Anyone else find the more you use your iPad professionally the more of a pain it becomes?

I love my iPad2 and my iPhone 4 but lately i've found more uses for my iPad from a professional point of view and have tried to take advantage of this by using it for work.  I'm self employed and i use my ipad and iphone to take photos, formulate quotes/estimates and email them to the clients, display my portfolio and PDF's of brochures......etc.  The thing that winds me up is needing an app to do everything.  It all just seems very messy now.  It didn't bother me when all i was doing was browsing the Web and sending emails but now i'm actually using it properly to do proper things the whole way in which it functions is awfully messy and a bit of a ball ache.
For example;
I take a photo with my iphone of a property that requires scaffolding.....i want to transfer it to my ipad so i can edit the photo with some annotations, lines and arrows and then send it via email to the scaffolding company i use.
This is a majorly long drawn out process.  Take photo with iphone.........enable app on iphone and ipad for file transfer, select transfer via bluetooth, photo sends at a painfully slow rate, find photo in ipad, open in editing app, edit photo, save photo, open photo in email program........etc.  It just takes ages.
Why are functions such as transferring files and photos between iphone and ipad with the same OS not part of the basic functions of the OS.....why the **** would you want an app for that?  I'd like to be able to pair my devices once and then be able to transfer anything i like by either pushing it from one device to the other or pulling it from one device to the other.  Having to put one device in send mode and the other in receive mode seams a slow and backwards way around of doing things.  File transfer was quicker between devices years ago.
The ipad is an amazing piece of tech and works really nice but moving files around and actually carrying out productiive work on it is majorly clunky and messy.  Anyone else agree?  Lets hope iOS5 sorts this out.

Cheers for that. Unfortunately not available yet though. Looks like it might make things easier.  From what i can gather though it will still require 3g or wi-fi connection to sync everything up. I'm assuming that if i take a photo at a clients house and then want to email it immediately to someone from my ipad it wont instantly be available on my ipad?  I'd just like to be able to send photos' between my apple products without needing to do 20 screen taps:)
Looks like iOS5 might bring us a little closer to a fully functional tablet.

    Can you use your iPad alone to share iTunes music to apple tv without having to use your pc?

    Do you have any music stored on your iPad or is it all on your PC?
    If the music is stored on your iPad, then double tap the home button, swipe (left to right motion) and you will see the volume/brightness controls/AirPlay. Tap on AirPlay and select ATV. Then go into the music app

    How do you charge your iPads in the classroom? Is this convenient?

    What's the difference between and educator and a teacher?  I always called my teachers "Teacher" or "Teach".
    Most use a large cart that hold about a dozen iPads and charge them simultaneously.

  • HT5278 Does your games and apps get wiped when you upgrade your iPad to the IOS 5.1.1

    Hi I would like to know that if you upgrade your IPAD 2 to IOS 5.1.1 will all the stuff you have on your IPAD get wiped

    For the sake of updating, it doesn't matter too much - but you can find it on the iPad through Settings -> About - Version. If your current version is 4.x or older, you'll have to do it through iTunes... but even if you have a newer version, if you want to be extra sure that you'll keep your data then do it through iTunes (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623) and make sure to let iTunes fully back-up your iPad before you start the update.

  • Anyone else find it stupid you can't cancel an order 5 hours later?!

    I ordered a computer yesterday only to find out my boyfriend ordered me one. So, i called customer service to cancel it and they wouldn't since it had already been processed. Bunch of Bull****. Unless my custom computer was already built,packed and shipped in those 5 hours there is no reason HP can not cancel the order i made. It seems like a waste of time/resources to put the computer together just so I can send it back to them to get a refund back to my credit card. if anyone knows any tips to get around this please let me know.

  • Does anyone else find their screen dims to almost black after the iOS6 upgrade?

    Ever since the update to the new iOS, my phone's screen will almost black out, and then within a couple minutes the brightness will come back. Doesn't seem that anything I do in settings or otherwise helps get the brightness back. It has happened while I have been using an application, on the phone, etc .Sometimes it happens when not being touched. I know my settings are okay, and tech support can't figure out what to do next. They already traded my handset out and it is still doing it. I also did a restore as a new phone in case it was a software issue. If you are having trouble with this too, please call 800-APL-CARE and let them know. If enough people let them know, then they'll fix this glitch. Or if you know a fix for this glitch please let me know.   Thanks

    I have had the same problem with my Iphone 4s. I have restored it several times and the issues comes and goes. I can be on a call or just openning a app and the screen will go dim. The only way for the backlight to come back on is for me to hit the power button. Its very annoying and I have not took it to apple yet because It does not stay dim.

  • The more times you use your charger the less efficient it becomes?

    So is this true?
    I heard somewhere that the more times you use your laptop charger, the less effiecient (i.e. slower to charge) it becomes.
    I also heard it is very bad for the charger(as well as the environment) to leave it plugged in while its not in use.
    Can anyone shed some light on this?

    Neither of these crackbrained notions is true, though the adapter does draw about one watt of AC power when it's plugged in and nothing is connected to it. Leaving it like that 24/7 would run your electric bill up by nearly a third of a cent per day, if you never plugged the MagSafe into your computer at all. Whatever else you're doing with your life has a heckuva lot more impact on the environment than that does.

    Hey ther Jadabigs11,
    It sounds like you either need to find the Apple ID email address that you registered the iPod Touch with, or need to reset the password associated with that email address. If you need to find the email outright, this article will help you do that:
    Apple ID: How to find your Apple ID - Apple Support
    if you need to reset the password, use this article instead:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

    You used the data.  Verizon can not see what it was sued for.  However your phone can see whats apps used the data.  go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle.  line the dates up with your cycle.  then there will be a bar graph below that   extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right.  after those are extended below that will be a list of apps,  there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

  • Is anyone else having email problems such as apps exiting in the middle of an email? It may be a wireless issue. I use First Class for work and yahoo email for personal. I will be in the middle of typing a long email and the app just quits, all data lost.

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

  • Does anyone else find the scroll bars too narrow.

    Does anyone else find the scroll bars too narrow?  I have to select them several times.  Otherwise, I love OS X Lion

    Correction YOU need. I am glad to see them gone. Forgotten all about them, so please don't speak for everyone.
    So Lion is still Broken… and Mountain Lion does not seem the fix the issue either…
    Lion is not broken, you are simply having a lot of trouble adjusting to it and trying to forget your old habits. Lion is fine. And Mountain Lion not applying the 'fix' you believe is required does not bode well for your future usage and thus reverting to Snow Leopard may be your only hope of regaining these outdated features.
