I like the keyboard alternative from a third party option. I HATE typing on my tablet so I take my pictures outside and then type my description inside on a lap top...

which some things I am sure never end up getting a "pro" description. 😞

[VintageMaineia]

I bought a keyboard for one of my iPads. It hooks up using Bluetooth.

However, I haven't used it..............

[VintageFunkHouser]

Joanne, that would certainly make things easier for me!
Let us know how it works out.

[MeAndMyQuiltsEtc]

I have a keyboard for my iPad, too. It's Bluetooth, and I love it.

DON'T set the date to 1 January 1970. It will FREEZE UP your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with no way to undo it:

Taken from an Etsy forums post:

There is an ios app to help import your Etsy store to a stand-alone website. It is called Boxtiq app (www.boxtiq.com). You can import your Etsy store to Boxtiq and then use it to export the listings to Shopify as well as list on various social media sites.

Hi, thanks for inviting me to your team. I'm new here and use iPhone and iPhone equally to maintain/ update my new shop.
I haven't been able to use " rearrange your shop" from my iPad yet.
That makes me very frustrated because have to use my laptop just to do that. Is that only me?. Can anyone rearrange their shop from iPad?.

[VintageMaineia]

Jila, welcome!!

From trying on my own device, as well as reading about it, unfortunately, no. It just isn't designed to do it. (Yet at least.)

Keep in mind that the "rearrange your shop" feature only is seen on a PC or laptop. When we do rearrange our shops, it is not visible on the Etsy (buyer) app.

Because of that, I am very careful when I list and renew. I list/renew the "uglier" stuff first, and then my items that have better photographs. That way, the nicer looking stuff is up front.

[JilaCrochet]

Good idea thanks.

This article is targeted to gaming, but has some interesting points about using iPhone-only apps on our iPads (sound familiar?)

Hi guys, I just joined you. Thanks for the invite, Joanne. Does anyone know whether we are able to create treasuries with our iPad?

[VintageMaineia]

Gail, welcome to the SUITE team!!

There is a treasury app for Apple devices a few posts up on this thread. Otherwise, it can be done from a regular web browser on the iPad.

No treasuries from Etsy apps that I have seen.

Thank you Joanne

I keep being unable to download iOS 9.3. And then I saw some folks on a thread yesterday discussing the fact that certain etsy things won't work after they got iOS 9.3, so I guess I'm glad.
Has anybody here had any problems with iOS 9.3?
Also, I wonder if they're talking about the Etsy app. I use Safari for all my Etsy-ing, so if it's the app, then it might not be a problem otherwise.
Does anybody know?

[VintageMaineia]

I checked, Jane, and my units both have 9.2.1...

Etsy works OK on mine. But I don't use it very much, more for testing than anything.

[OpenVintagePreserve]

I do 99% of my Etsy-ing on my iPad, so I need it to work well with Etsy. And I keep getting reminders to add iOS 9.3. But in the past, when I've added an update, there have been problems ONLY on Etsy, nothing else. But Etsy always just says that I need to get a newer iPad or computer, because it's not their fault. So annoying. . . .

[VintageMaineia]

I agree, that >is< really annoying.

Have you tried calling Apple? They have great customer service.

About treasuries, it can be painfully slow to do, so I go to the bottom of the listing page below their tags, (will we still see tags in new update?) and hit the add to treasury button. I make my treasury all at once, where as on my laptop I had several going at a time. Not a very cohesive style.
Google Chrome has an app to make free treasuries, but I use Safari.
i store my treasuries to make revisiting quick.
Now I forgot if I hit the plus sign favorites or bookmarked.
