Re: iPad transfer

[Susan Hastings]

Hi Edward, I have found an ipad app that lets me edit and transfer text 
documents with the iPad.

That is, if I write a text document on my MBP, link the iPad via USB, and go 
the the APPS section of my iPad, there is a File Sharing window. The apps which 
allow transfer of files will have icons in this section, but only one allows me 
to edit it on the iPad, transfer it back to the MBP, edit on the MBP, then 
transfer back to the iPad. Its very basic editing on the iPad.

The app is called MobileStudio. It has a number of folders in the file sharing 
window, but I can't even work out how to put my document into one of the 
folders, it just goes underneath them.

Oh well - probably not very useful.

cheers, Susan.

Re: iPad transfer

[Susan Hastings]

Hi Edward, there are a few options for transferring documents to the iPad. An 
example is a little program that you have on the iphone or ipad, plus a utility 
on the Mac which adds a new printing option 'print to iphone' which will 
transfer it over your wireless network to your iphone or ipad.

When we have the iWork programs available here there will be options in iTunes 
to transfer documents to the iPad and work on them there.

But can only view the documents, there is no program like TextEdit available at 
this stage as far as I know.

So, for writing documents, I only have Notes as an option. I've tethered it to 
a wireless keyboard for writing notes - it feels odd to not have a mouse as 
well.

cheers, Susan.

iPad transfer

[Edward]

Good morning

Is it possible to transfer text files in rtf and pdf format files from a 
MacBook to the iPad. Is there a default text editor (not Notes) with the iPad 
like TextEdit on the Mac

Thanks and best wishes,

Edward
