I only use a desktop computer, so I don't know anything about the IPads, etc. Can anyone tell me how somebody with an IPadAir can copy an article from another website, and post it here on the forum?

Are there simple steps using the IPadAir to do this, that are easy to understand? Thanks for any advice you can give. :)
 

I searched for youtube tutorials SB, but most were about videos/music. An IPad, if it has a USB port, may transfer from file manager to file manager. Someone will have one here and know for sure though;)

There is a manual for the Ipad Air if you want to get that downloaded free, if you don't have one. That could help to, but I love the tutorials folks make on youtube, but as I said, I didn't find one for you dern it:(
 
Thanks Denise, a manual is so involved, I was hoping someone could just give simple directions on how to copy from one site, and post here?
 

This is just for the article, unless you want to copy the link to the article than that's just a matter of highlighting the link and pasting it here the same as usual. No easy answer, but this was pretty good at least for starters..

 
The video AprilT posted above is very good. The process is basically the same with doing it on computer: select the content and "copy", then "paste" into the post draft. "Select" certain part of a long article, e.g. the whole article except the first paragraph, can be very frustrating. I hate editing on iPad.
 
Denise, sometimes I find things right away, sometimes I could be there all day, it varies at times, what I type in. This time it was my third way I phrased it that got me that hit with some others in about 5+ minutes or maybe 10+ minutes, you loose track of time on that place once you get started. LOL
 
Thanks Denise, April and Matrix, the information is much appreciated! :thanks:
 
Not much we can't get help with right here on SF;) I got all that help on my Radiator, and have gotten tons of other help. Who says you can't have real friends online;) nite all, I'm playing my birthday Hidden Object game, way fun;) ttyt all, denise PS I may be back, LOL!!
 
Goodnight Denise, you don't have to convince me that you can have real friends online, although there are some non-believers out there, lol! :yes:
 
This may be a stupid question, but once you've copied the article onto your IPadAir, how do you move/transfer it into a post on a forum? Is that easy to do?
 
Before I head back to my resting spot, I'll give it a try.

Try following the same steps in the video, highlight the article hit copy, open forum window, reply to thread, hit paste. Or if you just want to post a link to the article, same procedure but just highlight the link and post it in the new window, (forum window)

You can give it a try and see it that works. If not, hopefully someone else offers a better suggestion or when I come back, I'll look for another solution, for now, time to rest mode to shake whatever flu like symptoms have gotten hold of me. It's not the flu, I'm pretty certain of what's happening to me, just hope it doesn't last more than a week this time around.

Good luck Sea.

It will be in the forum if you're signed in on your IPad, just like posting to the forum on another computer SB, if I'm understanding the question that is;) hugs, denise
 
Oh, I may have misunderstood, the IPAD is just like a computer only no keyboard, but you can get them, small ones. So you do your copy function, and paste it into the forum. If it's saved, which you must have done that in a "file manager", then on the forum just click or touch the "attachment" icons we have. Or copy and paste from your file manager. I think that is how you would do it.

I thought you meant how to get it from your Ipad to another computer, duh, sorry bout that.
 
She talks fast but does show you step by step on copy and paste. Just stop, back up the vid, whatever. Way better then me giving you direction, LOL!!


 
I'm such a dork, I sent you the same vid April had, sorry Seabreeze, the thing that throws me is the touch screens, everything is touch this or that instead of hit a key or two. I think it is way smart to NOT get a keyboard, and just learn the touch functions. Keyboards are cumbersom, and by just using your "all in one" IPad, you have it all setup NOW and anywhere you go, one piece of equipment;) hugs, denise
 
I never used anything but a desktop, not even a laptop...never used a touchscreen at all. I think for my lifetime, the desktop will suffice, as I don't do too many different things online, and I likely would have no interest in all the apps, etc. I imagine the most I would get is a regular laptop sometime in the future, only if I became ill and couldn't get out of bed very well, etc. I know...old fashioned fuddy-duddy here, lol. ;)

I use my desk top in the morning. It holds the majority of my pictures/files. I then bought a Kindle Fire 7"..Worked with it for about 2 years, reading,games,traveling and the web. Loved it!! Then,about a year ago,graduated to a 10" Asus Tablet..Mainly for the bigger screen and camera. The tablet sits on the coffee table in the living room. I use it a lot!!! Under $175 !!!!
