Downloading an mp3 file onto an iPad Air

Hi!
I have some songs on my MacBook. My MacBook has a version of iTunes that is too old to be compatible with my iPad Air. So, in my iPad iTunes, I currently only have tracks from the iTunes Cloud.
In order to move other tracks across (that I put on my MacBook from cds, etc), I created a file using Hightail (YouSendIt, as was), sent it to my email addy, opened my email whilst on my iPad, and clicked the "download" button. The track started playing immediately. So far, so good. But ... where is it on my iPad? It is not in my iTunes and I can't see where else it might be. The email link will expire in 7 days, so I can't keep playing it from that.
Can I download things to my iPad iTunes? Lots of the tracks I have are not available to buy, having come from live concerts, etc.

It will only be in the Mail app linked to that email's attachment. You won't be able to get it into the Music app (iTunes on an iPad is just the iTunes store) on your iPad, you can only get music into that by downloading it from the iTunes store directly on your iPad or by syncing from a computer's iTunes. You may find third-party music apps in your country's app store that allow you to download music into them from websites and/or copy from email attachments.

Can i download mp3 files in my ipad air?

Hello, I tried to play mp3 files from a website like I always did. Since update to IOS 8.1 it doesn't work anymore. Then I searched a way to download them into the Ipad air for offline use. Didn't find any.
I could play the files on the Ipad only if I sent them as email attachments to my own email address from a PC, but could play them only within the email. Tried to download or copy them into the Ipad.
Please help me find a way to do this, it is very important to me, because these files are training files for choir voices, I sing in this choir and I need the exercise. Greetings from Grueni

You can download and install iTunes from here : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you do that then when you connect your iPad to it you will probably get a prompt in iTunes about whether you want to set up the iPad as a new device or restore from a backup on that computer i.e. whether you want to replace what you currently have on your iPad with what is in that computer's iTunes library. There are some steps on this page (the page is written specifically for phones, but it applies to iPads as well) for syncing to a new computer (and to therefore stop the current contents of the iPad being replaced by what's on that computer) : Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive
Some of the steps on that page are slightly different now, newer versions of iTunes have slightly different menu options to when that page was written e.g. step 5 is File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, and steps 7 and 8 can also be done via the File > Devices menu.
If you download the MP3s on your computer then you should be able to add them to its iTunes library via the File > Add To Library menu option (which I think can be accessed via control-O on a PC). Syncing with iTunes : Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB.
I've just tried the GoodReader app that I included in my last reply, and that allows me to navigate to a site and download an MP3 into the app from it, though it may not work with all sites (it might depend upon how they are stored/accessed on it) : http://www.goodreader.com/gr-man-tr-web.html

Is there any way to re-install iOS 7.1.2 onto an iPad Air?

Hi all,
I have installed iOS 8 onto my iPad Air. Whilst it is by and and large reasonable there are a couple of apps that just don't work. Both warmed flawlessly before i updated.
The first problem is shown here deals with TV Cover Art and appears in another thread. --->
discussions.apple.com/message/26651318#26651318.
For some reason that address will not cut and paste to provide a useable link. If you cut and paste it into Google that will get you there.
The second and most annoying thing is that Photos is behaving erratically. In the Albums/Events from my Mac folder all the "Events" are there but they are arranged like a dogs' breakfast and not alphabetically.
iPhoto does not work. Presumably because it has been superseded by something called "Photo" which will be part of Yosemite when it is released. Not much use as Yosemite is not being released for another month. I assume that is why "My Photo Stream" is missing from the iPad. "My Photo Stream" is a useful tool if a mobile device is stolen. If the thief is stupid enough to take photos with it they will appear there and and on any mobile device that was not stolen. You have a better chance of getting the item back. Most people will be well aware of the "Find my iPhone" app and will switch it off.
Everything was working perfectly before iOS 8 and it is working perfectly on my iPhone because I have not updated it and don't intend to.
I realise I will have no option with iOS 8 when I stop dithering and buy an iPhone 6 Plus.
So, if anyone knows if it is possible to download iOS 7.1.2 I would be grateful if they could let me know.
Thanks people :-)

How do I get my PDF files onto my ipad

I spoke to apple in February and they helped me put ove a hundred PDF files onto my ipad. When I open acrobat under the heading of documents is where all the files reside. I even made subfolders. Well, I forgot how to do it and called apple again today and they told me with the new ibook update, all pdf files get placed under ibooks. not only that, I cannot make subfolders. Their only suggestion was to get an account with acrobat and transfer them that way. I uploaded the files here, but now I cannot figure out how to get them onto my ipad. Any help would be appreciated.

