Apple issues

I am exploring whether or not I can do my work without a laptop. I am spending a good part of the winter in Kauai. My MacBook Pro has stopped starting or at least I cannot keep it going for very long. It also tries starting on its own, repeatedly and in the middle of the night. This is very weird, but it has been reported by others. I have my iPad Pro with me, but the keyboard does not work. I have not bothered to take the iPad in because I seldom write long pieces on the iPad.

I have a camera that has WiFi so I have figuired how to get individual photos off the camera. This is not an easy process, but I can at least post a few Hawaii photos. Using Blogger is an issue if you want to include an image, because Google discontinued its own app and blocked several others that used to work. I finally found an app Google seems to accept. Reading research PDFs is a problem. I have yet to determine how to download journal article pdfs to EndNote or  Mendeley. This is easy if you first add from a computer, but not easy from a mobile device.

I also have no alternative for Dreamweaver do the web site will have to remain as it is for a month. I understand starting from scratch some of these issues would not require a computer, but switching after becoming dependent is very challenging.
