I have a new ipad and want to create files for my documents I brought over from my Mac. How do I create file folders?

I would like to create file folders for my documents I brought over to my ipad from my desktop Mac. I downloaded pages and neu.annotate. My files synced without a problem. PDF articles I put in neu.annotate and pages documents into pages but I would like to organize into folders like on my desktop. How can I do this on the ipad3?

Unlike a 'normal' computer the iPad doesn't have a file system and everything on it has to be stored/associated within an app, you can't have separate folders of documents/files on your iPad's homescreens. If the apps that you have support it then you could possibly use Dropbox to store your documents within a folder structure, but you'd then need internet access in order to access them.

How do I find the ipad password?

What password are you refering to? A passcode lock on the ipad itself or the password for your apple id?
If its a pascode lock, then:
If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode
iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
iOS- Understanding passcodes
If its your apple id, then:
My Apple ID

I have a new computer and want to use it for my IPhone - it wont just plug

I have upgraded to a newer PC What do I need to do to use my I phone with it. I thought I could just plug & play when I accessed my apple account on line! Help

Perhaps you could explain what the issue is?
You sync it the same way you did with your old computer.
When you sync to a different computer, it will first erase the content from the iphone and replace with content from the new computer, so make sure to copy everything from the old computer or your backup copy of the old computer to the new one first.

I have a new computer and want to down load previously purchased movies but can't find them. How do I do this.

Install iTunes. Login with your apple ID and click "iTunes store". Click "purchased" on the right and you should see all previously purchased content to download.

Haven't really used any of them including VLC - actually use netflix on the ipad more than anything. I was able to drop an mp4 into imovie on my ipad and see it there. This was something I had shot as avhcd and converted with turbo.264. Played fine. Probably not what you want for a movie player though.
Well, turbo.264 is indeed very nice to have - even for converting full-sized movies. (Nevertheless, TechRadar's latest roundup (see http://www.techradar.com/news/software/applications/6-of-the-best-video-converte rs-for-mac-1074303 ; also linked from another roundup at http://www.iphonelife.com/blog/87/benchmark-excellent-multimedia-converter-handb rake-vs-commercial-apps ) has shown it's still worse than HandBrake in most respects.)
All H.264 files (assuming they are H.264 level 4.1 or lower) are compatible with the built-in Videos app.

Those of you who use other players, what do you reccomend? Just curious.
It entirely depends on your needs. The top players (AVPlayerHD / ProPlayer, It's Playing, GoodPlayer) all have different strengths and weaknesses. I myself use It's Playing the most as I convert everything into MP4 and simply love the DSP's (brightness / volume / saturation boosting). (Its software decoders are definitely worse than those of AVPlayerHD / ProPlayer; however, MP4's are played back from hardware.)

I have a new iPad, and it wants to load all my old emails

I have a new ipad and now that I have added my gmail account to the pad, it thinks that all the old emails (12K) that I have read on my macbook should be treated as new emails. Is there a way to do a mass NO so that I don't keep getting the message "you have ... unread messages, do you want to download them now?"

Sounds like it is iMap, which functions by synchronizing clients (your Macs) to its server, the behaviour you're seeing is normal.
I guess the next question is 'how can I change that'
Make a folder outside of the iMap structure and move mail into it
And
I believe you can limit the iPad (only) to a fixed amount of mail (time delimited) to download, look in the settings for your Gmail account (on the iPad)

Hey (: I have the new iPad and I want to ask what is "healthier" for the battery : turn the device off in the night or keep it on during the night ? Thank you !

Hey (: I have the new iPad and I want to ask what is "healthier" for the battery : turn the device off in the night or keep it on during the night ? Thank you !

BTW, statements like
"Use the device until the battery has drained to the point of self-shutdown. Basically, use it until it turns itself off."
in articles like the one at http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/ are complete BS and if you do follow their "advice", your battery life will be severely hampered. Particularly if you also follow one of the comments: "Step One.One: Leave the device for 5+ hours before start charging. This will fully drain the battery." Well, the guy that advised the latter certanly doesn't know anyhting about lithium batteries and the damage deep discharging does to them.
Again, what the article (and the above-cited comment) advices is complete b*llsh*t and noone should really do this.

I have a new iPad and I'd like to upload my Microsoft Office from my desktop MAC so that I can sync them. Is that possible?

I have a new iPad and I'd like to upload my Microsoft Office from my MAC desktop so I can sync them. Is that possible?

Boyd is correct. You cannot install your Mac OS MS Office to the iPad and there is no official MS Office app.
I am assuming you want to edit Office documents on youy iPad. There are three apps that I would recommend you looking at. Please note that no app is going to give you the same experience as a desktop app.
1) Documents To Go by Dataviz - This is the one I have used since my Palm days. You can edit Word, Excel and Power Point documents. There are two versions. The basic one ($9.99) allows you to edit Word and Excel documents. The Premium version ($16.99) allows you to edit Word, Excel and Power Point documents. It also allows you to use Google Docs, Dropbox, Box.net, iDisk and Sugarsync.
2) Quickoffice is another popular choice. ($14.99) I do not have personal experience with this one, but alot of people have said it is a good app.
3) The last one is Office^2 ($7.99 http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/id364361728?mt=8) Again I do not have personal experience with this one, but he has gotten some good reviews.
If you are want an app to just view your documents, I would highly recommend looking at Goodreader for iPad. It allows you to view many types of file. It will also allow you to annotate PDF documents.
Good luck!!

I have a new computer and want to sync my Iphone and Ipad2 to the new computer, is there an easy way to do this?

I have a new computer and want to sync my Iphone and Ipad2 to the new computer (PC) instead of the old one, is there an easy way to do this?

Extract from one of our senior participant.
Syncing with new computer
1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
2) Now connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.

I have the newest IPad and want to download photos from my computer to the IPad. The instructions say to put photos under My Pictures, but I have thousands of photos in that category. I don't want to download all my photos, just the newest ones. Help!

I have the newest IPad and want to download photos from my computer. However, I have thousands of photos stored under My Pictures on my desktop. How can I transfer just the newest album to my IPad? I'm afraid that all the photos will be downloaded. Please advise.

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

You want to restore from the backup. Do not set up as new. You can read the article that Tom posted above, but it really is pretty simple.
Transfer any purchases from the old iPad into iTunes, backup the old iPad in iTunes and them sync one more time.
Connect the new iPad and when prompted during activation, restore from the backup that you just created and then sync with iTunes.
The new iPad should be identical to the old iPad, but you will have to enter some passwords again on the new device.
Transfer purchases.
