How do I transfer .mp3 files from my PC to my iPad Air

Have .mp3 files (recorded bird songs) that would like to put on new iPad Air.  Also have old MacBook.

If you want them in the Music app on your iPad then you can add them to your Mac's iTunes library via File > Add To Library (or drag-and-drop them from Finder into iTunes).
You can then sync them to your iPad (you've synced the iPad to that Mac before ?) by connecting it to your Mac, selecting it via the device icon that should show in your Mac's iTunes towards the top left (next to the content category icons), selecting the Music category on the left-hand sidebar, and selecting and syncing them to the iPad.

  • Please can someone tell me how to save a MP3 file from my email on my iPad so I can put in on Facebook? Thankyou

    Hi jscher200,
    Thank you for your reply, sorry for the VERY late late response, but I have just figured out how to control this separate 'panel'. I find it really useful for monitoring Google Analytics in as it can just sit there running. It does have its limitations, as it's a limited size (you can't expand it to full screen view), so you can only ever see a vertical section of a website and need to scroll to look to the right or left, but I have the live view of people accessing my website running on there and if the numbers start racking up at any time, I can scroll to look and see what pages they are accessing, where they've been referred from, etc.
    To get it to work, you save a website address in the Bookmarks Toolbar and when you can see it sitting on the toolbar at the top of the screen with its little icon, right click on it then click 'properties', then tick the box 'Load this bookmark in the sidebar'. The next time you click on this bookmark to open the website, it will load in this sidebar, which looks like a separate 'window' but is immovable. You can only have one sidebar application running at a time, but can change it by right clicking on the bookmark you want to load in there and it will then change to that one next time you click on that bookmark.
    I hope this might be useful to others, as I asked for help with this on loads of forums and not one person knew that this existed - even really skilled techies!

    How do I transfer epub files from my laptop to my Ipad Air

    If they don't digital-rights-management on them (if they do then check the site that you got them from for which apps you can use for them on your iPad) then you can add them to your computer's iTunes library via the File > Add To Library menu option - if using a Mac with OS X Mavericks on it then add them to its iBooks app via File > Add To Library.
    Then connect your iPad to your computer and select it in your computer's iTunes, and use the Books tab to select and sync the epubs to your iPad's iBooks app

  • How do u transfer a file from a desktop to an ipad?

    I installed itunes and have the usb cable connected. I can see the ipad. How do i transfer files from my desktop to the ipad?

    Depends what kind of files, you have to have apps that allow for file sharing in itunes. (if this is what you are refering to). Directions can be found in the help tab of the itunes toolbar.
    Transfer files between your computer and mobile apps
    If you have an iPod touch or iPhone with iOS 4 or later software, or an iPad, you can use iTunes to transfer files between your computer and an app on your device that supports file sharing.
    You might want to do this if, for example, you want to save files you create on your device to your computer, or take files with you so you can use them when you’re away from your computer.
    You don’t need to sync your device to transfer files, but your device needs to be connected to your computer.
    For information about supported apps, see the documentation for your apps.

  • How can I transfer PDF files from my Apple to my iPad?

    I can transfer "Word" documents from my Apple to my iPad by adding, within iTunes, the required files to the App. Pages and then sync.
    I can also add PDF files to my Pages App in iTunes using the same method, BUT I can't open them in Pages - only the Word documents open.
    Do I need a different to read PDF files in iPad or am I just doing it wrongly?
    Help - please

    I don't have the Pages app (but I think that it may only supports exporting as PDF, not reading them), but if you have the iBooks app then you can sync them to that via iTunes : add the PDFs to your computer's iTunes (File > Add File To Library) and they should then appear in the Books part of your Library, and you can then sync them to the iBooks app via the Books tab that appears on the right-hand side of iTunes when you've selected the iPad 'device' on the left-hand side.
    There are also other free PDF apps e.g. Adobe Reader

  • How do I transfer MP3 files from my PC to iPhone

    Although I've read many items concerning this issue I still can NOT understand how to transfer some of my MP3 files to my iPhone.  When I attempt to transfer or sync song from my iTunes it states it will erase all of the other songs I have on there.  I did do this once when I first got the phone but have totally forgotten how I did it.
    I do not want my entire Library transferred to my phone, just certain songs that are on my PC.  I thought it had been a pretty easy task.
    Can someone give me the steps for doing this?
    Thanks.

    Iphone is only meant to be sync to one itunes media library.  That is why you're seeing the message about erasing all the songs.  Did you sync those other song from a different itunes library?

  • How can I transfer mp3 files from my PC to my Ipod Touch 4?

