File Sharing between iPad 2 and Mac

Hello -
I have an iPad 2 (recently updated to the OS 6) and a fully updated MacBook Pro. My iTunes is also the current 10.7 version.
On my PC, I am able to locate the file sharing portion of the apps section in iTunes. (I'm particularly interested in sharing the created projects from GarageBand for iPad to the GarageBand on my Mac.) However, for some reason, the File sharing doesn't appear in the apps section of iTunes on my Mac. I'm not sure what's going on, but I'd really appreciate it if someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong.

No, I 100% agree with Kenneth.
File Sharing: Ticked
Windows Sharing: On
Folders I want to share from have been added in the box, eg Movies, TV etc.
Users: Myself - Read and Write. Everyone - Read Only
Share Files and Folders using SMB: Ticked
My name under 'Account' is also ticked
Note: I am the only user on this computer, and so I am administrator.
OK.... Now we've got the 'are you stupid' questions out of the way, hopefully someone can provide me a meaningful solution. Sorry if you can read the frustration in my words, i've searched a hundred forums all with 'solutions' that might as well be asking "is the computer switched on?"
So moving on. On the LG Blu-Ray player, under movies it does display the folders I want to share from, Movies, TV, etc, under DANNY-MAC-MINI. So far so good. However, once I try to enter a folder, it asks for an ID and Password. I've tried my login credentials for my Mac 10 times - it says incorrect, try again. What is going wrong here??? Does anyone know?
Thanks

HT201301 I've backed up my iPad and lost a years worth of work in Pages. Is there any way to get it back? I had done file sharing between iPad and Mac but it only saved one of the Pages documents.

I've backed up and updated my ipad and lost a years worth of work in Pages. Is it possible to get it back? Before I updated I tried to do filesharing with my Mac but it would only share 1 document from Pages. All the others have gone.

Why has file sharing between iPad and iTunes stopped working?

After installing the new version of iTunes and Lion my iPad shared files no longer appear in the Shared Files window in the Apps tab. For instance I use Artrage and have imported many of my drawings using iTunes....but now this no longer works. I contacted Artrage and they say that this does not seem to be a problem with specific Apps because they are seeing similar complaints from other people with the same problem but with different Apps. I no longer have access to my Pages document either. Does any one have any tips on how to fix this? Anyone else having the same problem? Thanks.
So to clarify....I connect my iPad. Click my connected iPad tab on the left. Then click the Apps tab along the top. Then I scroll down and see the File Sharing section. I see 4 Apps that allow file sharing. I click Artrage to see files appear on the right hand side. No files are listed. (I have at least 30-50 drawings) I click Pages to access files. 2 files do appear....but not all files. On my iPad I have 3 folders each with more than 4 documents....plus 4 other documents that are not in folders.
Hope this makes sence.

I saw a similar post that had a solution posted. The idea was a corrupted iPad back up. So I deleted my iPad back up and created a new one. This did not work.
I was hoping it would be so easy.

Any issues with file sharing between Windows and latest Mac client?

We're running Lync 2013. My Windows client is 15.0.4551.1005. Mac client is version 14.0.8.
I open a conversation with a coworker on his Mac. I then try to share a png file. He clicks accept but then my client says the attempt timed out, and his client says that I canceled the file transfer. The coworker then boots the Mac into Windows and we try
again, and the file share works fine. When I jump on my Mac, I can send files to his Mac without issue. When he tries to send from his Mac to my PC it fails, but when he tries to send from Windows on his Mac to my PC, it works.
I can't find anything specific in the logs that would indicate a firewall issue. Is there a bug with file sharing between the Mac and PC clients?
Thanks,
Matt

No, There isn't a bug with file sharing between Mac and Pc client.

Can I create a wireless LAN and file sharing between two household Macs?

I've got an iMac G5 running 10.4.11 and an Intel iMac running 10.5 and was wondering if I create a wireless Local Area Network and file sharing between my two household Macs?

