How do I download documents to the iPad and where do they go

I would like to download documents in pdf. How do I do that and where are they downloaded to on the iPad?

If you have the PDFs on your computer's iTunes (you should be able to add them to your iTunes via FIle > Add File To Library), then you should be able to sync them to the iBooks app on your iPad by connecting and selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes and then selecting the Books tab on the right-hand side.
If you want to copy them to a different app then it will depend upon what that app supports e.g. file sharing

  • I have several manuals in PDF format. How do I download them into my iPad and view them?

    I have several manuals in PDF format. How do I download them into my iPad and view them? I downloaded a PDF viewer on my iPad and via itunes I can download the PDF to the iPad although for some reason the iPad comes up as 'RmoteTV' with a sub-directory of 'Books'. The 'PDFReader' app doesn't seem to find the file.

    You can use the free iBooks to read PDF files. Download the app, use itunes to transfer the data then open the PDFs.
    There are other pdf readers as well. I see good reader recommended and I'm sure there are more.

  • How to upload words, exel, PDF file from the pc via itune to the iPad, and where will the uploaded file be saved? In the apps?

    How to upload words, exel, PDF file from the pc via itune to the iPad, and where will the uploaded file be saved? In the apps?

    You will need an app (or apps) on your iPad that is capable of reading the documents, as they will be saved with the app - if you don't have such an app then there is nothing to transfer them to or to read/access them.
    One method of transferring them is toconnect your iPad to your computer's iTunes, select it's app tab, and then scroll to the bottom of it - you should the apps That you've got that are capable of file-sharing (if you've got any).  Selecting/high-lighting one of them should then allow you to add files to it via the box to the right of it.
    An alternative way to get the documents onto your iPad is if the app that you want to transfer them to has a wifi setting, which will then allow you to transfer the documents wirelessly. You can also send the documents to yourself as attachments and then use Mail's 'open in' facility to copy them into your chosen app.
    Edit : more info on file sharing from the manual :
    File Sharing lets you transfer files between iPad and your computer. You can share files created with a compatible app and saved in a supported format.
    Apps that support file sharing appear in the File Sharing Apps list in iTunes. For each app, the Files list shows the documents that are on iPad. See the app’s documentation for how it shares files; not all apps support this feature.
    Connect iPad to your computer.
    In iTunes, select iPad in the Devices list, then click Apps at the top of the screen.
    In the File Sharing section, select an app from the list on the left.
    On the right, select the file you want to transfer, then click “Save to” and choose a destination on your computer.
    Transfer a file from your computer to iPad:
    Connect iPad to your computer.
    In iTunes, select iPad in the Devices list, then click Apps at the top of the screen.
    In the File Sharing section, click Add.
    Select a file, then click Choose (Mac) or OK (PC).
    The file is transferred to your device and can be opened using an app that supports that file type. To transfer more than one file, select each additional file.
    Delete a file from iPad: Select the file in the Files list, then tap Delete.

  • TS1702 I have recently begun to use Pages and want to transfer a document between the iPad and my PC. I can transfer to the iPad, but not the other way, and am told I do not have sufficient 'privileges'. What does this mean? Also can't use iCloud with Pag

    I have recently begun to use Pages and want to transfer a document between the iPad and my PC. I can transfer to the iPad, but not the other way, and am told I do not have sufficient 'privileges'. What does this mean? Also I can't use iCloud with Pages between the iPad and PC,  although I purchased extra storage in order to do this.

    If you have a PC, you don't have Pages on it. You can transfer Pages presentations to/from iCloud via http://www.icloud.com , however -- you just won't have an app on your PC to deal with Pages documents. Make sure that you have your iCloud account properly configured on your iPad.

  • Sharing Documents between the iPad and Mac using iCloud?

    I use Pages on my iPad and have it set to share documents via iCloud.  When I open Pages on my iMac,however, I do not see any way to access those documents on iCloud.  Am I missing something really obvious?

