HT201301 File Sharing Using iTunes

When I open Itunes and click on File, then devices, my only options are "sync ipad", "transfer purchases from ipad", "backup", and "restore from backup". I don't see any other place to click on devices or any place to select ipad. What am I missing?

It will depend upon the app that you are wanting to copy them to. I have the GoodReader app which supports a number of document types (e.g. word, PDF, text, rich text - read-only, it can't edit documents) and I can zip a directory on my Mac, add that .zip file via file sharing, and then unzip it into its folder structure within the app - I haven't done large directories, but it seems to work to at least one sub-folder level

How do I set File Sharing in iTunes to keep files up-to-date?

How do I set File Sharing in iTunes to keep files up-to-date? i tried iTunes File Sharing, but the updates to the files never transferred across the USB during sync. Tried to use Documents to Go, but the Apple behavior keeps them from syncing via USB, so when I am home and have no wifi/internet there is no way to transfer the files. The other apps I have looked at also use wifi/internet to get around the problematic Apple behavior, so there is no way to connect via USB that I have found other than the iTunes. Have not been able to locate any helpful information to configure the File Sharing to hotsync the files between pod and computer.

I am trying to USB sync Word, Excel, and PDF files between the ipod and the PC.
Pretty sure icloud has to have the internet to work, but I can try to see what USB options there are there when time permits.
Pretty sure dropbox has to have the internet to work, but I can try to see what USB options there are there when time permits.

Where is file sharing in iTunes 12?

Where is file sharing in iTunes 12? I used to click on the iPhone or iPad device, then select the 'apps' tab and then file sharing apps like VLC would show at the bottom. Now clicking on the device doesn't do anything.

OK, I found it. In the upper left under the menu bar are some icons. Click on the iPhone icon, then select your device, iPad, iPhone, whatever. In the far left column that appears under your device, select apps. Then you'll see apps to the right of that column. Scroll down to the bottom and you'll find the file sharing apps.

Normally set in iTunes->Preferences->Sharing. However, with the paucity of details, such as computer, OS, iTunes version, and what you're trying to do, just a WAG.

IPad Apps File Sharing in iTunes - files not displaying

Are you not supposed to be able to copy files to and from your computer/iPad for apps that support File Sharing in iTunes? When I open iTunes, connect iPad, click on the Apps, scroll below to File Sharing, the files on my iPad for the apps listed do not display; ie: Pages documents, Numbers documents, etc. I am running a Windows XP computer. I'm quite certain they were showing up there a few weeks ago.

You have to tell the iPad to send it to iTunes.
Open the document you want. Tap the spanner icon. Click Send to iTunes.
Now go to iTunes, find the iPad in the left hand pane, click Apps at the top, go to the bottom of the page, select pages in the box under 'File Sharing', and you will see that document there.
Pointless feature but there you go.

File sharing in iTunes can't save file as says the required file can't be found

I have an app which records video surveys (Miituu). I export the responses within the app and then use the file sharing section of iTunes to save the exported folder onto the PC so that I can access the files. However, despite the exported survey showing in iTunes in the file sharing section and displaying a MB size every time I try to 'save to...' it comes up with an error saying
'xxx' could not be copied because an error occurred. The required file could not be found'
Any ideas?

Problems with IPhone 5 and File Sharing with ITunes

I am using an app that let's you create ringtones. Once created you are supposed to be able to see the songs in the file sharing part of the apps tab on IPhone device on ITunes. However, I can't scroll down to see my files. I can see the part that says apps that allow file sharing, but if I click and arrow down it only moves on the left part of the screen and changes the device to Genesis. I recently purchased a Mac, and this is the first time I am using ITunes with Mac and have this problem.

Where is File Sharing in iTunes?

Have not been able to find an answer for this. I transferred a file from iMovie on the iPod to the computer and it said "Your project will appear in the File Sharing section of iTunes." Cannot find the File Sharing section anywhere on the menu. iMovie on the iPod says the movie was transferred but I can't find it in iTunes. Can't find it using Finder either. I found 3 others who had the same problem but no answer.

It's not in the main menu and not very intuitive, but, get the device you were running iMovie on connected to iTunes so it displays in the "Devices" list.
Select the device so the main panel shows its details.
Click the "Apps" header on the devices details
wait an eternity while it loads
scroll down to the File Sharing section
Click iMovie
You should see your project on the right
iTunes is the slowest app on my computer by the way.<edited by host>

the files in recorder app on my iphone5 will not play on phone. They will not transfer to my computer using itunes file sharing either. Help.

