Help!

Hi everyone...

I'm trying to convince my mum that she can use an iPad to do her Open University work! So far so good but is there anybody who does?

I'd quite like to know if it is possible to save a document from pages on to a USB Drive. My dad asked me if there was any way to back files up on a hard drive rather than iCloud and I couldn't answer him. Your thoughts would be very much appreciated.

Thanks! Bx

Hi there Beth and welcome.

The Open University actually publishes courses on iTunes U, see the App screenshot here....



With respect to saving files to an external hard drive I would do this (although someone will probably provide a better solution. Get the (free) Dropbox App on your iPad and computer, you can email your files and load into Dropbox (at which point they appear on both your computer and iPad) then load them onto the hard drive from the computer at any time.

There is lots of good advice and info on here plus plenty of members all too willing to help with any problems.
