How do i move a data file from my pc to my ipad

How do I move a data file from my computer to my ipad? It is my product catalogue and it would help if it were on my ipad.

Plug the iPad into iTunes and you can use file sharing to move it into an app that supports file sharing and that document format.
see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4094
Or, use an online storage service (iCloud, dropbox, box, google drive, sugarsync, etc) and upload the file to that. Then on the iPad, from within the app you plan to use the file with, link to that service and download the file.
The app will again have to work with that file type, and support the particular service you used.

ok, what you're learning right now is 101 unix, which is good. Unix is a good thing
now: the way unix works, and macos (which uses unix underneath) the files and folders work like a hierarchy.
the start of that tree is /
so, if you were to do:
cd /
(cd means change directory)
it will bring you at the highest branch of the file system.
cd /Users
will bring you to where all the users are.
to see whats in /Users you can use your friend ls command
ls means list files/directories
so:
cd /Users
ls -la
(the -la here means show all (even hidden) and long format (very verbose)) this flag is very optional.
you will see
fred
user2
for example.
if you want to see the desktop of user2 you would change directory to it then list the files.
for example:
cd /Users/user2/Desktop
Note that the files and directory are case sensitive, so, desktop is NOT the same as Desktop, or DESKTOP
ls -la
you should then be able to see everything in users2 desktop
you could have done as well the same thing in smaller steps, for example:
cd /
cd Users
cd user2
cd Desktop
this is the equivalent of cd /Users/user2/Desktop
So, for your file, i don't know where it was, but know that if you log in as user2, it will directly put you in
/Users/user2
which most likely the file you had created from the other user was in /Users/user1
if you copied all the files from /Users/original_user to /Users/secondUser
most likely yes, all your mail, bookmarks etc would be copied over.
so in your case.
sudo chown -R seconduser:staff /Users/secondUser
should work
Remember that if you start a path with the character / it means start from the root of the file system, at the highest top you can ever get.
so
cd /Users/fred
is not the same as
cd Users/fred
unless you were in / already
i know it may be confusing at first but it's actually very logical if you play with it.
to simplify, think of it that / means C:\ on windows
you can't go any higher than C:\ (in a way)
if you're unsure which directory you're currently in, you can always type:
pwd
it will tell you where you are.
for example:
cd /
pwd
this shows /
cd Users
pwd
this now shows /Users
cd /System/Library
pwd will show /System/Library
cd /
cd /Users
cd fred
cd Library
pwd will show /Users/fred/Library
unix can look very scary but it's actually vital and very necessary to do tasks sometimes that would take for ever to do via the windows. This is good learning.
so for the myfile you had created, i can't tell you where it is, at the time you created, if you can do a pwd command you'll know the path,
ls -la (this shows all the files where you are)
if you see myfile in the list
do a pwd
whatever is return, the real location of the file would be:
whatever pwd returned / myfile
I hope that makes sense.

How do i move a video file from the theater to the library for more editing? New version of iMovie.

How do I move a video file from theater to the library for additional editing in iMovie. It is a new iMac so i guess i have the newest version of iMovie.

Hi hilldw61,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you have added a clip or project to iMovie Theater but would like to continue working on it. When you upload the project to iMovie Theater, the original project remains in iMovie where you can edit it further.

How do I move a downloaded file (from YouTube) to GarageBand so as to separate video from audio, then send audio to iTunes?

How do I move a downloaded file (from You Tube) to Garagband - so as to separate video from audio (which I will send to iTunes)

Create a new GarageBand "Movie" project, then import your movie into GarageBand, by dragging it from the "Movies" tab of the Media Browser into the Timeline. GarageBand will split the movie into a video channel and an audio channel. Delete the video/movie channel and use the "Share" menu to send the audio channel to iTunes (assuming you have iLife '11 GarageBand)

you should never (ab)use a designated backup-setup for 'ordinairy' storage tasks.
plus, the wireless connection to TC is too slow for iMovie.
purchase any ext. usb-harddrive, 500Gigs starting at 50$ ...

