So I’m just learning how to use an iPad actually in general so hopefully someone can help me with a few questions I have.

1.) How to save a photo from online (say an image from Google images) and save it to my “Photos” app ?

2.) Since there is no “finder” and no “music” app, how can I transfer MP3’s from my iPad to my iPhone ?

3.) Anyway to get show the bookmarks bar in Chrome ?

4.) My iCloud Keychain is enabled but for some reason none of my Safari passwords are not showing up when visiting websites. My favourites and bookmarks are though. How can I get them to show in auto fill ?

So that’s it for now.

Thanks a lot.

1. Long press and choose “add to photos” if this option exist.

2. Either use third party file manager or airdrop between your iPad and your iPhone using files app, assuming those MP3 files are not inside your iPhone music app. If they do, paid apps like nPlayer can help you out.

3. Not sure about that one so sorry.

Hey thanks a lot. So all my MP3’s are on my external SSD that is plugged into my iPad. Do I need a paid app to get them from there to my iPads & iPhones Music. Note than I’m not a Apple Music subscriber so all my music does not sync automatically on each Music app on each device.

Also, my iCloud Keychain is enabled but for some reason none of my Safari passwords are not showing up when visiting websites. My favourites and bookmarks are though. How can I get them to show in auto fill ?

Thanks.
 
I think the only way to get MP3 or any other file into the native music apps on iOS and iPadOS is to import them to a computer running a compatible version of Music App / iTunes. Maybe there’s a third party music app that has this ability, but I haven’t heard of one so far.
 
3. No way you can show it. One of the reasons I moved to Safari.

Figured. Thanks a lot.

Ya that’s what it looks like. Since I subscribe to YouTube Premium it also includes YouTube Music so I’ve been trying that. The problem is not all my songs are available on YouTube Music (song only version).

Umm. There are paid apps on windows/macOS that can do that. You can also use finder (Catalina)/ iTunes (everywhere else) to sync your music to your iPad.

iCloud Keychain nowadays need 2FA to enable. If you have 2FA then try to enable it again. But after enabling, you can disable 2FA if you just start using 2FA in the last two weeks or keep it for “better security”.
 
It might also say "Save Images" or something along those lines.

Yup you’re right, still worked. Thanks.

Ya that’s the problem I don’t have a PC or Mac. Oh well it’s all good.

So weird about the Safari passwords too because I checked and my 2 step verification was on but still didn’t work. I went and did the 13.5 update and now it works...

Thanks for the help.
