IPad, mac and iCloud

hello folks! is there any way to transfer PDF files from MAC to iPad via iCloud? i am able to do that with .doc files and .ppt files but PDF. please help me out! many thanks!

iCloud is not nearly as capable as it ought to be in this regard.  Even though the iPad can open and view a PDF file just fine, you can't just upload a PDF file to iCloud as far as I can tell.  Instead, set up a free Dropbox account, and it'll work perfectly, just the way iCloud ought to work for files.  Install Dropbox on your Mac and on your iPad and documents will sync between the Dropbox servers, the Dropbox folder on your Mac and your iPad seamlessly.

  • If my iphone, ipad, MAC and macbook pro are all linked, and then I upgrade only my phone to iOS 7.0, does that have an effect on my calendar, etc.  It doesn't seem to be showing the same data it was before the update.  Lost lot of info from calendar.

    If my iphone, ipad, MAC and macbook pro are all linked, and then I upgrade only my ipone to IOS 7.0, does that have an effect on the linking to my other MAC products.  It seems my calendar has lost a lot of information since the upgrade.

    If you purchased Lion for your iMac, just log into the Mac App Store from your MacBook using the Apple ID under which you purchased Lion and go to the Purchases page. You will be able to download and install Lion there. 
    searching the internet i found a link to upgrtade to 10.7
    The only place you get get Lion is from the Mac App Store. If you found some other site, that was an illegal copy and almost certainly tied to someone else's Apple ID and hence unusable by you. If the link was just to the Mac App Store, see above.
    As to the problem with synchronization to iCloud, that's not a 10.6 question, so I'd suggest you take up that specific issue in either the Lion or iCloud forums, providing full details, and someone there can probably help you sort things out.

    Hi, MPiaM.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I would need clarification on if you are experiencing an issue with syncing photos via iTunes or iCloud to provide a better answer.  However, here are a couple troubleshooting articles that cover both scenarios.

  • In the calendar side bar, the groups titled "On my Mac" and "iCloud" will not merge?

    I recently updated my Macbook to Mavericks and my phone is already updated to IOS7.
    In iCal, there is a side bar, and there are 3 groups...
    "On my Mac"
    "iCloud"
    "US Holidays"
    Since all my main events are in the group "On my Mac" they do not sync with my phone because they are not in icloud.
    I need to find a way to merge the groups "On my Mac" and "iCloud" in order for my events to sync with my phone.
    Thanks

  • How to sync both on my mac and icloud contacts

    Why do I have calendars and contacts for both "On my Mac" and "iCloud"?  I want them to sync together so I don't have to edit both.  How do I go about syncing them as one?

    On my mac calendars are intended to be private calendars that aren't synced, if you merely want all your calendars synced delete any calendars that are on my mac (or just uncheck them to hide them - make your default calendar an iCloud calendar) and just use iCloud calendars.
    If you have any appointments in your on my mac calendars, double click them to edit and change the calendar to an iCloud calendar before deleting or hiding.

  • I want to create an eBook for iPad , Mac and "iPhone".

    While I was beginning with creating an eBook with iBookAuthor, I didn't know that the target group iPhone user is missed.
    I want to create and publish an eBook, which is intended for iPad, Mac and iPhone users.
    Does somebody know, which software would be the best?

    Of course iTunes Producer is supposed to accept .epub files.  If yours are not working, I suggest you try to contact Apple via the means indicated at the bottom of the FAQ

  • Notes Deleted on Mac and iCloud

    I think my Notes have been deleted from the Mac and iCloud by accident.  Is there a way to find the deleted Notes?  There is nothing on my computer and iCloud does not appear to have any previous data.  Does iCloud retain a prior day's data for recovery?

    thank you Eric, but any of those solutions works because on Maverick the options on itunes: "Tap on the Info pane, then De-select the option to Sync Notes" is not longer available.   Also, I have tried all those steps about de-select sync notes on iphone and mac.  I need a solution that consider working on Maverick.

  • I have a problem with mi iPad 3 and iCloud.

    I have a problem with my iPad 3 and iCloud.
    First. When i try to turn on the automatico downloads of apps and music on my ipad ican't. I put on the buttons but they automaticly turn into off.
    Second. I have an macbook with iWork and mi iPad has iWork too but i can use iCloud because the documents that i create in the iPad doen't go online.
    I did a little research and i think the troubles are because apple didn't associate mi ipad with my apple id, i had retored mi ipad a lot of times and it doen's fix the problem.
    What do i can do?
    I'm sorry but i'm learning english, so i'm sorry if you have a hard time trying to understand.
    Thank you

    Hi Omar1510,
    If resetting your iPad allows it to charge, but only temporarily, you may want to make sure that you have your data backed up and try restoring the device (you may want to test the charging before reloading your data). You may find the following article helpful:

  • Understanding mail "On My Mac" and "iCloud"

    Since the arrival of iCloud, I'm having problems understanding my mail.app mailboxes.
    Sometimes I send mail from my phone and it ends up in one mailbox, then I reply on my computer and it ends up in a different mailbox. I don't understand the "On My Mac" and "iCloud" mailboxes. Of course, I know the difference between on my Mac and in the cloud, but why isn't everything the same in all the boxes?
    At first, I thought, well, I don't want mail "On My Mac," but then I wouldn't be able to access it if offline. All I want is for my mailboxes to have the same stuff everywhere and not have all these different mailboxes. What am I doing wrong? Am I just not understanding how this works?
    Any help would be appreciated. I'm using the latest versions of everything.
    These are the screenshots of my email on my laptop and on my phone.

    I did goto Preference > iCloud > deselect Contacts. It will ask to delete all contacts "on my mac" and accept it. After a while, I went to Contacts app and manually deleted the rest of entries. I also checked the Contacts on iCloud.com. So the source of Contacts on iCloud.com was only one.
    Then I went back to Preference > iCloud > select Contacts and accept "merge". A few minutes later, my Contacts app on my mac are sync with the Contacts on iCloud.com.
    I don't have "on my mac" or "iCloud" in my Mac Contacts app. 

  • Garageband for Mac and iCloud project in cloud not syncing to iPad

    I have checked every setting possible in GB for Mac and in iCloud settings,, plus also checked iPad for all settings. I can see that a particular project is appearing as an iCloud document, however, it does not appear to be syncing to my iPad. The document (project)was made in my Mac Garageband New Version  , opens up nicely on GB version 10,, and I have it in the cloud and not a document on my computer. Any help as to why it  might not be showing up on my iPad would be appreciated.... unless there are are problems in the Cloud tonight.?

    GarageBand can only sync from iPad to OS X, not the other way around.
    You can, however, sync back to an iPad if the project was originally created on an iPad.
    Some edits  you did in OSX may not be seen on your iPad.
    Opening an iPad-version in OS X is a bit awkward.
    First, on your iPad tap and hold the file you want to send to iCloud.
    As soon as the icon of your song starts to wiggle, tap Upload to iCloud.
    In OS X go to File / iCloud / Import GarageBand for iOS
    It can take some minutes before you can see your project.

  • Contacts - "On My Mac" and "iCloud" possible to sync?

    Trying to sync contacts with my mac and my iOS devices through iCloud. It took me awhile to figure out what is actually happening here, even though it seems obvious now. Unfortunately I can find no way to do what I need.
    Set up iCloud on iPad, iPhone, Safari on MacBook Pro, using fine. Noticed not all contacts syncing. Preferences on all devices say use iCloud, and use Mail and Contacts on all devices.
    Finally noticed that on MacBook Pro Contacts, over on left page, at top left it says "All Contacts", under that "On my Mac", under that ""iCloud". Finally figured out that "On My Mac" contacts are separate from "iCloud" contacts (seems obvious). The contacts in "iCloud" are the only ones which sync with your iOS devices, and the MacBook Pro Mail program only adds contacts to "On My Mac" set. Yuck!
    I can find no way to have contacts from Mail automatically add to the "iCloud" set of contacts instead of the "On My Mac" set. I cannot figure out how to get these contacts in the "On My Mac" set to sync to iCloud without some very fancy and complicated exporting, deleting, importing ALL contacts, and it is a lot easier just to type the contact info into a new card in the "iCloud" contact set, but I wish I could get iCloud to work automatically with Mail and "On My Mac" contacts, or find some setting or workaround so that I just don't even use or have the "On My Mac" contacts.
    Does anyone know of some setting to allow me to use iCloud exclusively? That's why I want iCloud and Mac, to work together.
    The way I often add contacts is:
    In Safari, click an email link
    In mail, a new email opens so I can send
    click the triangle on the right end of the address in the "To" line
    a box appears
    scroll down to the bottom, "Show Contact Card" (this used to automatically open the address book, but Mountain Lion unfortunately added a step here)
    A box appears
    click upper right hand corner, "Open with Contacts"
    Edit card as needed
    Note: this card appears with the "All Contacts" line highlighted on the left hand side of left page
    It is also in "On My Mac" set
    It is NOT in "iCloud" set, therefore will not sync with iOS devices
    Anyone know how to get Mail to put its created contacts into iCloud to start with?

    Hi Virginia,
    Try setting up your iCloud account in the Contacts preferences. Contacts>Preferences>Accounts:
    Click the "+" to add your iCloud account, and when you get to this screen:
    In the "Account Type" field, use the dropdown to select iCloud, then add your iCloud sign-on info.
    Don't know if this will work, but my Contacts book only has "All Contacts" listed on the left-hand page - there is no "On My Mac" or "On iCloud" listed at all....
    Hope this helps!
    Cheers,

  • ICal on iPad, Mac and iPhone

    When I make an update on my Mac on iCal it shows up on my iPhone 4 but not my iPad.  Also when I make a change on my iPhone it shows up on my Mac but not my iPad.  If I add something from my iPad it does show up on the Mac and iPhone.  I am just not getting updates posted on the iPhone or Mac on the iPad.  So if I add it from my Mac or iPhone it does not show up on my iPad.  How can I fix this?
    I tried to turn of the iCal on the cloud on the ipad and the mac. 

    The 'Home' calendar does not sync to iCloud, only the iCloud calendar does that.
    In the iCloud control panel have you turned calendar sync on? and are you seeing the iCloud calendar in iCal?, all calendars in the 'On my Mac' group are local, they do not sync.
    Also, check in iCal>Preferences>Accounts, to ensure that iCloud is subscribed to in iCal:

  • Why my iPhone contacts, in groups, shows "my Mac" and "iCloud"?

    I had configured both my iPhone and my Mac Mini to sync with iCloud. But in both contacts, there are two main groups: The first one is "From My Mac" and the second one is "iCloud". All groups that i created (friends, family, work, etc...) appears to be a sub-group from "iCloud". It´s two different lists, but some contacts are in both lists. I want to have just one main group, iCloud, and have all my gadgets syncing with it, but I didn´t find any way to merge the contacts in just one list. What can I do?
    By the way, I tried the tool to merge duplicated contacts in the Mac Mini contacts, but when I do that, appears a message telling me that can´t merge the contacts because they are in diferent groups.

    I forgot to say: when I used the tool to find duplicated contacts in my Mac, it didn´t find the contacts that are in both groups.
