Hi,
I was given an iPad Air by my college to help me study towards my Diploma in Travel. If I complete my course, I get to keep it but if I don't complete the course I have to hand it back. Now obviously I intend to complete the course, so that's not an issue, however I have never used an iPad before, I have no idea how to use it and am having trouble finding out how. I found this forum while looking for instructions on how to save a file from dropbox to my ipad so I can acces it offline and thought that maybe this forum can help me.
Before trying to find the information I need to be able to use this infernal device using Google, I contacted my college. My tutor gave me a phone number and told me to ask for an extension number for the IT department. I rang the number and the person I spoke to refused to put me through to the extension number because the "IT department is there for issues with the college website, not to teach students how to use hardware" and was told to go to the apple site to learn how to use the thing. I went to the website to find the answer to the question that brought me here and found the language to be aimed at those who are already in the know on how to use this stuff and therefore found it to be too confusing.
So now that I have registered with this forum, I daresay I'll be reading as many threads as I can find on topics that might help me, while also working on my studies. I'll be going into the college from time to time and hopefully, I can get someone to explain to me why I need so many pre-loaded apps on the Infernal Device (my nick name for the iPad, because it's driving me insane trying to teach myself to use it up to this point) and from this forum, I hope to learn how to use the Infernal Device and the apps on it.
Cheers,
Phoenix
