[QUOTE="wingsandsword, post: 5653023, member: 14159"] My wife got me a bit of an early birthday present this year, she surprised me with a brand new iPad 2, 16 GB. I'd been curious about getting one for a while, I liked a lot of things I thought I could do with it. Now I'm trying to fight the too-helpful software to get it to do the things I need it to do. So, could I get some fellow ENWorlders here to tap the brain trust and help me figure out some things: 1. How can I select which songs I want to upload? iTunes takes every .mp3 and .wav file automatically and dumps them into a library and uploads them. Well, I don't want all my various sound effects .wav's and such on there, and I've got a lot of music I don't want on my iPad because I've only got 16 GB of space there and would rather pare down my 6 GB of music files to the 3 or 4 GB I listen to more regularly for portable use. I've tried to find how to delete the songs from the device directly, and am afraid if I tell iTunes to delete it from the library, it will delete it from the computer. 2. How can I upload .pdf's to the device to take them and read them? I've got several gigs of gaming books in .pdf I'd like to have as a portable library, not to mention lots and lots of work-related manuals that would be handy to pull out. Using my iPad as a .pdf reader was one of the main reasons I wanted one, and currently I can't figure out how to do this. 3. Can anybody recommend particularly good apps for gaming, especially for a 3.5e fan? Good dice rollers, ect. I saw that the website [url=http://www.d20srd.org/]The Hypertext d20 SRD (v3.5 d20 System Reference Document) :: d20srd.org[/url], which I go to regularly as a good SRD reference, has an app of the SRD, but it's $11.99, which is a lot for just taking a website of the SRD and making it an offline version.
