How do I copy just 1 album from my iMac to my iPad mini? I already have many albums there, but do NOT want to sync. don't want All of my pix there.

how do I add just 1 more album to my iPad mini from my iMac (10.8)?

You still have to sync the photos. Just select the photo albums that you want to sync to the iPad. You can include as many albums as you want and remove whichever ones you don't want to sync.
Connect the iPad to the Mac and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Photos Tab on the right.
Select the folder from which you want to sync your photos - usually iPhoto on a Mac
Click on all of the albums that you want to include in the sync
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
Any albums that you don't include in the sync preferences will be removed when you sync. So if you want to keep the albums that are already on the iPad, make sure that stay selected to sync.
If you are running iTunes 11 and do not see the sidebar and the iPad name under the devices heading - go to View>Show Sidebar from the menu at the top.

How do i copy a photoshop folder from my Imac including keywords to my Macbook computer with photoshop on it to take it on a trip

how do i copy a photoshop folder from my Imac including keywords to my Macbook computer with photoshop on it to take it on a trip

I do not use a mac. If you are referring to Image files and metadata. Metadata may be in the image file or in sidecar files in the the same folder. It may depend on how you have set some of Adobe setting. Bridge may have some metadata is its cache and users system data areas. ACR may store it information in an ACR database rather then sidecar files. If you use Lightroom metadata is most likely in its library databases.
Photoshop has many folders. Users images are in your user id folders of perhaps in lightroom's library not in Adobe Photoshop folders. I do not use Lightroom. What exactly are you referring to when you wrote "a Photoshop Folder"?

How do I get a .mov file from my iMac to my iPad?

How do I get a .mov file from my iMac to my iPad?

Hi Mike in CoS,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
What app did you use to create the .mov file? Apps like iMove or Final Cut Pro X have options to Share to iTunes to create a compatible version for the iPad. If you don't have the option to export the file again, then try the steps outlined in this article:
iTunes: Videos may be unable to sync to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1497
Here is some more general information about syncing videos:

I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

Can you send files via bluetooth from a imac to an ipad mini

Just purchased an ipad mini and was wanting to transfer some pictures via bluetooth from my Imac to my Ipad mini? Is this possible?
They are paired but when it goes to transfer files, it says connection lost. Is there another way of transfering files from the computer to the ipad mini?
Any help is much appreciated.

No, Bluetooth on the iPad is aimed at devices such as keyboards and heapphones : supported Bluetooth profiles.
You can sync photos to the iPad via your comptuer's iTunes. Connect and select your iPad on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (with iTunes 11 you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S), and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders/albums to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
There are also third-party iPad apps such as Simple Transfer which allow you to copy photos to (and from) the iPad via your wifi network.
For documents you can use the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc.

How can I move my itunes movies from my iMac to my mac mini which is serving as a media server attached to HDTV?

I want to move my itunes movies from my iMac to my Mac Mini, which is hooked up to my HDTV, so that I can save space on the iMac and use the direct source Mac Mini to view the iTunes movies that I purchase and download. Can anyone give me ideas on how to do that?

iTunes does not have provision for automatically storing one kind of media on a separate drive, so you have some basic decisions to make first. Do you want these movies to still appear in your iTunes library, or are you content with browsing filenames on a drive in Finder when you want to look for one? The second's the easiest thing because then you don't have to have an external drive permanently turned on and attached to your computer (wired or wireless). To do that you literelly only need to drag your movies folder to an archive drive and delete movies from iTunes. To watch them again you can add it back to iTunes while holding down the option key so the movie is used from its location on the external drive.
There's ways to move the movies to an external drive while keeping them in iTunes but the external drive iwll always have to be turned on and connected to the computer or you will see a bunch of broken link exclamation marks.
Realize what you are talking about is not "backup". Backup (which you should do) is putting a second or more copy of items on external drives for the day when your internal drive fails and everything on it is lost, inclduing all your home photos and perhaps things that have been pulled from the iTunes Store and can no longer be re-downloaded.

How do I send the iPhoto events from my iMac to my iPad when the two devices are connected by USB port?

I connected my iPad to my iMac via USB port. I want to send my iPhoto events/files to my iPad. I cannot find the right instructions. It appears to me that the iPad sync only transmits data from the iPad to the iMac, but I am trying to send iPhotos from the iMac to the iPad. Do I use export or sync?

You need to use iTunes to sync photos.
Connect your iPad to your computer. Launch iTunes. Select Photos from the menu. Click the Sync button bottom right side of the iTunes window.

HT4623 Hi how can I get pages to download from my mac to my iPad? Do I have to buy it again?

