Does the MacBook and iPad have the same type of common applications?

I am new to the Apple environment but an advanced user of Windows.  I currently teach Senior Citizens how to use a computer with windows.  However, there are some seniors that have either a MacBook or iPad and would like to learn how to use them as well.  Therefore, I'd like to offer to have a training class that includes both of these products together.  Do both products contain the same basic type of applications such as; Mail, Address, Calendar, Photo Booth, iChat, etc...?  I know that Safari is the same.
I want to be able to give both types of users a good understanding on how to do things such as; using Mail, surfing the web, etc...  I noticed though that sometimes the steps taken to do something on a MacBook is different on an iPad.  I would appreciate it if anyone can give me advise on how to approach this type of class.
Thanks,
Marie

Maybe after you have spent time with MacBook Pro, iPhone and iPad yourself and used iOS 5.1 and soon to be iOS 6. Send the students to an Apple Store training seminars. Knowing Windows, maybe prepare students for Windows Metro and Windows tablet or something more familiar.
Even though iOS look and feel has invaded Mountain Lion, they are not the same in any way. In name and looks only is Safari really the same.

  • Can two Apple IDs be linked so that they can share data? My iMac and iPad have the same Apple ID and sync contacts, bookmarks, etc. My wife's iPad has a different Apple ID. Can it be linked somehow to mine to share contacts etc?

    No. You cannot link your contacts to hers. However, you can use Home Sharing to share the information:

    Normally, you just connect the monitor to the MacBook using a VGA adaptor that you can buy from an Apple Store.  Now try System Preferences > Displays > Detect Displays.  You should now be able to select a display mode for the monitor.  If it still doesn't work, then I'd check that everything is properly connected.  I've had problems with colours disappearing due to a faulty connection in the VGA adaptor.

    in response to Pita Fito
    I have contacted three more people that made the upgrade and they have the same problem. My advise is not to upgrade until Apple solves the serious issue, I would hate to have to re-install Outlook...

    I can send e-mails just fine with apple mail on yosemite...
    Might not be a generic problem but rather a personal problem..
    You should try find a fix rather than waiting on apple.
    Hopefully somebody can help you out.
    More than happy to help with your settings/preference pain... And compare mine with yours...
    If you send some screenshots... I can send you my equivalent... So maybe you can figure it out.
    Is it a gmail or icloud email acount? Can be of more help if it is.

    What do you mean by "user name"? They can, probably will, use the same iTunes Apple ID, if that's what you're asking.

  • TS1433 I have tried to reset the SMC and still have the fans running. What else could be causing this?

    My iMac has been continuously running its internal fan. Sometimes with just the internet running, or upon startup. I put it into sleep mode and wake it back up, which turns the fan off, but sometimes it starts back up shortly after. I have tried resetting the SMC by powering off and unplugging. Anything else that could be causing this?

    Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu.  Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order.  If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time, then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar.  Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.

  • I have a year old iMac and Macbook, both on 10.7.3.  Every time the iMac goes to sleep I lose wi-fi.  No problem with the Macbook and iPad.  A lot of people seem to have the same problem.  What's the solution?

    I have a year-old iMac and Macbook, both on 10.7.3.  Every time the iMac goes to sleep I lose wi-fi from  Airport Express.  No problem with the Macbook or my iPad.  It seems a lot Mac users are having the same problem.  Is there a solution?  Does Apple have a solution?

    Sometimes there are problems.
    Somethings to try but probably won't help....
    1. Repair Disk Permissions
    2. Startup in Safe mode by holding down the "Shift" key....
    3. Reset the P Ram by holding down the "Command/Option/P/R" keys at the same time...
    The above are standard items to do on any Mac from time to time.
    I repair permissions at least once a month....
    The other 2 periodically as they do straighten things out when they get out of whack....
    Thanks for the feedback.

  • I would like to burn an i-photo album with subtitles to a CD with the photos in the same sequence as they appear in the album and to have the CD work the same on a PC as on the MAC.

         I have created several i-photo albums with subtitles and proceeded to burn them to a CD. The CD burned with the correct subtitles, however, the photos did not appear in the same sequence.  I tried another method and the photos appeared in the proper sequence, however, my subtitles did not appear as in the albums. Is there a method that I can burn an album to a CD with the photos in the same sequence and with the same subtitles as in the album?
         I would also like this CD to work the same on a PC as it does on a MAC.

    sorry but files on a CD have no order - filles are simply bits on the disk - the file viewer used to view them determines the order of viewing - for example using the finder on the Mac you can view files in Alpha order, date created order, date modified order, file size  order, etc, etc, etc
    If you expor tthe files to a desktop folder using the sequetial option then the finder (and probably Windows explorer) would display them in the order you want IF the user views them in alpha order
    Bottom line is that you have no control over how the end user views files - that they make

  • Does this Macbook (FA700LL/A) have the Wi-Fi (802.11n) card?

    I know that Apple does not update its posted specs, but I was wondering if anyone knows if this Macbook actually has the n WiFi protocol and not just the g as stated on the spec page. I recall that before the new Airport Extreme came out, much of the Apple product line shipped with the "n" cards though their specs stated that the 54 MBPS g standard was the fastest they could do. Thanks.

    The only MacBooks that support the "n" enabler are "MacBook with Intel Core 2 Duo". You should be able to find that out from whoever is selling you this unit.

  • I used to be able to close the browser and still have the download box open and still download stuff but now I can't...what happened???!!!

    I was in the process of downloading something tonight and decided to close my browser. Unfortunately, the download window also closed and that meant my download was gone and I would have to start over again.
    I went back and started the download again and the download box showed the file picked up where it left off but when I closed the browser the same thing happened again; the download box closed when I closed the browser.
    The reason I close the browser is because my downloads download faster when the browser is closed and now that option is closed to me.
    Is this a new feature if so I don't like it as a matter of fact I would say I'm very pissed off with this new development. Please go back to fixing it so I can close the browser and still download.

    Hi cor-el:
    Thanks for responding to my post.
    I went to about:config like you suggest and changed the the thing you said. There is no improvement. Instead of my browser and the download box closing when I click on exit button/link now a box pops up with the message "If you exit now, 1 download will be canceled. Are you sure you want to exit?
    I don't need a box to warn me that if I exit that the downloads manager would close as well...I already know that and that's the problem. I want a way to stop the download manager box from closing when I exit the browser like it used to.
    Thanks anyway.

  • How can I sync photos on two PC's via the cloud (and also have the cloud store my photos)?

    I have PSE 12 on my HomePC  and WorkPC. I'll download photos to one or both PCs and add captions. I don't want to have to duplicate the work to the other PC. I want to store my photos on a (maybe) cloud service and have the cloud service keep the photos on the two PC's in sync. So, if I add a caption to photos on my WorkPC it will show up on my HomePC. Does anyone know how I can use the cloud to sync my photos and metadata? I am willing to keep my photos stored on the cloud if necessary. I wish there was a cloud version of PSE 12 so I could store and make changes there and then access them from my desktops? Thanks!

    I've uploaded photos to Revel, added captions to the Revel photos, but I'm not seeing the captions transferred back down to the photos on my PCs. I'm looking to add captions to my photos on either one of my PCs or on Revel and have all the photos synced with the captions. Also, unlike Elements, it seems that in Revel, you can't search on words or phrases in captions. Is any of this possible with Revel?
