Hi John, Yeah, you nearly got it right … just left out the important bit … shut down the computer first ;-) I didn’t think it would have been me who suggested to you to “switch off at the power point” without first shutting down the computer. That is a "no no" thing with me, the only time I w

iPads, iPhones and iPods have a connection to the computer via their dock connector, which uses a little cord, supplied, which plugs into your computer's USB port. You use iTunes to transfer to and from the iPad. Sent from my iPad On 30/03/2011, at 5:34 PM, Merv Bond wrote: > > I am confuse
