Help me understand how to move pdf's between iPad and MacBook.

I use the iPad 2 as a electronic reader of research articles.  When reviewing this material I desire to keep the annotations I make to the pdf via the PDFReader app.  I review enough material that I need the MacBook as a storage space.  But I haven't been able to figure out how to move pdf's that I've made annotations to, to the MacBook while maintaining the annontations I've made.  These annotations are maintained while the file is stored on the iPad. 
It seems as though for files not generated by Numbers, Keynote, or Pages the iCloud sharing of files between devices is a bit of a gimmick.  I'm using Mountain Lion and iOS 5.1.1.  Suggestions???

Yes, if you drag from the iPhoto Window to the desktop you’re getting the current (edited) version of the pic. You’re also missing any added metadata, such as keywords etc.
Yes, when you import to the other library you are missing the original file too.
The only way to move pics/albums/Events (including metadata) between Libraries (and all versions) is with iPhoto Library Manager.

  • How do i sync emails between iPad and Macbook Pro

    I have the iiPad2 with WiFi. I remember that I used iSync in the past between my Macbook and desktop unit. I also am signed up with me.com. Can anybody please advise me what's the best way to sync my emails? I use Apple's mail program. Thanks.

    iSync has never synced email or anything between Macs.
    To sync email you need to set your account up as IMAP (not POP3) on your iPad and Mac.
    If you are using your MobileMe email address and have configured your MobileMe account on both Mac and iPad, then your email is automatically in sync.

  • How do you sync calendars between iPad and MacBook Pro running Maverick

    I had no problem syncing my iPad with my MacBook Pro before upgrading to Maverick.  Now I just keep going round in circles.  It's such a basic requirement to be able to sync calendars, but just so problematic. 

    Use iCloud.

  • How to synch calendars between iPad and MacBook Pro?

    How do I synch calendars between iPad and MacBook Pro?

    Thank you for your help. However, I still have no connection; could it be that the laptop is signed in through my account and the iPad through my wife's?
    If so, must I delete her iCloud account and reestablish it as mine?
    Thank you

  • How do you sync the iPhone, iPad and MacBook calendar in one calendar.

    How do you sync the iPhone, iPad and MacBook calendar in one calendar?

    Iphone 5 seems unable to sync calendars with ITunes! The genius bar set mine to sync via Icloud, but it only worked once (?). 
    Finally I fixed it like this.
    First, I merged the multiple calendars from ICal thanks to http://www.maclife.com/article/howtos/how_merge_ical_calendars and I called it “only.”
    Second, I unchecked the gmail calendar (seems iCloud had a problem with it): On the Iphone, open the calendar, go to the bottom of the page, click on calendars and uncheck the gmail calendar. Click Done.
    Third, every time I want to sync, I go to the Iphone  Settings, iCloud, and uncheck calendars. I respond “keep on my Iphone”. Then, check calendars on again, click merge, and.… voila!

  • How to get calendar back onto ipad and macbook after icloud install

    I have just migrated from mobileme to icloud. I now have no calendar on my ipad and only one child's calender (out of three childrens +2 other calendars) shows up on my macbook and entries are changed to wrong days. I have everything on my iphone but do not want to plug it in for fear of losing all data (I do have a back up on an external HD) How do I get all the correct data from my iphone calendar to the ipad and macbook? I have checked discussions and there are many similiar issues but no replies with resolution. thank you

    Problem resolved. I went onto my laptop>System Pref>Mail,Contact,Calendars. A dialog window repeatedly opened asking me to Deny or Allow access. I went thru iCloud, mobileme (mail, contacts and calendars), several AIM accounts and all my mail accounts and populated the accounts window. I then went to my iPhone>Settings >iCloud and turned off calendars (saving calendars on my iphone), turned calendars back on and voila:Full functionality of my calendars on my laptop.

  • How do I sync Notes between iPhone and Macbook, preferably using a cable?

    I was running Lion before I upgraded to Mavericks.  I would sync notes via iTunes using a cable. 
    My understanding is that you have to use WiFi and iCloud with Mavericks, which if true is a really dumb limitation and a problematic one.  I do not have WiFi at home and often not when traveling.  But I do have a cable and my Macbook.
    Is there no way to sync Notes with a cable?

