How can I transfer books from my Mac to my iPad without using iTunes?

?

I can get books into iBooks on my ipad easily enough by just emailing them to myself or using Dropbox. The problem with that route is that it loses the book's genre, which must be something iTunes handles separately from the file.
Anyone have any ideas on how to retain the genre metadata outside of iTunes?

  • How can I transfer files from my mac to my iPad, e.g., mp4 files.  Do I have to use iTunes?

    How can I transfer files from my mac to my iPad in an easier way?  I'd like to put some movies on, and I can use iTunes, but is there another way?  I have transferred epub books using Dropbox.  Movies eat up a lot of dropbox space and the iPad has trouble getting them.

    USB disk. You still have to go through iTunes.
    Connect device to computer/mac
    Select your device in iTunes menu.
    Apps...
    At thebottom of the page you will see the app.
    Select it and the Add for windows and + for mac
    Hope that helped.
    In the long run there is no way to access or uplood data on your device without iTunes unless you JailBrake....

    How can I transfer photos from my mac to my ipad?

    If you are have iTunes 11 on your Mac then you may want to re-enable the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar (option-command-S on a Mac), which might make it easier to navigate.
    To sync photos, connect and select your iPad on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes, and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders (or iPhoto ro Aperture albums) to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad (unless you want to remove all synced photos), instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.

  • How can I add photos from my mac to my ipad without deleting the photos on my ipad, How can I add photos from my mac to my ipad without deleting the photos on my iPad, How can I add photos from my mac to my ipad without deleting the photos on my iPad

    I have photos on my Ipad that I copied from my PC (that I am selling) & now want to add my photos from my Mac to keep them all in one place.  When I try to sync it says it will delete the photos on my Ipad unless they were taken with the Ipad.  How can I just add what is on my Mac to my Ipad without deleting what is on my Ipad?

    "OK, so how do I transfer images to my computer? "
    This has been answered.  The sync is one way - computer to ipad.  You can e-mail them to yourself.
    " Whenever I connect the iPad to my Mac I get a message telling me that all the photos on the iPad will be replaced. Why?"
    This is the design of the product.  It will sycn with one computer.  Sycning to anotehr will erase hte current content.  The ipad simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced.
    "When I connect my mp3 player to my PC, at home, I can find the player in Explorer and edit the contents, move or delete files, add files from my computer etc. All under my controll, simple and easy."
    OK.  This is not the case with the  ipad.  It is not designed as a storage device.

    I have an iphone 4 with music downloaded from my Macbook which was originally downloaded from CDs.  I now have an iphone 4s that will not sync with my old Macbook because it does not have the most recent version of itunes.  Macbook is too old for new itunes.  I want to transfer music on iphone 4 to iphone 4s.  icloud will only transfer music to 4s that was originally purchsed through itunes and will not transfer CD music from iphone 4.  How can I transfer this music to my new phone?

  • How can I transfer video from my iPhone to my iPad without a computer?

    I do have a work computer, a MacBook Air, but I can't sync it to my iPad. My iPad is already synced to my home computer. The camera connection kit used to work, but now I have an iPhone 5s and an iPad mini: all lightening connectors. Will the lightening to USB Camera adapter do the job?

    Yep.
    However, importing pics/videos in your camera roll DOES NOT involve syncing, & you can import these directly to your computer. Launch iPhoto, connect your phone, import. If iTunes launches, quit it.
    That's all you have to do. You can import camera roll pics/videos to any computer you want.

    How can I transfer photos from my Mac Book Pro to my windows computer.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Transfer them to an external disk formatted in "MS-DOS (FAT)" with Disk Utility > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html
    If you have the pictures in iPhoto, choose them with the Command key, go to File menu (on the menu bar) > Export, and copy them to the external disk. Then, connect your external disk to the PC and move them.
    If you have the pictures in Finder, steps are the same, but in this case, you will have to drag the pictures you chose to the external disk that you can find in the Finder sidebar, under "Devices"

    Pics taken with the iphone are imported to your computer as with any other digital camera ( as explained in the manual).
    Pics synced to your iphone from your computer should still be on the computer.
