How do youTransfer mobi files from MacBook to iPad mini?

I can't get mobi books transferred to my iPad mini. Do I need third party app?
Apple advice seems incomplete and unclear.

Thanks this helps but I wasn't clear about my issue. I have dozens (2GB) of mobi books (drm free) on my macbook and emailing or is too slow. I was hoping to be able to transfer through the itunes connect with the ipad mini usb cord but I can't get itunes to open an app (like ibook) to sync with.
Is Apple stopping transfer of files for anything but pictures and music?

I have tried going under the Apps tab and clicking Add and adding the file to the iPad but it never shows up in the actual iPad app when i run it....any help would hbe greatly appreciated, thanks.

    You might try posting your GarageBand for iPad specific questions to that forum (it is separate from here). Link to forum: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1438
    There are a couple of threads, one with specifics - on how to transfer GarageBand files back and forth between the Mac and the iPad versions of GarageBand. Here is one link: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2784430&tstart=0

  • How do I migrate files from MacBook running OS 10.4.11 to new MacBook Pro running OS 10.6? Thanks.

    How do I migrate files from my MacBook (specs below) to my still in the box MacBook Pro running OS 10.6?  Yesterday, I ran Software Update; it returned the message that all my software was up to date / no updates available.
    I am particularly concerned with moving the 7000+ photos in iPhoto.  I have photos organized into folders and albums and want to preserve this structure.  I use this photo data as part of my lecture content.
    Thanks for your help.

  • How to copy pdf files from computer to ipad

    how to copy pdf files from computer to ipad

    You can PDFs to the iPad, but first you need one or more apps on the iPad that supports PDFs - unlike a 'normal' computer the iPad doesn't have a file system, and everything on it has to be associated with an app.
    Options include free apps such as Apple's iBooks app and also Adobe Reader - and paid-for apps such as GoodReader (which also supports read-only of other documents types).
    For iBooks you can first add the PDFs to your computer's iTunes via File > Add To Library, and you can then sync them by selecting the iPad on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (on iTunes 11 you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC) and using the Books tab on the right-hand side to select and sync them.
    For Adobe Reader adnd GoodReader you can use the file sharing on the Apps tab on the right-hand side to copy them over : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4094

  • How do I transfer files from my PC to mini Mac if I only have one monitor?

    I'm going to be purchasing a Mac mini. I have a Windows PC running XP. I only have one display monitor, so I was wondering how do I transfer files from my XP to my mini Mac with only one monitor?
    Thanks

    You'd have to give us some more information in regard to the inputs of your display.
    Generally, you should be able to plug your current PC into one input (DVI most likely) and then the Mac mini into another (HDMI) then flip between the inputs on the monitor via the on-screen menu.

  • How do I transfer a file from macbook to ipad without itunes?

    Hi, I purchased a children's learning program online. I am now trying to transfer that program file from my macbook onto my kids ipad's. How do I do this without using itunes? I didn't aquire it from itunes but from the makers own website. We homeschool our kids and it would be so much easier for them to each have it on their own ipads. Thank you anamanners

    The only place you can get programs for the iPad is from the iTunes Store. An application downloaded from a developer's web site will not work, and probably is for some other platform such as your Mac, as Kappy suggested. You'll need to ask the developer if they make a version for the iPad and if so will need to get it from the iTunes Store.
    Regards.

  • How to transfer large files from macbook pro to External Hard Drive?

    I want to transfer a file from my Mac to an external hard drive, it says "The item “File name” can’t be copied because it is too large for the volume's format."
    I am trapped, if there is any way you could suggest me to overcome this problem I will be grateful.

    I may be wrong, but I believe the format has something to do with it - note the sizes here (from the Help in Disk Utility on how to format a drive for Windows):

  • How to transfer m4r file from macbook to iPhone?

    I could create .m4r file from mp3 file in iTunes. However, I don't see it in iTunes 'Tone'.
    I can see it in Finder as well as in iTunes music tab.
    Can someone help how to bring it to iPhone as a ringtone after this step of creating .m4r file?

    Thanks. I, now, could create ringtone with the Ringtone Maker and could transfer/sync it to iPhone. However, when assigned to one of the contacts and tested if rings when that person calls - it did not ring with the new tone. Instead, it was the default ringtone. Is there any other step that I should be doing before assigning it to a contact?

  • How do I transfer files from macbook to iMac?

    can I transfer filels directly from macbook to imac or do I have to do it through dropbox or bluetooth?

    Easiest and quickest way is to connect the two machines with an ethernet wire...they will automatically network with each other.
    The hard drive of the MacBook should appear on the desktop of the iMac, open it, find the files you want to transfer and drag-and-drop to the appropriate folder of the iMac.

  • How do I get files from mac to ipad

    Just brought IPAD Mini and can't get my documents to sync over. Have Microsoft Office 2011 for MAC.

    You can copy word, excel, and powerpoint documents to the iPad, but first you need one or more apps on the iPad that support those document types - unlike a 'normal' computer the iPad doesn't have a file system, and everything on it has to be associated with an app.
    The options include Apple's Pages app for Word documents, Numbers for Excel spreadsheets and Keynote for Powerpoint. And from third-parties apps such as Documents To Go ('premium' version) and QuickOffice Pro HD.
    As to how you then get the file to your chosen app will depend upon what the app supports - different apps will have different ways of copying their content to/from a computer e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via your wifi network , email, dropbox etc.

  • HT204365 How to email pdf files from iBook in iPad?

    Why I can only see "print" but no "email" button when i open my pdf files in iBooks? As far as i know i should be able to email my pdf files from ibooks right?

    Yes you should be able to email a PDF from iBooks. When you tap the arrow in the upper left the option should appear.
    Maybe some basic troubleshooting steps will help.
    Quit the iBooks app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Or .... Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    You may want to consider deleting the app and reinstalling. Tap and hold down on the app icon until it jiggles, then tap the X on the icon. Tap the home button to stop the apps from jiggling. Download iBooks again.

  • Unabe to transfer .ipa file from PC to iPad mini....

    Sir,
    I have an .ipa file in my pc (Windows 8). I wanted to sync and send it to my ipad mini using itunes. All went good and itunes in PC showed my app (Sygia-mapmyindia) in the app section and in the virtual ipad screen in iTunes. But, the app is not visible in my ipad mini...I have tried searching, restarting my ipad but all in vain....
    Please help me out..
    Waiting for your reply.

    I perfer the GoodReader App, as it can reflow the text so it is more readable on an iPod Touch.  There are other PDF apps that can reflow text, but make sure they specify the ability to reflow text otherwise they are just giving you the page as is in a very VERY TINY font
    Apple's iBooks can display PDF, but it is an AS IS display.  No text reflowing.
    iTunes can transfer PDFs to iBooks, there is even a tab for that when your iPod Touch is connected to your PC and talking to iTunes.
    Many apps allow iTunes to transfer files for them.  Under iTunes -> your iPod Touch -> Apps Tab, scroll to the bottom of the apps list, and there is a section for file transfer for each app that supports file transfer.  Find your PDF app in the bottom list and if it is listed, you should be able to transfer your PDF via that app.
    Or get a free DropBox.com account for your PC and download the DropBox App for your iPod Touch and transfer that PDF that way.  Many Apps can get files via DropBox.
