In my endless effort to find an app to transfer epub books to and from my Mac to my iPad without hooking up cables or using iTunes sync, I have found a fantastic app called "Flick" that is easy to use and currently free for both.
The Flick app for Mac OS laptops and computers can be found here: Flick app for Mac OS.
The Flick app for iPad/iPhone can be found here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/flick./id644265534?mt=8
The website instructions and descripton are given here: http://getflick.io/
Within nano-minutes, I was able to install both apps, tap on an epub book on my Mac laptop, flick it to top of my menu bar, select it on my iPad and open with iBooks.
Have to give this one an A+ rating for ease of use and convenience. There also appears to be an Android and Linux version.
I was able to successfully transfer an mp3 file, epub file, and jpg without a problem. Enjoy!

Logging into the App Store Frustration
I have been having a problem logging into the App Store on my MacBook Air to perform updates. The problem started after my husband had logged onto my account and downloaded and app that he wanted to use on my machine.
I may have updated some of my apps while still logged into the App Store under his Apple ID. Anyway, I tried logging out of his account and back into my account and that is when the problem started. Basically, when I typed my Apple ID and password into the sign in page, the spinning wheel appeared and remained.
I called Applecare the first time this happened and when the technician suggested I log in and out - it worked fine. Go figure that. So, things went along merrily, until the other day when I decided to check for updates again. My husband's ID came up - I logged out of that account and then tried to log into my account. "Spinning Wheel" again.
Tried various things, nothing seemed to work. Then I tried the following:
I selected the "Quick Links" section under Top Charts and then clicking "Account". I logged into that form without problem. I then returned to the Updates screen and all the updates started loading and installing. Go figure. Vaguely this was the same sequence that the technician suggested. My other attempts (if memory serves me correctly) was to go to "sign in" first.
I will report back here, should I get a spinning wheel again and verify that this works a second time or not.
