Default What is the Process for buying tutorial?

I have never purchased a tutorial before. I have my eye in several. What happens once I purchase one? Does it get emailed to me and I can access/download whenever I want or is it a one time thing that I would open and download to my computer of choice and that's the only access I have to it?

I ask this because my laptop is at the shop right now so I've been using my iPad. I want my tuts on my laptop but I want to start using them now.

It depends on the shop and file size.
Some email you a PDF file of the tutorial.
Others email you a password to download the tutorial from a website.
Usually the password is only good for a limited time.

Most tuts will give you a Limited time to download, or a limited # of downloads.

I usually download the tut to my desktop first, print it out, take it off the desktop and load it to my IPad. My color printer doesn't have wifi, so this way I can get my printed copy, and have it on my iPad for easy access as well.

HTH!

You can download it to your iPad and then email the pdf file to yourself.

Mina, if you have problems with a tutorial downloading to your iPad, the seller should work with you to make sure you get the file. I've had several people contact me saying they couldn't download the tutorial to the iPad, but once I emailed the file to them and they put it on their computer, they were then able to put it on their iPad.

I open my email on my ipad, open the tutorial attachment, then click on "Open In" Kindle, and then it is magically in my Kindle or any Kindle apps.

So am I understanding correctly that I can get the tutorials on both my laptop and my iPad?

Should be able to put a tutorial on any device that has a PDF reader. I even have a couple on my phone.

You can put them on both a PC/Mac and an iPad. However, if you read most tutorials you'll see you are usually given permission for one copy and a backup. It's why I delete the ones on my laptop after I print them out (cause as much as I love tech, I don't trust it LOL so I hard copy everything); then I can have a copy on my iPad, with the printed copy as backup.
