meara, I have found that to be true of every hotel I've ever stayed in. In-room internet, wired or wireless, is always clunky and slow.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

java, thanks for the offer, but I did a character estimate and it wasn't enough; I doubled it and it still wasn't enough; tripled it and it still wasn't enough. I did the estimate by creating a Word file with dummy text and the appropriate number of words, got the character count, added about half. And, as I said, there didn't seem to be any setting that would provide enough. Either they're overwriting or there's a glitch in there.

Hmmm, I did wonder about the overwriting! Silly people! Okay, but if you get stuck in the future, let me know. I've got special publishing tools for pdfs (Adobe and Word publishing are my specialty).

huh ... how about I send you the rasenfrasen file - if you could take a look at it and tell me where I went wrong (or the program screwed up)? I'd really appreciate it.

Grr. I spent all of this time downloading random stuff from iTunes to watch on my trip and for some reason, I can't find it on the iPad. When I go to the videos icon, it says that I have nothing in the library. when I go back to iTunes, it says that the eps have already been downloaded.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
My things either show up in Videos or ITunes U. I know all videos default to "movies" though. Which is annoying when I know the files of tv shows are clearly right in iTunes. Maybe they are hiding there?

On my iPad, when I go into Videos, I have three sections listed at the top: Movies, TV Shows and Music Videos.
I know there's an option in iTunes to not include video files in your sync. Did you check that?

Vortex,
did you download the stuff from your ipad or your computer?
connect the ipad to your computer and check out how much space you have on the ipad. how much space is for videos?
it is probably a syncing problem.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
When you are in the iTunes app and you tap on Purchased (the one at the bottom next to Downloads, not the button within Downoads which seems to go somewhere else), do they show up there? Changing the View between Movies, TV Shows and Music seems to crash the app, btw.