Back up first (Time machine) as much as possible.
Un-install and re install Itunes.
First and foremost download the updated iTunes from apple website. After downloading Uninstall itunes and all its component ( Dont worry, itunes library where your movies and music is located will not be deleted. Please follow instructions on the apple support page). The problem might be the AppleMobileDevice.kext
Heres the instructions on how to un install iTunes

Family sharing using iTunes cards

both my wife and I use iTunes cards for the purchase of apps and music in the App Store. We now want to enable family sharing on our devies and are being forced to provide credit card or bank details in our accounts to use it.
apple need to allow the use of family sharing without credit cards etc.

Thank you for your response, but the gift card has been redeemed already on my account. I am the family organizer with a gift card balance already.
and only YOU can use that gift card balance...
However, as the family organizer with a gift card balance, my daughter made a purchase and it was processed against my credit card, instead of my gift card balance. I think it's a glitch with family share. I see that I am not the only one with this problem.
This is how FamilySharing with Gift Cards is supposed to work.
Using gift cards in Family Sharing will charge against a gift card ONLY for purchases against that specific account.
You redeemed the gift card you you account so only purchases YOU make will go against that gift card.
If your daughter redeems a gift card, any purchases she makes will go against that gift card.
-> How iTunes Store purchases are billed - Apple Support
"How are Family Sharing purchases billed?
When you initiate a new purchase, it will be billed directly to the family organizer's account, unless you have gift or store credit. First, your store credit will be used to pay the partial or total bill. The remainder will bill to the family organizer. iTunes Store credit on your account isn't shared with other family members. So if the family organizer has a $50 credit on their account and another family member initiates a purchase, it won't deduct from the organizer's iTunes Store credit, but will bill the organizer's credit or debit card."

File sharing using APLs How-to?

Hi there,
We are a small business company switched to mac pro-s and got a problem with file sharing on local network.
When someone creates a file anywhere on the network, example: save a *.dwg /*.doc /*.pdf or simply create a new folder it has only permissions like:
read access for staff and for everyone
read and write for the specific user who created so "owns" the file
The problem is we always receive files via email onto the mac mini and want to send files from all over the network ect. We work in teamwork mode in some apps so we do really need read and write permissions all over the network BUT NOT ON THE Macintosh HD-s. In every mac Pro there is a RAID drive called DATA. I need your help how to get all the old and newly created files read and write permissions on all the data disks. We have 8 users globally.
I've read about ignoring permissions on a whole drive-I really don't want to do so.
I've also found Setting up the thing with ACLs But I'm not yet an expert in terminal. Could you give me a step by step "guide" how to set up my user group and the permissions for my data drives.
Thanks,
Gabor

Hi GaborP
In my experience, permissions are something you either
• delve into, by reading the man pages of chown, chmod, sticky, chflags and acl as well as articles and books OR
• have someone who already knows his stuff set it up for you according to your needs.
In other words: In my experience, step-by-step guides won't reflect your needs.
What you want is to make use of the principle of "inheritance". Also, try to work out a folder structure that fits the working process of your team. Partitioning the minis HD into a boot and a data volume might be a first step.
To facilitate administration without the Terminal, have a look at the Server Admin Tools: Workgroup Manager is used on Mac OS X Server to administrate users, groups and sharing, but it can also be pointed at "normal" clients to give you a GUI access to folder permissions.
Kind regards

File sharing using accounts: private shares on main TC drive only

Is there a way to use "accounts" file sharing mode and allow users to have private sections of USB drive(s)? When I attach USB drives in "accounts" mode, it creates a "shared" folder on the file system, and all files placed there by any users are read/writable by all other users. The only place a user can keep private files is on the onboard drive. This is not good! Any workaround? Did I miss a trick?

CLARIFICATION:
Hi!
I've TC 1 TB, latest model (Early 2009 in Apple terms I suppose).
Can I have private folders in EXTERNAL USB drive for accounts?
I've created two user accounts via Airport Utility->Disks->Secure Shared Disks: With accounts.
User account 1 sees three kind of Sharepoints via Time Capsule's entry under Shared-category in Finder:
- external USB drive in whole (bad bad)
- entry for main level so internal disk inside TC
- dedicated account directory for this user account (let's say: account1) in TC's internal drive
User account 2 sees:
- external USB drive in whole (bad bad)
- entry for main level so internal disk inside TC
- dedicated account directory for this user account (let's say: account2) in TC's internal drive
If wanted scenario isn't possible in TC, how about Airport Extreme, can disks be controlled there separately?
Summa summarum: I'm trying to have poor man's fileserver in my home network. Target is to have common place for users' files (while maintaining privacy), so external USB drive for this purpose. TC's internal drive dedicated for Time Machine backups only.
BR,
