1/ Do you always have the multiple icons or do they go back to one icon after a reboot and before you connect your iLiad to your PC via the USB cable?
2/ With the companion software, do you backup from iLiad to PC or PC to iLiad? I suggest you let the backup run and finish before you try working with your iLiad's files. I think you're working with your iLiad's internal files, so this shouldn't take very long.
3/ Are you trying to merge scribbles while the companion software is doing the back up?
You can close the companion software then connect your iLiad to your PC via the USB cable to work with its files. The backup will happen next time you connect via USB if you have the companion software running. I find it easier not to use the companion software and I manually do my own backups (copying and pasting multiple files between iLiad and PC is quick and easy).
4/ Are you talking about pdf scribble merging or backing up documents with the companion software?
mand, its not easy learning all the ins and outs with a new iLiad. You'll need to spend time reading instructions and using online help to use all the functionality.
Remember to take the time to relax, read and actually enjoy your new iLiad
