-- Hi, can anyone help with this? I have been using Bento quite widely on my iMac, and have about 20 libraries up, including a Chinese-English pinyin (romanization) and character store. Now my wife and I are due to go on a 'Silk Route' trip through Central Asia, Istanbul to Beijing.
-- This trip we thought we would take my wife's iPad instead of my MacBook, so I downloaded Bento on the iPad, after updating to the latest iOS (also updated to the latest version of Bento on the iMac). I would like to transfer (sync) the Chinese library from the iMac onto the iPad. This is certainly possible with the Sync command from iMac Bento. 1). The main problem is, that with the Sync command, no mobile devices show up as the target for the Sync. Is this because my wife's iPad has her details (email address etc) as the user, and if so, how can I get round this? I have both devices side by side, the iMac connected to the router by Ethernet, the iPad by wireless. -- Some of the other problems will be because I am a complete novice with the iPad, and have had to be shown how to switch on and off, alter volume levels etc. Some questions: 2). If I can run the Sync successfully, will it transfer the whole Bento database (all libraries), or only the library open at the time of syncing? 3). If the library/database is synced, how do I type Chinese pinyin into, say, the Search box? On the iMac, I choose 'Pinyin - Simplified' on the Input Source menu or by a keyboard shortcut (Command-Space). I don't know how to access either of these on the iPad. Any suggestions, or tips on the concept of taking an iPad to Central Asia, much appreciated. David Noel 2013 Aug 19
