Downloading Files from Laptop to iPad

I recently added numerous files (.mp3 files and iTune purchases etc.) on my Toshiba Laptop via iTunes (which I had previously downloaded to my Laptop) to my Apple/iTunes? library. All these files appeared in my Laptop iTunes music songs list. I then connected a USB cable between my iPad 4 and my Laptop and iMatched them. Not all files appeared on my iPad iTunes music list.
I then purchased iCloud via my Laptop and uploaded all files on my Laptop iTunes music list to iCloud (I think!). I then turned iCloud ON in my iPad settings. Now I have clouds with down arrows as well as red circles next to a multitude of files which iTunes indicates are files waiting or progressing to download to my iPad. The problem I now have is 2 fold: (1) These files have still not downloaded after 2 days even though I have wifi connected! (2) Some files that appear on my Laptop iTunes music list still do not appear on my iPad iTunes music list. I would appreciate help to resolve these 2 problems. Additionally, is it possible to view the files stored in iCloud in order to confirm they have arrived there?

Hi,
I am confused by your comments.
Itunes match and icloud are two different products.
Have you purchased Itunes match and had your music matched or uploaded to the cloud? You cannot manually sync with USB when you have match.
Icloud storage does not back up non itunes purchased music.
Would you please expand on your problem.
Jim

You can also email the photos to yourself, open the email on your iPad and save the photo to your Camera Roll. But for a large number of photos, the above referenced syncing is better. Just be aware that synced photos from iTunes can only be deleted the same way - using iTunes.

Getting files from laptop to iPad for email

I have been stuck trying to find a solution for this problem.
I have a desktop, laptop and iPad2. My iPad generally syncs with the desktop (which has my photos, complete iTunes library, etc.).
I regularly travel to a location that has no internet access. My laptop cannot connect. However, my iPad does have 3G service in the area and can send/receive email.
There are many times where I have to create a file and send to clients for review. These are primarily PDF files, but sometimes I also need to send graphic files (jpeg, eps). These files are created on the laptop and cannot be created on the iPad.
The problem is - how can I get these files from the laptop to the iPad and attach them to an email?
Laptop is a MacBook Pro. Currently running 10.6.8, but will eventually go to 10.7. It has bluetooth, airport and USB to connect to the iPad. I just cannot figure out how to get the files over and available to mail.
Is there a solution or an app? As it stands, when I am in this "no internet" location, I am unable to work - I can create the files, but not send them to the people who need them.
Any ideas?

I have Dropbox on my laptop and my iPad.
Dropbox can only email a link, not the actual file. I would rather avoid this extra step for my clients - although if it were the only workaround, I guess I could live with it.
Real problem is that the laptop is offline. Only the iPad is online (via 3G). If my laptop could access Dropbox, I could email the file itself from that machine.
How do I get the file from the offline laptop to the iPad (dropbox or otherwise) so it can be emailed?

Out of interest Magnus, what did you find that was so 'ghastly' about Docs to Go?
I and many others love the app.
Just curious.
It is of course very subjective. DocsToGo can do a lot of things, and it probably does some things better and some things less good. If you use it for what it does well, it may be a good choice.
My own personal experience, however, was thorough disappointment. I bought it for one single purpose: to display and edit Google Docs documents. This function was only "available" in the expensive version, so that's what I bought. However, it turned out that "available" did not mean "working" - at least not working well. To make it work at all, I spent a few hours looking for forums and solutions, and it turned out that DocsToGo asks you to switch to the old version of Google Docs. I could not do that, because then Google Docs could not read my older documents, created with the new version. Ergo, DocsToGo was unable to do the only thing I wanted it to do: view and edit my documents.
DocsToGo claims this is due to a bug at Google, and that may be so, but no matter whose fault it is, I paid extra money to DocsToGo, who did not warn me that the only functionality I wanted was unavailable due to this "bug" at Google.
I did some attempts to use it as a local word processor, forgetting about Google Docs. However, it did not impress me there either: the default font was too small for my taste, there is no word auto-completion as in Pages, there is an ugly time lag between you hit a key and it displays in the document, and pretty soon I just gave up. Twelve Euro down the drain. Well, I can survive that loss. I just wish the money had gone to someone who deserved it.
I'm sure some people are happy with the local word processing, and if some friend of mine buys it for that purpose and is happy with it, I will not push for him to switch to Pages.
It is just that to me Pages does some things better than DocsToGo. Where Pages fails, DocsToGo fails as well, so the application satisfies none of my needs.

Actually, you can get photos onto an ipad from a PC. Connect them via USB (or wireless sync if you have that set up), go to the photos tab in iTunes, I don't have iTunes in front of me but there will be an option to sync photos from a folder on the PC to the iPad. You can choose an existing folder or make a new folder specifically for this purpose. Put the photos in said folder and then sync.
The photos from that folder will be transferred to your iPad

I have music in my laptop in itune folder.How do I transfer music from itune in laptop to itune in ipad2.

If you have iTunes installed on the computer, you have to make sure it is the current version.
Just run iTunes and go to "File > Check for Update" to check whether your iTunes is the latest one. Then, use USB cable to connect iPad with computer as well.
After iTunes recognize your iTunes, just hit "iPad" tab under the "DEVICE" section of the iTunes sidebar. On the right screen, you can see a new window to list you all categories of iPad. Just hit "Music" tab. Check the box next to "Sync Music" and click the circle next to "Entire music library" or "Selected playlists, artists and genres." Click the boxes next to specific artists, playlists and genres if you want to sync specific music to your iPad.
Now, you may press the "Apply" button in the bottom-right corner of the main iTunes screen, followed by "Sync" in the same area to transfer the music to your iPad.

Best way to transfer DVD videos from laptop to ipad air

Best way to transfer DVD videos from laptop to ipad air

presuming they're not copywriteed commercial dvd's, you can use a program like Handbrake to convert the dvd files to mp4's that you can then import into iTunes and sync to your device.
If they're copywritted commercial dvd's then you'd have to break the copywrite encoding to transcode the files and since that is illegal in the US no one here can help you with that.

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)
