**1. How do I install FREE apps to the iPad?**
Because the district does not allow downloading of apps directly to the device using the district network, you must download the app to your computer first and then sync. You do not have to have your device plugged in to download from iTunes, but you will have to have it attached to sync.
 * 1) Launch iTunes
 * 2) Go to iTunes Store in the sidebar
 * 3) Click App Store at the top of the window
 * 4) Navigate to the app you wish to download (realize you can skip steps 1 - 4 if you have a link that takes you directly to the app)
 * 5) Click the "Free App" button
 * 6) Enter in your password
 * 7) A Downloads category will appear while the application is downloading. Once it has completed downloading, make sure your device is plugged into your computer
 * 8) Select the iPad from devices
 * 9) Go to the Apps tab (NOT the one in the sidebar)
 * 10) Make sure there is a checkmark by the app you just downloaded.
 * 11) Sync

**2. How do I remove apps from the iPad?**
On the iPad, you can tap and hold down on the icon until it wiggles, then click on the x in the corner and confirm that you wish to delete the app. Through iTunes:
 * 1) Plug in your iPad
 * 2) Select it under "devices" in iTunes
 * 3) Select the Apps tab towards the top of the window
 * 4) UNcheck the app you wish to remove
 * 5) Sync your iPad

**3. How come I when I remove an app, I still see it in iTunes?**
There are two places that you will see apps within iTunes. In the sidebar, there is an Apps option. This shows all of the apps on your hard drive, whether or not they're installed on any device. When you plug in a device (iPod, iPad, iPhone), you can select that device and then go to the Apps tab at the top of that window. This will again show all of the apps on the computer, but only the ones with checkmarks are actually on your device. To remove an app completely from iTunes, you need to select Apps from the SIDEBAR, find the app and delete it.

**4. How do I rearrange the apps on the iPad?**
//On the iPad directly:// Make 'em wiggle! First, tap on any application icon and hold your finger down until all of the icons start to wiggle. Let go of the app and then you can tap and drag the app to any location and/or any page. There can be no spaces between apps, so you can place an icon in the lower right corner, for example, unless that page is full of apps. You can make folders of apps by dragging on app on top of another until it looks like the apps gets sucked into the other. Let go and it will open up the newly created folder to give you the opportunity to change the folder name. You can move apps into and out of folders. No folder can be empty so your folder will disappear when you drag out the last app. //Using iTunes on the computer:// It's much easier, in my opinion, to organize your apps in iTunes. You must have your device plugged in, and it's a good idea to sync before rearranging just to make sure all of the new apps have been installed, and any apps that you wanted removed are removed. On the Apps tab (NOT from the sidebar), you are given a virtual view of your iPad. You can navigate from page to page. When you hover your mouse over an app icon in iTunes, an x will appear in the corner. Clicking this x will remove the app from your iPad. Click and drag the apps around and create folders just as if you were doing so on the iPad directly. Once you've organized the way you want, click the Apply button. If you don't like all of the changes you made, you can click the Revert button and the apps will be put back in their original places.

**6. I know I've entered my password correctly. Why won't iTunes let me download?**
If you're on the iPad inside the district, well... you can't download. But if you're on your computer, remember that your computer has to know you're a staff member. You do not have to be logged in as you, but you DO need to have a machine that is bound to the network. If you get a network error message when downloading, try logging out, logging in again as yourself or another staff member. Just for grins, launch a web browser and make sure that you can get to a staff only site like YouTube. Once you've established that connection to the staff domain, log back out of the machine (do not restart) and log back in with the account you're using for synching your iPad (assuming it's not a student account). You should now be able to download apps.

**6. How do I add a web site to my screen to look like an application?**
The web site will now be on your home screen where you can put it on another page or into a folder.
 * 1) Open Safari on the iPad
 * 2) Navigate to the web site you want to save like an application
 * 3) At the top of the page, near the address bar, tap on the + symbol
 * 4) Tap Add to Home Screen
 * 5) Change the title if it doesn't already suit you
 * 6) Click Add

**7. How do I move a document I created on my computer to use on the iPad?**
The iPad won't just take any kind of document. And it would be hard to cover every kind of document in every kind of application. So this will assume you're using an iWork document such as Pages, Keynote or Numbers. Remember that this creates a COPY of your document. These are two separate documents. When you make a change on one, it will not affect the other.
 * 1) Plug in your iPad
 * 2) Select it under "devices" in iTunes
 * 3) Select the Apps tab
 * 4) Scroll down to File Sharing
 * 5) Select the appropriate application
 * 6) Click the Add button
 * 7) Navigate to your document you wish to copy
 * 8) Click Choose

**8. How do I move a document I created on the iPad to use on the computer?**
Remember that this creates a COPY of your document. These are two separate documents. When you make a change on one, it will not affect the other.
 * 1) Launch the appropriate app on the iPad
 * 2) If you have the document open, tap the My Documents button on the upper left
 * 3) When your document shrinks to show buttons at the bottom, select the first button - the box with the arrow pointing out of it
 * 4) You can choose "Email Document" if you want to send the document as an attachment. Remember that your email must be set up on the device.
 * 5) You can choose "Send to iTunes" and the document will appear in iTunes. Remember your iPad will need to be plugged into your laptop. To find the document:
 * 6) select the iPad under "devices" in iTunes
 * 7) select the Apps tab
 * 8) scroll down to File Sharing
 * 9) select the appropriate application
