Finding pdf files from imac to iPad 2

I have some PDF files (2) that I synced to my iPad 2 but I can't find them anywhere on my iPad.  First, I opened iTunes, then went to the Apps, selected Pages, then Add , then Synced... They appear to be then synced to my iPad. Also, I included on Pages document in the sync. 
In doing a search on my iPad, it does not find the file. I open my Pages app on my iPad, and I have no documents. So where might it be?? Not in iBooks either.
Thanks.

It's probably not as "simple" as using DropBox, but it's there. When in the Apps section of iTunes, just scroll down to the bottom where there is a listing of installed apps that can use the iTunes data exchange. Documents available on the computer can be synced TO the device while those available on the device can be syned TO the computer.

  • Transfer pdf file from mac to ipad

    How to transfer pdf file from mac to ipad without using the internet and with the help of the cable?

    You say without using the internet, then the only way left is to use a USB connection to itunes on your computer.
    If you have a pdf reader app on the ipad (you must if you hope to read pdf files on the ipad), then go into the Apps tab in iTunes (for your device)  and find the pdf reader app in the list.  If there, then drag a pdf file from the mac to the panel in iTunes and then sync.  Once on the ipad, you should be able to open the pdf reader app and access the pdf file.

  • Itunes locks up when syncing .pdf files from computer to ipad

    When transfering .pdf files from PC to iPad, sync locks up.

    After you open the Apps tab in iTunes, select Adobe Reader from the list of apps on the bottom list. On the right, you will be allowed to "add" files. Just drag and drop files onto that box and then hit sync. The next time you fire up Adobe Reader on your iPad, the files would be there for you.

  • How do I transfer PDF files from PC to IPAD using Itunes 12.1.2.  Previous versions let me drag file in Itunes to Ipad and files appeared under Ibook but can't get it to work in latest 12.1.2 version.

    How do I transfer PDF files from PC (Windows 7) to IPAD using Itunes 12.1.2.  I would like to do files manually rather then auto synch.  Previous versions let me drag file in Itunes to Ipad and files appeared under Ibook and then I could move them to an appropriate collection title.  The interface appears to have changed in the latest ITunes version and I am not sure what the proper procedure is.

    King_Penguin - Thanks it worked perfectly.  I had my pdf files copied into ITunes on my PC but when I clicked on a pdf file to copy it I thought the sidebar would appear with my IPAD name and then I would drag it over.  I didn't realize that I needed to click-and start dragging it towards the left-hand side for the sidebar to appear.  It worked like a charm - THANKYOU!!!

  • How to copy pdf files from computer to ipad

    how to copy pdf files from computer to ipad

    You can PDFs to the iPad, but first you need one or more apps on the iPad that supports PDFs - unlike a 'normal' computer the iPad doesn't have a file system, and everything on it has to be associated with an app.
    Options include free apps such as Apple's iBooks app and also Adobe Reader - and paid-for apps such as GoodReader (which also supports read-only of other documents types).
    For iBooks you can first add the PDFs to your computer's iTunes via File > Add To Library, and you can then sync them by selecting the iPad on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (on iTunes 11 you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC) and using the Books tab on the right-hand side to select and sync them.
    For Adobe Reader adnd GoodReader you can use the file sharing on the Apps tab on the right-hand side to copy them over : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4094

  • HT204365 How to email pdf files from iBook in iPad?

    Why I can only see "print" but no "email" button when i open my pdf files in iBooks? As far as i know i should be able to email my pdf files from ibooks right?

    Yes you should be able to email a PDF from iBooks. When you tap the arrow in the upper left the option should appear.
    Maybe some basic troubleshooting steps will help.
    Quit the iBooks app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Or .... Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    You may want to consider deleting the app and reinstalling. Tap and hold down on the app icon until it jiggles, then tap the X on the icon. Tap the home button to stop the apps from jiggling. Download iBooks again.

  • Syncing PDF files from PC to iPad through iTunes

    I have dowloaded the Acrobat Reader App to an IPad an am trying to sync it with PDF files in my PC through iTunes.  I can see the PDF file already in the iPad and when I "add" selecting the appropriate folder in the PC, I see a list of PDF files available in the PC for syncing.  But that's as far as it goes.  How do I proceed from there to get them onto the IPad?  Thanks for any help

    After you open the Apps tab in iTunes, select Adobe Reader from the list of apps on the bottom list. On the right, you will be allowed to "add" files. Just drag and drop files onto that box and then hit sync. The next time you fire up Adobe Reader on your iPad, the files would be there for you.

