I recently purchased a Polaroid 9 inch tablet. I do have a couple of questions.


1) How to copy and paste from one site to another?

2) How to print?

3) How would I be able to save videos from youtube or dailymotion? Also what would I have to purchase so I could do that?


Now I dont know how to do these things because there were no directions telling how to do these things. Also, dumb it down for me because I'm not Computer savvy by any means.I have been working with Personal Computers for almost 39 years. So by now, I should be computer savoy.  You would think. But tablets have me over a stump. It is hard to fin the information you want.

Short answer. Find out how to get third party apps onto your table.  It is the apps that make a tablet easy to use. One app I like is DropBox. It is on of many cloud services that can be used to exchange data from disparate devices. I can put downloads into my DropBox and then get into it from my iPhone, my Amazon fire tablet and my RCA tablet.
It would seen to be faster using a direct cable. But width cable? Each device is different. They are all black  - and the connectors look almost the same. But they are not.

In My opinion, if the vendor gave  you a option for a RETURN or exchange, GO back and find one you like better.

Here is a list of the most popular tablets.

Notice the Apple,  Asus , HP,  Lenovo and Samsung are among the leaders. These top brands have forums and support groups that can help you.

One of the tablets I got was a brand not well  supported. So from now on I am looking for companies that already have a support system in place.
If you can not return the table, you might repackage it and give it as a gift to a youngster.
That is my frank advice.  You know you still have another active account on this site, yes?Is this the tablet you have?  http://www.polaroid.com/products/9-inch-tablet-A900X

What you left out of your first post is what OS your tablet is running, which, provided my link above is the correct tablet, we now know is Android 5.1.  Need to know what OS the tablet uses in order to answer your questions.

Here's a beginner's tutorial that may help you get started with using the Android OS: http://www.howtogeek.com/163624/welcome-to-android-a-beginners-guide-to-getting-started-with-android/.  It is phone based but tablets work the same way.

For your first question about cut and paste, see the last section of the tutorial regarding touch gestures.  For cut and paste you need to use what's referred to as a "long press".

Regarding printing, that isn't very clear cut.  Some printer mfrs provide apps you can get from Google Play (Android app store) that allow you to print from an Android device to their printer, maybe your printer's mfr has such an app.  There is another print method called Google Cloud print which will work with pretty much any printer but it is a little more involved in getting setup.  https://www.google.com/cloudprint/learn/

For your last question, do a search in the Play store for video downloader.  I did that and got a bunch of hits.

BTW, you can ACCESS the Google Play store from your PC here: https://play.google.com/store.  I find it much easier to search for apps and read about them on my PC than the small screen of a phone or tablet.  Once you find an app you can click on install and it will install it on your tablet.Good legwork there Strollin'...
