How to transfer GB music file from iPad to iMac?

Hello to all!
Have created a music file on my iPad Mini and am unable to transfer it to my iMac through AirDrop. With WiFi and Bluetooth on for both, the iMac first shows being connected and then shows not connected to the iPad...stating that it is not supported.
Any leads?
Thanks in advance.

Does your iMac qualify?
See this document:
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203106
In order to transfer files between a Mac and and an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch
your iOS device needs to include a lightning connector
your iOS device needs iOS 7 or later installed
your Mac needs to be a 2012 or later model with OS X Yosemite installed
Your Mac and iOS device both need bluetooth and Wi-Fi turned on. You do not have to be connected to a specific Wi-Fi network.
if your mac does not qualify for Air Drop, use iTunes file sharing or iCloud:
See:  Use iCloud with GarageBand
or: Share GarageBand songs (use iTunes....)

  • How can i transfer my music files from iPad 2 to MacBook Pro?

    hello,
    I got my mp3 files from PC and transfer to iPad 2. it works good.
    And I want to transfer this mp3 files from iPad to MacBook Pro.
    I don't know how to do it and it seems like I should 'buy some tranfer program from other website'.
    Should it word that way? or iTunes program can't deal this issue?
    I have changed some music file information (such as Album, Artist, etc) of mp3 files in iPad from iTune in MacBook. Of course, the iPad was connected to the MacBook. However after I disconnected the iPad from the Mac, those changes were not shown in the iPad (edited album name, artist name...). When I connect the iPad to the Mac again, I can see the changes in iTune in the Mac.
    Another issue.
    Does Anybody know how to set calendar from Japanese calendar to Gregorian calendar in iPad 2? When I setup the iPad first time, I might choose wrong calendar but I can't change/see the calendar option from iPad settings...
    I have been used PC for 20 years but to transfer myself to Apple, it's not easy....
    Issue 1 - music file transfer from iPad 2 to MacBook Pro
    Issue 2 - music file info udate in iPad 2 through MacBook and it doen's implied after disconnected.
    Issue 3 - Change calendar from Japanese to Gregorian in iPad 2
    Please advise,
    Have a great day!!

    A free app that can deal with music files is Songbird.
    There are two paid apps that can transfer just about any type of file; TouchCopy and PhoneView

  • I had my music stored on iTunes on my laptop, which is no longer working, so I bought an iPad, but cannot work out how to transfer my music files from my iPod to my iPad. Why is there no way of connecting one to the other??? Frustrated

    I had my music stored on iTunes on my old laptop which is no longer working. I purchased an iPad 2 but don't understand why there is no way of connecting my iPod to my iPad to transfer my music over. Is there an app or something I can use to operate my iPod through my iPad, instead of a PC? If not, then I guess I should've bought a new lap top instead of an iPad.

  • How do I transfer a music file from my MacBook Pro to my iPhone?

    How do I transfer a music file from my MacBook Pro to my iPhone?

    If you download Adode Reader (free but very limited) or GoodReader (many features) - you can use file sharing.
    Connect the iPad to the Mac and launch iTunes. Select the iPad on the left side under Devices. Click on the Apps tab in the iTunes window on the right. Scroll down to the File sharing apps window. Click on the file sharing app that you are using (Adobe Reader or GoodReader in this example). Drag the document from the desktop onto the file sharing window on the right side - or click on the add button in the lower right corner - and navigate to where the file is on the Mac and select it that way.

  • How do I import music files from a flash drive to my iTunes library on my laptop

    How can I import music files from a flash drive to my iTunes library? I put the flash drive into my laptop, selected " add file to library", selected the songs I wanted from the flash drive, and it looked like they were added as the names show under " recently added". Then I removed the flash drive from my laptop But when I select one of the songs and try to play it a message saying "the song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"  So it seems the actual files did not transfer. What do I do? I have done this. With a cd in the past with nsomproble,.

    Thank you!! This worked. It does seem there should be an easier way but this did work.
    Dragging the files to "Automatically Add..." is pretty easy once you know where to look.  Just make sure iTunes is running when you do it; otherwise the files will just sit there until the next time you open iTunes.
    (Interestingly, the way you originally tried to do would have worked fine except for one little detail:  you have to first go into Edit > Preferences > Advanced, and check the box for "Copy files..."  If that is not done, iTunes will reference the files on the flash drive, which of course are not accessible once the drive is removed, as you saw.)
    Anyway, glad that all is now sorted.  Enjoy the music!

  • How do I move music files from the startup disc to iTunes in the other internal hard disk os 10.5.8?

    How do I move music files from the startup disc to iTunes in the other internal hard disk os 10.5.8?
    The music I want to move was in iTunes but is now just files. I had to reinstall a new iTunes and lost all my old music.
    Thank you!

    That article is about using your iPod as an external hard drive, to move files from one computer to another computer.  It is not related to your question.
    You can't use iTunes to move song files from iPod to computer, except for songs you purchased from the iTunes Store (and you can also re-download purchases).  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can move song files from iPod to computer.  If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    Once the song files are on your current computer, add them to that computer's iTunes library by dragging the files (or folder containing the files) to the iTunes window.  After confirming everything is there (and fixing the data issue you mentioned) you can sync the iPod.  You may want to do a Restore on the iPod, if it might have a data corruption issue, which will erase the iPod's hard drive, re-install the latest software, and set it to defautl settings.

  • 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.

    Thanks!

    I haven't researched it and I don't claim to know everything about iTunes, but it has always been my understanding that you can only use one computer per iPod, but you can have multiple iPods per computer. From what I understand, this is to prevent illegal sharing and whatnot.

  • How do I transfer my music files from Sony Sonic Stage to iTunes?

    When iTunes prompts me to transfer my music files into iTunes the files in Sonic Stage are not transfered and I cannot find a way to transfer them over.
    Dell Inspiron 1150   Windows XP  

    I tried to transfer songs from Sonic Stage but the formats simply aren't compatible. I ended up burning all of the songs I'd purchased with Sonic Stage onto cd's and importing them in to iTunes. Pain in the butt and time consuming but at least I didn't lose my music.
    Don't trash your Sonic Stage though! I moved my songs to iTunes and now am unable to burn with it. I'm so glad I didn't wipe out everything from Sonic Stage since I've reverted back to using it when I have to burn or if I want to do a compilation cd. Can't hurt to cover your bases.

    Hi there China2,
    If you are using Windows, then head to Windows Explorer, plug your device in, select your device and you can copy the images over from the device to any location on your computer as normal.
    On a mac, plug your device in, launch iPhoto, and click import.
    Hope this helps,