  • Moving files from iMac to iPad

    I had a problem with my iMac this morning. I couldn't send an E-mail message, so I thought I'd try to use my iPad for the first time. I wanted to move the message I had typed in my iMac's E-mail program to my iPad's E-mail program. I called Apple Care Protection, or whatever it's called. Anyway, I was told that there was no way to do what I had wanted. I would simply have to retype the message in my iPad E-mail program.
    The technicians/advisors at Apple Care Protection are about as good as you can find, and the one I talked to was probably right. However, I just have to check on his advice one more time. Is it correct? Is it true that there is no way to transfer files from my iMac to my iPad? I find that amazing.
    I have the latest operating systems for both my iMac and my iPad installed; however, I am using a late 2009 model iMac. Could that be the problem?

    Thanks for your very informative response. It's  a model for the way questions should be answered. It was especially interesting to see your comment about my 2009 model and Handoff.  The screen had said that, and the technician I talked to said that the screen was right--OF COURSE--but I still was gob-smacked, as the Brits say. I had thought that the operating system was the only important thing, and that since I had the latest operating systems for both my Mac and my iPad, that I could do anything that Macs and iPads can do. Well, live and learn, and one more thing to learn will be to use the cloud apps that you mention. Finally, it's interesting that you mention Evernote. I know that everyone says that it's the greatest, but I couldn't do anything with it and finally uninstalled it from my computer. I found that Apple's Notes did everything I wanted in fine style. No complaint there.
    Oh, I finally understand why you mentioned Dropbox. Sure--I think.  I have DropBox. I guess you are saying that I can export a file to DropBox from my iMac and then send it from DropBox to my iPad. Well, maybe, but right now I'm having trouble sending files from DropBox to anywhere, and I have given up on trying to get help from DropBox. Thanks again.

  • Where do you put PDF books from iMac into iPad?

    How do you copy  PDF books from an iMac to an iPad?
    I assume you open the iPad on the iMac's desktop and drop the books into the appropriate older  .  .  .  .  but what is that folder? (I'm enquiring for someone else, hence I don't know what they will be seeing).

    You can sync them via your Mac's iTunes, the iPad won't mount as a drive on a Mac - an iPad doesn't have a file system like a 'normal' computer, everything has to be stored within an app.
    If you want to sync them to the iBooks app on your iPad then you can add PDFs to your Mac's iTunes via File > Add To Library (they will go into the Books part of your library), and you can then sync them by connecting the iPad to your Mac and selecting it on the left-hand sidebar of your Mac's iTunes (if you have iTunes 11 on your Mac then you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S), and the using the Books tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to select and sync them.
    If you want them in a different app then how you get it there will depend upon what the app supports e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc.

  • Finder: loosing files from iMac to Windows

    Hello,
    My iMac is connected over a wired TCP/IP with my Windows PC.
    When copying a folder with 5.366 files with Finder from my iMac to my Windows PC, only 5.324 files are copied.
    After three times copying and overwriting finally all files are copied.
    I repeated this action to another location on the Windows PC. Now after the first copy 5118 files are copied.
    A week ago, I had the same problem with copying files from another iMac with 10.7.2 to a FAT32 USB memory stick.
    What is going on and how can this be solved ?
    Thanks,
    Hubert

    The files not showing up on Macs is generally the "IRPStackSize" needs set to 25 or more on the PC...

    To configure a Mac OS X user account so that .DS_Store files are not created when interacting with a remote file server using the Finder, follow the steps below.
    Note: This will affect the user's interactions with SMB/CIFS, AFP, NFS, and WebDAV servers.
    1 Open the Terminal.
    2 Type:
    defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true
    3 Press Return.
    4 Restart the computer.
    If you want to prevent .DS_Store file creation for other users, log in to each user account and perform the steps above—or distribute a copy of your newly modified com.apple.desktopservices.plist file to the ~/Library/Preferences folder of other target users.

  • Why features were removed when syn Number file from iMac to ipad?

    Can anyone advise me on this question?
    I am using Number on both iMac and ipad and usually update file on iMac with various feature such as cell merge, header and footer row, etc.
    However, this kind of stuff were removed after syn and open file in ipad. Why is that? Anything related to setting?

    Numbers for the iPad is a different app than the version for the Mac. because it is for a mobile device (iOS), its has less functionality.

  • How to get .pdf files from iMac to laptop?

    This is a question on behalf of a friend of mine who has a desktop iMac (OS 9.2 -- about 5 years old) as well as a MacBook laptop (Tiger 10.4 -- brand new) .
    He has received multiple .pdf files via email (Comcast) and has those saved to his desktop iMac. He wants to get them onto his laptop.
    How does he do this?
    Thanks in advance.

    I think the easiest, most elegant way to to do this would be to have him simply, email the pdf's to himself.
    He could then retrieve the email while using the laptop. He could even go online to his comcast webmail account and download the pdfs he has attached to an email - He can download them to the desktop of any computer in the world.
    I think the ethernet cable and creating a target disk steps are a bit of overkill for such a simple task, not to mention, if you don't have those cables, running out to make such a purcha$e in this instance is not justified and a waste of time (IMHO) - But proof that with a Mac you can accomplish one task in several ways.
