Hello,<BR><BR>Bill in Maryland here with a new iPad. I find the iPad very user friendly, to a point. I am completely unfamiliar with Apple OS and operations, I have learned quite bit in the last week with the new iPad, but I have some unresolved issues. <BR>1. Having been a PC user until now, I am used to seeing a file manager -- so I can see what folders, and files are on the hard drive. I there some method of displays a "file manager" like tool on the iPad, or an app?<BR>2. While on apps, I have downloaded a few I thought would be usefull, but I am finding that the apps I downloaded are rather insular, in that they only function within themselves. For example, my wireless printer is not on the list of "air" capable printers, so I looked for an app that would allow me to use my existing wireless printer, and I selected "Print n Share" . It seems that the app does work with my printer, but only from within that one app. In other words, if I try to print a Word document from another app (while in that other app) I cannot find a path to my printer. I also downloaded Quickoffice HD PRO and opened an iCloud and Dropbox account, but I have not yet found a path to my files. I could use a tutorial on how these clouds boxes and apps are supposed to work together to allow, originating docs, editing docs and printing docs, spreadsheets and powerpoint presentations. <BR>3. I loaded iCloud on my pc and sync'd my Microsoft Outlook mail accounts, calendar, contacts and notes, and that worked fine. I was then able to activate my iCloud account on the iPad and sync mail accounts, to Mail -- Contacts to Contacts, Notes to Notes and calendar to calendar. How do I avoid creating duplicate notes and calendar entries on the iPad when I resync my PC to iCloud?<BR><BR>I am impressed with the "Star Walk" "GPS HD" and "TWC" apps. I have FTP Client Pro but it lacks any insight in how I might store download files to the iPad. Any help there would be appreciated, or recommendation on an FTP app that acts more like FileZilla. Also looking for a good app to edit html and php.<BR><BR>Best Regards,<BR>Bill in Maryland
