Copying a document to iPhone

I have a Pages document on my iMac (Lion) that I want to copy to my iPhone4 (Verizon). I have the Pages App on my iPhone and want to edit the document on my iPhone. How do I get the document to the iPhone? I have tried moving the document to iTunes and then syncing, but the document won't move to iTunes.
TIA,
picman

have you tried to connect the iphone and click on it in ituns and click on the app tab
and see if pages offer an add files there?

  • Copying Documents To iPhone.

    I have a number of documents on my Mac and my PC which I would like to also have on my iPhone. They are documents such as timetables, price lists etc.
    What is the best way to get them from computer (or hard copy for that matter) to iPhone?

    Hi,
    A couple of more choices, Quick Office, Filemagnet. One I have just found and is extremely cool is PasteBot. It isn't a filing system really but it will grab anything you copy with copy paste on the iPhone or the mac when synced and hold on to it. It is like a filing system for the clipboard. You can grab snips of just about anything then move it between the mac and the iphone when ever you are ready.
    Quick Office will read and write Word and Excel files and can display any iWork document as well as images and pdfs. It uses wifi to transfer files. It displays a web address for you to type in to your browser on the mac and then you can access files and move them between devices.
    There are many apps that will do this but these I have found to be quite powerful and well developed.

  • Copy document from computer to Iphone e-mail this document from iphone

    My only internet is my iphone. I want to use it to e-mail files I work on on my desktop mac. I tried downloading diskaid, and while I can copy files to the iphone, I can't access these files from the iphone. Can anyone please help? I also want to be able to use the iphone to download files to my computer, such as software updates.

    If your phone is your only internet, you're out of luck. From the Dropbox description: +"This app works with the Dropbox service, and is not intended as a stand-alone product."+ In other words, you'd need to upload files to the Dropbox server from your computer (requiring an internet connection), then you could access them from the phone, and email them from there.
    Does your computer have Wi-Fi? If so, you can create a computer-to-computer network on the computer, connect your iPhone to that, and use another app like Files or File Magnet to transfer the file(s) like Word docs to your iPhone, then email them from there.
    But, it sounds like what you really need is a tethering solution, which allows you to use your cell phone as a modem for your computer. AT&T does not currently support tethering for the iPhone, although they do for other phones.

  • Is there any way to copy content from my iPhone to a brand new Mac with a blank iTunes library?

    Bit of background:
    This time last week, I had a MacBook Air and a 6 year old desktop PC. Everything I had was on both of them, so they acted as each other's back up. This Sunday evening just gone, my PC finally died a traumatic death, and I can't even get it to boot from Safe Mode. Then on Monday while I was at work, my house was burgled, and my MacBook Air was stolen, amongst many other things. All I have now is my iPhone 4S which was with me at the time. All my music, photos, videos etc are on my iPhone, but I'm very aware that when I eventually get my replacement MacBook from our insurance company (I'm being realistic and accepting that I'll never see my stuff again), as soon as I plug my phone into a blank iTunes library, I'll lose everything that's on there. Obviously I can re-download everything I've purchased from iTunes, though it will take a VERY long time and I still won't have playlists etc, and I can probably either Dropbox or email what photos I have on there, but I have a lot of video clips from over the last few years that aren't on my camera roll - they're in the phone as proper videos, in the video player app, and I can't get Dropbox to view that location, or figure out how to email them. The videos are very important to me and I really don't want to lose them; so much so that I'm thinking of never syncing my iPhone ever again!
    Basically, what I'm asking is, how can I copy everything from my iPhone into a blank iTunes library? Is it even possible?
    ANY input whatsoever would be greatly appreciated - I really don't want to lose all my content over this, so please please please help if you can!
    Thanks in advance

    wjosten - thanks very much for the detailed instructions. I'll try this as soon as I get my replacement and it looks like you'll probably end up getting the green tick

  • Delete partially copied movie file from iPhone. Shows grayed out in Videos on the iPhone but it doesn't show up in iTunes.

    Hello.
      I have synced my iPhone 4S with iTunes and I got an error while copying one movie. Now this movie shows up grayed out in videos on the iPhone but NOT in iTunes. Hence, I cannot delete this partially copied movie from my iPhone. And since it is grayed out, the right-to-left swipe does not work. I have resynced with "no movies" option so that every movie would be deleted and indeed every movie was deleted except for the problematic one. I rebooted the iPhone several times in case it was a glitch. No success. I even tried tools like iExplorer and DiskAid but I cannot find this **** file. Is there any way to delete this partially copied file from the iPhone without having to restore it?
    Regards,
    HawkeyeQ

    Hi adtsalmon,
    You can only watch the movie on the device you rented it on. Here's a snippet from the Apple Support site (italics mine):
    If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
    If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
    Here's the link to the Movie Rentals FAQs site FYI:

    Hope this helps!
    Cheers,

  • Can't open document on iPhone from Pages via iCloud

    Trying to open a document on iPhone via iCloud only to get the following error messages from within Pages (iOS version): "Opening this document requires an internet connection".  Am connected to internet using WiFi and the Documents and Data field is set to "Yes" in iClouds section of Settings.  Document is present on iCloud.com.  Tried deleting and reinstalling Pages; turning D&D field to No and back to Yes, rebooting iph00ne

    It seems to be hit or miss if this works or not, but try opening Pages on the iPad, then before you select a document, on the very first screen, hit the "Edit" button, then select your document. Then click the arrow coming out of the box in the upper left corner & email the document to yourself. Try opening the email on a computer, selecting the file and adding the pages file type (.pages) to the end of the name. Then try reopening it in Pages.
    I don't know if this is what happened in your case, but it seems like sometimes iWork documents lose that file type indicator & then Pages (numbers/ Keynote) won't open them.

