SCOtutor, a video how to use your iPad is available free today. Looks good for newbies and may have ideas for more experienced users (I just looked at the first few minutes.)

You can only sync your iPad with one iTunes library so if you plug it in to a different computer with an iTunes library, it will give you the option of if you want to sync with this new computer. If you say yes to this though, it will prompt you that the iPad will be wiped and it will then be sync'd with this computer.

Hi, I have an iPad 3, using iOS 5.1. I'm very new to this, can someone tell me if it's possible to copy & paste text?
Thanks

Double tap the area you wish to copy and the select bar will appear. Either select all or drag the blue bead(s) to select the desired text to be copied. Once your selection is made the copy,paste options will appear.

To paste double tap area and select paste from the presented selections.

It's more complex to get pieces of text as you long press for the magnifying glass then go through the same routine as above,

This isn't a perfect description but should get you going.

Touch a word in the block of text you want to copy, the touch either Select all or Select and drag the handles around until you have highlighted everything you want. Then touch Copy. Head over to where you want to paste it. Touch your screen in the text area and touch Paste.

Not sure if it's posted here yet there's a lot to look for but has anyone noticed when using safari if you have say 4 pages open (don't matter how many), you can hold onto the top tab of each page hold it, then drag it to first page, second page etc. keep your safari pages in a neat order and rotate them as you please.

Never seen this happen.

HAHAHA.. I feel kind of funny knowing I spent all this money on an Etch-A-Sketch...

There's also an UNDO key on the numbers (!?123) keyboard and a REDO key if you are on the numbers keyboard and press the #+= key.
