  • How do you download data from your macbook to the ipad?

    how do you transfer data from your macbook to the ipad?

    What data do you want to transfer ? Music, films, tv shows, photos and ibooks are done by syncing in iTunes (for which there is some help in the iPad manual which can be downloaded from here http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad). Documents can also be done via iTunes, but it depends upon the app and the transfer method(s) that it supports e.g. file sharing via the bottom of the device's apps tab on your computer's iTunes, via your wifi network, cloud services, email attachments etc
    Edit : have you got the Keynote app on your iPad, or any other app that supports keynote presentations ? Without a 'suporting' app you can't store a document/file on the iPad (unlike computers files have to be stored within an app)..

  • I synced my iPhone with iTunes, and it deleted all my music on my computer and my iPhone except for what I'd purchased using the iPhone. The rest of my music is still on my iPad, so how do I get it from my iPad to the computer, and back on my phone?

    The rest of my music is still on my iPad, so how do I get it from my iPad to the computer, and back on my phone? All my music is sitting there safely on my iPad, but whenever I try to sync it with my computer the only option I get is to wipe the iPad and replace it with the files on the computer---which is only a fraction of what I had originally. How do I fix this?? It even deleted my playlists, and I now only have some 200 songs left out of what used to be over 1000!

    It can not do that all by itself.
    When you plugged it in, iTunes said 'Oh goody! You got a new phone! Would you like to make it just like your old phone?'...
    You explicitly said 'Yes'.
    You can't undo that.
    No backup of the current state of the new phone was made. It was wiped and the last backup of your old phone was restored to it.
    Anything you had on the new phone is gone.

  • I have a 120gb Classic that has no space left on it. i am going to buy a larger gb capacity ipod as soon as i get clearer instruction on how to get the old ipod content to the new ipod. How do you get content from one ipod to the other?

    how do you get content from one ipod to the new one? my content is on an external hard drive not on my pc and i have run out of space on my 120gb classic. can you get old ipod content to new? my itunes has only got short cuts, the real content is on an external drive? can this be done?? please help

    If the content is on an external drive, but your library knows where to find it, then it should all work. Connect your device, make some selections for what to put on it, and sync. If, on the other hand, your current iPod is the only place holding some of your media then see this user tip: Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • When I use Home sharing, I can see the library I want to copy, but when I highlight the library, the import button does not show up. Also, it will not let me drop and drag. How do I get music from one computer to the other computer?

    When I use Home Sharing, I can see the library I want to copy under Shared, but I can't get it save on the computer under the regular library. I go to edit and "select all" but there is no import button that is in the right hand corner. Also, it will not let me click and drag the music. How do I get it from one computer to the other?

    Since both computers are connected via the network, you could simply copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from one computer to another via the network.
    If both computers are running Windows, use the Easy File Transfer Utility built into Windows to move iTunes and all other user media/data.

    How can I get Data from the Sound cart in Labview? Does a VI exist?

    Yes, there are VIs for acquiring data from Sound cards. And examples too. If you don't have LabVIEW yet, do a search on NI's site for example VIs.

  • How do i get data from a structure using join?

    hi,
    what is the actual use of a structure.?
    my problem is :
    KUAGV is an existing STRUCTURE. it has got one fields each which links to MARA, AND VBKD tables. i want to fetch all related information from KUAGV, mara, vbkd . which is the better way : using joins or views or anything else? how do i
    get data from a structure using join?

    structure temporarily holds  any data passed to it dynamically throughout the runtime but doesnot store it permanently. so
    a structure cannot be included in a join.so instead of incuding structure KUAGV's field in a join 
    search the transparent table in which same field are present and  use it in join.
    A structure if created in DDIC(Data Dictionary) is a global DATA STRUCTURE which is used to group related information, for example you would group all the details of your bank account into a structure BANK_ACCOUNT that contains fields like account_Id, account_holder_name etc.
    If you create a structure in your program then it is local to your program. So you use this structure to create data holders of this DATA TYPE to hold data in your program.

  • How do I get apps from my MacBook pro to my ipad

    How do I get apps from my MacBook pro to my ipad

    If they apps were bought on iTunes on your Mac then you can connect the iPad to your Mac, select the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and use the Apps tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to sync them to the iPad - or you can re-download them directly on the iPad via the App Store app.
    If you bought the apps in the Mac App Store then you can't sync them to the iPad as Mac apps are not compatible with the iPad

  • How do I recover data from my macbook pro with a disk that can't be repaired?

    I'm in need of a data recovery solution.  My Macbook pro (17") running OS X Mountain Lion won't boot and is stuck on the gray startup screen with the apple icon and spinning gear and disk utility states "Error: Utility can't repair this disk.  Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files."  Unfortunately, I don't have a back up and don't know how to access or back up the data on my drive.  Mounting it to another computer as an external drive  via firewire did not work.  Does anyone know of any solutions to extract the data from my macbook pro hard drive before I reformat it?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi there
    I really am sorry about your problem.  I have opened up my help centre and it too states '[...]back up as much of your data as possible, reformat the disk, reinstall OS X, and then restore your backed-up data'.  It then says: If you continue to have problems with your disk, it may be physically damaged and need to be replaced. 
    I just noticed it says reinstall OS X.  If it says this then this indicates a rather serious computing problem. 
    Help centre also states: If Disk Utility reports “overlapped extent allocation” errors, two or more files occupy the same space on your disk, and at least one of them is likely to be corrupted. [The next step is the following] Check each file in the list of affected files. [added by me]
    A damage disk causes files to be corrupted.  Also you can repair a disk by deleting corrupt files (i.e. one can still use a damaged disk providing it has been repaired).  Disk Utility is able to help to repair corruption problems but not if your program files have become corrupted due to large-scale damaged disk. 
    I understand why you want to connect to another hard disk because you want to extract your files and I would probably do the same.  I am on a 13-inch Macbook Pro trying to solve your problem.

  • How can i  get data from anather database system  ????????

    Hi every body..
    I 've a problem .....
    I've an old program work on "DOS" and it's content database which content all Data that i need for that program
    The data file extension with ".FD" , ".VW" , ".LSS" & "SLP"

    please describe every thing in details...
    ... Please replay quickly... urgently
    ...waiting your answer....

    You're probably better off consulting the documentation for the DOS program you're trying to deal with than hoping someone here will be able to guess what program you're using, identify the structure of the files, and tell you how to extract the data into something Oracle can import.
