    I wish there was a way to keep each photo up longer. It seems like the photos change so quickly.

    the problem is there doesn't seem to be a way to control the duration of the pictures (i.e. how long they stay on the screen before a new one appears); it's way too fast for me right now.

    You are right, doesn't look like there's an option to specify the amount of time on the screen…I guess that we'll have to wait for an update for that one.

    Agreed…maybe an app or an update will help with that.

    On the off chance that this happens, let us know! :-)

    Dude, seriously? This author truly is a Microsoft drone. Apple users can read and the intuitive menu on the iPad is easy to understand for any simian with a double digit IQ. Not so for our dumb Microsoft users alas. This article offers no value whatsoever. Try editing some plists for additional features.

    Not-Microsoft,

    Thanks for your comment. You would be surprised the number of emails and comments I get requesting help in using the iPad and the iPhone…just because it is intuitive for you doesn’t mean it is for others…and no I’m not a Microsoft Drone….90% of the computers run Windows….so the majority of people are accustomed to a Windows interface (perfect or imperfect as it may be) it is used by the vast majority of computer users. A lot of people buying iPad’s have never owned a Mac before so it’s all new to them. Keep that in mind.

    How to switch off Picture Frame?

  • http://www.gilsmethod.com Gilberto J Perera

    Switch off Picture Frame? What do you mean? Disable the feature? That’s not possible. The only thing I can think of is not adding a folder for Picture Frame to pull pictures from.
