Where are downloads stored on an iPad2? Downloaded a PDF file ,opened it but can't figure out where downloads such as these are stored for later retrieval. On an iMac, I can choose a folder to save to or save to the desktop. Thanks
iPad 2, iOS 5.0.1
There is no central file store in an iOS device as there is in Mac OS X. Documents are stored within the relevant app. What did you use to download this PDF?
Unless you copied it (via 'open in') to another app then it won't be stored on the iPad e.g. if you opened it in Safari then it is only in Safari's cache and won't be accessible.
If you download the iBooks app to the iPad then you should be able to use 'open in' to copy the PDF to the that - just open the PDF in Safari, tap on it, and you should get 'open in iBooks' appear at the top. Similarly in Mail you should be able to 'open in' PDF attachments to the iBooks app. They should then copy to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases
Thank you. It was a PDF available on a website. I was able to save it to the bookshelf,so thank you. Now I will have to experiment with other forms of information, ie: docs, etc and see how that works so it becomes second nature. Thanks again. Jk
Thanks a lot. The PDF , which I downloaded from a company's website was able to be saved to the bookshelf. Now it's a matter of practice for me to make saving this way second nature. Thanks again.jk
Can you help me to find my photos..Im jus learning the iPad and don't know where ther going
They should be in the Photos app :
That should contain photos that you've taken with your iPad, plus those copied to it via the camera kit, saved from emails/websites or synced to the iPad via your computer's iTunes. If they aren't in there then what sort of photos were they ?
DO not ask me
Where are downloads stored?
