Hello Richard,

You use iTunes to sync the file to your iPad.

When iPad connected to Mac, click iPad name in File List on left, if no file
list, click View Menu/Show Sidebar.

Click the App Tab and scroll down to File Sharing Heading.

Select FileMaker Go and you get a Browser Window, navigate to the File and
select it.

Now do a Sync and the files should be in FMGo.

Subject: How To Find a File on an iPad

Please bear with me if this is a hopelessly naive question. I've owned an
iPad for 3 days now and have been fiddling with an existing database for 2
days, and today's the day I got to try moving it off of my Mac and onto the
iPad. The documentation suggested that I close the file and e-mail it to
myself. I did that, and the e-mail duly arrived on my iPad, I pressed the
download icon, and the progress bar dutifully reported that all 8.0 MB had
been downloaded. So now I go to my desktop and try to find the file. Nada. I
fire up FileMaker Go and look for a File > Open command. Nada. The "Working
with Files" section of the help screen says "Tap the filename in the Files
on Device list." I go there and see the stock FMI-supplied starter
solutions: Assets, Contacts, Content Management, Getting Started, and Tasks.
My own file? Nowhere to be seen.
 
Where is it? Where did it go? How can I get at it?
 
For 2 companies normally as user-friendly as Apple and FileMaker, this is a
hugely user-hostile experience.
