[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1522822"] Yes. There are innumerable ways to do this, but I'm going to suggest two: 1. If you don't already have it, download the free iBooks for your iPad. Once that's done, you can move PDF documents into it while it's connected to your Mac. [url=http://www.simplehelp.net/2010/06/22/how-to-add-pdf-files-to-read-in-ibooks-on-your-ipad-ipod-touch-or-iphone/]How to add PDF files to read in iBooks on your iPad, iPod Touch or iPhone - Simple Help[/url] 2. Alternate method: download the free Bump app for your iPad *and* Mac. Transferring files will be self-explanatory from there. You'll need to tell us if iTunes is organizing the music or you are using manual organization before I can give you a recommendation on that. Assuming that not all of your movies are in iPad-friendly format, you can use the free [URL="http://www.mirovideoconverter.com"]Miro Video Converter[/URL] or the paid (and excellent) [URL="http://www.iffmpeg.com"]iFFmpeg[/URL] ($12) among other options to convert almost any format into the specific iPad configuration iTunes will accept and thus sync with the iPad. One in iTunes, a little dot lets you know if you have never watched a movie, watched part of it or watched all of it. IIRC you can set iTunes to delete all fully-watched films on each sync. You can also use your perfectly-acceptable way of deleting the movie when you finish watching it if you prefer. A batch-conversion of shows should be able to automatically add them to iTunes so you don't have to worry about moving the right files around. There is a free iOS app for Blogger that will let you do this, as well as a number of third-party Mac programs such as [URL="https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/marsedit-blog-editor-for-wordpress/id402376225?mt=12"]MarsEdit[/URL] ($40). Time Machine (software) is already built into your Mac. Format one of those drives (make it one with more capacity than your boot drive) for Mac and plug it in, Time Machine will ask you if you want to use it for backing up. You do. That's it. Here you go, love mine: [url=http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-bluetooth-headphones-under-150/]Best Bluetooth Headphones Under $150 | The Wirecutter[/url] Those are $70, and you can pair it with both the iPad and the Mac (not at the same time, obviously).