    At a standstill on a solution so I retried other suggestions I have found on various threads.  I have done this specific process multiple times but luckily this time it worked.  What helped was - on MBP went to Settings > iCloud then unchecked Notes.  Said ok to delete Notes from MBP (my most recent version is on my iPhone).  Waited about 5 min then went back to Settings > iCloud checked Notes, said ok to merge and now my Notes on iPhone and MBP are the same.  Will have to see what happens.  I had my phone connected to MBP vis USB and used wireless during process.  Hope this helps with your problem also.

  • Here's how to sync your Notes between iPad and Mac

    This is not immediately obvious and took me several conversations with various AppleCare techs before I finally got the solution as to why my notes on my iPad where not syncing to my Mac Pro. The problem seems to be that you can't sync if you only have Notes on your iPad. You must have notes on your Mac to which unlike Calendar and Contacts don't have corresponding standalone applications, iCal and Addressbook, respectively. Notes exist within Mac Mail. I only had Notes on my iPad and none on my Mac Pro. In this event here's what to do to get setup and syncing:
    SETUP:
    1. Go to System Preferences on your Mac > MobileMe > Sync > and make sure Notes is checked although, syncing via the cloud apparently won't happen until iOS 4.2.
    2. With Mac Mail launched, if you've never created a note in Mac Mail, in the left column you should see:
    MAILBOXES
    ON MY MAC
    RSS
    or if you've created some notes on your Mac Mail, you'll see:
    MAILBOXES
    REMINDER
    - Notes
    ON MY MAC
    RSS
    The key is you have to have REMINDERS created. So if you don't have it created, when you sync your iPad and Mac, the iPad doesn't know what to do as there's no "receptacle" for it's notes on your Mac.
    So in Mail, in the top of the window create a new Note, click the notepad icon to the right of the New Message.
    Now REMINDERS will be created in Mail's left column with this new note. You can simply put "Test" or whatever and click "Done" in the upper left of the Note's window.
    3. Plug your iPad into your Mac, in iTunes, in the left column click your iPad under DEVICES the Info tab in the top. At the bottom of the page is "Other" > click: Sync notes. Do NOT click the checkbox "Notes" in the next section under "Advanced"
    4. Click "Apply" at the bottom of the page and your iPad and Mac will begin to sync. It may take awhile as I believe it is doing both a sync and backup.
    Once this process is done, you'll see your notes fully sync'd on your iPad and Mac. Yea! but there's more...
    5. Notes created in Mac Mail show up in 2 places: your MAILBOXES > Inbox and under REMINDERS > Notes, and if you delete the Mac Mail note in your inbox, it deletes the note in your REMINDERS.
    This is unfortunate and not great interface design IMHO and should be remedied.
    Luckily the last Tier 2 AppleCare tech I just spoke with had a workaround for this, which is:
    6. Create a new mailbox inside Notes under REMINDERS. Click Notes, then go to Mailbox > New Mailbox... in the top of your monitor screen.
    Under the location pulldown it should show a notepad icon and On My Mac.
    For the Name, I called my new mailbox "iPad Notes" Then click OK.
    Then a triangle appears next to Notes mailbox to access this new subfolder (iPad Notes) and you then drag your now sync'd notes from Notes under REMINDERS to your "iPad Notes" subfolder under Notes. Now your left column will look like:
    MAILBOXES
    REMINDERS
    -Notes
    --iPad Notes
    ON MY MAC
    RSS
    Doing this drag to "iPad Notes" will remove the note(s) from your inbox, but keep it in your REMINDERS and thus be available for Syncing, which currently can only be done with your iPad when plugged in via USB to your Mac.
    Apparently, in iOS 4.2, you'll be able to use MobileMe to sync Notes just like Calendar and Contacts. We'll see.
    I hope this is helpful. It took me awhile to get all this set up, and being that I am not an AppleCare tech, if you have questions instead of asking me, I recommend you call AppleCare and review with them. Let them know I got the above info from Tier 2 support.
    Once iOS 4.2 and Lion come out, all this may, hopefully be a simpler process, but as of this writing, pre 4.2 and Lion, this is now working on my iPad and Mac Pro.
    Good Luck.
    Steven

    Thanks ,,, but when I "Go to System Preferences on your Mac > MobileMe > Sync > and make sure Notes is checked"
    I CANNOT check the "Notes". It is NOT highlighted. MAYBE because I am NOT logged-in to mail.mac.com?
    Is this why my Sync Notes between MacBook Pro and iPAD 2 does NOT work?
    How do I fix it?
    Also I continue to get Error Message "smtp.mail.com" password not accepted.
    I DO NOT know my mail.mac.com password.

