  1. iSmart for iDevicesApple iPad/iPhone/iPod By Tamara Ottum, MxCCLibrarian Updated by Sandra Couture, MxCC Ed Tech Specialist

  2. Before We Start1. Turn on your Wi-Fi2. Log into MxCC Wi-Fi

  3. Steps to Turn MxCC Wi-Fi On Follow these series of clicks: Settings app > Wi-Fi > Toggle Wi-Fi on > Select Mxcc-Public

  4. Login into MxCCWifi Once you select MxCC-Public Wi-Fi network, you will be taken to a MxCC Wireless Services Login screen. • Enter you NetID Login. For ex. 00123456 (no @mxcc.commnet.edu) • Password: NetID Password • Click Connect

  5. The Basics

  6. What are apps? • Short for “applications” - software that runs on the Internet, on your computer, or on your phone or other electronic device. • Typically “apps” is used to refer to applications designed for mobile devices and usually for a specific function.

  7. Mobile Web Site vs. App

  8. Free Apps • Often free apps include ads. • Some are lite or demo versions. You must upgrade to the paid version for certain features. • Some require payment for content (ex: Newsstand) or a paid subscription for access (ex: Netflix or Hulu Plus).

  9. Paid Apps • Pay once, use as many times as you want and upgrade without additional charge. • Sometimes there is “premium content” within the app that you will have to pay for (often called an “in-app purchase”). • You can “Gift This App” to other users’ devices.

  10. Paid Apps Tip! The price you pay does not determine quality. • Price is determined by the developer or programmer. • Sometimes you can get free trial version to test out before purchasing the full app. • *Be sure to read customer reviews and ratings.

  11. Apple ID If you already have an iCloud, iBookstore, or iTunes login, the same credentials work.

  12. Apple ID • Users with different Apple IDs can buy apps separately on the same device. Once installed, all the apps will be available to use, whichever account is currently logged into the device’s App Store. However, to update an app, you’ll need the username and password for the account through which it was downloaded and/or purchased. • Apps downloaded with your Apple ID are like your AAA road-side assistance. It follows the person, not the vehicle.

  13. iTunes

  14. iTunes • Tip! To move apps to device: • Sync, or open the App Store and look in “Purchased”. • If you have “Automatic Downloads” activated, the apps will automatically appear.

  15. App Store

  16. Installing Apps Tip!Before downloading, review the app details. Just like your computer, install only apps that you need and make sure that you download them from trusted sources.

  17. Installing Apps Tip! Set restrictions on your device for purchasing apps. Some mobile apps, due to their size, can only be downloaded and updated via Wi-Fi.

  18. Updating Apps • When apps need to be updated on your device, a red circle with a number will appear on the top right corner of the App Store icon. Click the icon and select “Updates.”

  19. Updating Apps Tip! • Make sure you update your mobile device’s iOS and apps on a regular basis. • Cyber attackers can more easily exploit your devices if you are running outdated operating software and apps.

  20. Organizing apps To create a folder: • Select and hold an app icon. • Drag the icon onto another. • Name your folder.

  21. Deleting apps • Remove from screen: Hold down app icon until they wiggle, and click the black “x.” • Deleting from device: Settings > General > Usage > tap app name and click “Delete App.”

  22. Deleting apps Tip! Your Apple ID account keeps a permanent record of apps you have downloaded, so you can re-download deleted apps from the Store at no extra cost.

  23. Troubleshooting Apps • Restart the device. • Check for updates. • Remove the app and reinstall. • Google the problem.
