Okay, question? I've downloaded iworks onto iPhone, can I synch my docs from my iPad or is this a step to far as in emailing docs to iPhone? Help, please

Unfortunately they didn't add any sync ability. You'll have to copy and send to and from each device by the same methods as before.

iDisk or a WebDAV client will be the most convenient (though still not great). Email is going to be just plain awkward trying to keep document versions up to date.

Thanks TwerpPoet! I knew it wouldn't be simple! Sigh! So every time I create a doc, I will have to synch each time. I can always hope for a better solution!

TIP, to move from page to page, drag app to the task bar, then page to the target page and drag the app out of the task bar to where you want it to go. Much easier that way.

To move an juggling icon from one page to another, just drag it to the edge of the left/right side of the screen, and the screen will automatically scroll across. No need to pull it down into the springboard and out again.

If you haven't synced your iPad in a long while the backup can take a bit.

The backup file has been known to get corrupt and cause problems as well. You can delete the old backup file in iTunes Preferences, the Devices tab.

My recommendation, when updating the iPad choose the just download backup option. Separating the long download from the actual update can help prevent problems, and you can keep using the iPad while the update downloads.

Yup! That's what I do as well. I can't lose any iPad time!

I have never synced my ipad since the first time i bought it which obviously explains it. I left it syncing overnight and its still going now.Is this likely to cause problems though I dont want to stop it it has nearly finished now lol.

Is there anyway to group apps at the point of deployment so that when a user downloads the apps end up in a specific folder. We are in the process of building up a suite of apps and would like to group them so that when a user downloads an app it ends up in a particular folder and they don't have to worry about organising their folder. The folder kind of becomes a library of related apps that we deploy.