  • Can you sync Adobe Reader PDF's between iPad and iPhone?

    I run a wedding cake bakery and have all of my contracts saved as pdf's on my iPad via Adobe Reader. I downloaded Adobe Reader for my iPhone thinking it would sync the files and I would be able to access them when I wasn't near the iPad but it doesn't appear to work. Both the iPad and the iPhone are signed into my adobe account but the documents I can access are completely different on the two devices.
    Is there a way to make the documents saved on my iPad's Adobe Reader App sync and become visible on my iPhone's Adobe Reader App?

    Well I feel a little ridiculous now. I don't know why I didn't think of that, thanks

  • HT204365 how to move pdf files from ipad (ibooks) to pc?

    I have several pdf files on my ipad from another computer... I don't want to loose them when I synch with my pc. what can I do?

    Copy them from the original computer to the new computer.
    iOS devices are not and have never been backup devices.  They merely mirror the content of the computer to which they sync.

  • HT5826 how to sync pdf file between iOS and mac

    I tried to sync pdf files stored in iBook on my iPad with the iBook on my iMac, but not all the docuemnts are viewable in iBook on iMac and viceversa.
    Which is the reason?
    Please let me know
    Thanks
    Luca

    I suspect that you haven't synced your iPad with your Mac. iBooks does not "push" new additions to its library automatically, like iCloud does; you must sync your iPad, either with a USB cable, or over WiFi, to have the PDFs sync. Make sure the PDFs are selected in iTunes too.

  • How do I set permissions between iMac and Macbook Pro using apple extreme base station hooked up to comcast modem

    I am trying to share files on my iMac with my wife's macbook Pro for which I am set up as a second user with administration privileges.  I think i have the computers finding each other (for example my iMac shows up on the shared list in my wifes's finder window), but when I try to open a file it says I do not have permission(s).  Is there a manual I can look at that walks me through this step by step.
    I know I have to mark files on my iMac to allow for sharing.  How do I designate a particular user as having permission to share.  I only want to be able to share my iMac when I am logged in on my user account on the Macbook Pro (and vise versa, I would like to be able to access the files on the Macbook Pro, when I am logged in as the user on my iMac.
    Thank you for your assistance and precious time.

    Through a browser.
    I am supposed to have it set so that it is placed at:
    http://c5414.airsight.net  but nothing gets there.
    Some places have mention that I need to set up port forwarding,
    others have mentioned DDNS or UPNP,
    How do I do these or is there a better way to send http://10.0.11.1/main.html

  • How do you transfer photos between ipad and mac on demand?

    New Ipad air, purchased today, upgraded as soon as box was opened to 7.1.1.  Mac mini i7 running mavericks (2 weeks old)
    After waiting an undetermined time for icloud to sync (not very long actually) I find SOME of my photos from my mac on my new ipad.
    I edit on the ipad (the reason I bought it) and cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the edited version to go BACK to my mac.
    Honestly, I thought editing was supposed to be "seamless" across platforms; that what you edited on one showed up on the other.  This is NOT happening and furthermore there seems to be no way to actually deliberately SEND a picture from one to the other.
    The OS makes no sense at all in this regard.  Did I waste myu money on the ipad?  (I can still return it!)

    Figured it out finally.  Save edited pic (edited on ipad) to camera roll, which then automatically uploads to icloud.  Get it on Mac from icloud "project" (or album or whatever it is called) and IMPORT it to aperture for editing, etc.  Then edited pic (edited on Mac) must be dragged to icloud to be available on ipad.
    Quite the runaround, but it works.
