Connecting macbook air to my ipad

I want to connect my Macbook air with my ipad but for some reason they connect recognise each other but won't allow anything to transfer between them. Any ideas?

If you are trying to do this via Bluetooth, there is no support for file transfer over Bluetooth on iPads so the Mac will not find it.
If you need to transfer things between them you need to use iTunes and the provided USB cable that came with the iPad.

  • I CAN'T GET MY MACBOOK AIR, IPHONE OR IPAD CONNECT TO EACH OTHER THROUGH BLUETOOTH. I HAVE TRIED ALL THE SUGGESTIONS I HAVE READ, INCLUDING RESTARTING DEVICES, FORGETTING DEVICES, TURNING BLUETOOTH ON AND OFF.

    I am unable to connect my Macbook air, iPhone or iPad though bluetooth. I have tried all the suggestions I have read. i.e. toggle bluetooth on and off, turn devices on and off, forget devices and then pair. I seem to be able to pair but the devices immediately go to not connected and a message appears that reads: make sure devices are turned on and in range.

    Pairing the phone with the car is one thing, but paring to the computer is not generally supported. Tethering is using the cellular data access from the phone for the other devices. It is part of Personal Hotspot. If you aren't aware of what it is, then it probably is something you do not use.
    As far as the car is concerned, what is not working? Does the car not see the phone, or the phone see the car, or after you start to pair something fails? If you provide more information about the problem and what you have tried to do to correct it, then we can offer some solutions. What version of the iPhone, what iOS, and what year and make of vehicle?

  • HT4783 I can`t connect my MacBook Air to my iPad Air or iPhone 5 through AirDrop

    I can`t connect my MacBook Air to my iPad Air or iPhone 5 through AirDrop.
    Connection between iPad and iPhone is OK, but  MacBook doesn`t show any of my devices in the vicinity with wiFi is connected.

    iOS devices can connect to iOS devices, and OS X devices can connect to OS X devices, but iOS devices cannot connect to OS X devices through AirDrop at this time.

  • How do i pair my macbook air with my iPad??

    How do I pair my macbook air with my iPad???

    What do you mean by "pair"? If you're asking about Bluetooth pairing, the only thing you could do if you paired them would be to share the iPad's internet connection. iOS doesn't have the BT profiles for file sharing or syncing.
    If you're asking about something different, please provide some details.
    Best of luck.

    I am unable to see the airplay icon on my macbook air, iphone or iPad which would enable me to use my Bose speaker through airplay. I set this up in the UK but have taken my macbook and bose speaker travelling with through Thailand. Ive wifi in my room and am able to access the internet on my laptop, Ive also been able to through the Bose Soundlink air wifi set application connect the bose speaker to the Wifi too.
    I am only able to play my itunes through my macbook speakers and cannot find the airplay button which should be next to the volume slide once turned down to less than 1/3 of the volume..

    Thanks for your help.  Since I'm uninterested in loading all my photos (the only option) into photostream, I won't be able to use the settings in ATV.  I guess I'm just stuck with using iPhoto on my MB Air.  Thanks again.

    Sounds like you may have been in extended display mode. If so, all you had to do was drag a window to the projector display. Or, if you wanted mirrored mode, in display preferences select check mirror display.

    Since you posted in the Thunderbolt Display Community, I am guessing you are attempting to connect a MacBook Air to a Thunderbolt Display, but since you tagged projector, it makes me doubt my assumption. Can you provide some more details on what you are trying to connecto your MacBook Air to?

  • Just purchased USB SuperDrive to connect MacBook air can't eject start up disc

    just purchased USB SuperDrive to connect MacBook air can't eject start up disc? please advise

    No, of course not. The "startup disk" is the disk with your boot volume (operating system) on it. Once you boot (startup) from it it is locked as your computer will not "run" without a valid "startup disk".
    It would be similar to complaining that "I can't remove the engine from a running vehicle".

  • Tried my k3772-z modem to connect macbook air to internet and got the message: you can't use this application with this version of mac os x. Is there a setting that needs to be changed?

    Tried my k3772-z modem to connect macbook air to internet and got the message: you can't use this application with this version of mac os x. Is there a setting that needs to be changed?

    I can't help you with a direct answer.  For third-party devices you should contact the vendor (Vodafone). 
    If you have an iPhone (or an Android phone with hot-spot capability) you can use that to connect to the Internet without paying for a separate cellular service.

