Can a CD be downloaded onto an iPad Tablet?

I have one further question: is there an adapter available that allows me to use a thumb drive with my iPad ? Thanks again for your support.....

My iPad is used almost entirely without live internet. FilesPro, iBooks, etc. are great for that.

Thanks for mentioning that, I would prefer to access the contents of the CD on my iPad without the necessity of using wifi. However, Dropbox sounds like a good program to use if I must be online. That would work but not ideal. I'll download it anyway. At any rate I've learned a lot here. I'm new to iPad and the MAC OS but constantly learning. Thanks to all...

I'm more familiar with the Android platform and apps. Have been using a similar file app ES File Explorer File Manager that allows transfer of files using local WiFi. No internet connection necessary.

I was going to question the moderator's comment about the two programs he listed not needing internet connection to transfer files but upon re-reading his entry, I see what he is saying and I agree that the two programs work on local wifi as well.

Dropbox would be the easiest if you have an internet connection? If just using WiFi, then an app such as Feem WiFi File Transfer - Free or Files n Folders, though have not personally used either.

Another vote for Drop Box. I put about every thing on there I want to share between iPad and laptop.

Look into DropBox. Once installed on your PC and IPad you can simply place the file(s) on your PC into the dropbox folder and they will be available on your IPad. I use it to view word, excel files. If you have an IPhone you can install Dropbox on there to and it will be there too.

Yep, dropbox is the only way to go IMHO. I keep copies of all my important stuff on dropbox and I can access it from anywhere on any :)device.
