Backing up IPad from MacBook?

I can't seem to back up & update my IPad. Do I need a data plan to back up or update?

You don't need a data plan to backup nor to update. What happens when you try to backup ?

How to sync iCal events back to iPad from Macbook?

My iPhone events have all successfully imported to Macbook, but they won't sync back to iPadmini. I've tried to push them through iCloud and also manually but no success.
The sync works vice-versa - i.e. iPad events will sync to Mac.
Using Maverick

Please try the following...
First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

How to get calendar back onto ipad and macbook after icloud install

I have just migrated from mobileme to icloud. I now have no calendar on my ipad and only one child's calender (out of three childrens +2 other calendars) shows up on my macbook and entries are changed to wrong days. I have everything on my iphone but do not want to plug it in for fear of losing all data (I do have a back up on an external HD) How do I get all the correct data from my iphone calendar to the ipad and macbook? I have checked discussions and there are many similiar issues but no replies with resolution. thank you

Problem resolved. I went onto my laptop>System Pref>Mail,Contact,Calendars. A dialog window repeatedly opened asking me to Deny or Allow access. I went thru iCloud, mobileme (mail, contacts and calendars), several AIM accounts and all my mail accounts and populated the accounts window. I then went to my iPhone>Settings >iCloud and turned off calendars (saving calendars on my iphone), turned calendars back on and voila:Full functionality of my calendars on my laptop.

Browsing iPad from MacBook via Bluetooth?

I can pair my iPad with my MacBook Pro, but I can't search the iPad from the computer to retrieve a file, photo, etc. Help!

How to easily move files back and forth from MacBook Air to TB external drive

I have a MacBook Air with 128 GB Hard Drive. I need to easily PULL OFF MAC files and move to TB External Drive. I need to pull files off Mac as it runs out of space to operate the Mac. I can't do Apple Time as it backs up files, but does not pull off MAC and free space.

Make certain that the external drive is formatted so that you can read and write to it. Then connect it to the MBA and than drag and drop files from the MBA to the external HDD.
Ciao.

Using iCloud to back up documents from MacBook

I have a MacBook, OSX 10.7.5.
I use Microsoft Office for Mac 2011.
Is there a way to back up the documents that are on my computer, such as Word and Excel documents? If this is possible, how do I do that? Is there a way to differentiate between the documents on my iPhone and my MacBook?
Thank you.

*"iPod shuffle is intended for use with a single computer. You cannot load music from multiple computers or iTunes libraries onto iPod shuffle like you can with other iPods."*
You don't have a Shuffle. That paragraph does not apply to you.
*Secondly, doesn't that article explicitly say you CAN load music from multiple libraries onto "other iPods?"*
Yes. Your iPod fits in the "other" category.
For this discussion, your iPHOTO library is a folder with computer files. It is NOT part of the iTUNES library and is NOT "synced." For computer files, you need to configure for Disk Mode. That lets you treat available space in the iPod as if it were a small hard drive. You use the finder to copy files to the iPod. This is in addition to the music and videos, etc. in the iTUNES library.
*I guess perhaps a better question might be, "Can I share an iPhoto library between two accounts on one computer without duplicating files?"* No, you're not really "sharing" it, you're simply copying it back and forth between two computers (users):
1. Copy from User-A to the iPod.
2. Copy from iPod to User-B.
3. User-B adds photos and does "other stuff."
4. Delete library from iPod. I'm not 100% certain this is necessary. However, if User-B did something that deletes anything from inside the rather complex library, we want to be certain that it's gone when the library goes back to User-A.
5. Copy from User-B to iPod.
6. Copy from iPod to User-A.
7. Delete from iPod.
+*A better solution: Buy an external Firewire hard drive, configure it for "Ignore Ownership" (File/GetInfo) and put the iPhoto library there. Both users can access it with full rights and priveleges.*+
By the way, photos can be "files" and transferred via the finder as above (can NOT be viewed on the iPod) and/or they can be in the iTUNES library and synced for viewing on the iPod.

Iphone voice memo xfer to ipad from macbook .. why not?

I've started using voice memos on my iphone to sketch out riffs and song ideas, they transfer just fine to my macbook pro and show and play just fine in itunes. I use my ipad to store itune playlists off of my macbook and have no difficulty playing. But for the first time, I added a voice memo to a playlist but the voice memo will not transfer to the ipad. The rest of the songs transfer just fine ... I've got the voice memo box checked in preferences ... the voice memo plays ok in tunes on my macbook and on my iphone but does not show at all on ipad after transfer.
Whats up with that?
Thank you, especially if you can help me figure it out!

Hi
Yes very puzzling.. Can you confirm your iPhone type and IOS... 3GS and 6.0.2 don't go together.
Cheers

HELP have wiped my pad and cant transfer all data back to Ipad from Mac air

does anyone know how to restore my Ipad 1 as i updated itunes on mac & Ipad know my Ipad is wiped but i can see all music, videos etc in itunes on mac

To transfer the media in your iTunes library back to your iPad, sync it with iTunes. Restoring other data and settings, however, will necessitate restoring your iPad backup, if you have one.

Transfer pdf or word documents to ipad from macbook

how can i transfer pdf and words documents of my iMac to an ipad 2

Many options, depending on what you want to do with them.
mail them to yourself
use iTunes
use the desktop transfer programs that go along with Office Suite apps (i.e. Documents to Go, Quickoffice, etc)
use Goodreader (a PDF/document reader as well as a file transfer and management app)
use a cloud storage app (such as Dropbox or Sugarsync).
If you want to edit the documents, you'll need an app that can do so. If you just want to read them, you have more options.

TS1501 transferring a small batch of photos from the new ipad to macbook pro (this way you can upload one album at a time, file them into a new album on macbook pro) Pls. advise.

How can I transfer a small batch of photos from the new ipad to macbook pro? In theory, I should be able to keep my albums together this way (once uploaded to macbook pro, i can easily file them into a new album on macbook pro.) Not working for me! Macbook pro does include iphoto. I had no problem uploading ALL photos (3 or 4,000.) Help! Goal is to keep albums together.

Hi all,
Goal: Backing up photos!
Hope: Transfer ALBUMS from ipad to external drive (via macbook pro)
Is this possible? Or will I have to create a file name for each of my thousands of photos?
UGH!
HELP!

Syncing bokmarks in safari from MacBook Pro to iPad

You can sync bookmarks between your Mac and iPad using iCloud.

Transferred backed-up data from external hard disk to new hard drive on my MacBook Pro which seemed to be successful. I now find that some (or maybe all) old emails have been resent. Can anyone tell me what has happened?

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

Printing from macbook pro and iPad using same printer

Have a macbook pro and an ipad. Can print from either using my epson XP-310 but not from both without resetting settings for whichever device I wasn't printing from . Is there a way to set up my Epson 310 wifi so it can see both devices and let either ipad or macbook pro print vs having to switch settings back an forth?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
In the Finder go to Help>Mac Help. Select the Index, upper right. Go to S>Sharing printers. You will find instructions for configuring Macs and PCs for printer sharing among the articles available.

Can I put Pictures on iPad from my macbook using i cloud?

Just drove back from my moms house where we got her set up with an ipad. I know her mac id and password. Is it possible for me to put pictures on her ipad from my computer? If so How?

I'm assuming that uploading them to a third party storage site, and asking her to download them herself, is perhaps a little too complicated for her, as a new user at this stage.
You could log into her iCloud account, and add the photos through iPhoto on your MacBook. This would require you to logout of your iCloud account, since only a primary account can work with photo stream. It would also require that photo stream was enabled on her iPad.
