Export file from GB iPad to GB desktop - how?

I can't work out how to export a GB iPad file to use on the desktop? Surely you must be able to to do this?
Secondly when you edit a file, and mess it up, how on earth do you stop it overwriting the good file? Again I can't believe there is no 'save as' equivalent so you can avoid overwriting existing files.
Appreciate any help.

You know in retrospect, I agree with your explanation, cmo44. There is a difference.
I'm used to just "coping with" whatever new paradigm software has, especially when we're still at 1.0, and I'm an ardent user of the Feedback link to suggest features and functions for future versions.
I sync my iPad every day, so basically, any time I have worked on a song on the iPad, I sync that (transfer) off to my main machine and do incremental version back ups there.
If I ever wreck my song while using the iPad—next session—I can go back to my other version that's saved on the computer - of course then having to work in GB 11.
I haven't been thinking of GB4iP as an app to create finished versions of anything with (frankly, with only 4/4 as a time signature choice, it's pretty much useless to me as a composer - but it's still fine for sketching out riffs, ideas, phrases... I mean, I can still do something in 7/4 with a 4/4 timeline, I just have to ignore the pulse, which is not a big deal.)
I'm basically looking at the GB4iP app to be a place to capture musical ideas when I am NOT in my studio, and also an instrument to jam on with other musicians (that's REALLY fun), but not an end all be all recording tool. As impressive, well designed, and fun as it is, it's still a 1.0 and it has a long way to go to be able to truly become the portable "peer" to GB11 and Logic that I believe Apple must view the product as destined to be. I'm positive they can and will get there, but it's just off the starting blocks.

How do i transfer Page files from my ipad to my desktop mac?

how do i transfer Page files from my ipad to my desktop mac? The mac help page doesnt help as my ipad files dont show up in itunes.

How do I transfer non-iTunes music files from my iPad to my MacBook using home sharing?

My MacBook Pro hard drive recently had to be replaced by Apple, because it quit for some reason they couldn't identify. However, now my ipad2 doesn't recognize my macbook pro and I have at least 200 music files in my library on my iPad that I did not get from iTunes. I need to upgrade my iPad to iOS 5 but I also don't want to lose all those music files. I was hopeful I could use home sharing to sync my iTunes libraries, but I can't figure out how to export files from my iPad. Please help, anyone?

I was hopeful I could use home sharing to sync my iTunes libraries,
Unfortunately, you can only stream content to your iOS devices via home sharing (not sync it).
I'd have a check through the following user tip instead:

How to copy files from an iPad app to your computer?

I thought I'd post this since the online help leaves out a step and this might be confusing to other users as well.
To export a file from the iPad to your computer, you need to first "Export" the file (at least in Pages you need to). To do this you:
1. Select *My Documents* in the upper left (if you're in the file on the iPad)
2. Select the Transfer icon at the bottom of the screen
3. Select Export
4. Select the *File Format* you want
5. Go to *iTunes > Apps > File Sharing* (at the bottom of the page)
6. Select your *App (Pages)* -- +You may need to re-select this. The first time I copied the file (even after the above) it still copied the old file (weird). Re-selecting refreshes the file list on the right. You can check the date stamp of the file as well.+
7. *Drag and drop the file* to your desktop from iTunes (this is the step the online help describes, but it leaves out the export step above.
I hope this helps...
+(A note to Apple: You should make file sharing easier. Maybe move the function to the tools menu in all your apps. I'd suggest this is where people expect Export, Mail, and Print functions to be...)+

On your iPad open your PDF in the Adobe Reader app

Select the 'Get Started' button
Enter you Adobe ID and password
Your file should be saved up to Acrobat.com
Go to your PC
Launch your internet browser
Open https://files.acrobat.com/
Log into Acrobat.com with the same Adobe ID as you used on your iPad
Your file should be available

Select to open
Once open you can save to your desktop

How do I move a file from my mailbox to my desktop/

How do I move a file from my mailbox to my desktop ?

As there is no "desktop" on the iPad, do you mean you want to move a file attachment from an email received on your iPad to the desktop of your computer?
If so, the easiest way is just to access your email account on your computer and save the attachment directly.

Hi, can I upload Pages files from my iPad to Google Sites? More specifically, a File Cabinet page?

Hi, can I upload Pages files from my iPad to Google Sites?
I set up a File Cabinet page, and when I touch "Add file," it only allows me to select files from my Photo Stream. I'd like to be able to select files from my Pages documents.
I am trying to use Sites for my students' ePortfolio, and the only way I can manage to get files onto the file cabinet is to export it to an app which will, in turn, save it as a photo. This process will be a monster when I'm trying to get a bunch of freshmen to upload their portfolio artifacts from Pages.
iPad implementation has been very frustrating for my school--I wish they had laptops!
Thanks!

PS -- I really did search the community for this topic. I apologize if it's a repeated question.

Anyone have experience moving files from an iPad to a Mac?

Dear Folks,
I need a way to transfer files from my iPad to my Mac, to deal with the content (music and videos right now, but probably other types of files in the future) that iTunes doesn't back up. I've come across two programs that supposedly will let me mount an iPad on the Mac desktop and/or allow me to transfer files from it to my Mac. Deggie and dwb also know of several and have kindly mentioned them. So, I'm considering:
IMToo Podworks for Mac (http://www.imtoopodworks.com/pod-works-mac.html)
Air Sharing HD (http://avatron.com/apps/air-sharing-hd/)
Senuti (http://www.fadingred.com/senuti/)
Yamipod (http://www.yamipod.com/main/modules/home/)
iRip (http://thelittleappfactory.com/irip/)
Does anyone reading this have an opinion on (or experience with) how well any of these work?
Free vs fee isn't an issue for me, how well it functions is.
Thanks!

I can tell you with certainty that for documents of any kind "GoodReader" is an excellent app. It will let you connect to your mac via wi-fi. It mounts it as an external drive and you can create folders and drag files to the folders.
I haven't tried dragging any movies or music but there wouldn't be anything to stop you from doing so. There is also a file management component to the app that lets you choose an "Open with ... " type of dialog and open a file with pages if it is a .doc file, or GoodReader can open pdf, doc, xls and many other doc types.
Very happy with this .99 cent app. I agree with the other question though. If I rip a dvd, I use handbrake to convert to mp4 and add to my iTunes - then sync as per normal.

How can I export photos from my iPad or iPod to my main computer or hard drive. My old computer died and I want to get my photos onto my new computer. Thanks in advance.

HOw can I export photos from my iPad or iPod to my main computer? My old computer died with my photos on it but I want to move my photo library from my iPad or iPod to the computer I just bought. Thanks for any help you can give.

Sorry but your iPhoto library is not on an iPad or iPod - you may have photos there (most likely low resolution copies) but not an iPhoto library - dying computers (along with software and human errors) are why you always must have a backup - now is the time to load it

There are 2 versions of a document file on my iPad.
I want to get rid of the obsolete one.
The iPad Users Guide does not describe how to delete a document file.
This is very frustrating!

The iPad Guide is for the iPad itself, not other apps you may install.

Delete a document from your iOS device

Drag a file from a folder to my desktop

When I try to drag a file from a folder to my desktop, it gets thrown to the upper left-hand corner, almost all of it 'off' the desktop, not where I tried to 'set' it...wuwt?

In ~/Library/Preferences: Trash helpviewer.plist and helpviewer.plist.lockfile

Restart iMac, and then Empty Trash.

Make sure the old iPad is synched using iTunes (or iCloud).

Sending the photos over WiFi might be the easiest way for you to accomplish this. The Wireless Transfer App should work. You will both have to download the app on your own devices. Read about it here.