    Willy, the procdedure you describe works perfectly for AppleTV G1. In fact, I frequently play DTS music discs ripped to my iTunes library as Apple Lossless (ALAC) and synched to the ATV. What happens is that, as far as iTunes and the ATV are concerned, a conventional stereo 16/44 audio file is being played; however my reciever detects the DTS data stream, and instead of outputting static, it decodes the 5.1 channels correctly. This process parallels the way DTS discs were designed to be played back: a conventional CD player is connceted, via digital out, to a DTS-aware reciever/pre-amp and the two channels of static are recognized as 6 channels of DTS-encoded audio.
    However this process will only work if the player (CD, ATV, PC, etc.) sends a "bit-perfect" 16 bit/44.1 khz data stream to the decoding device. In the case of ATV G2 and G3, as has been discussed elsewhere, the unit resmaples all audio - including 16/44 PCM (Redbook CD)  - to 16/48. While this is not a big deal for conventional audio CDs, MP3s, and AAC files, it mangles the fragile DTS datastream and renders it undecodable. The resulting static that you hear is just like the static you would hear if you played a DTS CD on a non-DTS capable system.
    Sadly, I'm not aware of any easy way around this. You could use a program like Foobar (and the DTS plugin) to convert your DTS CDs to 6-ch .wav or .flac file. From there you could transcode the file to AC-3 and then mux it into a video container that ATV supports. You may need add a dummy video track, for iTunes/AppleTV to be ok with the file, though I'm not sure. This may be a lot of work.
    Sorry for the bad news. I wish that the iTunes/ATV ecosystem had better multi-channel audio support.

  • What is the direct connect method for transfering photos from my macbook pro to my iphone without using iTunes syncronization? (iow: a simple photo copy from mac to iphone?)

    I feel like I should know the answer to this. I can't believe it is a hard question.
    What is the direct connect method for transfering photos from my macbook pro to my iphone without using iTunes syncronization? (iow: a simple photo copy from mac to iphone?)
    Easy? Right?
    Just plug my iphone in to a mac and copy a photo from the mac to my iphone.
    I don't have internet access - I can't email it, or mobileme it, or dropbox it.

    iTunes. Other than that there is no direct method. However, do try the iPhone forums.

  • Why is it so hard to copy pictures from my iPhone to my iPad?

    I want to use iCloud to backup both my iPhone and iPad, but not any of the pictures on these devices.  I want to backup the pictures to my iMac, since they take up so much space.  What is the best way to do this?  What is the correct way to copy pictures from my iPhone to the iPad without using any 3rd party apps?  I figured out how to import pictures from my iPhone into iPhoto.  I unplugged my iPhone and plugged in my iPad.  Then I tried dragging and dropping the pictures, within the iPhoto application, onto the iPad.  This doesn't work.  Then I tried dragging and dropping them onto the iPad in iTunes.  This also doesn't work because I get a message telling me that my iPad can't play jpegs.  I eventually figured out I had to open my ipad in itunes and change my backup settings from icloud to "this computer".  Then I click on the photos tab at the top and find my album and sync it.  But when I sync it is also syncing everything else to the computer as well, which is something I wanted to handle with the icloud.  It seems like it is intentionally difficult to succeed in the way I want to, just so I am forced to buy extra storage space on icloud.  This is very frustrating.  Any help is much appreciated.

    I can't see why it has too many steps? I transferred all my camera roll to my PC (yep, not a Mac) when I needed to do a restore. Then told iTunes to sync that folder, and wow, they're back on my iPhone! I'll get to the point where I'll will put them into their own folders according to the event, and syncing will magically sort them out on my iPhone too. If I later want to add more photos to that event, I just drag and drop into that folder. iTunes will pretty much sync my iPhone everytime it's connected anyway, so it's no effort at all.
    With the amount of hard drive storage space available to pretty much every PC/Mac these days, it's not really an issue having a backup of wallpapers, is it? Will it honestly affect the space you'll have available for everything else?

  • Help copy large file from iPhone to PC

    Hello Everybody.
    I’m coding the Record application. However, I have problem with copying the file from iPhone device to the PC after recording. I used Attach File function on Email but it doesn’t allow with large size > 10MB file. I haven’t found any solution yet for this problem. iTune 9.0 has “Include Voice Memos” function, can i do the same with my application ? “Include My App” e.g.
    Anybody knows other solution for this problem?
    Thanks for read

    You could check your approach against this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  If you are still having trouble you could try an app that will send it wirelessly, such as PhotoSync.

  • Copy running song from iPhone player to my application

    Also, if anyone can let me know the way how can I integrate own music player and music beats concept?
