using with Windows 7
IOS 4.3.5 & ITunes 10.4.80
1. I have Pages on the Pad. I chose "send to iTunes" - I dont see my doc in iTunes.
2. Can I add lines to a documents so it looks like lined paper?
3. How do I stop Pages from adding numbers when starting a list and I want to resume without listing?
4. Mail App question. What do the icons in upper right mean? see jpg from a screen shot I found on line.
5. On the Home page of the Pad - can I:
a. Rename an App?
b. Move an App to a spot I want? the iPad seems to move to the last
avail spot.
c. I heard there is a way to add a folder (say "Travel") so all related
travel apps in one folder.
6. Finally (I think) I copied photos & movies (h264) from my PC to a USB and SD card - none are visable and importable when I insert into the iPad (using the connectivity adapter). Is there a way - or only thru syncing via iTunes.
Thanks - and apologies for a loaded post.
I can help with a few of these.
1) With the iPad connected to the computer, select it under the Devices list in iTunes, then choose Apps from the top of the screen. Scroll down to the File Share section and select Pages from the list of apps there. You'll see all the files you exported to iTunes. You can also copy files here to the computer for importing in Pages. You will only see them in Pages after you import them. You do this by creating a new document and selecting the import form iTunes option.
2) Some app can do this, some can't. I don't believe there is any way to do this in Pages, except to add a large picture, zoom it way out, and send it to the background. Very messy.
3) You can change the type of list bullets by taping the 'i' icon at the top, choosing List, and changing the type. Choices are bullet, image, lettered, and numbered. To change a list that is already numbered select the list, then change then go to the List options and change them. To get it to stop adding list items go to the List options and choose None.
4) I believe this was answered, but in reference to a later questions, the box and arrow icon is normally referred to the Share icon. It usually (but on always) contains options like email, print, post to face books, or other options that send information out of the app. It is a common icon in many apps. If you don't have a trash icon, you probably have an archive icon that looks a bit like a some folders. This sends your email to an archive folder instead of to the trash. The only account type I've seen this show up for is GMail. You can turn it off (and get a regular trash options) by going into your account settings and turning off the archive feature. In GMail, the archive options sends your mail to the All Mail folder.
5) Answered already I believe.
6) To import photos to the iPad using the CCK (Camera Connection Kit) the SD card must be properly formatted. This usually means that there is a DCMI folder on the card. To be sure, just format the card in a camera. Most pictures will import fine if they are in this folder, and the file name is less than 8 characters. RAW files are less predictable, because the is no one standard. Most will work, but you may only see the imbedded jpg file, if it exists.
Video files are harder. The iPad only recognizes a few formats, and they must be set up with the right parameters. View the iPad spec page for what it (should) recognize.
Apple - iPad 2 - View the technical specifications for iPad 2.
You can import a far larger variety of videos through iTunes, since it will convert most formats for you. For importing video that iTunes won't do you can try OPlayer. It does a pretty good job. A combination of GoodReader to copy files to the iPad (a plethora of options in GoodReader) and using Open In to copy them to OPlayer will work with most common file types.