    I have an Ipod Touch 4 that was given to me. I use it almost exclusively to listen to audio books downloaded from various libraries. Once upon a time long ago I did manage to download some music (mp3 files) to the Ipod but I have no idea how. Now I would like to transfer some additional mp3 files to the Ipod but I have no idea how to do so and I have not been able to find any instructions that make sense using Google. I should also mention that I find ITunes to be the most confusing non-discoverable software I have every encountered. The instructions for dummies won't do. When it comes to ITunes I need the instructions for someone who can just barely find the on/off switch with both hands in daylight. Thanks for any help.
    P.S. I developed business application software for 40 years so I am PC literate, just not ITunes and Ipod literate.<g>

  • How do I transfer mp3 files from my Win XP desktop to my ipad2 ?

    I installed Itunes on my Windows XP Pro desktop system. I eventually created two separate folders on itunes
    to organize mp3 files.
    But I'll be dammed if I can get those mp3s on itunes to transfer to the iPad2. I have turned on match under the
    store tab, in Itunes.
    I have looked for something to activate it on the ipad. The iPad2 lists recent purchases.
    (These voice mp3s are not music)  It lists all songs. It has a tab which says download all songs.
    It does nothing.
    There is a tab for 'not on this iPad', it doesn't do anything.
    There is a tab for the cloud. It doesn't do anything.
    I have wasted 1 1/2 hrs getting nowhere. Not impressed, Apple.
    When I plugged in the USB cable to the desktop, I did see my photos and videos, period, nothing more.

    You can use 3rd party apps like Music Download.

  • How do I transfer PDF files from PC to IPAD using Itunes 12.1.2.  Previous versions let me drag file in Itunes to Ipad and files appeared under Ibook but can't get it to work in latest 12.1.2 version.

    How do I transfer PDF files from PC (Windows 7) to IPAD using Itunes 12.1.2.  I would like to do files manually rather then auto synch.  Previous versions let me drag file in Itunes to Ipad and files appeared under Ibook and then I could move them to an appropriate collection title.  The interface appears to have changed in the latest ITunes version and I am not sure what the proper procedure is.

    King_Penguin - Thanks it worked perfectly.  I had my pdf files copied into ITunes on my PC but when I clicked on a pdf file to copy it I thought the sidebar would appear with my IPAD name and then I would drag it over.  I didn't realize that I needed to click-and start dragging it towards the left-hand side for the sidebar to appear.  It worked like a charm - THANKYOU!!!

  • How to transfer rmvb files from pc to the new ipad?

    I just got the new ipad 3rd generation and this is my first ipad too.  How can I transfer rmvb files from PC to the new iPad?

    Rmvb files are Real media (yuck) files and are designed to be only playable in Real media player(ewww).
    They will not playback natively on the iPad.
    You must either convert them(good luck finding something that will handle that garbage) or use a third party player from the app store.

  • How can I copy mp3 files from my Itunes library to an SD card for use in a non-apple phone?

    How can I copy mp3 files from my Itunes library to an SD card for use in a non-apple phone?  I can physically copy the tunes as mp3's but the phone does not seem to be able to play all of them.   Do I need to copy an entire album or can I just pick & choose individual songs?   The phone is question is an LG running who knows what for an operating system.

    AAC is Advanced Audio Coding.  Basically it's a format that sounds better than MP3 but doesn't take up as much space as a lossless format (like you'd have on a CD).  More than likely you've had that encoding turned on when you ripped your music into itunes (it's the default encoder).  Therefore your LG phone won't play them.
    You need to turn off the AAC format by going to the iTunes menu, Preferences, General (at the top), then clicking the "Import Preferences" button.  Change the AAC Encoder to MP3 Encoder.  After that you'll have to make MP3 copies of your songs by right clicking them and selecting "Create MP3 Version."  You'll get a copy of the song that should transfer to your SD card and have MP3 encoding.  Hopefully your phone will play that.

  • How can I transfer "Pages" files  from my IPad to my Mac?

    How can I transfer "Pages " files from my IPad to my IMac, I cannot use ICloud because I have Mountain Lion installed on the IMac?

    Actually, you can use iCloud and the way that you so it is to log into iCloud.com on the Mac (use Safari for best results) click on the Pages icon and then drag the Pages files into the browser window. It works the other way around as well. Log into iCloud.com on the Mac and download the files from Pages (that you created on the iPad) in iCloud onto your Mac. You can click on the file in the documents window and select it to Download by clicking on the Gear icon or right click upon the file and select download.
    The files will then sync to the Pages app on the iPad - assuming hat you have use iCloud tuned on in Settings>Pages>Use iCloud>On. I have an iMac running Tiger 10.4.11 that I can still move Pages/Word files back and forth Iike this.
    Also, File Sharing with iTunes is a great way to move the files back and forth.