Thanks

On the mac, you can save a Pages document to icloud and on the ipad (yes, you have to buy the ipad version of Pages) you can access the document.
If instead you mean how to download the Pages program from a mac to an ipad, then you can't. Different operating systems need different programs. Just like you can't download Word in Windows to a Mac (unless you use a Windows simulator on the Mac).

I cannot synch movies to my iPad. This has worked for me in the past. I keep getting an error message that I am not connected to the internet. Yet, I certainly am. How else could I post this message. I can listen to music clips from the iTunes store, fetch my email, and read current newspapers on the internet. I restarted both my iMac and my Ipad and that didnot help.

I completely understand what is happening. I know that you are connected to the Internet. I made the suggestion because I have seen it work in similar circumstances. The Apple iTunes servers can be a bit fussy about things and sometimes rebooting the router clears up this miscommunication between iTunes and your network.
Have you tried signing into your account and then try to sync again. Go to Store>View Account. You will have to enter your password. Then try to sync again. Or try signing out completely in Store>Sign out. Quit iTunes, sign in again and then try to sync again.
Sometimes refreshing settings will help clear up weird problems.

How can I copy just one song from my iPhone to my iTunes library?

I have purchased songs through the iTunes app on my iPhone 4S. I want to get these songs on to my iPod. I figure I need to first transfer the songs from my iPhone to my iTunes library on my PC. Problem is it always seems to want to sync my library with my iPhone and I have way too many songs in my library to fit on my iPhone. I just want to transfer a couple of songs from the iPhone to my library. Is there anyway to do this?

Hi, first, you should prevent the iTunes library auto sync with iPhone: Launch iTunes > click Preferences... > click Devices. In the window, check the option 'Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically'. Next, connect your iPhone with your computer via the USB cable. Click the mini menu for iTunes on the very top left and click the option 'Show menu bar'. After then you can see iTunes File, Edit, View, Control, Store and Help menus on the ribbon. Click File > Devices > Transfer purchases from (your iPhone name). You can also access to the File menu by holding down Alt (Option on Mac), Shift and F keys. This is how to get your iPhone purcahsed song transferred to iTunes Library.

How can I copy my CS4 InDesign from my iMac to my Macbook Air

I need to have a copy of CS4 InDesign which is on my iMac, on my new MacBook Air. Is it possible to do this and if so how?

Never try to migrate from one computer to another computer, this will not work.
I doubt that CS4 will run without problems, so you should consider to subscribe to the Creative Cloud.
If you will try to install it, make an image file with the disk utility of all installer CDs, copy it on an USB stick, mount these installers and install it from there. But you are on your own.

How can i copy my data files from a windows backup to mac mini

I recently purchased a mac mini and waiting on its arrival. I am converting from WinXP and my current system is not working at the moment (started smelling smoke one day and the video hasn't displayed since from the PC - so its been shut down). I can easily fix whatever the issue is with the PC - however - my question is. I perform periodic backup of my data files to an external drive with Windows Backup, can I restore my files from the Windows Backup to the Mac Mini? If I don't have to fix the PC - I can save that cost and buy an CD drive for the Mini (or something else).
I haven't investigated the real problem on the PC - I just know its hardware related (not OS).
My last backup was atleast 1 month ago - so I know I might lose a couple of things....but not very much. If its "simplier" for the migration process to fix the PC - then that is the answer but if I can extract from the external 1TB Seagate. I think I only have 50GB of data (itunes / pictures / etc)
Thanks

I am having trouble importing files from file sharing in the same household. I have followed the tutorials but do not have the tab at the bottom of Itunes "Import to library"

When I go to file sharing on Itunes, I am unable to import files to my itunes. I can play them, but am unable to move them to my library. I have been through the tutorial and when I get to "show menu at the bottom of library" there is no menu. I do not have the tab "items not in my library" or "import" I have been through the upper tab and see no option in the view menu and have also consolidated the files. Any suggestions?

Error code -36 is an i/o error. That usually means that the computer is having a problem reading or writing the file you're working with, which in turn usually means that the drive has a problem. A sudden slowdown of the magnitude you meantion usually means a severely damaged directory or physical damage to the disk. I'd run a disk fixer such as Disk Utility or Disk Warrior on the slow drive. If it reports problems which can't be fixed, which I suspect it will, I'd back everything up. I just had a LaCie 250GB drive die on me with similar problems (i/o errors, very slow access) and returned it under the warranty.

How do i put pictures from my laptop onto my ipad mini ?

I have a windows 8 laptop with itunes and i was wondering how do i put pictures from my laptop onto my ipad mini ? I have done this before but i have only been able to do 1 album and then when i try to do another it gets rid of the 1st album i put on there. How do i put more than 1 album onto my ipad mini?

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.)