    I have absolutely the latest apps and operating system on my iPad and my iMac.
    The whole point, I thought, of iCloud's documents sync is that documents should be easily sync'd between Pages, Numbers and Keynote on different platforms. 
    Pages on the iPad and iPhone store the docments in a "special" folder.  In Mac OSX documents can be saved anywhere on the Mac. 
    I don't know about the "native" file format on the iPhone of iPad, but if I email the document to my Mac, Pages on the Mac can open the file.  Its just that I shouldn't have to email it since it's already on iCloud and the Mac has a connection to iCloud.

  • How do I rename a Numbers document on the iPad and view it on my Mac?

    Hello
    I created a new spreadsheet on the ipad. When I went to sync in itunes it created a file called blank. Better yet how do I work on it. I dragged to desktop and launched pages. Has to be a better way.
    Charlie

    confirmed on the renaming issue. Just tap the name while in file selection area and rename.
    Better yet how do I work on it. I dragged to desktop and launched pages. Has to be a better way.
    Nope, that sounds about right (except that you would have launced Numbers for a spreadsheet). You copy it off the ipad through iTunes and open it in the parent app.

  • How do I find albums in the Finder?  Where did they go?

    Just upgraded to iPhoto 06 from 04. When I look for photos in Finder I don't see any of my albums listed. The file structure is totally changed, and I don't even have a folder for 2006 but I do have prior years, which I can then look in to see pictures by date. My 2006 photos can be found only under "DATA" by roll numbers, a somewhat annoying new concept.
    Am I missing something really simple here? Why is the folder structure for photos completely changed in iPhoto 06? Why can't I find photos via album in the Finder anymore, and is there any way to fix that? This is a problem for uploading to sites like Shutterfly, for example (it was a total pain to try and do that and and it seems to be a significant deficiency in the program as compared to the earlier version. Any help appreciated!

    Hi dscott1000,
    Yes the folder structure/organization has changed in iPhoto 6. The Albums folder in the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder, however, that was in earlier versions of iPhoto has been done away with, starting with iPhoto 5.
    iPhoto 5 (and now 6) now stores the Album information in a data xml file. The Albums folder within the iPhoto Library folder is no longer used. At some point, usually after a rebuild, you will no longer have that folder in the Finder.
    If you need to access photos from an album it is very difficult for a third party application to navigate the iPhoto Library in order to find the photo you need. You will have to know the date of import in order to find the photo.
    There are some third party applications that can read the xml file and can navigate the iPhoto library and show you the Albums. Hopefully more applications will be revised to read this file.
    Until then you will have to Share/Export the photos to the desktop. You can then navigate to the desktop to use the photos (example: web uploading from online photo site)
    If your application supports drag and drop, you can drag the photo from an open iPhoto Library window into your application.
    For email you can also use the email icon within iPhoto to open a message with the highlighted photo attached.
    You can also use spotlight to find images in an Album...
    This is what I have done using Spotlight to find my images that are in iPhoto albums without opening iPhoto..
    In iPhoto, select the album, then select all, go to Photos/batch change.
    Change the comments to text. In the text field I put the name of the Album.
    Do this for each album.
    Close iPhoto.
    Open Spotlight and put in the name of the Album ( you have to remember the names of the albums or have then written down)
    In the spotlight search results. click on "show all"
    Under "Images" click on the "xx more" to show all the images in the album.
    Make sure you have it in icon view, the icon view box is the last one on the blue images line.
    Now you can control click on the image to "reveal in finder", open in iPhoto or Mail, etc.
    I am not sure if this is going to make you happy and it is a little more work, but you can find images in albums and even view them in a slideshow (by clicking the play arrow at the end of the Images highlighted blue line) using Spotlight, all without opening iPhoto.
    One important thing to know is you can set up a graphic program to be an external editor (when you double click an image in the library} such as PhotoShop or PS Elements. You set up that within iPhoto Preferences. Just make sure you save the image flattened and with the same name. The edits will then be relected in iPhoto when you hit "save".

    This is how iPhoto 6 is organized in the Finder:

    As you can see the structure is now related to rolls. Rolls are created for each folder you import and each import session from a camera.
    It is very easy to change the names of film rolls within iPhoto to make them easier to find images within. Open the info panel in iPhoto by clicking on the "i" icon. Once it is opened, click on the roll title in the viewing window.
    Click on the word "title" in the info pane and type in your new title. I like to use a date and text format such as 12/25/05 Christmas at Mom's, 1/05/06 my birthday, etc. Once the roll names are changed within iPhoto, they are also changed within the Finder, making it easy to locate an image.
    When importing from a camera, make sure you name the roll with a date and text before the import.