I have a network set up for my mom using an old blue iMac with an airport card as the base station. I'm using Tiger on the machine, but you should be able to do this on Leopard, too. She's 700 miles away, and I did it quite a while ago, but it seems I set everything up using the Airport Utility. At one point I think I had Internet Sharing on, too, but I don't remember if that's still on. Haven't needed to use file sharing on the network, but my G4 and her boyfriends MacPro happily use the network via Airport. I'm guessing you could share files that way. If it doesn't work, an Airport Express is a less expensive option for the router, at least cheaper than an Extreme.

Here's how to sync your Notes between iPad and Mac

This is not immediately obvious and took me several conversations with various AppleCare techs before I finally got the solution as to why my notes on my iPad where not syncing to my Mac Pro. The problem seems to be that you can't sync if you only have Notes on your iPad. You must have notes on your Mac to which unlike Calendar and Contacts don't have corresponding standalone applications, iCal and Addressbook, respectively. Notes exist within Mac Mail. I only had Notes on my iPad and none on my Mac Pro. In this event here's what to do to get setup and syncing:
SETUP:
1. Go to System Preferences on your Mac > MobileMe > Sync > and make sure Notes is checked although, syncing via the cloud apparently won't happen until iOS 4.2.
2. With Mac Mail launched, if you've never created a note in Mac Mail, in the left column you should see:
MAILBOXES
ON MY MAC
RSS
or if you've created some notes on your Mac Mail, you'll see:
MAILBOXES
REMINDER
- Notes
ON MY MAC
RSS
The key is you have to have REMINDERS created. So if you don't have it created, when you sync your iPad and Mac, the iPad doesn't know what to do as there's no "receptacle" for it's notes on your Mac.
So in Mail, in the top of the window create a new Note, click the notepad icon to the right of the New Message.
Now REMINDERS will be created in Mail's left column with this new note. You can simply put "Test" or whatever and click "Done" in the upper left of the Note's window.
3. Plug your iPad into your Mac, in iTunes, in the left column click your iPad under DEVICES the Info tab in the top. At the bottom of the page is "Other" > click: Sync notes. Do NOT click the checkbox "Notes" in the next section under "Advanced"
4. Click "Apply" at the bottom of the page and your iPad and Mac will begin to sync. It may take awhile as I believe it is doing both a sync and backup.
Once this process is done, you'll see your notes fully sync'd on your iPad and Mac. Yea! but there's more...
5. Notes created in Mac Mail show up in 2 places: your MAILBOXES > Inbox and under REMINDERS > Notes, and if you delete the Mac Mail note in your inbox, it deletes the note in your REMINDERS.
This is unfortunate and not great interface design IMHO and should be remedied.
Luckily the last Tier 2 AppleCare tech I just spoke with had a workaround for this, which is:
6. Create a new mailbox inside Notes under REMINDERS. Click Notes, then go to Mailbox > New Mailbox... in the top of your monitor screen.
Under the location pulldown it should show a notepad icon and On My Mac.
For the Name, I called my new mailbox "iPad Notes" Then click OK.
Then a triangle appears next to Notes mailbox to access this new subfolder (iPad Notes) and you then drag your now sync'd notes from Notes under REMINDERS to your "iPad Notes" subfolder under Notes. Now your left column will look like:
MAILBOXES
REMINDERS
-Notes
--iPad Notes
ON MY MAC
RSS
Doing this drag to "iPad Notes" will remove the note(s) from your inbox, but keep it in your REMINDERS and thus be available for Syncing, which currently can only be done with your iPad when plugged in via USB to your Mac.
Apparently, in iOS 4.2, you'll be able to use MobileMe to sync Notes just like Calendar and Contacts. We'll see.
I hope this is helpful. It took me awhile to get all this set up, and being that I am not an AppleCare tech, if you have questions instead of asking me, I recommend you call AppleCare and review with them. Let them know I got the above info from Tier 2 support.
Once iOS 4.2 and Lion come out, all this may, hopefully be a simpler process, but as of this writing, pre 4.2 and Lion, this is now working on my iPad and Mac Pro.
Good Luck.
Steven

