How to transfer ebooks (pdf format) from MBPro to new iPad Air?

I just activated and set up my new Ipad Air. Woudl like to get my ebooks off the MBPro andn transfer them to the Air. I am afraid if I sync,  everything from the MBP will try to transfer over. Is that the correct way to do this though? If I plug in the USB cable to the MBPro can I select the files from the laptop I want to put on the iPad Air ?  I apologize if this has been addressed already in an ancient thread.

The best way to select the files you want to transfer to your iPad - with control - is to use Dropbox. Not only can you transfer PDFs, but also just about any other file - even ePub books. It's also free, and really easy to use.

  • How to transfer files over bluetooth from android phone to ipad air , the phone being already paired ?

    Look forward for a solution to above

    You cannot. iOS devices do not support file transfer from another type of device via Bluetooth. You'll need to either email the files to yourself, use a cloud-based service such as Dropbox, or sync the files to your computer so you can then sync them to your iPad.

  • How to transfer my PDF files from computer to iphone 5s

    How to transfer my PDF files from my laptop to my iPhones 5 s and how to make folder to store those files?

    The iphone does not have a file system to create a folder in, instead apps themselves are responsible for storing their files,
    Use an app like ibooks or acrobat reader.
    You can then transfer the files via itunes or email them and then use the open in... option and select your chosen app.
    They will then be stored within that app.

  • How can I open iBooks "store" from iBooks app on ipad air

    I am unable to access the iBooks "store" from the iBooks app on my new ipad air.  I have tried deleting the app and re-downloading.  I have tried turning ipad off and restarting.  Any ideas?

    Sign out of your ID, close the iBooks app, reboot the iPad, sign in again, launch the app again and then try to access the store again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store. Tap your ID and sign out.
    Close iBooks. Double tap the home button and find the iBooks app thumbnail on the screen. Swipe up on the app preview thumbnail to close it completely.
    Reboot the iPad. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen and then let go of the buttons.
    After the device completely restarts, go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store and sign in. Launch iBooks and then try to access the store again.

    You can copy them via your computer's iTunes - you can't connect an iPad to iPod for direct transfer, though if you iOS 5 set up on both devices and iCloud enabled you might be able to re-download some of your iTunes purchased music on the other device.

  • How to transfer album of images from desktop mac to iPad mini

    I want to transfer an album of photos from my desktop mac to my iPad mini. The photos are in a certain order that I want.
    1.  In iPhoto on my desktop, I went to Preferences > Sharing -- and checked "Share my photos" and "Share Selected albums:".
    2.  I checked only one album, the album I want to transfer. 
    3.  I plugged in my iPad mini using USB.  The icon appears on the sidebar in iPhoto.  Then it automatically syncs "477 images."  I don't know why this happens.  I only checked one album, as stated.  Regardless, none of those photos in the album transfer.
    Anyone have any suggestions?  I search internet for help, but the tips always send me to iTunes.  I don't see how to do anything with my photos in iTunes anymore.
    Thank you.

    You need to sync using iTunes on your Mac to specify which photo albums from iPhoto or the new Photos app that you want to sync to your iPad. Start iTunes on the Mac and connect your iPad. Then select your iPad at the top of the iTunes windows. You should be provided with a hint about where to make this selection.
    Select the Photos tab and choose to sync selected albums. Select the album you want to sync. The click on Sync or Apply.
    The selected album or albums will be copied to the iPad.

  • How can I get my contacts from PC (outlook) to ipad air?

    I found how to get contacts from ipad to PC, but I need to go the other way.  PC is Windows 8.1   Ipad air operating system 7.0.6

    Hi Skydiver119.
    Yes, I sync my music to my PC on iTunes.  Your instructions are exactly what I've read you are suppose to do but when I go to the info tab, there isn't a choice to sync from outlook.
    Under Sync Contacts it says;
    Your contacts are being synced with your iPad over the air from iCloud.  Over the air sync settings can be changed on your iPad.
    Thanks again Skydiver119 for your help.
    If I don't hear anything else, I will try to export my contacts and email them to myself but I would think I would have to enter them manually that way, but I don't know.

  • How can transfer my PDF file from my Computer to my iPad ? Ps: my computer not Mac .

    I have books and files in my computer I want to relocate it to my iPad to read it, what should I do? Step by step please .
    My PC is not Mac.

    You first need one or more apps on your iPad that support the types of file that you want to copy over to it, the iPad doesn't have a file system link a 'normal' computer, everything has to be stored within an app.
    For PDFs there are 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 word and excel documents). For documents 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.
    For iBooks, which supports PDFs, you should be able to add the PDFs to your iTunes library via File > Add To Library, and they should go into the Books section of your library. You can then sync them to iBooks by connecting your iPad to your computer and selecting it on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes (if you have iTunes on your computer then you can enable the left-hand sidebar via control-S), and on the right-hand side use the Books tab to select and sync them to the iBooks app.

  • How do I get audiobooks transferred from iPod to new iPad? They aren't showing up on iPad after being bought on iPod.

    Bought an iPad today and everything looks like it is there except audiobooks that were bought on the iPod

    Audiobooks are currently a one-time only download from the store, so they won't appear in the cloud for re-downloading. You should be able to connect the iPod to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchased to copy them over to the Books part of your computer's iTunes library and you can then sync them to your iPad

    To copy PDFs to the iPad you first need an app on the iPad that supports PDFs - the iPad doesn't have a file system like a 'normal' computer, everything has to be associated with an app. As to how you then get the PDF to your chosen app will depend upon what the app that you have/get 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 wifi, email, dropbox etc.