  • How to make download/documents & applications the norm. blue folder look ?

    I want these folders to be the plain blue folder look ( right now it has some covering the folder..PDF covering the download and documents and dictionary over the applications )... what do I change it back to the normal blue look.

    The combo update is supposed to install previous system updates. Well, at least that's how it usually works.
    However, if you look at the page with the standalone combo update to 10.5.5, where is says +System Requirements+, it says "Mac OS X 10.5.1 - Mac OS X 10.5.4". You have 10.5.nothing. So if that's not a typo, I guess you need to install 10.5.1 first. But it's not pointed out anywhere else. You'd think it would state specifically, "If you have the original 10.5 installation, you need to first install 10.5.1 before installing this update."
    If you were using Software Update, it should know this already and take care of installing the required updates in the correct sequence. In other words, it should not try to install 10.5.5 combo if 10.5.1 is required first.
    Also that message you quoted sounds like the update file is corrupted. It does not seem related to what version needs to be installed first.
    Here is the standalone updater for 10.5.1, in case you do need it.

  • How do i download pictures from the internet and convert them to jpg file?

    im a fulltime mom and i help my children a lot on their projects. just got my new macbook pro and was surprised that i cant easily save pictures form the net to my macbook using jpg format. please help

    Hi there,
    as I am not a Mac user, I cannot fully respond to this, but as Klaus1 said, you will probably be able to just drag a picture to the desktop. This will not change the original format of the image though. So if the image you are trying to get is a gif, png or (best case for you) a jpg file, it will still be that.
    In order to change that, you'll need some sort of program to edit the picture (like Photoshop, Picasa or Gimp where you can then save it in the desired format.

  • Does anyone know why I can't download Vuze on the ipad

    I have tried to download Vuze to the ipad and it keeps coming up with the message that Safari won't let me download it. This is the free version and I have downloaded on the Mac so I don't understand why I can't on the ipad. Any suggestions?

    This is what so annoys me about the iPad ,apple control what you do with it. Who are they to bully us into doing it their way. ? every time I login I have to do it twice. Why is that. It's not about security per se it's about buisness owning our interaction processes so they can control. What we do and be forced to buy from them. The iPad is just another computer. Slow and clunky at that. Not even a USB port. I regret buying it. Since my Mac laptop is out of order I have no choice but to use it and wait for pages to load like 486 with a 56k dial up modem !  It's good for emails. But crashes every time fb opens a page. Stupid thing. Microsoft tried to restrict user access in similar ways and was defeated in court.  I love my MacBook pro but this iPad 1 is utterly crap.
    I don't mean to annoy anyone who gives their good time on here. Apple is so big and corporate you know it can't hear the ants at its feet who want it to be more open less greedy and listen to its customers rather than get the customer to listen and conform to what it wants..  When my laptop has anew charger I'm selling this iPad because it is so user unfriendly .

  • How do I download documents from my computer to Ipad?

    How do I download documents
    from my computer to Ipad?

    Apple has the iBooks app for compatibility with pdf flies. If you do not have it on your iPad, you can download it for free. My personal preference for pdf's is the free Adobe Reader app. It has so many more useful features than iBooks, but if all that you want to do is save the pdf's and organize them into collections, iBooks will work fine. So download an app that you can store pdf files in.
    In order to transfer pdf files to the iPad, you can do that via iTunes. If you are using iBooks on the iPad, you have to add the pdf's to your iTunes library via File>Add to Library. Then you can select them to sync to the device by selecting them in the books pane of iTunes when the iPad is connected to your computers iTunes. This explains how to add content to iTunes. It works with pdf files as described in this article.

    She is making in app purchases. Probably not knowing what that means to your monthly credit card bill. Use the Settings app to enable restrictions and turn on restrictions for iTunes, App Store and in app purchases, mabe some others too. The restrictions will be set with a passcode to prevent your daughter from changing them.