Thanks ,,, but when I "Go to System Preferences on your Mac > MobileMe > Sync > and make sure Notes is checked"
I CANNOT check the "Notes". It is NOT highlighted. MAYBE because I am NOT logged-in to mail.mac.com?
Is this why my Sync Notes between MacBook Pro and iPAD 2 does NOT work?
How do I fix it?
Also I continue to get Error Message "smtp.mail.com" password not accepted.
I DO NOT know my mail.mac.com password.

File sharing between Macbook and iPhone 5s? AirDrop or bluetooth

Just purchased my first Macbook ever! I'm catching on quickly however I've run into a snag with file sharing between my other Apple devices.
How can I pair and send files between my MBA and iPhone 5s?
I've made the change in system preferences to allow file sharing, yet still pops up on my iPhone that my MBA doesn't support this.
Also I've enabled Airdrop on both devices yet I can't seem to get that to work as well. Any help or advice would be appreciated. I would love to be able to easily send pictures or documents from my MBA to my iPhone 5s via Airdrop and vice versa.
Thanks in advance

Regarding AirDrop, note the quotation below from: iOS: Use AirDrop to wirelessly share content
You can't use AirDrop on iOS to share with OS X users, and OS X users can't use AirDrop to share with iOS devices.
The iPhone has limited bluetooth profiles and the only supportde connection between an iPhone and a computer is for tethering (sharing the iPhones cellular data connection). iOS: Supported Bluetooth profiles

How do I set up file sharing between iMAC and MacBook Pro?

I am unable to use "file sharing". When trying to connect as a "registered user" it asks for my server password. What is that? I have tried every password I think it could be. I also can not connect as "using an Apple ID"

You can set up "iCloud" on all of them and select there to sync your Documents. You must be running Mountain Lion on the MBA and iOS 6 on the iPhone and iPad in order to use iCloud:

ITunes 9 - Using 'Home Sharing' between Windows and Mac libraries

I have my main iTunes music library stored on my Windows 7 PC. It is currently around 200Gb in size, so pretty large.
I want to be able to use 'Home Sharing' in iTunes 9 to access this library on my Macbook over my home wireless network.
I don't, however, want to copy the music files themselves over to this laptop, but simply access the library over the network, and play them via either iTunes 9 or Front Row.
I would appear that the Windows and Mac 'iTunes Library' xml files are incompatible. I can't 'Alias' the Windows library on the MacBook for this reason. Does 'Home Sharing' eliminate this problem? Is there a way of accessing the library on the Windows PC without copying all of the files over to the MacBook?
I want to maintain a single library (which is often changing with new podcasts etc), rather than 2 libraries which I have to keep in sync.
Does anybody have any ideas on this one? I'm sure I am not alone in having this problem.
Here's hoping...:)

AirDrop Between iPad and MAC

I have AirDrop working great between my 2 MAC's now that I have them in close proximity - thanks to some great help here.
According to posts that I've read here, AirDrop should work fine between a MAC and an iPad 4 running IOS 7. I must be doing something wrong.
On my MAC, I open Finder and click on AirDrop in the left menu. This opens the normal window on the right that shows an icon for the MAC and the icon to the left of The menu AirDrop is revolving. I guess this indicates that the MAC is searching for another AirDrop device.
On my iPad, I open a photo. In the bottom left corner, I tap on the Share icon. The normal Share icons come up along with one for AirDrop.
Neither the MAC nor the iPad can be recognized by the other device.
Is there something else I need to set on or off on my iPad to get this to work?
Thanks a lot.
Adrian

Found your answer:

Note: AirDrop for iOS supports only iOS 7 devices. You cannot use AirDrop on iOS to share with OS X, and OS X users can't use AirDrop to share with iOS devices.
Yes, I was surprised too!

