You just sync it with iTunes as you would an iPod or iPhone and the USB
cable is the obvious way to do it.
You'll probably want to change some prefs as soon as iTunes sees the iPad
or you won't have much control over what gets copied.

Connect your iPad to the MacBookPro using your charger cable & open iTunes. You will see the iPad listed in the sidebar under devices. Click on that & then on the Music tab at the top of the page. From there you can select what music you want to sync to your iPad.

...and after you are done syncing, remember to "eject" your iPad using the iPad icon under devices from within iTunes. After you eject the iPad, you can safely disconnect it from your computer.

We are setting up an NAS network storage PC. I have 2 questions.
1. In the past we used windows 2000/2003 for this. 2008 has dropped support for Services for Macintosh. The NAS will be primarily used by macs. Has anyone had good/bad experiences using SMB connections from SnowLeopard?
2. In the past we have carved the drives into 2tb volumes. Has anyone used larger volumes (say 4tb) using SMB on NAS?
Thanks for any help.

This post is prompted by this article:
http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/businesstechnology/
2018623433_ptmacc07.html
Long story short, the author argues that the ability to fix/upgrade
your Mac yourself, or to have it worked on by an independent tech, is
on the way out. He goes on to say that this could pose problems for
users who have a Mac that's out of warranty and needs a repair
costing more than the residual value.
This concerns me because this will probably be the year I replace my
old G4 iMac. It's been reliable, and I've had it in the (independent)
shop only once, to upgrade the HD and RAM and replace the original CD
burner with a DVD burner. I would certainly get Applecare Protection
Plan with the new Mac (which will probably be an iMac), but there's
still the possibility of an out-of-warranty failure. I would really
need the new Mac to last me about as long as the current one has.
My real concern is the hard drive. Based on a thread a few months
back (with participation by Randy Singer), given the reliability
record of today's hard drives, I lean towards pre-emptively having
the HD replaced every so often, before it fails. I'd hope that this,
if nothing else, would be reasonably straightforward.

Seems overkill to me. Just make sure you have clone AND Time Machine
backups. While your main hard drive is kaput you boot from the clone.
Seems wasteful to replace a perfectly good drive just for the heck of
it. Besides, let's say you do get a new drive preemptively, you then
will clone your backup to it to get your data onto it. How is this
different from cloning your backup onto it when you really do need a
new drive?

I have the 500GB spinning drive that came with my MBP, plus a 240GB SSD I added a couple of months ago. I clone them regularly to two partitions on an external 1TB FireWire drive (which then gets backed up elsewhere) but I currently clone one drive and then the other. It sure would be nice to be able to do them at the same time. I have CCC and SD! but haven't found a way to use either of them for this. Hmm…instead of *either* of them, could I use *both* of them? Have CCC clone one drive while at the same time SD! clones the other?
I can't think why not. Why not try it and report back on your findings. My bet is that it will work just fine.

Yes it will, but it will be slow because of contention, especially on disk
access.

Thanks for all the input, folks. I'm leaning in the direction of thinking it probably won't hurt anything but also won't do much good since both are backing up to the same drive.
I think for now I'll just continue doing it sequentially.

A little while back Software Update had an update for Epson printer drivers and since I use Epson large format printers I did the update. It has screwed up my printers. Is there a way to reverse the update or at least find the date of the update so I can go back with time machine?

Dick,
For large format printing, I use the OEM driver, not the drivers supplied by Apple. I use Canon large format printers and the Canon drivers and plugins. The Apple drivers are mostly GutenPrint drivers and they don't support some of the important features you will probably want.
Go the the Epson website and download their latest OEM driver and other software for your printer model and O/S. That is definitely what I would do.
I use the Apple drivers for small desktop printers where color and features are less critical.
That doesn't directly answer the question you asked, but I hope it is helpful.

Thank you everyone for the very helpful information!
I researched the top finance software list this forum provided.
I am looking at See Finance, iBank, and Quicken.
I don't want to get Quicken again. That would be the easiest, but I feel like I would be postponing the inevitable.
I watched a Youtube video on reconciling iBank and was concerned about all the old Quicken data. I read the instructions for See Financial, but no video.
I've read alot of reviews but alot were critical of investing and downloading issues that I don't do on Quicken.
I am simply using it for checking, savings and a credit card. I do not download info from the bank. I manually enter transactions and manually reconcile it on the computer.
With that in mind, I need to justify spending $60s on iBank, instead of $30 See Finance.
Knowing me, I will probably be somewhat disappointed with either after using Quicken for so many years. I'd better learn to embrace change. I have to let go of my OS9 Photoshop and old Quark layout/publishing applications too. There is probably much better software out there, I just need to learn it.
Thanks again for everyone's help!

Actually, Carrie, you'll have to buy it before you learn it. For me, at least, that's an important obstacle.

I was in the same dilemma as you and the same requirements, so I tried quite a number of financial programs already mentioned in earlier posts, but ultimately I settled on Quicken Essentials for the Mac. I found it to be the easiest Program to use, intuitive, and basically enjoyed using it more so than iBank and the others.
