Hello again Apple Users Group Members.

Here’s a helpful web site with graphics to show you how.

http://www.simpopdf.com/resource/how-to-transfer-pdf-to-ipad-iphone-ipod-touch.html

My own instructions:

Step 1.

Open iTunes

Click file (upper right hand corner of iTunes)

Click “Add file to Library"

When menu opens, locate pdf file on your computer

Click on the pdf file

It will then be imported/saved to your BOOKS directory on iTunes

Step 2.

To sync pdf file to your iPad

Plug iPad into the usb on your computer

When iTunes opens wait until your iPad shows up in the left column.

When it stops loading, click on the iPad icon

Go to the Tool Bar on the top

Which reads: Summary-Info-Apps-Music-TVShows-Books-Photos

Click on the one that says BOOKS

Your PDF File should appear in the directory. Make sure the box next to it is check.

Then click  sync (lower right) and it will go to your iBooks Library on the iPad

If you don’t see on the main book shelves in iBooks on your ipad, tap on “collections tab" and then when the menu opens tap on PDFs and it will be there.

Moving your books or other files

If you want to move any book or pdf files to another location in iBooks

Tap on Collections tab, tap edit tab on the far right, tab the edition you want to move, a little check appears. You can move as many as you want. Just tap it so that the check appears.

Then tap on the  “move tab” (upper right hand corner)

When the white menu opens, tap the category you want to move

Your file to, and abracadabra it’s flies to its new location. Be sure to tap “Done” when it has completed.

More About Apps

Hi Members of the Apple Users Group,

As promised here are a few Apps you can "purchase" for free for the iPad. Most all of the newspapers are free on the iPad. That is, a limited edition of the newspaper itself. If you would want the entire publication it will costs you big bucks. I find these limited Apps of the news paper suit me just fine. However, the choice is up to you. All prices of the editions are listed when you search them to download. 

Try downloading the following: (Just bear in mind, when they are free apps, you may have to putt up with the ads here and there) Just remember they are free and they are fabulous. CNN, WNBC, FOX NEWS, WASHINGTON POST, NY TIMES. GOOGLE, TWITTER, SKYPE, READABILITY, (Readability saves items you come across in newspapers and on the internet to read later on), MERRIAM WEBSTER DICTIONARY, FACEBOOK,  TIME MAGAZINE MOBILE (not sure if  TIME MAGAZINE was for free), C-SPAN RADIO (great), ART LITE, (fabulous art), PHOTO EMAIL (This one is a fun APP. It's brand new by Incredimail. It allows you to make stationary and include snapshots from you photos in a special way and not the run of the mill snapshot in an email, right on your ipad).

Need or just want a free compass? Just search the word COMPASS IN THE APP STORE. Did you get your free jumbo calculator yet? JUMBO CALCULATOR Free in the App Store.Grab it. It's great. 

Now for some entertainment Apps: 60 MINUTES (if you missed the show on Sunday. You can watch it all next week on the iPad or the iPhone app.) This is a great APP and I love it. ABC PLAYER APP. Watch a lot of the shows you missed on ABC TV. Shows like THE BACHELOR, BODY OF PROOF, CHEW, THE VIEW, DANCING WITH THE STARS (too many to name here).You can even watch the late night shows.

 And remember, if you don't like the app, you can just dump it. Just hold your finger down on the APP until you see an x on the upper left side of the icon, tap the x and it's gone. One more very entertaining and educational is the Google Earth APP. You can take a virtual trip around the world, or right to the city you used to live in,  right on your iPad with this APP. Give it a try.

Well, I think you have enough information for now, but there are many, many apps you can explore. Not saying you have to like all or any of them. Be choosy. You have a lot to choose from.

My next hint will be how to clear your cache file on the iPad. Just learned this one myself. After a while this file that holds all your history and temp files builds up, just like your cache and temporary file directory on your computer. I'll tell you have to clean it out.

Bye for now,
Sandra
