How the hell do you get this to work on an IPad?

I've read the info, watched the demo and for the life of me I can't get it working. Any hints or tips appreciated

Note: this is for my other hobby more then my fab related activities

When you open safari, you have bars at the top which you can type in. One You put www. And so on, in the other it searches google. In the search one type what you are looking for then when it's searched at the top of the google page you can click images which will change it to google images.

That's not what I meant. You can search on an image like a word and that's what I can't get working.

Nottingham/and everywhere my location says i am ;)

I normally just screen shot the image I want, then upload it onto google images then search for it

Or copy the URL if its an online image, then paste the URL into the search engine.. Will show were ever that image is posted.

Is the image online?? ( sorry if I'm telling you to suck eggs here, hard giving advise like this )

If so at the top, where the web address is that's your URL. Press on it so the cursor appears.. Then press and hold. That should give you, select, select all etc. click select all. Then press copy.

Go to google images and press and hold onto the search bar till paste appears. Click it. Press search. Away you go searching

Tried that, sure it's me doing something wrong rather then the tool. I've even tried with my images on my profile on here and they don't come up either.

Get the URL address of the image e.g. http://images.fabswingers.com/avatars/04/042490d8-1e95-4035-94ad-15845fc69751.jpg then on the right hand end of the google search bar click the camera, then paste the URL into it.

I couldn't get it to work on ipad either.. but if you use chrome on a PC, you can just drag/drop the image towards the search bar.. much easier..

As I read it I'm assuming u want to search to see if an image is on other sites ? If that's the case try tineye , very simple to use and works on iPhone or pad , google tineye and the rest is very simple , either copy and paste image to the search box or type in the URL , very effective and we use it a lot
