Hi all,
I have PDF files that I put on my Mac iBook application, how do I sync them with other devices?

HT5826 I have PDF docs that I opened in iBooks on my iPad but can't see them on my iPhone 5s

I opened them from the internet and bought them into iBooks on my iPad so I could read them offline. I also want to be able to access them from my iPhone 5s so if I'm on the go and want to access them, I can. I have tried to sync but nothing happens. I didn't think it would have to purchase through iBooks for it to sync. HELP

You will need to copy them over to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases (even though they aren't iTunes purchases, if they are in the iBooks app then that should copy them over to your computer), and you can then sync them to your iPhone.
The 'sync collections' setting will only keep collections in-line between the devices on which you have it 'on' i.e. if you are have PDF or book on both devices and you move it into a collection on one device, then it will also be moved in the same collection on your other device(s) which have 'sync collections' 'on'. But if the PDF or book isn't on your other devices then it won't copy it onto it - you need to copy your PDFs / epubs / ibooks onto each device that you want them on.

I have .pst files on an external hard drive (FAT 32). How do I import them to my mac mail

I have .pst files on an external hard drive (FAT 32), and no access to a Windows OS. How do I import into mac mail?

From the details provided, it appears to me that your Mac Mail should be able to attach the file without any problem. If you can do that then you are going to have to provide more detail for us to help you.

I have pdf photos that I need to add to iPhoto. How do I do this?

I am trying to create a book of phtos from iphoto but i cannot transfer my pdf photographs onto iphoto. Help?

pdf isn't an image format so you'll need to convert them into one.
Open them in Preview and export as Jpeg, Tiff or Png.

All PDF files on my computer open when I try to just open 1 of them with Acrobat Pro 9

Everytime I try to open a PDF in acrobat pro 9 several other PDF documents open as well (like every single one it can find on my computer). I do not have this problem if I open the file in acrobat 8 pro. Any ideas what I can do to fix this problem? Thanks.

Others have reported the problem. One or two people fixed the issue by closing each file. Then quit the program, then use either Applejack or Onyx to empty all the caches (System and User).

HT4527 i have an ipad iphone and ipod all synced with my old windows 7 pc how do i sync them with my new imac without lossing my data

Help I dont understand the instruction. I transfered by date using the migration assistant which didn't work that well as it locked all the file. I managedto sort this out but it did nt transfer this automatically to itunes. what do I need to do now ?

It's alright, I don't have a Mac so I get confused too. The option key should be somewhere to the left of the space bar and look like it is trying to represent railway points.
I don't know how migration assistant works, but presumably it has dumped an iTunes folder somewhere on the Mac. Inside that should be a file called iTunes Library.itl that is the core of the library. Unfortunately iTunes "thinks different" so we can't just double click the file to open it, that opens whatever the "current" library is instead, so you'll need to hold down option (shift for Windows) to get a dialog to choose or create a library. Click choose and browse to the relevant file.
If iTunes can't play your music at this point and gives the exclamation mark of doom then we need to go back to the Windows 7 library, tweak it up for easy export then bring it over again. Overview here. Customized instructions on request.

HT4906 I have photos on my iPad how do I sync them with my MacBook Pro?

I just bought a MacBook Pro and I am able to sync calenders and contacts et al but my photos on my iPad don't sync with the compurter. What am I doing wrong?

Any photos you take with your iPad will be added to the iPad's Camera Roll.
If you set up Photo Stream on your iPad, the new photos in the Camera Roll will automatically be added to the Photo Stream.
On your Mac you need iPhoto or Aperture to import the photos from the Photo Stream into a Photo Library. This Photo Stream feature requires OS X Lion v10.7.2 (or later) and iPhoto 9.2 (or later) or Aperture 3.2 (or later).
On your new MacBook Pro you probably have MacOS X 10.8.2 and iPhoto 9.4.2, so the Photo Stream should be available. Have you enabled it in the iCloud settings? And are you using the same Apple ID on both your iPad and your Mac?

Why can't I open/see PDF files that are embedded in an email or sent through the internet?

I can read/see PDF files that are attached to an email, but I can't see/read them if they are embedded in an email or sent through the internet.

I have a similar problem. I can open, read, and save PDF files, but I can't view my online bank statement on my Mac. The statement opens automatically if I use a PC, but on my Mac the page says I need Adobe Reader to view my statement. I already have the latest version of Adobe Reader. The problem seems to be that that the plugin only goes to the Libray. It doesn't get installed into Safari or into FireFox either.

I have nine, 1-page PDF files that are accessible and need to combine into 1 PDF file. I have tried appending, adding and the combine PDFs process. The file created is not keeping my changes. The created file is partially accessible but I have to re-fix

I have nine, 1-page PDF files that are accessible and need to combine into 1 PDF file. I have tried appending, adding and the combine PDFs process. The file created is not keeping my changes. The created file is partially accessible but I have to re-fix issues I had fixed in the single files. I need suggestions on what else can be done if any. Using Acrobat pro XI.

Out of habit, I tend to combine PDF files in the Page Thumbnails pane by right-click then "Insert Pages" -> "From File". For me, this preserves the tags from both documents, although the tags may have to be moved into the right location (if I recall correctly the tags for the inserted pages get put at the end of the tag structure, regardless of where the pages are inserted), If I first put the tags for the document to be inserted inside a container tag like Section, it makes the process easier. Moving that set of tags to the right place is the only re-fixing that I recall having to do. What behavior are you experiencing?

Adobe Reader Splash--I have a PDF file that whenever I try to open it suggests using Adobe Reader with a link to download Adobe Reader. I can't get beyond this. I have made Preview the default for all PDF's and yet this persists. I have also deleted Adobe Reader. This particular file is a portfolio, btw.

I followed the FAQ troubleshooting and that didn't help

Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

I have recently received a pdf file that, although previously opened, now shows totally blacked out? What can I do to correct this?

Hi rdfnra,
Please check the Page Display preferences (File > Preferences/Acrobat > Preferences) and make sure that Show Large Images is selected. If sounds as though this PDF may have been created from a scanned document, and this preference is disabled.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste (command-V) into the text box that opens, then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

I opened a PDFs file that was attached to an email message and now it will not close when I press "Done" as it usually does. Does anyone have a solution to suggest? Thanks.

Try double clicking your home button then force close the stuck PDF by swiping upward. Once you've done that just click the home button again to exit.
