  • HT1296 How do I syn pdf files eg. of an econs notes from school onto my iPad? Where do I save these files to my Mac so that I can sync them to my iPad?

    Hi
    Just bought a CD for my Econs subject, has a lot of pdf files which I hope to load to my iPad.
    1. Where do I save these pdf files on my Mac?
    2. How do I syn such that these files can be found on my iPad so that I can read them?
    Please help, details needed as I am not a techie yet
    Thanks v much to anyone who can help

    You first need to decide which app(s) that you are going to copy the PDF2 to on the iPad - unlike a 'normal' computer the iPad doesn't have a file system, and everything on it has to be associated with an app. Apps that support PDFs include free apps such as Apple's iBooks and Adobe Reader, and paid-for apps such as GoodReader.
    For all apps it doesn't really matter where you initially store them on your Mac.
    For iBooks you can add the PDFs to computer's iTunes library via File > Add To Library, and you can then sync them to the app by connecting the iPad to your computer and selecting it on the left-hand side of iTunes, and then using the Books tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to select and sync those PDFs.
    For other apps it will depend upon what the app that you get 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.

  • How can I completely get my iPhone and iPad disconnected from iTunes Match? I don't usually have Cloud access and find iTunes Match to be very annoying.

    Csoud1 is correct. But if you still want to keep your iTunes Match subscribed and did not want to sync with your iOS devices, do the following:
    On you iOS devices, just go to Setting > Music > disable iTunes Match

  • I need to know how to disable my apps on my old system so that I can install them on new computer.

    I've just purchased a new iMac and need to know how to disable my apps on my old system so that I can install them on the new one.

    You are allowed to have two working installations so you do not have to disable the original if you prefer to have a backup.  Otherwise, to disable you can just sign out thru the CC manager.

  • Since update of my MAC my Notes no longer appear on my Mac but are still available through iCloud on my iPhone and iPad. How do I get my MAC to sync with the other devices as e'thing else has synced on my MAC through iCloud.

    Since update of my Mac Book Pro my previously drafted Notes no longer appear on my Mac but are still available through iCloud on my iPhone and iPad. How do I get my Mac to sync with the other devices as e'thing else has synced on my MAC through iCloud. Also since the update Notes no longer appear as a folder in "Mail" but are now a distinct programme-is there any way of returning Notes to the Mail programme?

    Thanks, but I've been on the phone with AppleCare US (where I am and live) and AppleCare UK. They continue bouncing me back and forth without helping resolve the problem.
    Perhaps someones knows how to further escalate the issue at Apple?

  • How to sync mailboxes / folders between iPhone and iPad

    How does one sync email folders between iPhone and iPad ?

    Hi Doc,
    I have just been on the phone to Apple for over 2 hours ! Both devices were already on IMAP . It turned out that one particular folder was a rogue and did not sync between desktop, iPhone and iPad. I created a new folder dragged every email into it from my desk top , deleted the original folder and all emails in that folder are now synched. Even Apple was baffled but the problem is now resolved so thank you for your assistance .

  • How do I sync my email on iPhone and iPad?

    My hotmail account does not sync between my iPhone and my iPad although the iPad does sync email between itself and my computer.

    You can setup an iCloud account. You get 5GB of storage space for free. Then your mail will automatically sync via Wi-Fi between your iPhone and iPad.

     Hi Tanya_Carroll,
    You can follow this link to set up ePrint.

    Once ePrint is setup, you can send an email to the printer's email address.
    Be sure to use one of these email clients when sending to the printer.  If the Blackberry will not send using your original email address, setup a new email account on the Blackberry and try again.

  • How do I get the default Photostream on my MacBook Pro to match the Photostream on my iPhone and iPad?

    Essentially, I am having issues getting photos that I save on my iPhone or iPad to automatically appear on my MacBook's iPhoto app (and vice versa). The iPad and iPhone automatically share all photos between each other. I have iCloud set up and all of the photo sharing options selected on all devices, so that's not the issue. I used a bit of a workaround and created and shared a custom stream, which ultimately works. However, it involves a lot of moving photos around on all three devices, so I'd like to get the Photostream service working the way it's intended by getting the default Photostream connected to my iCloud account automatically syncing among all three devices.
    Thanks.

    Photos are kept in the My Photo Stream for 30 days or until more than 1000 have been added.  The photos will remain in the MPS for longer than 30 days if the 1000 limit is not reached.
    However, depending on when a device joined the iCloud feature and started receiving the MPS it will not see any that were added more than 30 days from the date of joining.  So if your MBP signed into iCloud and the MPS feature later than the other 2 devices it will not see photos that they might.  Also if you've turned off My Photo Stream on the MPB and then added it back it will only see the last 30 days worth.

  • How to sync different apps to iPhone and iPad in the same library on same laptop

    Hi, I own a iphone and my brother owns a ipad. I have my own apps on my iphone, and he has his own apps on his ipad. When I first connected my iphone to my macbook, all my apps were backed up on my computer. Now today, I connected my brother's ipad to my library, it started syncing the apps that were stored in my library to his ipad, and vice versa. I don't want that, neither does he. How do I stop this? Please help

    I found out that by holding down the option key on the macbook pro keyboard and clicking itunes icon, it gives me an option to create a separate library. This is very very convenient and organized! This enables me to keep my brother's and my stuff separate in itunes in two different libraries WITHOUT making a separate user account on my laptop.

  • How do I get my contacts to sync using iCloud for iPhone and iPad.

    I can sync my pictures using icloud on my iPhone and my iPad however when I try to do the same for contacts having no luck. Also when I type a callander event on my iPad it comes up on my phone however when I type entry on iPad on calendar it does not come up on my phone.. Can anyone help.

    Yes I agree with iamjeremie above. I am a newbie and had some trouble with this myself over last few days but now sorted.
    You can also select existing cal entries, edit them and change calendar to correct one (iCloud cal in your case). Yes you need to set iCloud cal as default in settings. Also it may be worth disabling other unused or unwanted calendars in other accounts if you only want to use iCloud. Make sure to accept the prompt and save existing entries to device when disabling accounts so you do not loose or switch off your existing entries. Less confusing that way. Remember you can change entries to another cal in the future if you wish.
    Keep it simple. I now have 2 calendars set up on iPhone and one on iPad.
    Exchange cal for work. On exchange server at work and work stuff syncs with windows PC and server at work.
    Hotmail cal for personal stuff that syncs with work iPhone, home PC and personal iPad.
    I would have used iCloud for all but work iPhone and personal iPad are on separate iCloud accounts.
    This was a work around and works great for me and enables me to enter synced personal cal entries on my work iPhone.
