I am trying to download (share) selected photos from my Mac to my i-pad. Get as far as hitting apply but nothing happens. What is universal access...should I hit that button?

I am trying to  share selected photos from my Mac to my I Pad.I went into I-Tunes and  followed the instructions and am fine until it says to hit apply....which I do and nothing happens. I can't seem to highlight the I Pad "device" logo on the (left side of the I-Tunes) list to be able to share the photos. (I still want to keep them in my Mac, also). At the bottom of the instructions to accomplish this it says Universal Access...should I  click on that? And what is it? Should I be selecting synch thru wi-fi?

Eject the iPad if necessary, quit iTunes and restart your Mac.
Connect the iPad to your Mac with the cable and launch iTunes. Now see if you can click on the iPad name on the left side of iTunes. If you can, go into the photos tab of iTunes in the window on the right and make sure that the Sync Photos heading is checked. Then select the folder form which you want to sync photos - maybe iPhoto on your Mac? Then select all of the albums, events, faces - however you have them set up - then click on Apply. See if that works.
The photos will still be on your Mac after you sync. Do not click on Universal Access - you don't need that to sync.
Here is a very helpful Apple support article that you can read as well.

You can deal with WiFi sync later.

    I got an error message that I should connect to Wi-Fi after trying to download a Book Sample from the iBooks Store. I still get this error message even after I bought, downloaded, and transferred the file to my iPad's iBook thru iTunes. Wi-Fi ain't cheap.

    Hi I had a similar issue to you, I could connect to the router but no internet. Here is my explanation of how I sorted it.....I hope this works for you.
    *To anyone that is reading this it appears that the problem lay in the airport setting: IPV6: set to 'Automatically'. I turned it off (after reading someones plight on MacFixIt) & everything is back to normal.*
    *The worrying thing is although my problem was extreme with other computers on the network being locked out nothing was changed, one minute it worked the next it didn't. Reading on other forums it appears to be a problem with laptops (but I could be mistaken). A lot of people on the Macfixit forum are complaining of network just dropping out even when they are next to the router.*
    *I hope this is the fix (although I dont know why it suddenly went to sh*t!) & I hope my hair pulling & trawling the forums can help someone else out.*
    Much Respect

  • I'm trying to install windows 8 on mac, but after partitioning and restarting, it stucks on blue logo and i waited 20 minutes but nothing happened, what can i do, please help.

    I'm trying to install windows 8 on mac, but after partitioning and restarting, it stucks on blue logo and i waited 20 minutes but nothing happened, what can i do, please help.

    I think there's some remmants left over from when Apple transferred stuff over. We can try a quick fix, but if that doesn't work, I think the only option is to clean install OSX and then install Windows.
    open disk utility, confirm that you only have 1 partition (mac journaled)
    restart and PRAM reset
    open disk utility and repair permissions twice
    restart boot camp assistant
    Does it work?
    If not, I would boot holding command+R, choose disk utility from the menu and completely erase your HD (formatting it as mac journaled again). Then, install OSX on this HD. Once OSX is installed, don't copy your files over from the backup yet. Instead, start boot camp assistant and see if you can get Windows installed. You can copy back your other files after we get Windows installed.

  • How can I move select photos from my mac to my macbook air?

    I would like to know the best, quickest, easiest way to move photos from my Mac to my macbook air?  I have tried Migration Assistant--was going to take 4 hours and I don't want to share all files, just photos.  I also went into System Pref. on each computer, clicked "Sharing" and attempted to allow access to both computers by setting up a Public folder but only some of the photos transferred.  I also get a message on my mb air telling me I don't have access to the pictures on the other Mac, even though I have granted access to "Everyone" in my network.   Also, I've updated both computers and rebooted them, to no avail. 
    We have a wireless network, if that makes a difference?
    Thanks!--have a client meeting in 25 minutes and need some photos--HELP!!

    1st solution
    One great features is AirDrop if you connect both Mac on the same WiFi.
    Go to finder, on the top of the left list you get : All my files, AirDrop, ...
    Click on AirDrop on both computer, you will see on both computer each other. Then just drag and drop files from one computer to the other.
    2nd solution
    Use an USB drive ... ok physical support are so boring ...
    3rd solution
    Share folders between your computer but with right rights on it ... can take a long time to explain ... ask if you wan't this solution
    4th solution : iPhoto
    if you store your pictures in iPhoto you can share your library between several iPhoto.
    Launch iPhoto on both Mac and on the source's one activate sharing library
    5th solution : iCloud
    If you have iCloud configured on both Mac and you store your photo in iPhoto both will get the last 1000th photos
    6th solution : dropbox
    Store your photo in dropbox and they will synchronize on both Mac
    7 ....

  • When I try to "Share" selected photos from iPhoto, my Air 2 hangs (the app hangs, not the entire device). Any suggestions to make this functionality work?, iPhoto hangs instead of sharing photos

    I select photos in iPhoto. I touch the "Share" icon. Then iPhoto hangs. The app is unresponsive to touch. I must fully close the app to get it to respond to my touch again. However, I cannot share these 10 photos, and it's driving me crazy.
    Plus, this website would not display anything I typed in this post, until I touched the "Boldface" icon. Go figure.