Jam session between iPad and Mac

Is it possible to start a jam session between an iPad (or iphone) and Mac?

Agreed, it must be in development because surely the good folks at Apple have the vision (or at least the common sense) to know this should've happened a long time ago. I'm sure there's a VERY good reason why creating a session between the Mac's GarageBand and the iOS GarageBand is not yet possible and that it must happen soon, right?

TS4185 facetime between ipad and mac

i am having trouble using facetime between my ipad and my mac. the devices both ring, but when someone hits the connect button the call is terminated.

I am not sure that you can FaceTime between two devices that have the same ID as they are both identified as 'you'. That way, if someone calls you on FaceTime, they will both ring and you can use whichever device you want or prefer to use. Does FaceTime to other people work okay?

File sharing between rMBP and iMac massive bugs.

I recieved my new rMBP this week to replace my Macbook Air and join my iMac and Mac mini and immediately came across a problem.
Ive always had file sharing enabled on all computers and sent and recieved files to the iMac from the Macbook Air with ease.
However I tried to copy a file from the iMac to my rMBP and was provided with an error code (-8000 something) and was forced to relaunch finder.
I brought the Macbook Air back up (incidently I used migration assistant to copy files and settings over from MBA) and it was able to send and recieve files from iMac with no problems.
The first thing I notice is that the rMBP asks for an admin password to write to the iMac - the MBA doesn't. If I check permission settings on folders from the iMac from both machines they both have the same permissions set so I can't understand this.
Now the error code when trying to copy from rMBP to iMac doesn't appear - instead I send a file and Finder goes crazy and copies a 0 byte file with the same file name onto the iMac thousands of times until I force Finder to relaunch again.
Incidently I can send files to and from the Mac Mini without any issues - and I can as of now recieve files from the iMac ok, but not send to.
Its a very odd bug, ive tried repairing permissions on both machines and restarting both but ot no avail. Can anyone think of anything to delete/reset/try to fix this odd behavour?

Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Step 1 should give you usable permissions in your home folder. This step will restore special attributes set by OS X on some user folders to protect them from unintended deletion or renaming. You can skip this step if you don't consider that protection to be necessary, and if everything is working as expected after step 1.
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Incompatibility between iPAD and MAC OS X 10.4.11?

Hi,
Just bought an iPAD yesterday. I was very excited about getting started with it, but when I plugged it into my iMac... the system tells me MAC OSX 10.4.11 does not support iPAD and that I need at least MAC OSX Leopard to be able to connect my iPAD!!! I am sure there would not be such an issue with a PC so I am really frustrated. Any suggestion here from someone?
Can I upgrade from Mac OSX 10.4 to 10.5 or even 10.6?
Thanks for your usual support,
G

So, I have just spent £700.00 on an iPad, I have an iPhone 3Gs and a =n iMac PPC G5 running the latest Tiger operating system - I even upgraded to iTunes 9.2 to ensure that I had the latest software to enable compatibility with my iPad ready for activation!
Plug my iPad in - you can't use your iPad with this version of the OS! WHAT! this has to be a joke, No - but it runs fine on a PC with running XP an operating system launced in October 2001! I bought my mac in March 2006! and have no need to upgrade yet, yes I hear you shout XP service pack 3 - OK SP3 out in 2006 but THIS IS A FREE UPGRADE!
I have many mac products and have slated windows and PC's for many a year - but this infuriates me I don't understand why an operating system limits this product when the latest interface software 'iTunes' runs fine on that older said OS! What the F** surely it's not to make extra money as I can't purchase the OS X 10.5 from Apple and my Hardware won't run the latest Apple OS. I will have to wait till I get home to activate my iPad with my laptop running XP!
One not very happy Apple customer. - I think apple should make available OS X 10.5 a FREE download just like service pack 3 for windows XP!
