Why?

[Caran]

Why can I not watch eBay and other films on my iPad? What do I have to do to be able to get it?

Sorry can't help you Caran....I don't have an IPad.

>>>eBay and other films

????? Is that a 'senior moment', Caran? eBay doesn't host films!!! At a wild guess, I'll assume that you meant to type 'Youtube' instead of 'eBay' ;-)

Unless things have changed recently, iPads don't (officially) support Flash videos. (It's Adobe Flash Player that's used to display Youtube videos on a Windows PC). That's because there's no love lost between Apple (who make iPads) and Adobe. (Steve Jobs vowed that no Apple product would ever have anything to do with Adobe's resource-hungry Flash).

However installing a different browser (rather than Safari) can fix the problem. Photon is widely praised for its ability to play Flash videos:

Just use the iPad app, or the mobile version through the website. I've used Photon and it's really not up to much.

Christ definitely a senior moment!!
Rocky what is the app called?
If I install photon can I keep safari and chrome?

[Caran]

I actually typed Chris not Christ!!

/I actually typed Chris not Christ!!/

Not much difference, really.

[Caran]

I agree actually!

So that's why people exclaim "Oh, Christ!" whenever I walk into a bar ;-)
