Photos will automatically upload to Dropbox from your iPhone or iPad

How to delete an unwanted Keyboard

Did you end up with an unwanted keyboard when we were exploring settings on Friday? Here's how to "unselect" that keyboard. I really don't have much need to type in Greek!

Go to Settings>General>Keyboards and touch International Keyboards. You can now see Keyboards with a number in the right column. This shows the number of keyboards you have inlcuding your default keyboard which should be English. Now touch Keyboards. You will see your keyboards listed. Touch EDIT in the upper right corner. You will see a red circle with a minus sign to the left of all but your default keyboard. Touch the red circle to delete a keyboard, then touch DONE in the upper right. 

Mission accomplished!
