Thanks James.


IMac address book holds the phone numbers of our friends. Being oldfashioned these are not held in a phone memory. When I am on the iMac my partner wants to look up phone numbers on the ipad in a different room.


I am a bit wary of icloud, perhaps someone hacking into it would have secret access to my passwords? But would consider it if it would work. I suspect that it is not actually possible to see address book on ipad. Any advice very gratefully received.....Andrew

iCloud is no more or less secure than most online based services (in fact maybe more so than many). I've been using for quite sometime with no problems. Partucularlky with the Contacts lists which I share between an MBP, iPad and iPhone. Short of using it to synchronize those contacts lists, I don't know of any way to view the content of the iPad from another device.


You can read a bit more about iCloud here: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/


It does require that the devices you wish to synch with are all using the same AppleID for the general Mail,Contacts,Calendar function, but you can choose wich services you wish to synch (just Contacts for example).
