Connecting your LeapPad to more than 1 computer.

You will need to download the LeapFrog Connect application to all computers you want to connect your LeapPad to

In order to access your child's Leaplets, rewards, and Learning Path info, you will need to sign in using the same LeapFrog Parent Account on each computer.

To change the LeapFrog Parent Account associated with your handheld:

- Click the "Parent Account" tab in the top navigation.

- Click Set Up My LeapFrog Account.

- Log in with the email address and password that redeemed the Leaplet, and then indicate who plays with each player name on the handheld.

How to remove apps to free up space

If you want to add new content to your LeapPad but you’re running out of space, remove some apps to make room. Here’s how:

1. On the LeapFrog Connect home screen, choose a player name to enter the LeapPad view.

2. Click the On This LeapPad tab.

3. Uncheck the box next to the apps you want to remove.

4. Then turn on your device and connect it to the computer with the included USB cable. Once your device has finished syncing (you will see “Sync complete” at the top of your screen), eject and unplug the USB cable.

Micromods

Micromods let your child change or enhance there favorite Leapster LeapPad games.

Micromods include new game music, character clothing, game modes, special moves, etc.

Your child can exchange his/her LeapWorld tokens for micromods in the LeapWorld store.

LeapWorld can be found when using the LeapFrog Connect Application.

"Sneak peeks" = Nagging kids

What i am about to tell you, will save you from nagging and or disappointed children.

When you revive your LeapPad there is a icon named "Sneak peeks" located dead center of the main menu screen.

Your child will find this ! and when launched it will display a list of game and app trailers that your child can view.

I have a sneaky suspicion that a good chunk of that first update download is a whole bunch of new up to date ad's to incite our kids into nagging us in till we get the new game they have just seen.

Apart from the nagging us parents dread, there is another reason South African Parents will want to disable this feature as soon as you get the LeapPad, several of the trailers are for content we can not access in SA like the Disney Cinderella Ultra eBook

Which my 5 year old daughter now wants "Soooooooooooo much".

I only found out after my daughter watched the "Sneak peeks" that they could be disabled after doing a Google it.

All you need to do is access the Parent Settings and turn off the "Sneak peeks"
