Hi! thanks for the invite. I need to get better with the iPad. I do have an IG thing. haven't made a post yet! and haven't attempted the shop updates! its because i don't have a phone, and limited patience. 😉

Hi friends, I just read on the forum that we need to clean out our cachet or our cookies in order to see the new shop format. Does anyone know how to do this on an iPad??

[VintageMaineia]

Absolutely, Gail!!

Press Settings > Safari.
Scroll down and tap Clear History and Website Data.
Tap Clear History and Data.

Thanks for the invitation to join. I do 99% of my work in both Etsy shops (lynettesadowystudios.etsy.com is my other one) on my iPad. I have a Belkin Bluetooth Keyboard case, am on the 2nd one in 3 years as I use it so much. (spilled tea all over the 1st one or it'd still be working 🙂 It turns the iPad into a little laptop really. My biggest beef is the Etsy app only loads vertically. Because my iPad is always horizontally in the keyboard case, I rarely use the app, only use Safari. Have to log in and out of both shops as necessary. Not a huge issue because one shop is much busier, but If anyone knows how to "rotate" the Etsy app, I'd love to know!

[VintageMaineia]

Lynette, no there is no way to rotate it. The app is really a phone app that they make possible to use on iPads...

Considering upgrading your iPad?

I have an older iPad, the third version that came out in spring 2012. Sometimes when an iOS update arrives, it messes up something with Etsy - not anything else online, just Etsy.
So when I started getting notices for iOS 9, I waited a while to see what feedback I could hear.
Many Etsy sellers have reported that they can't add photos to their new listings or their convos. Some have said that using Safari instead of the Etsy app is a good work-around.
But then I saw a post here on the team that the update is killing some newer iPads.
I'd like to stop getting the update reminders. I might even benefit from getting the update. But I can't take the chance of it messing up my being able to do Etsy or of it killing my iPad.
Does anybody have any suggestions?

[VintageMaineia]

I have the update on one of my iPads but not the other. I seem to have stopped getting the annoying reminders on the other.

You can always try Apple support. They have been helpful in the past when I've called.

Joanne, I can't download any of the apps for iPad.

[VintageMaineia]

Deb, try shutting your iPad completely off and turning it back on.

After that "fix" I call Apple support : )

Here's what I found:

Fix the issue on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

If you can't connect to the iTunes Store on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, make sure:
1. That your date, time, and time zone are correct. Tap Settings > General > Date & Time. Time Zone might list another city in your time zone.
2. That your iOS software is up to date. To check for updates, tap Settings > General > Software Update. You can also connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to iTunes and click Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
3. To check that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're using cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > Cellular. If you're connected to cellular data, larger items might not download. You might need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
4. That you have an active Internet connection. For help with your connection, check your device's user guide.
5. To see if other devices, like portable computers, can connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
6. To reset your Wi-Fi router by turning it off and then on again.

It's time to update your iPad. Even if you already did:

There is a vulnerability otherwise.
