How do i move files from my MacBook Pro to my Ipad using bluetooth?

Apparently the Ipad does not have enough bluetooth services to do the most elemental fuction for what bluetooth was created! File Transfer! Could that be true? or am I just slow and cant figure that out!
Has anybody tried before?

Bluetooth on the iPad is aimed at devices such as headphones and keyboards, not for transferring files - which would be a slow anyway. The supported bluetooth profiles are listed on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3647 . You can sync files via iTunes, or, if they app you want to transfer to supports it, via your wifi network. Plus some apps support Dropbox, email attachments etc

    how do i copy files from my macbook pro to my hard drive? These files were previously started on my old dell.

    More then likely that external drive is formatted the Windows NTFS format which Mac OS X can Read but it can not Write to that format. So you would need to copy all the data off that drive, to either a Windows PC or to your Mac, thenn use the Mac to format it for the Mac OS. Which would be Mac Extended (Journaled) with a Partition Table of GUID.
    If you want to use that drive on both Mac and PC then you would need to format it either FAT32 or exFAT.

    How can I transfer pictures from my MacBook Pro to my iPad mini please?

    If you are on iTunes 11 on your Mac then you may want to re-enable the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar, which might make it easier to navigate and may instructions may make more sense.
    To sync photos, connect and select your iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes (if you've enabled the sidebar), 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 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.
    If you haven't enabled the sidebar, then from your library click 'iPad' at the top right of the screen and you should get a series of buttons along the top of the screen, including one for Photos

    If they apps were bought on iTunes on your Mac then you can connect the iPad to your Mac, select the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and use the Apps tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to sync them to the iPad - or you can re-download them directly on the iPad via the App Store app.
    If you bought the apps in the Mac App Store then you can't sync them to the iPad as Mac apps are not compatible with the iPad

  • How do I move pictures from my MacBook Pro to a USB/External Hard drive?

    I can't figure out how to trasfer pictures and files from my MacBook Pro to my USB hard drive. Help please?

    We could use a little more information, are you trying to move from a folder to an external drive? Or are you moving from IPhoto.
    Either way should be able to select the pictures you want and drag them to your external.
    If you have not used the drive before you may need to format the external drive with Disk Utility. You will need to choose a catalog method and what you choose should depend on if you plan to use a Mac only, or Mac and PC.

  • How may I transfere PDF files from my MacBook Pro to my IPAD

    How may I transfer PDF files from my MacBook Pro to my IPAD

    There are a number of methods, including via synch to iTunes on a computer and emailing them to yourself.
    I prefer using DropBox, which allows me to store them in the cloud and download only when needed, and send them to the app I choose (plus I do not synch my iPad to itunes). I typically use GoodReader or Adobe Reader, but any app that can read PDFs is typically available in the menu. You would need to install DropBox on the Mac as well as download the app on the iPad. Both are free.

    How do I move my pictures from my macbook pro to a portable drive?

    Drag them there in the Finder. If you're moving an iPhoto library and not loose photos, the drive, partition, or disk image you're putting them on needs to be formatted as Mac OS Extended.
