How to add addresses to groups in iPad? How to send to group?

Address book has not synced properly from my computer to Mobile Me for ages, well before I added my iPad to my stable of products. I've gone through all the advice here and traveled unsuccessful loops to push it or force it to sync again. I deleted every address manually from MobileMe and had it re-populate. It replicated what I just deleted and did not pull the new information from my MacPro. I truly do not understand where MobileMe keeps that old list in its memory and why it insists on reloading outdated information..I would guess there is at least a 40% inaccuaracy with the MobileMe and iPad addresses. It's popping up again addresses that have long been deleted from my MacPro and the has a complete absence of new addresses from my "Master" address book on my MacPro. I have reselected my MacPro as the master in System Preferences and asked it to sync again many times.
I have synced my iPad directly from my MacPro. Still the same old version which matches the MobileMe address book keeps showing up on my iPad. Here's a small twist: I recently added a new group in my MacPro Master Address Book. Both MobileMe and the iPad picked up the name of group but it contains NO contacts or addresses. At first the new group name was appearing in my iPad address book on both the lists labeled 'From my Mac' and 'MobileMe' but now the group name is missing from the 'From my Mac' list. Very odd, since that is the only place that the group actually exists!
MobileMe is currently unresponsive on loading contacts or my calendar so I can't get on the website to verify that version. The rest of MobileMe appears to be working but the iCal error message I sent to Apple bounced.
I cannot upgrade to Lion :-( so trying iCloud is not an option.
I see no way within the iPad to move contacts from the All Contacts list into a new group. If I could do move them within the iPad address book that would take care of the majority of the addresses I want in the new group list. The only thing I can see to do in the iPad is to retype the entire contact information or engage in a time consuming cut and paste transfer of each contact. Both of those options are too daunting to be acceptable. There are about fifty contacts I want in the group.
There does not appear to be a way to send a vCard to the iPad to add that to its Address Book and even if that worked I don't see how to tag anything to move it into any group on the iPad. How do people without a computer get any use out of the iPad's AB? Its limitations are so frustrating to me. I detest sending emails to multiple people from my iPad and save those for when I can get on my computer.
I just tried to set up a 'send to group' email from one of my existing groups in my iPad address book and I don't see anyway to do that from the address book. I went into Mail on the iPad and I don't see how to address an email to more than one person at a time except by typing the first few letters of each name and selecting each person I want to add from the drop down list that appears. Please tell me there's a better way to send to a group of people. If not, I need a recommendation for an address app with better functionality.
I have some urgency for accomplishing this as I will be spending the day in the hospital and want to report results to friends and loved ones as quickly as possible.

Hi
You asked about a recommendation for an app to paste a group of addresses into the To, Cc or Bcc fields of an email?
Our "MailShot Pro" app is the only one we know of on the App Store that creates special "group contacts" in your address book which contain all your groups email addresses, but can be used just like regular contacts from most of your favourite apps. We now have nearly 50000 people using it, and growing steadily every day.
Here is a link if you would like to know more “MailShot Pro” (itunes link).
A free version is also available if you'd like to try it out with a small nmber of contacts.
If you need any customer support just contact us at the website, we're always happy to help.

How to add my video library to iPad g3 from MacBook Pro?

How to add my video library to iPad g3 from MacBook Pro?

What sort of videos are they, and what app do you want to sync them to ? If they were taken with your camera and they are in a format supported by the iPad, then you could sync them to the Photos app - with the iPad connected and selected on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, you can use the Photos tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to sync photos and videos (there is an 'include videos' tickbox on that tab) to the Photos app.
Or you can sync them to the Videos app. If you can add them to your iTunes library (File > Add To Library) you can then use Movies tab (instead of the Photos tab) to sync them to the Videos app. If you can add them to your library but they don't sync over because they aren't in a supported format then try doing Advanced > Create iPad Version and then try syncing those versions.

How to add text to the standard iPad wallpaper

We have thousands of iPads in our business, all controlled by MobileIron. We would like to put a message on all the iPads pertains to password policy.
The way we propose is to take a copy of the standard wallpaper, add the message to that using a Paint like program, then use that as the wallpaper for the lock screen.
However, we can't find a way to add a wallpaper to those which are stored on the iPad.
Does anyone know how we can achieve this - or have any other ideas for how to put a message on the lock screen, which can easily be rolled out to many devices.
Thanks

You can't add to the wallpapers that are stored on the phone but you can use any picture stored on the device as the lock screen wallpaper. Can't think of any to automate the process, though.

How to add address book

I just bought a iphone 5c and can't seem to add my address book, is the app the same as on the desktop?
Thanks for your help.

The Contacts App on the MBP is the equivalent of the contacts app on the iPhone. Do you have both set for use with iCloud? You could activate it for both, allow them to sync, and then turn it off (on the phone for example) and edit out those contacts you don't want. Or, create groups in Contacts on the MBP, and turn the group(s) you don't wish to use off on the phone. Short of that, a manual entry into the phone is all I can suggest.

I entered the wrong e-mail address on my new IPAD how can I change it?

How to add a video to an ipad

How do i put a video from a windows computer to an ipad?

If you've reformatted your computer then as far as the iPad is concerned it's a new computer that it hasn't been synced to before, and iPads are designed to only be synved to one computer at a time. There are some instructions on this page for syncing to a new computer : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
Do you have a backup copy of your iTunes library that you can copy back onto your computer ? iTunes itself only allows you to copy downloads from iTunes (plus any epubs and/or PDFs in the iBooks app on a device) back via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. If you want to copy back, for example, music that you got from other sources (e.g. copied from CDs) then you will need a third-party program on your computer to copy them back - there are some listed half-way down this page : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

How to add address of Proxy Server

When using Safari and other internet applications on the iPhone I cannot access the internet pages on my iPhone but when I use Interenet Explorer on my Windows machine using the same internet address and the the same wifi connection all is OK. The wifi connect works OK because I can access email.
In Microsoft Internet Explorer the only way it works is by entering a proxy Server address. How can I set this for the iPhone?
Thanks Lachlan

Settings > Wi-Fi. Tap the little blue arrow at the right of the network you're connected to, then scroll down to HTTP Proxy, tap Manual and enter the server and port, or if you use an automatic proxy setting, tap Auto and enter the URL. You should be able to get that information from the settings in IE on your computer.
