[QUOTE="DianeVan, post: 1745300, member: 318944"] You have an iPad now, so you can test lots of this yourself. Get Dropbox on your Mac and on your iPad. Anything you put in Dropbox is available from anywhere you have an internet connection. You can easily get any file you have put in Dropbox later or from any computer that has an internet connection including your own at home. As for screenshots. On the iPad you can make one by pressing the button on the front and the on/off button simultaneously. It makes a noise so you know you have done it correctly. The resulting photo goes into your photostream. You can set your Mac and iPad to share photostream (without actually joining iCloud and having the pics there too) so you can find your photos on the Mac when you get home. Play and try. on the iPad (I have the old original one so maybe there are more features on newer ones) I can browse the internet and select text and copy it. Then paste the text into other places like Notes or emails to myself. I used to have Pages and could paste into there too. You didn't say what kind of things you download, but I can download .pdfs onto my iPad and then open them in Books. Obviously there is a space limitation so when I get a new iPad I'll get one with lots of memory. I don't type that much on my iPad but have used a bluetooth keyboard at my brother's and it's great. There is an app called Pocket where you can save lots of things you find on the internet. You can pick them up on your Mac later as well. I'm mostly retired too and always finding more and more that my devices can do. When I am at a loss, I often go the Apple store with my old, out of warranty Apple devices and ask for help from the Genius "boys". If you go at a non-busy time they can help you out. That's where I learned to "sync" all my devices so calendar, notes, address book and photos are the same everywhere. I can make changes on any device and they all update automatically with no work or input from me. My Apple store also has learning sessions or short courses on all manner of things. You might try and see if your Apple store is the same. It's a continual learning experience with these expensive devices and every update adds more features. I figure since they are so expensive I might as well get as much out of them as possible. Ask more if this is not clear. Diane [/QUOTE]
