Transfer from iPad to MacBook Air

I'd like to transfer some songs from my iPad to my MacBook Air.  I understand this is possible but when I follow the steps I don't see a choice to transfer SELECTED items - only ALL the items I've purchases on my iPad will transfer.  Is there a way to select?
Thanks in advance.

There is no way to select, Transfer Purchases will transfer all purchases.
Anyway it's a good idea to have purchases saved on your computer, since Apple never promised it will be always available and if your iPad need to restore.

  • I have a problem with transfering photos from iPad to MacBook Air, how do I go about doing that?

    Photos from iPad to MacBook Air, I am currently trying to use my USB cord to transfer photos, but how?

    You can only import photos in the camera roll, not synced photos. So I assume that you want to transfer the photos that you shot with the iPad camera. You can use iPhoto or Image Capture on the MBA.
    Just connect the iPad to the Mac with the cable and launch either of those two apps. Your iPad should appear under the devices heading in the left sidebar of the app. Click on the iPad name just like you do when you sync with iTunes and the camera roll photos should appear in the window on the right.

  • Transfer from ipad to macbook?

    i have just purchased a macbook pro.It is my first mac.I have had ipad for a while.Can i transfer data from Numbers on ipad to macbook.Will the apps on my ipad work with macbook?

    The applications on your iPad are built to work with iOS - and your MacBook Pro works with OS X: a completely different operating system, so, no, your iPad apps will not work with your MacBook Pro.
    However, you should be able to use your Numbers files from your iPad on your Mac if you purchase Numbers for Mac in the Mac App Store - as a matter of fact, if you just bought a new MacBook Pro, you should get Numbers, Pages and Keynote free from the Mac App Store (if they're not already on your machine). I'm not certain how it works as I've not purchased a new Mac lately, but you should be able to get information from here -> http://www.apple.com/creativity-apps/mac/up-to-date/.
    Good luck,

  • Transfer from iPad to Macbook pro

    Hello, I use to have a pc and it died, i bought a macbook pro and i would now like to transfer everything i have on my iPad (music, photos, etc ) onto my macbook but i don't know how to and my old computer is completely dead i can't get it to turn on, so i can't have access to my old files.
    Does any one has had this problem before ? I synchronised my ipad with the new itunes library, but only the things i bought via itunes store were transfered
    is there any way i could retrieve all my music and pictures ?
    Thank you for your help

    The iTunes content sync is one-way: computer to device. Apple makes no provision to extract synced content from your iPad. While you can "transfer" purchased content, non-iTunes purchased content & photos synced to your iPad require third-party software to extract from your iPad:

  • I can't get photos to transfer from iPad to macbook

    I just got a new MacBook and updated my iPad to IOS7.  Only a small fraction of my photos transfered through iCloud.  I tried syncing the photos through an iTunes sync with the new MB but only a portion of the photos show up in iPhoto on the MB.  And each time I try to resync, iPhoto tells me that all photos have been synced but they clearly have not.  Any suggestions?
    I am also trying to back up through Dropbox but would much prefer to sync through iPhoto.

    Where did the photos on the iPhone come from? What is in Camera Roll on the iPhone?
    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad and iPhone?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
    No data will be lost.

    You can only transfer purchases from iTunes on the iPad into iTunes on your computer. If you bought the music from another source, you need to use the source app to transfer the music, or you need a third party app to transfer the music.

    I recently received my macbook air and I was trying to transfer iWork to my new macbook.
    Typically, I have no problems in the transfer process when I have done this before from my iMac to my Powerbook. And now, with the Macbook Air, my iMac tells me that the device isn't connected to the Macbook Air....but it IS showing that it is discovered.
    Sounds very confusing, I know.
    I just need to know how to transfer Pages to my Macbook Air from my iMac.
    If anyone can help, PLEASE DO!

    I'd like to transfer the photos from iPhone to MacBook Air. My iPhoto used to detect my iPhone automatically, but it doesn't happen anymore. How could I fox this? Thanks for helping!

    Check the iPhoto preferences:
    From the main menu bar:  iPhoto > Preferences > General:
         "Connecting camera opens"  : Set this option to  "iPhoto".
    If that does not help, disconnect your iPhone and reset your iPhone.
    To reset iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