    Upgrade to v9.4.1 or
    Trash the HP Plug in from /Library/Application Support/iPhoto
    There are two libraries where this plugin might be
    HD/ Library
    and
    HD/Users/Your Name / Library
    (On 10.7 or later: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)

  • I am trying to download an iWork manual from the Apple website.  All I get is a plain black page, even tho' I am following download instructions carefully.  I have the latest version of Adobe Reader.

    I am trying to download an iWork 09 manual from the Apple website but all I get is a big plain black window.  I am following the download instructions very carefully.  I know I have the most recent version of Adobe Reader.  Using Safari, when I try to "Save As", I get a message saying "cannot export".  What am I doing wrong??

    Turns out this is an overall problem....any PDF I try to download on line turns up the same plain black page.  Doesn't matter whether it is what I tried to download mentioned above, or if it's the latest power bill from our utility company.  An UGLY black screen!!   I have it set up that downloaded PDF documents should open in Preview.
    On the other hand, any PDF documents in my computer files open with no problem.
    Prior to installing Lion, most of my activity lately has been converting AppleWorks documents to Pages and, if that doesn't work, I convert to PDF.  Other than that, I haven't been fooling around with any settings.
    Once again, I appreciate  your input....any other suggestions?

  • HT1498 The download on my apple tv was interrupted I went to check for rents on settings but nothing happens.what's going on ?

    The download of a movie was interrupted I tried the check for rentals on settings but did't work .
    Anyone knows what's going on ?
    Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    A number of people have reported similar issues recently, most appear to have found a discrepancy of some kind in their account settings and making changes to these settings has resolved the matter.
    Check your account details are correct, check that you are using the correct details for Location, Region and Time Zone. You may want to change these settings and then change them back to see if that helps.
    Also check your payment details, make sure your details are exactly how they appear on your credit card statement, you might also try changing some of those details, saving them and changing them back again.
    You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account and restarting your router.
    Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals.

  • My ipod is black and i have tried holding down power and menu but nothing happens. what should i do?

    the problem has been going on for a few days now and today i tried turning the ipod on and the apple sign flashed for a few seconds before shutting off again.
    thanks for any help!

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Hold down sleep and home buttons to get power back to iPad 4 but nothing happens

    My iPad 4 was purchased 11/2013.  It's in pristine condition.  A few weeks ago i opened a email from a known source.  The screen vertical hold went loopy and then powered-off.  I held the sleep and home buttons and restarted and everything good.  Weeks later IOS 7.0.2 update loads. The next day I'm in my FaceBook sending a message and the iPad does the same crash.  Screen flips out, goes to blue then black.  When I try to reboot with sleep and home button, Apple logo appears, stays locked on screen.  I end-up at Apple Store.  They do a restore from a previous version.  Go home and same sceanrio.  Back to Apple Store.  This time they restore to like new system.  I'm going to have reload all apps and books, etc., - no big deal, but I have to charge battery to do.  I put on charger.  Few hours later when I take off the charger the iPad will not power on at all.  Any ideas out there?

    You could try restoring the device again on your own and see of that does any good, but Apple has the capability to restore software by more sophisticated means than we every day users have. My point is that if it were me, I would take it back to the same Apple Store, with the receipt, explain the situation and politely start pushing for a replacement device.
    This one seems like it will just cause problems for you moving forward and while it's still well within warranty limits, return it.

  • I tried to get hunting regulations from LA wildlife and fisheries site a page came up with( Hunting_Reg_Final.pdf) but nothing happens. Now the page will not even open?

    The LA wildlife and fisheries page had an Adobe symbol on it. Could this be the problem?

    You will need a pdf reader to read pdf files There are a few but the free reader from Adobe is normally used. The Adobe Acrobat reader also comes with a plugin allowing it to open the pdf files in firefox. ( I note from your system details that you already have that. )
    Do you also have Abobe Acrobat itself installed and working ?
    ( the plugin itself is not sufficient)
    The well known search engine google, often offers pdf files in a html format

  • I am getting an unknown error when trying to download a word document from mail to pages, any help

    I am trying to download a word document from mail into pages and I keep getting an unknown error message, are there special settings for this? Any help much appreciated!

    Not there aren't any special settings for this. You just use the Open In feature to save the document into Pages. You could have a font in the document that Pages doesn't like, maybe something that you copied and pasted from somewhere into the document that went corrupt. But there is nothing special about the way that you save a Word document into Pages. You save it like you save any document or file into a compatible app.

  • Pull selected photos from iPhoto in TimeMachine

    Some time ago a fully backed up MacAir died. It had some major infections so we didn't use TM to load the new machine. we just dragged over the items we needed. Now I want to bring over the iPhoto library but I don't want to lose or replace what is on the new Macair. How do I keep what is on the existing new iPhoto library and bring the old pictures into it?

    No
    As I said
    Restore the old iPhoto library  a different location (desktop for example) and use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -  to move the photos you want to the new library
    You could use TM to restore selected photos from the masters folder  of the old library and import those to iPhoto  - but this loses a lot - all edits, metadata changes, etc
    You do not directly access TM backups - you use the TimeMachine application to restore them and hen you can access them