You can either select GoodReader at the bottom of the iPad's apps tab when connected to you computer's iTunes - it should appear as one apps that support file sharing (there is info on file sharing in the manual which can be downloaded from here http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad). Or the app itself supports wifi transfer via you wifi network - just touch the wifi symbol (next to the camera) at the bottom of the app on your iPad, and you should be given an address to use on your computer's browser so as to transfer files to/from the app.

Do you use iCloud on your devices?
Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices.
Set up iCloud on both devices then go to settings>iCloud>Contacts>On. Turn on the other options as well if you would like to use those with iCloud.

My iTunes is no longer working. I uninstalled and reinstalled but the program won't open and run. I was trying to download an mp3 file last evening and I think something has been deleted that I need to open the iTunes. How do i figure out what is gone

I uninstalled and reinstalled but the program still won't open. I was trying to download an mp3 file last evening. Instead the site tried to install a new audio player. I did not want it so uninstalled it immediately. I think in that process something was deleted that I need for iTunes but I do not know what. How do i figure out what is gone and recover it?
I did try a system restore - but that was not a fix either.

Ackk ... that behavior is consistent with the play_mp3.exe trojan:

Try downloading and installing the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware. Update your MBAM definitions and then run a full scan of the PC. (Takes about 2 hour on my Lenovo.)

Okay, you are using Windows 7. What version of iTunes do you have. Please don't tell me the most current one, go into Help then About iTunes and read what it says.

I have a 32 gb ipad air but need to get the songs I have stored in iTunes on my old iMac onto the ipad air or stored somewhere else. I have over 10000 songs on there which is 30.47 gb. far too much to put on my ipad air. How do I get them off my old iMac which has no internet connection ? And where do I put them. Any help would be appreciated

No I don't have another computer. I was thinking initially I would put them on my ipad but since I don't have enough gb maybe I can store them in some cloud thing? Sorry am a bit of a Luddite when it comes to all this. I just need to have them stored someplace and accessible to play when I need to. Thanks for your help.

How I can download my iTunes playlist onto my IPad mini

Hi all,
Does anybody know how I can download my iTunes playlist onto my IPad mini so that I can play it without being connected to WiFi? At the moment if I am not in a WiFi zone I can't play my music...
Thanks!

Apple devices can hold protected content from up to five different accounts, however updating apps purchased over more than one account (as far as I'm aware) requires signing in and out of each account. You may be better off continuing to use one account for your family, as I do, but disabling the options on each device for the automatic download of purchases made on the account, and in iTunes, the automatic inclusion of new apps when syncing from the library to the device.

How do I load microsoft office and pdf files onto an Ipad

How do I load microsoft office and pdf files onto an Ipad?

You can email them, you can use DropBox, SugarSync or another cloud service or you can use iOS file sharing.
But in all cases you need an app on the iPad that will open and save those types of files. iBooks, Adobe Readers, Good Reader and Save 2 PDF will all save PDF files.
Documents to Go, Quick Office Pro and the Apple iWorks apps will open and save the MS office files. You can Google - "iPad apps that are compatible with Microsoft Office files" and you will find other alternatives - or search the app store for more.
You can read this as well for some instruction on getting those files onto an iPad.

How can i download an Eps file on my ipad?

Can anybody help me download an eps file on my ipad?

As Julian said the .eps file format isn't supported so you can't download it and open it on the iPad. Maybe you could have a designer enlarge the .eps file in Illustrator so that when it is saved to the .jpg format it will not look as blurry when you enlarge it. The designer could try saving the file as a .pdf as well and that may help with the resolution issue. I know nothing about Keynote and if you can even place a .pdf file in the presentation but that may be the best solution if you can.
