Copying to an iPad edit

How can I automatically copy a spreadsheet ('Numbers') from my Mac laptop to my iPad please? Thanks in anticipation.85.211.134.120 (talk) 08:13, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

One option is to use iTunes File Sharing to transfer your iWork documents. Another option is to save the document to iCloud, and the Mac and iPad will both automatically have the most current revision at all times. Here are setup instructions for iCloud. To use Documents in the Cloud, your Mac needs OS X 10.7.4 or newer. Nimur (talk) 15:27, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for this but neither option works for my iPad but my wife's mini iPad gets the transfer without any action by me! What might be going on I wonder?85.211.134.120 (talk) 06:37, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You might have to have the same iTunes account in use on the Mac and apple device for the iCloud to sync. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 10:49, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Automatizing tasks or creating macros for web browsers edit

Is there something like Autohotkey but more suited towards web browser automation? Maybe JavaScript bookmarklets or Selenium? Thanks. --Immerhin (talk) 18:49, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
