I have many Word Docx and Excel spreadsheets. Can I transfer my PC docs and sreadsheets to the iPad, or will I have to buy additional software to have complete sync between my PC and iPad?
Can the ipad 2 sync with my PC docs and spreadsheets?
I am considering the purchase of the iPad 2, but I have mant docs and spreadsheets from years/decades of PC use.
Can I sync (upload my docs) from my PC to the iPad?
P.S. I know nothing about computers.

Thanks, Demo. You are right about iCloud, but it didn't work for me. I discovered the reason was a conflict with how my my mobileme account was setup ... a problem many others seemed to have. Apparantly both mobileme and icloud were attempting to back up my data, and mobileme turned off iCloud from Numbers setting every time I opened a spreadsheet. Once I deleted my mobileme account, icloud worked as it should. Appreciate your help. It got me to look for and solve the underlying problem.

Did I miss something in the fine print? I installed Lion and and come to find out, I can no longer open any Word documents or Excel spreadsheets as they are no longer supported (apparently because they are PowerPC apps). Seriously?!?!?!?!! What are my alternatives?
Hi Mary and Matthew
You might find it helpful to "try before you buy" - there is a 30 day free trial offer for Office for Mac 2011, accessible from M's .com website.
You may be able to use this period to open and resave your old documents in a format that enables you to switch instead to using Apple's iWorks apps moving forward.
I initially intended to do something similar, but ended up buying Office as it provided an easier way (for me, at least) to continue working with years worth of old emails, letters, spreadsheets and other documents (from my PC days) without risking damage to their integrity, formatting, etc. -
How can I transfer photos from an IPhone 5 to an IPad 2 using a cable. I have tried using the lightning to firewire adapter with my current lead but this only seems to allow a download from the IPad to the IPhone and not the other way around.
The devices are not designed for transfer of that kind. Use Photo Stream as suggested by another poster, or transfer photos to your computer (a good idea anyway since they will be lost if your device needs to be reset), then use iTunes to sync them to the other devices.

I'm trying to work in numbers on an Excel spreadsheet that I e-mailed to it. Numbers moves the graphs and charts around. How do I get it to transfer cleanly into numbers?
If you really need to work in excel and you need to collaborate with others in excel you should avoid the frustration and use excel. I would only recommend using Numbers if you are using it to open a file you do not intend to open in excel again OR if the document is very simple. If you paycheck or grade depends on Numbers importing or exports from/to excel you should use excel directly.

How can I transfer video taken with my iPhone to my iPad WITHOUT using a computer or iTunes? I'm going to Europe for a month and want to use my iPhone to take pics and video, then come back to the hotel room and use my iPad to edit/store each evening. I don't want to use my iPad to take the video...too large/bulky. And I WON'T have a computer with me...I purchased the iPad to take with me so I could use the RDC to my home computer and avoid taking my computer at all. Is this possible?
here is a cheaper solution than camera kit and a lot easier if you have WIFI available.
I use the PhotoSync APP (I think its a $1.99) will transfer videos and photos over WIFI to any other IOS device or even PC/MAC. Great app since I like doing video and photos on my IPHONE and transfer to IPAD2 without synching through computer or doing cloud based storage.
You can even send photos/videos from your MAC/PC to your IOS devices that way too. Makes it so much easier.

My iPad has been locked because I forgot my passcode and now I can't do Restore because I need to open the iPad first. What to do?
You may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset it via your computer's iTunes and restore your last backup to it

How can I transfer photos from my Windows computer to my Ipad.
I already have the photos transfered into a photo stream file.
How to activate the transfer ?Hey Juergen119,
I would recommend syncing your photos from your computer to your iPad by using iTunes:
iTunes: Syncing photos
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
First, if you want to set it up to work via iCloud, I would check and make sure My Photo Stream is set up correctly on your devices:
To use My Photo Stream you need an iCloud account, compatible devices, and up-to-date software:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5.1 or later
Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and iPhoto 9.2.2 or Aperture 3.2.3 or later
Apple TV (2nd generation) with Apple TV Software Update 5.0 or later
PC with Windows 7 or later and the iCloud Control Panel 2.1 or later for Windows
For complete iCloud setup instructions, visit How to set up iCloud.
Then, once it is set up, you can upload your photos to My Photo Stream by following these directions:
PC with iCloud Control Panel 2.0 or later: Open a Windows Explorer window and under Favorites select iCloud Photos if you are using iCloud Control Panel 3.0 (or Photo Stream if you are using 2.0 to 2.1.2). Open My Photo Stream. Click the "Add photos" button. Select the photos to import to My Photo Stream, then click Open.

Saving a Photoshop CC project from a Mac (in .PSD format) to a thumb drive and trying to transfer it to a Dell laptop with Photoshop CS6. Will not open...Error message: could not complete your request because it is not a valid photoshop document.

In my iPad 2 with IO6 today I can not send emails from my gmail account, they go to the outbox directly...why? How can i solve this problem? ..I restarted the IPad but the problem was not solved. Please help.
Greetings,
Questions:
1. What version of the Mac OS are you running (Apple > About this Mac)?
2. What version of the iOS are you running (Settings > About)?
3. Do you use MobileMe/ iCloud or another server based sync solution like Google or Yahoo?
4. Do other changes to synced information like Address Book content sync successfully back and forth?
Based on your description it sounds like you have a 1 way sync issue. Events sync fine between the iOS devices and fine from the computer to the iOS devices but not from the iOS devices to the computer.
Try:
Backup your computer and iOS devices before doing anything else:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
Ensure all the devices in use are fully up to date: Apple > Software Update / Settings > General > Software Update
Make separate backups of critical data:
Backup your computer Addressbook: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad961.html
Backup your computer iCal: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2966
Reset syncing on your Mac: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
Reply back if that does not resolve your issue.
Hope that helps. -
TS3899 How can I place an attachment onto outgoing emails on the iPad ?
How can I place an attachment onto outgoing emails on the iPad ?
If it's a photo or video, you type out your mail then hold your finger down in the body of the mail to get the pop up to attach a photo.
If it's another kind of file you have to open it in the app it 'lives' in....for example your word processing app for a document, then look for the little box with the arrow, tap that and you should have the option to send that file to be mailed. -
How can I transfer contacts from an iPhone to a new iPad with another Apple-ID?
How can I transfer contacts from my iPhone to a new iPad with another Apple-ID?
You can't. Not directly anyway. You might be able to import them to your computer and then sync them to the iPad but there is no way to transfer them over the air or by connecting the two devices with a cable.
I know absolutely nothing about apps like this, but I did a very quick Google search and found this.

How can I transfer pictures from my MacBook Pro to my iPad mini please?
How can I transfer pictures from my MacBook Pro to my iPad mini please?
If you are on iTunes 11 on your Mac then you may want to re-enable the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar, which might make it easier to navigate and may instructions may make more sense.
To sync photos, connect and select your iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes (if you've enabled the sidebar), and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
If you haven't enabled the sidebar, then from your library click 'iPad' at the top right of the screen and you should get a series of buttons along the top of the screen, including one for Photos -
