RT manual on the iPad

[Lamonster]

I shot a little video of the RT manual on iBooks, it really is a great way to look up stuff. If you have a iPad, iPod, or iPhone you can drop a PDF into iBook and read it like this. :doorag:

Yep, the only way to go. I have all of my manuals for stuff like guns, electronics and of course the Spyder on mine for easy viewing.

Think I had a bad link. pps: Should be good now.

Great idea. :2thumbs: I have my owner's manual for the RT and various other devices/toys on my laptop and on my Nook Color.

Where do you get the PDF version of the manual you showed on the iPad?

 

[dave01]

I bought mine off ebay. Came on a cd and it is very informative

:thumbup: One of the first things I did before the Chicago Owner's Event was to purchase a netbook, and load the shop manual and owner's guide. Having the information available on the road is invaluable, even if it is just a tool to help you talk intelligently to the technician. I'm not high tech enough to have a smart phone, so the netbook filled the niche.

Here's how I do it.

• copy file from your CD/DVD to your hard drive
• open itunes
• look on the left for "Books" and click on it
• fine the pdf file on your computer and drag it over to "Books"
• plug your iPad into your computer and then sync your ipad to your computer

Lamont,

I have the latest iTunes on my Imac and it doesn't show "Books". What am I missing?

I checked again, I have an app. GoodReaderUSB in my downloads that I can use. I'm thinking iBooks is an app. that you have to purchase to be used with iTunes.

Go into iTunes/Edit/Preferences. Under the "General" tab yu will see Books in the Library section. Check that box and it should show in the sidebar.

For whatever reason, I had to download the free IBooks app and it now shows in ITunes in the index on the left.

Howdy,

Is there a PDF version of the RT Operator's Guide (not the shop manual)? I had one for my previous GS. I think it was on the DVD. I can't seem to find one for the RT.

Thanks,

David
