Copy PDFs to computer

I have 159 PDFs that I downloaded on my iPad from the Internet, not bought through iTunes. Mostly lecture notes. They're all saved in iBooks.
I'd like to copy them all to my computer.
None of the show up in the "Books" tab of my iPad in my computer's iTunes when I have it connected with the USB cable, so Syncing it through that isn't working.
Is there some way to just copy and paste them over? I've been struggling for almost two hours on what I would have thought was a very simple task. Does Apple not support copy and paste?
It seems I don't have access to iBooks PDFs through Windows Explorer either, only my camera roll?
How do I access my files? WHY IS THIS SO HARD?

I think I finally managed to find some third party software which is able to unchildproof the file transfer a bit and let me do what I want. Got my files off.
Still interested about more legitimate ways to do it, if anyone has answers.

How to copy pdf files from computer to ipad

how to copy pdf files from computer to ipad

You can PDFs to the iPad, but first you need one or more apps on the iPad that supports PDFs - unlike a 'normal' computer the iPad doesn't have a file system, and everything on it has to be associated with an app.
Options include free apps such as Apple's iBooks app and also Adobe Reader - and paid-for apps such as GoodReader (which also supports read-only of other documents types).
For iBooks you can first add the PDFs to your computer's iTunes via File > Add To Library, and you can then sync them by selecting the iPad on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (on iTunes 11 you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC) and using the Books tab on the right-hand side to select and sync them.
For Adobe Reader adnd GoodReader you can use the file sharing on the Apps tab on the right-hand side to copy them over : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4094

When I open a PDF the Computer is acting as if I haven't purchased the Acrobat Adobe XI when in fact I have.

It what way is it acting? For example do you mean that you get messages suggesting you are running a trial? If so you need to license the software. For a subscription, sign in to Acrobat. For a purchased copy, enter the serial number.

Hello Charles,
I would be concerned too if my MacBook Prowas running slowly. I found a couple of articles I recommend to help isolate and troubleshoot this issue.
I recommend reviewing this article first for possible causes of the slowness:

You can further isolate the issue by determining if it is only happening in your user account or if it is happening system-wide:

I read that I can have iworks for free on my iPad if I own a copy for my computer. Is this correct, and how do I download it wit out being charged?

I read that I can have iworks for free on my iPad if I own a copy for my computer. Is this correct, and how do I download it without being charged?

There really is nothing more to say than what Allan has already said, but to explain just a little further, what you may have read is that once you purchase an iOS app in the app store, you do not have to purchase it again if you need to download it to another iOS device. In other words once you buy the app, you can load it onto unlimited iPhones, iPod Touches or iPads.
You must be using the same iTunes account that you originally purchased the app with in order to download it again. But as Allan said, just because you have it on your Mac does not entitle you to download it free to your iPad.

"The file 'x' could not be copied because this computer is not authorized."

I am trying to get an app (VSCO Cam) from my sister's iTunes library. We are logged onto the same home share network, and I can open her library just fine, but when I click the app and click "Import", a box shows up and says, "The file "VSCO CAM could not be copied because this computer is not authorized." I'm not sure wat computer it's talking about, buton both computers we've got up to the "Store" button, clicked "Authorize this computer", and we've entered OUR OWN Apple ID's. Now, the one we use for homesharing is different, and we both have our own apple ID's, which I put in my own, and she put in her own when asked to authorize our computers. Should we be putting in the ID we use when we homeshare when asked to authorize? Or will that change everything about our iTunes libraries.
I can import a song just rom her library just fine, it's only when I try to do the app/.

How to change the path of sysprep files that were copied to reference computer when i capture the image from reference.

Dears ,,
how to change the path that sysprep were copied to reference computer when i capture the image from reference.
Should i modify some codes in LTIAPPLY.wsf? how to modify it?
Thanks.