  • Bag that will carry MacBook air 13 AND iPad

    Ok. Let me preface this by saying I'm very very particular about my bags and what I'm looking for may not exist but I'll give it a shot. Here's what I'd like:
    1. A backpack format (although messenger or sling would be ok)
    2. Holds MacBook air 13" and iPad
    3. Laptop portion is made for the air (I.e. not "for laptops up to 15", etc.)
    4. Has several small compartments for cables, power brick, mouse, etc.
    I've looked all over and can't seem to find anything that fits this bill. There are a TON of bags for larger laptops and some even have iPad slots but I haven't seen one for an air and an iPad.

  • Nice bag for MacBook Air 13" and iPad

    I'm looking for a nice, possibly leather, bag to hold my MacBook Air 13" and iPad, both in sleeves, compact enough to 'sneak' on board a plane as an additional piece of hand luggage.  With cross body strap.  I've been looking for ages...  Could anyone recommend something, not too expensive and available in the UK please?  Many thanks, Karen  

    Yes, I must have laid my hands on a 100 diff. types, the ones i found best made, and most handy (without being extremely expensive) are the INCASE cases.
    Same cases Apple stores carry as well.    The insides are fuzzy, theyre well made, and for a 13", cost is $60 US

  • Setup Airport Extreme for the home wireless - MacBook Air, Pro, and iPad connect just fine.  Wireless will not work to Windows 7 and Vista machines - network seen, tries to connect, but fails after entering WPA key.

    Can't get Windows Vista or Windows 7 laptops to access internet via Airport Extreme.  Works fine with security on MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and iPad.  Brand new Airport, bought today.  Windows machines worked fine with existing, relatively modern Cisco home router.    The Windows machines see the wireless network, prompt for password, and then cannot connect.  Have tried all sorts of things with Windows machines, deleted existing networks, etc. even tried guest login with no security on the Airport - no luck.  Windows XP machine directly (wire) connected works fine.  Magic Jack works OK.  Light is green on the front.

    Thank you very much for your help @Sunshyn2005!!!!! I think we're good to go now!

  • Can you control a MacBook Air with an iPad?

    First off I wasn't sure where to post this so sorry if this is in the wrong place.
    I teach in a small rural high school that has decided to implement 1-to-1 technology this school year.  All students will be issued an iPad (3rd Gen), and all teachers have been issued an iPad (3rd Gen) along with a MacBook Air (I'm assuming it is whatever generation is currently new).
    So here is my conundrum.  Our school does not provide all teachers with a projector to use for presentations and such.  This means that I have to lug around my personal projector if I will need it in class that day.  What I am trying to figure out is if there is a way to control my MacBook with my iPad, while the MacBook is connected to my projector?  Ultimately I would like to be able to walk around my room with my iPad in hand with access to my MacBook and projector set up to control presentations, show things from the internet, or whatever else comes up.
    I am assuming there is some way to do this, but I really am not sure where to look since I am still fairly new with the iPad.  I've looked at apps like iTap VNC, but I am unsure if this is what I am looking for or if there is something else to consider.  Any expensive programs (over $20) or equipment is out of the question since I have to pay for it myself and will not be reimbursed.  I am unsure if this matters either, but the school is not providing us with any programs such as Keynote or other presentation programs.  I am currently using Open Office on my MacBook.
    I should probably also add that I have seen questions about using the iPad with a MacBook Pro.  I was just unsure if similar solutions would work with this scenario.
    Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    You need a remote app. Look at Team Viewer and Splashtop Remote. Both apps will allow you to control the computer from the iPad. I use Team Viewer a little now and then and you do have to get the hang of the movements and such, but both of the apps are for remote access of your computer.

  • How to connect Macbook Air to OLD tv (w/o HDMI)?

    Hi,
    I have a macbook air 11"  LATE 2010.
    I want to connect my Macbook Air to OLD TV, via VGA cable.
    It's its old tv, but it has a big screen, anyways, it does NOT have HDMI.
    I can't find the right cables I need. I tried amazon, but it gave me the wrong cable, that did not fit.
    So  can you tell me excatly what cables I need to connect my macbook to my tv, please?
    Thank you so much!

    Ok so i looked at my TV, turns out that you were right, and it does NOT have a VGA. But it has S-Video.
    I can't seem to find the model number but, I found a picture of it on the internet. It's a 10 year old HDTV  47" Panosonic TV.

    So this means that I need to get a VGA to S-video connector right?
