Thank you Rich. Just started to use the pencil. I find all your videos to the point and so helpful. You are a welcomed hope for all of us over 65.
Keep making these videos for seniors. We need your patient guidance.
Will do.
Mr Bowlin’s videos are efficacious not only for seniors above 65, but also for persons like us in early and mid-fifties, as well. 😊
It is nice to hear someone with productive tips instead of whining why they do not have a 427 engine in their 1965 Nova.
You are so kind and so easy to UNDERSTAND!!! I just bought a 5th gen iPad air w/ pencil.
If you screen capture then select Full page, then save to files, it’s like copy paste for the text … creates a pdf. Not fool proof, but very handy
Rich another excellent video with tips I never knew about. I am converting from Evernote to Apple notes so I can use my Apple Pencil to add to notes. These tips really add so much for me ! thanks so much!!
Thank you for that. 👍
As are all your videos, yes, this was extremely helpful!
Great job on your video!
Great into - THANKS!
You're welcome!
WOW! I never knew you could take a screenshot by simply swiping up from the LH corner. (Of course you don’t need an Apple Pencil to do that. You can swipe the screen with your finger and it works.). Thank you very much! 😊
Good video.
I use Freeform a lot for research & notes - the Apple Pencil is my go to tool in this app. The 2 = a perfect match
Another helpful tutorial! I have the pencil and use is mostly in my Procreate program to draw, but you have given me new ways to use it! Thanks again, Rich, for your very enlightening video! ❤ I forgot to say, I love the swipe from the bottom left to do a screenshot. I had gone into my settings to add a little gray button on the Home Screen to touch which would take a screenshot. But it was always in the way and I was continually having to drag it to another position or spot on my screen. This will alleviate that problem! I can remove that button and just use the pencil once I set it to do the screen shot! Great tip!
Hi Alicia. I forget that screenshot trick half the time and really do fool around trying to press the right button combination to get a screenshot. So that tip will help both of us!
I really appreciate your instruction. I know I’m underutilizing this wonderful device .
Glad it was helpful!
Some helpful tips. I use the pencil a lot but didn't know about the screen shot swipe, or the three finger undo, or the tap on the blank screen for a new note.
It’s not only limited to the Apple Pencil - will also work when you swipe using your finger
Hi Rich, I just found your informative video on how to use the apple pencil for seniors. I have an iPad 4th Gen. Retina with an Apple 2 pencil. I have not taken advantage of everything you showed us in your video. I'm left-handed and like most left-handers, I have written in the broken wrist method since I was young. Do you have any suggestions for me as a left-hander, as to how I can write better on my iPad? Regards, Richard
Good morning Mr. Rich, I really enjoy seeing your videos they are very informative. I'm in the market for an Ipad. I've been a Samsung girl forever at least over 10 yrs. I recently, started using the iPhone and I like it but there are a few things I really like on android verses ipad. For example I use the notes/calendar/magnfier on android instead of iphone. I wanted to ask you which iPad/pencil should I get if I want to draw, research, graphs, and lots of bells and whistles. Also, does the the ipad have a good magnifyer on it? I use magnifyers alot. I love tech, so I would love the extra bells and whistles on it. I was going to try apple Renewed/refurbished website to buy a iPad. Have you ever purchased from Apple refurbished ? and if so, how was your experience? Thank you for reading this message and I hope you have a great weekend/week!
Great Information on the pen. Please do a how to for first time Apple pen users.
There's a link in the description to this video that's a beginner tutorial for Apple Pencil users. Thanks so much for watching!
How do I find your older videos like I pad basics, or I pad pro basics? Thx!
Hey Rich. Do you use A screen protector on your I pad? I find it reduces the click/clack of the pencil on the screen. If you do what kind? Thanks so much for your videos. Using scribble to write this.😀😀
My Apple Pencil is used for writing on Goodnotes and scrolling
Good video. QQQ:I have brand new AppleAir M2. 15". Reading the new pencie isnt good !! To buy the older version. True or False ? And will older pencil work w my new computer. I prosume you are showing the original Apple Pencil, not the new one. Correct ? Thanks again. As always, Very helpful.
Usage of Three fingers does work . I have latest iPad mini and 2nd generation pencil. Software latest
Three fingers does not work.
Does an email recipient need to have iOS to see the handwritten or drawn material?
I find it easier to speak my note or search.
Why wouldn’t you make appointment in candlers
In the first place?
Second why using your finger to type in and swipe
Your Pencil?
You don’t need a pencils
You hold it in your hand and
Point and tap with your finger.
Thank you for showing how to do a quick shot. That’s new to me.thank you for taking your time to share.
One reason might be that you're on the phone with your doctor and you write down your appointment date and time. Doing that with the pencil is way faster than asking your doctor to wait while you open the calendar app and add the appointment. Once it's written down, now it's just a tap or two and you've got the appointment on your calendar.
Thanks for the video One short question :can i use the pencil in other email apps to?ex yahoo
I've not tried it, in Yahoo mail, but I think in any scribble field it would work.
Amazon is the best place to get one, inexpensive too
I have ipad pro(2021) with 2nd generation apple pencil but my hover doesn’t work please help
Can you help me? I bought an iPad Pro 11, 12.9 inches for a deal. Then, I found out I can't find a stylus for it. None of the Apple Pencil alternatives will work on mine.
An Apple Pencil Generation 2 works fine.
Drawing must only work with inbox as gmail does not show the button
What’s the difference between Quick Notes and Notes?
They're both notes, But Quick Notes are little notes you can swipe to get to well, quickly, without having to open the Notes application. Really handy once you get the hang of using them.
I still prefer a hard copy paper calendar on the fridge. (Typing this comment on my iPad btw)
me too!!!
@@BPe-ie9je My heating and hot water have been set up so I can turn them on and off via my iPhone. The actual switch is at the back of a cupboard. I said to an electrician recently, “can you pleased move that switch to my kitchen wall so I can reach it?”
He replied “No you don’t need a switch, because you’ve got the controls on your phone”.
But I don’t want to have to find my phone, put in a PIN, navigate my way to an App, open the App, then find the correct buttons on the App, then shut my phone down again. I just want to be able to reach out and hit a button on the wall! 🤦♀️. Edit: I see the computer calendar the same way. I could find my phone or iPad and navigate an App to see what I am doing this week. Or I could just look at the fridge! 😂
Does anyone else experience problems using your Apple Pencil on your iPad if you rest the side of your hand on your iPad screen as you write?