Sysprep and capture has *Three* steps.
1. Run sysprep on the local machine (easy).
2. Copy WinPE down to the local machine so we can reboot into winpe for capture.
3. Capture the drive in an *offline* state from within WinPE.
What is most likely happening is that you are having problems with step #2. 100MB is *WAY* too small to copy down WinPE. By default MDT will make this System partition much bigger, 499MB. IF you install Windows 7 from the default media. IT will only create
a 100MB partition.
By default MDT 2012 Update 1 and greater *should* recover to a fallback drive with the OS on it, however if you are running older versions that might not happen correctly.
If you are still having problems, copy your BDD.log file to a public share like OneDrive and copy the link here.

Does iTunes Match back up all of my music to the cloud so it can be downloaded on any computer regardless if there is a hard copy on the computer?

So I need to restore my computer soon.
With iTunes match I know it backs my library up to the cloud, but do I need the original copy on a computer to access my library?
So if I have iTunes match, then I restore my computer to a factory image, would I be able to re-download all of my music from iCloud back onto my computer even if the music wasn't purchased in iTunes?
All answers are appreciated, thanks.

Hi,
You do not need to have original on you computer when you redownload your music from the cloud.
However, it is essential that you back up all your music to an external hard drive should you need to recover any original track.

Copying pictures to computer I am seeing multiple "LOCAL DISK" icons

Copying pictures to computer I am seeing multiple "LOCAL DISK" icons in DCIM subfolder that were not there prior to ios8 upgrade. Are they supposed to be there or is it possible virus?

edit: nevermind - problem solved.
To the OP - It's not a virus, it appears to be a new way Apple has updated it's photos section that summarizes certain elements of each photo. I found that if you scroll down, you'll find your pictures (if that's what you were looking for).
I also found that you can still "right mouse click" the iPhone icon in My Computer and "import pictures and videos" with no issue.

Please help - how to copy DVD to computer so that it will play on computer

I apologize if this is the wrong forum, but I am stuck. I have a DVD of my son-in-law's memorial service that I need to copy onto my computer in a playable form. The DVD itself works great on both the TV, and on the computer (playing with iDVD on the latter). However, I simply do not know how to copy the contents of the DVD to my hard drive so that it will play directly from the drive, and so that I can place the video file in my .Mac public folder for relatives to download. When I open (not play) the DVD, I see two folders: AUDIO_TS which is empty, and VIDEO_TS, which contains files. I have copied these to my hard drive, and I have also made a disk image of the DVD on my drive. However, neither of these gives me a file on which I can click and get it to play. (If I insert the DVD itself into the computer, iDVD launches and the movie plays). Please help. Thank you!

Copy PDF within Portfolio

Feature Request: Copy PDF within Portfolio
Within an Acrobat Portfolio, you cannot select a PDF, drag the selection with the CTRL, and have Acrobat make a copy of the PDF. The "copy" and "paste" are grey when a PDF is selected. Often I want to make a copy of a PDF and make numerous modifications to the copy. Currently, I have to export the original PDF, and then import it again with a different name to make a copy in the Portfolio. I hope you can add this feature. Thanks

With Adobe Reader you can copy data, but to create a new PDF with the copied data you need Acrobat or http://createpdf.acrobat.com/

Can't copy pdfs or songs onto my iPhone 4s

After the latest software update, I can no longer copy pdfs to my iPhone 4s. In the past, I just dragged the pdf from my Mac onto my device in iTunes. Now, I can no longer do that. I also added the pdf to my iTunes library and tried to copy it to my phone from there and that did not work either. Then I realized that I could no longer manually copy songs from iTunes to my phone.
I ran through some help documents and the only one that seemed to address this said that I had to uncheck "Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically" in iTunes preferences and then run Sync. However, I do not want to automatically sync because I do not want my entire, extensive library of songs on my phone. I want to just add items manually, especially pdfs that I would like to be able to read om my phone.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

the videos were in the correct format because i even made a new copy in itunes for ipod/iphone but it was not letting me sync neither videos or music but i fixed it the issue was that i was using a different usb cord than the original becuase mine was tolen so i bought one in ebay and i was using that one to sync my stuff and it was not letting me i was not getting any error message or anything it was like just syncing but nothing was being transfer to my phone so what i did was used the original usb cable from my ipod touch to try and sync and it worked. because i resetted to as new and everything but it was not working until i used the original usb cord to do it Thanks for answering
