How do I transfer a file from macbook to ipad without itunes?

Hi, I purchased a children's learning program online. I am now trying to transfer that program file from my macbook onto my kids ipad's. How do I do this without using itunes? I didn't aquire it from itunes but from the makers own website. We homeschool our kids and it would be so much easier for them to each have it on their own ipads. Thank you anamanners

The only place you can get programs for the iPad is from the iTunes Store. An application downloaded from a developer's web site will not work, and probably is for some other platform such as your Mac, as Kappy suggested. You'll need to ask the developer if they make a version for the iPad and if so will need to get it from the iTunes Store.
Regards.

  • How do I transfer PDF files from PC to IPAD using Itunes 12.1.2.  Previous versions let me drag file in Itunes to Ipad and files appeared under Ibook but can't get it to work in latest 12.1.2 version.

    How do I transfer PDF files from PC (Windows 7) to IPAD using Itunes 12.1.2.  I would like to do files manually rather then auto synch.  Previous versions let me drag file in Itunes to Ipad and files appeared under Ibook and then I could move them to an appropriate collection title.  The interface appears to have changed in the latest ITunes version and I am not sure what the proper procedure is.

    King_Penguin - Thanks it worked perfectly.  I had my pdf files copied into ITunes on my PC but when I clicked on a pdf file to copy it I thought the sidebar would appear with my IPAD name and then I would drag it over.  I didn't realize that I needed to click-and start dragging it towards the left-hand side for the sidebar to appear.  It worked like a charm - THANKYOU!!!

  • How do I transfer photo files from desktop to ipad without 3rd party software?

    how do I transfer photo and music files from my laptop to ipad2 without purchasing a 3rd party software?

    You can use iTunes which is free (http://www.apple.com/itunes) - and that is the only way to sync music from a computer to the iPad
    Syncing photos via iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236 . You need to sync all photos that you want on the iPad together in one go, as only the most recent remains on the iPad - not including photos in a subsequent sync is how you delete them from the iPad

  • How do you transfer Pages files from Mac to ipad?

    How do you transfer Pages documents from Mac to Ipad?

    If you have iOS 5 on the iPad and enabled iCloud in Pages, you can go on your Mac and go to http://icloud.com, then click iWork, then click the gear icon and upload the document. It should appear on your iPad.
    If you have an older OS on the iPad, you will need to plug in to the Mac and launch iTunes. Click on the iPad under DEVICES. Then click on the Apps tab up top. Scroll down until you see a File Sharing section. Click on Pages, then click on the "Add" button.

    You might try posting your GarageBand for iPad specific questions to that forum (it is separate from here). Link to forum: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1438

  • How to access same iPhoto library from MacBook and iPad without making a copy (sync option)

    I have a simple question to you guys (tried to sort it out with Apple tech support but no luck there!)
    How can I set up iPhoto in a way that I can have access to the same files from iPhoto on MacBook and from iPhoto app on iPad? I do not wish to sync files as this will create a copy of a file and also when for example you do editing of an image on Mac you want that to automatecly reflect on a file being viewed later on on iPad (and the other way around) without the need of a sync. option
    I tested this with photo stream but the problem there is that in order to make any changes to an image you HAVE to do it in the library folder you can not do it in the photostream i.e you took a pix on your iPhone, - photostream pushed it to your iPad and to your Mac, - you've desided to let's say to crop the image on Mac then you've closed that image. When then you open the same image on your iPad (or iPhone) the image is not cropped, why? becouse you've edited an image inside the iPhoto library on the Mac and didn't sync it with iPad.
    So it would be great if iPhone and Mac worked with the same library - save space and cleaner workflow!

    And again
    there is no solution today
    You can not - there is no commonality between iPhoto on the Mac and on the iPad except the name
    You can sync - you can use PhotoStream - you can not share a library - and IOS devices can not access external hard drives and if they could they can not read the contents of the iPhoto library since there is no commonality between iPhoto on the Mac and on the iPad except the nameYou can put your iPhoto library on an external drive if you wish as long as the volmne it is on is formattted Mac OS extended (journaled) - but that does not change the fact that neither the iPad nor the iPhone can access it since there is no commonality between iPhoto on the Mac and on the iPad except the nameIt really is extremely simple - you can not do it today
    Period

  • How do I transfer all files from macbook to windows 7 laptop

    Hi there,
    I am having a problem with my macbook. 6 weeks ago I got a new logic board installed under extended warranty as it was having kernel panics which I took out.  Sadly my warranty expired 3 weeks ago.  I am now having a problem with my macbook, I am using it and then suddenly it shuts down with no warning, no signal.  I have got my stuff backed up on a harddrive but when I plugged it into my partners windows laptop it didn't read it.  I spoke to Apple and they said I need to reformat the hard drive so that it works with both windows and macs, something I didn't know before!
    Anyway... 1) it takes a while for my whole harddrive to be uploaded and I fear that now this problem is recurring the laptop will not stay on long enough for me to recover my data.  It makes me loathe to reformat the harddrive with the data on it.
    2) Is there a way that I can get my itunes library to a PC simply?  The only way I know that has worked before is literally to drag and drop every music file onto a USB stick and this took me about 5 days and made me very dispondent!
    3) I have an iphone too...because I've always plugged it into my mac, does it now mean it won't work on a PC?  Or do they work both ways so it doesn't matter?
    4) does anyone have any experience of this type of problem and what was the fault? 
    The guy at the local apple store told me if it's related to the logic board then that part is covered by a 90 day warranty.  However I also now thinking of it realise that the fans were very noisy a few weeks ago and now suddenly I don't hear them at all, I wonder if it is that which is the problem.
    I am rather distressed as I am not a technically minded person and my macbook has been so good to me until the last couple of months.  I backed up my data with the best will in the world but am now very anxious that I may well lose everything. 
    My mac currently still boots up but you never know when it's going to conk out and it is a major concern for me.  I am not in a financial position to afford hundreds on a repair bill (that's why I had the extended warranty but sadly they wouldn't re-extend it as it wasn't apple policy) nor to purchase a new mac and am looking at the possibility of cutting my losses and going back to using my fiances windows laptop. Shudder.

    Is there anyway possible to transfer directly from ipod touch to ipad?  I don't have acces to a regular computer and have things I need to transfer over.

    Hi dsteineke,
    With iCloud you don't need to transfer many things because they are available to all devices set up under your iCloud account.
