Thanks Ronni, yes I am on Snow Leopard but the message was re-occurring every few minutes and was not referring to deleting old backups just that there was not enough room for any more. I will wait and see what happens now that I have re-started TimeMachine. Regards, Adrian

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.