How do I move a PDF picture from an email on my iPad to my pictures?

How do I move a PDF picture from an email on my iPad to my pictures?

You can't save a PDF directly to the photos app, but if you can open the PDF in the mail app and get the entire PDF to appear on the screen, take a screenshot of it and that will be saved to the photos app camera roll.
Hold down on the sleep button and the home button at the same time briefly until you see the white flash on the screen and hear the shutter sound. That's how to take a screenshot.
You should probably tap and hold down on the PDF in the mail app and select it to open in iBooks or another PDF app that you might have on the iPad.

How do I move MPEG audio files from my iPod to my library on my computer???

Can someone tell me how to move MPEG audio files from my iPod to my library on my computer? Somehow all my songs on my iPod are MPEGs and they won't transfer to the library. I really don't want to loose the music, and there doesn't appear to be an option to convert the MPEG to a ACC file while the MPEG is on the iPod. Please help....

iTunes/iPod does not provide a way of copying tracks from an iPod to iTunes except for purchased music. But iTunes can play MP3 files without conversion.
Here are some ways of getting files from an iPod to your PC:
Copy from iPod to PC
It is important not to allow your iPod to sync with an empty library. If it is set to synchronise automatically you will get a message saying your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to sync – it is important to press cancel as syncing with an empty library erases all music from your iPod.
You can also prevent auto sync by holding down shift & ctrl as you plug in your iPod and keeping the keys held down until the iPod appears in iTunes.
Once you are connected, you need to set your iPod to manage music manually.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535
If you have an iPod with iTunes Store purchases on it, you can use it to copy your purchases to other authorized computers.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
However this is not allowed for other music.
This MacMuse tip tells you how to copy music from your iPod using Windows Explorer, but it is a bit fiddly:
http://discussions.apple.com/messageview.jspa?messageID=797432
Otherwise you can use third party software to manage the transfer, there are a variety of programs out there, some free and some that will copy ratings and counts as well as the music files. Here is a selection, check them out and see what suits you.

How to I move my music files from FAT32 to HFS external drive

Hi-
I am using iTunes 11.0.1 in OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard on an early 2008 MacBook. I followed instructions at
iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1449
It worked fine and now my ~120 GB of music (and ~20 GB of video) is on an external drive "Tardis" and iTunes works well. The only data on "Tardis" is my Apple-named iTunes media folders/files inside a folder called "iTunes." My iTunes library files are on my MacBook and being backed up (along with other personal data) by Time Machine to another external HD "Rivendell."
Unfortunately I did not realize "Tardis" was still formatted as FAT32 and I cannot include it in my Time Machine backups. I want to move my music files to an HFS+ drive so that Time Machine will back them up.
I am keen on keeping all the metadata associated with my music files, as I've spent a lot of time organizing and tweaking, and want the play statistics also. There is a lot of classical as well as rock/pop/alternative and a smattering of jazz.
Is there an easy way to get my music to an HFS+ drive? I did find a possible method here:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/9690221#9690221Re: How to move my iTunes library from an external FAT32 drive
This says to get a new HFS+ drive, then use equivalent of http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1449 to consolidate to new drive.
I can do this, however it took iTunes ~12 hours to "consolidate" my files from internal HD to external FAT32 drive "Tardis". Now I would be going from one USB 2 drive to another USB 2 drive. Is there a faster way?
Is it possible to:
get a new drive and format as HFS+
copy everything over from FAT32 "Tardis" to new HFS+ drive (using "finder"), keeping the entire file structure
disconnect "Tardis"
rename new drive to "Tardis"
open iTunes and have things work
Seems to me copying is much quicker than "consolidating". I've done both recently.
If the drag-copy method causes me to lose metadata, then it will not work and I have to use the long consolidate process.
Thanks in advance for any help.
-Adam

Possibly,
You will need some data recovery software, it will cost $100 approximately, I can recommend Data Rescue by Prosoft.
Until you get that eject the drive and leave it that way until you are ready to try and recover your files.
Then start using a backup system, this could have been avoided for less money than the software will cost.
