MacBook pro to iPad?

Is there anyway I can transfer purchased apps from my MacBook to my iPad? I have iWork on my MacBook and want to put it on my iPad without having to pay for it again. Is this possible.

It would be possible if it would work. But it won't. The iPad version (if there is one) is written for a different CPU and Operating System than the Macintosh version.

That is Pages for iPad v2.0, which Pages '09 v4.3 can't read.
You need to either stick with the older version of Pages on the iPad or get Pages 5 for the Mac which is only available if you are running OSX 10.9 Mavericks.
Unfortunately that is not the end of your woes because Apple has made iCloud convert the files to Pages 5 now, and Pages 5 has over 90 features deleted on top of doing a shocking job of converting older Pages files.

try disabling email scanning for incoming mail.
One of the last things that occurs is the mail server and Thunderbird sign off on "where we are up to" and Thunderbird stores this state information in the popstate.dat file in your profile (there is one in each POP mail account folder). If the anti virus, or you for that matter, end the conversation a few seconds early that hand off does not occur and the popstate is not stored.

How can I sync my calendars on the MacBook Pro, iCloud, iPad and iPhone? Since upgrading to the newest OS on each device, none of the calendars sync. Any suggestions?

Hi silverk,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand the need for all of your calendars to be up to date across all of your devices and how frustrating it can be when they are not syncing as you would expect. In this situation I would suggest reading over and using the attached article for troubleshooting.

Have a great day,

I downloaded Lion from the app store on to my iMac and did not save it to a thumb before installing. Do I have to buy it again to install on my Macbook Pro and iPad or is there another way to do that?

I downloaded Lion from the App Store on to my iMac and did not save it to a thumb before installing. Do I have to buy it again to install it on my Macbook Pro and iPad, or is there another way to do that?
All my electronics are about a year old. iPad is Model MB293LL (4.2.1) only wi-fi - no phone.
MacBook Pro is OSX 10.6.8 Build 10K549. Also have an AT&T iPhone that I basically use as a Palm, since I changed carriers.
Thank you for your help.
ps: I got an error message and it looks like this did not get posted the first time. 2nd try.

Open the Mac App Store on your MacBook Pro
Hold the Option key and click on “Purchases”
Hold the Option key and click on “OS X Lion” from the purchased app list
“Installed’ should now say “Install” which allows you to download OS X Lion.
This assumes you are using the same Apple ID on both computers.
Lion does not get installed on an iPad. It runs iOS.

Apple devices will not print to Officejet 6700 including MacBook Pro and iPad

I am trying to help someone set up their MacBook Pro and iPad to be able to wirelessly print to their Officejet 6700. I recently set them up with a new Apple Airport Extreme for their router. The printer connects fine to the wireless network. Everything during the install process for the printer goes well, the MacBook easily sees the printer. The correct driver is installed. They also have a Windows 7 laptop that prints instanteously and has no issues whatsoever.
When I try to print from the Mac, nothing prints. I open the print queue and it shows "Printing - connected to printer..." and nothing ever comes of it. When trying to print from the iPad, it can see the printer and I select it. However, after telling it to print, the dialogue box just says "Connecting to Printer" and it never does - it just times out.
Things I've tried:
Everything in this article that is related to Macs (10.8).
Resetting the printing system on the Mac.
Resetting the printer to default settings.
Setting the static IP of the printer through the printer settings.
Setting the IP of the printer through the Airport Utility (after changing the printer to automatic).
Rebooting the Mac after each attempt to remove the printer and before adding again.
Using the official HP Officejet 6700 driver.
Using the Airprint driver.
Other info:
I can successfully ping the printer's IP address from the MacBook Pro.
I can easily see the web setup page for the printer both through the printer settings and by entering the IP address.
The printer is only about a month old.
They bought this printer because the previous one was having problems printing from all of their devices wirelessly. That was with a router from their previous ISP.
At this point, I'm completely stumped as to why the printer will not print from these Apple devices. We've dealt with every issue that could be causing it: the network, the printer, and the MacBook itself. I've looked online and can see no issues with people not being able to print to a wirelessly connected printer to an Airport Extreme. I've seen some issues when the printer is plugged in via USB to the Airport Extreme, but that is not our setup.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Thank you very much for your help @Sunshyn2005!!!!! I think we're good to go now!

Connect the iPad to your MBP and open iTunes. In the photos section of your iPad in iTunes you can choose selected albums, Events or the entire iPhoto library to sync to your iPad.

How can I create albums in the Photos app on the iPad
Photos that were taken with the iPad (or any photos in the camera roll) can be deleted right on the iPad. Tap the trash can icon in the top right corner if you are viewing the pho,to in full screen, or if you are viewing as thumbnails - tap the arrow in the upper right corner - tap the photos that you want to delete and then tap - Delete.
Photos that were synced from your computer using iTunes can only be deleted by de-selecting them from the folder from where they were synced - and then re-syncing.

For transferring videos you could use 'Video Transfer App'. I'm the developer of this universal application (iPhone/iPad) that let's you transfer videos from your iPad or computer directly to another iPhone or iPad.
The app is currently in the Top 25 iPad apps in the photography category.
Here are couple of videos that show how the app works:
