Is there a similar thing to airdrop for iPad retina and MacBooks?

I would like to transfer files / pics wirelessly through my home network between my macbook pro retina and my ipad mini retina...
Is there a similar app like airdrop (for use between different macs) but for joining ipad and macbooks over the wifi network?
thanks !

Thank you pjl123 and Diavonex for the rapid replies
however, I was thinking more of like an adhoc kinda thing but between the pad and the macbook, using the home wireless network and possibely retaining internet capabilities...
is that possible in any way or am I just daydreaming?!

  • I have GarageBand for iPad 2 and noticed that there are far fewer loops for iPad than for apple laptops. Is there a library available of apple loops? I haven't been able to find any if there are. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Update: An Apple rep called me today to update the status of my return. I was told that the replacements for the BLACK iPad 2's was still another 3 weeks out (at least) so they offered me a brand new WHITE 16GB iPad 2. I could have that or continue waiting. I opted to go ahead and accept the offer of a new white one. Worst case scenario if I don't like the white one I have buddy that just bought a 16GB black one that he would be willing to swap it.

  • Only one of my earbuds on my bose headphones works with my ipad, iphone and macbook- if I hold them there the right earbud will work, but for the life of me, I can't get them to both work. Why is this? And is Apple doing anything about this?

    Only one of my earbuds on my bose headphones works with my ipad, iphone and macbook- if I hold them there the right earbud will work, but for the life of me, I can't get them to both work. Why is this? And is Apple doing anything about this? While Apple's headphones have (finally) admittedly gotten better of late, I still prefer the much more comfortable headphones & sound quality that Bose makes and that I spent the money for.

  • Is there a MagSafe 2 compatible portable external power source for the retina display MacBook Pro?

    I’m using a retina display MacBook Pro with the MagSafe 2 connection.   I would like to have a portable external power source to extend the use of my laptop on long field trips where I am away from power sources. Swapping batteries is not an option for this generation of MacBook Pros.  There seem to be many options for PC’s and even iPhones/iPads/iPods but the MagSafe 2 connection seems to be the issue.  I saw one link that suggested buying an Apple MagSafe 2 power adapter and performing surgery on the power cord (using components provided by the vendor) so that the adapter would run on their back up battery.  I was hoping for a more esthetically pleasing solution. Any suggestions?  Does this product exist and I just missed it? Clearly, if a MagSafe(1) compatible external battery existed I could adapt that using the MagSafe to MagSafe 2 converter.

    Sparon,
    I wouldn’t recommend using an underpowered AC adapter with your MacBook Pro. It sounds as though the best solution would be to get a different laptop bag with a sufficiently large side pocket.

  • Will there be an update in Pages for ipad that will allow for sub scripts and superscripts

    I am a chemistry professor who loves to work on the ipad. The problem I have is that the mathematics I use and chemical equations is use in my writings need both super scripts and subscripts. I would love to use my ipad for this, but presently, the only way I can do this is with a third party app that allows me to create the formulas and the paste them in the document I am working on. Will there be an update to Pages for ipad that will allow subscripts and super scripts. I would love to move away from my Office 2010, but the support is not there yet.

    We cannot speculate about future Apple products. We know no more about this than you do at this time.
    You can suggest it to Apple at Apple Feedback.

  • Is there a comment feature in Pages for iPad?

    Hey all you iPad owners. Is there a comment feature in Pages for iPad? There is one in Pages '09 that I use all the time. Not having that feature in the iPad version of Pages could be a deal breaker for me buying an iPad. Thanks in advance for your help!

    I think it not an unreasonable feature request for a word prcessor. I feel that in scaling pages down to the iPad Apple has also made the product a little less attractive for professional usage. For example pages for iPad really should preserve Endnotes created elsewhere, but it does not at present. A shame, but we can hope that in subsequent versions of pages for iPad that support or preservation of advanced word processing features is introduced.

  • Is there a firewire to HDMI adapter for IPAD 4?

    Is there a firewire to HDMI adapter for IPAD 4?

    It's called the "Lightning" connector. Here is the adapter you need:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD826ZM/A/lightning-digital-av-adapter
    The Lightning Digital AV Adapter mirrors exactly what you see on your device so that everyone in the room can enjoy it on your widescreen TV, video projection screen, or other HDMI-compatible display. The Lightning Digital AV Adapter also supports video out for watching movies, TV shows, and more.
    You can also stream wirelessly using AirPlay but that requires Apple TV. Streaming music or other audio requires an AirPort Express or compatible device.

    Is there a software like flash player for ipad.what software do I exactly need in order to play videos from websites?

    NKafafi88-
    There may be a couple Apps that may help, but I understand they don't work very well.  The best solution would be to contact the owners of the websites and let them know they need to update their site.
    The alternative I use, is to download the problem video onto my computer, and convert it to M4V or MP4 format using a program like HandBrake <HandBrake>.  Then it can be added to iTunes and synced with the iPad.

  • 2 New Ipads (Retina and Mini)(New to Apple) How do I share purchased apps, but others have each act independently? Mini is for the Wife the Ipad4? is for me. I want to use mine at work, etc. She's home with the kids. Can we set them up seperate, but share

    --break--
    So we are entirely new to Apple products. I'm an IT guy, but have always been a windows user.
    So the Ipad with Retina Display is to be mine (and will use it at work for notes, organization, etc)
    The MINI is for the wife.
    But, are we allowed and can we.. buy an app and share that app between both devices? IE. Can I buy a copy of Angry Birds for the House and both Ipad's use that single purchase? and if so, can we still run the Ipads seperate other than to share the apps purchased. IE my facebook and email set up on mine and hers on her ipad mini?
    When I finally find a note taking app I like, can I share it on her ipad, without her having all my work files, etc?
    Thanks for helping out the apple noob. Hoping for a great experience, and anticipate droping $100 in apps the first day.. just don't want to do that twice. If this is against the usage policy, thats unfortunate but good to know. (I mean we can share stuff on PC as long as its in the same household)
    thanks again (explanations or links are fine)

    There are a number of Apple services: iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud, Game center, Find My iPad, etc.
    Now, to share apps, music and books you need to have the same Apple ID:
    iPad's Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID > Your purchasing Apple ID.
    For the other service, your wife should have her own Apple ID.
    All she needs is a valid e-mail address, apply Apple ID below:
    https://appleid.apple.com
    Here's a limk with useful tips: Note: It's also valid in IOS 6

  • What are the tools to create a digital magazine for ipad version and how can be place it in newsstand?

    Hello..
    "what are the tools to create a digital magazine for ipad version and how can be place it in newsstand?"
    I am very tired after done a week of R&D on this issue..
    But i doesn't get any fair solution for this one..
    I hope this is best option to place my issue here to get quick solution..
    Thanks and Regards..

    We are all users here.
    There is no one here from Apple.
    In order for you to develop and distribute content for the iPad, you need to become an apps developer.
    Not sure where you sign up for this or who you have to call.
    There should be a place on Apple's site that refers to a section of the site if you want to be an Apple iOS content developer.
    It cost, I believe $99 U.S. to become an Apple apps developer. You'll agree to Apple's Non-disclosure rules.  You'll receive Apple's app/software developers kit,and access to Apple's app developer site.
    No one here is going to be able to help you.
    Good Luck.
