Is it possible to transfer file wirelessly from pc to ipad(like you do with usb through itune)? not syncing and backup

So basically i want the exact same thing/function of using a usb to transfer file from pc to ipad through itunes but wirelessly? for example i am using kindle and playerxtreme(video app) on ipad air and i have some file i want to add. normally i would connect the ipad and pc through usb and transfer file with itunes but is there anyway where i can use wifi to transfer file with itunes instead of having to use the usb cable?

It is possible if your device runs iOS 5 or newer version and you're using iTunes 10.5 or newer. It's called WiFi sync https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203075
I find it useless because in order to sync, your device must be charging (plugged in). I figure if I have to charge the device (plugged in to the charger) to sync wirelessly, I may as well plug it in to the computer. Sync speed is a lot faster over USB connection anyway.

    Hello tt2
    Been using your Syncstats, working magically.
    However though, when I try to sync the stats of all songs at once - if one song poses a problem - everything stops.
    Is there a way around this?
    Rather than: click "no" (in order to manually sync songs one by one)??
    By the way - this pops up:
    Line: 136. Char:53
    A0040203
    Lines 136 & 137 deal with updating the Last Played and Last Skipped values. I initially suspected the error could be being caused by null values in one of the fields which I didn't encounter in testing, however the same values are accessed previously in lines 129 & 131. Ideally I'd work out exactly what causes the error so I can test for the problem issue rather than throw the error, handle those circumstances in the most sensible way given the aim of the script, and continue to process non-error causing values as is.
    The quick alternative is to ignore the error by placing an On Error Resume Next statement before the possibly probablematic code, and an On Error Goto 0 statement after it to resume normal error handling. I.e.
    On Error Resume Next
    {Ignore errors in this block}
    On Error Goto 0
    Not always a good idea but in this case I suspect "Do nothing" would be the appropiate action in those cases that currently cause an error so I've made that change and posted up the new build of SyncStats. Let me know how you get on.

  • Is it possible to transfer some games from an old iPad to a new one without loosing all the data?

    Is it possible to transfer some gMes from an old iPad to a new one without losing all my game's data?

    yes
    You will need to copy the whole iTunes folder which is in your user profile on the old computer in Music folder.
    Before you do it make sure iTunes are updates on the old computer and it works without any problems.
    This will copy all your media, music, movies (provided you did not change the default location).
    After the migration you will need to sing in to Apple store again with your Apple ID
    and also authorize your new computer (both done from the tom menu bar in Store.
    Once you are done please deauthorize your old computer (the same menu path) if you are not planning to use it anymore.
    Any problems post here.

  • Is it possible to transfer text messages from iPhone to iPad?

    Is it possible to transfer text messages from iPhone to iPad?
    I'd like to backup my text conversations to my iPad from my iPhone 4.
    Is there a way of doing so?
    Thanks

    Not without restoring your iPad from the backup of your iPhone, which will revert all data and settings on your iPad to those contained in this backup, not just text message conversations.

  • Has anyone ever had a problem with their iphone 4 not syncing and/or writing a backup file?

    Has anyone ever had a problem with their iphone 4 not syncing and/or writing a backup file?  Itunes locks up when i attempt a sync as well as when I transfer my purchases from my phone to Itunes. I'm running Itunes 10.4.1 on iOS 4.3.5.  All of this is running on an 8 year old hp pavillian laptop running XP Pro that is fully updated. Could my phone have a bug or a hardware problem. Are there any known problems with  iOS 4.3.5?  Pretty frustrating problem so I'm hoping that someone has heard of this and can offer some suggestions on a solution.  Thanks a bunch.

    Did you used to have service and now suddenly you don't?
    This happened to me a few years back, and several other iPhone users in my neighborhood, and after a while on the phone with AT&T they figured out that a technician had recently adjusted the receiver/sender on the tower and it was slightly off. They sent them back up and I actually had a better signal after than I did before it went out.
    I would call AT&T and explain the issue you are having and see if they can fix it.
    If you never had service there then like wjosten said it's probably just a bad zone.
    Hope you get it sussed out.

  • Can I transfer files wirelessly from PC to Macbook Pro?

    Hi all,
    I'm new to this, so please treat me gently - also, I'll say straight away that I'm not computer savvy, but I love my MacBook Pro.
    I have an old Viao laptop running Windows XP, but the screen broke ages and I want to dispose of the laptop (I had to have it for my studies, but my uni now are able to share their files to Macs).
    When the screen broke, I was able to move quite a few files to mem stick as I could see some of the screen. I would like to move the rest to my MacBook Pro, and then, hopefully, wipe my old laptop, remotely (I know - I don't want much!). So, obviously, my question is, 'Is it possible?', and 'How do I do it?'.
    I charged up the old laptop today, in the hope of my MacBook Pro 'finding' it wirelessly like it did when I transferred files my old Powerbook G4 (that was so easy) before I sold it.
    I'm nervous of altering too many things as I'm disabled, and rely on my Mac for virtually everything. Also, I find having to do, or think too much sometimes, because of my disability, please could you keep instructions low tech, and do-able.
    I look forward to your replies - if you've managed to stay awake through my ramblings, but I've tried to give as much info as I can to enlist your help.
    Thank you

    I have a MacBook pro that has power issues and will not start but the hardrive is fine.  I do not want to lose all of my files so I was wondering if it's possible to transfer my hardrive from a older Macbook pro to a new one if I were to purchase a new one?  Also, the software is not updated as the computer hasn't worked for about 2 months. 
    Also, if it is possible to transfer the hardrive, would my iTunes music transfer as well?  It is not saved in the cloud.
    Thanks for your help, it is much appreciated.

    You computer is probably perfectly repairable, but if you want a new one anyway, it is perfectly possible to transfer the data from the faulty one.
    But it would be a mistake to simply put the old HD in the new computer.
    These are the steps:
    Remove Hard drive from faulty computer. (very easy on Unibody MBPs, do-able but not so easy on older MBPs)
    Put it in a cheap enclosure
    Connect it the new computer
    Boot up new computer.
    If the new computer has never been run before the Setup Assistant will ask if you want to import your apps, data, settings etc from either another mac, another HD connected to the Mac or a Time Machine back up.
    Obviously chose the second option (another HD connected to this Mac) and follow prompts.
    If the new computer has already been run (so Setup Assistant doesn't run when you boot it up), you will need to use Migration Assistant...or run the installer again so that Setup Assistant runs again.

  • I have a Cisco/Linksys WRT-54G wireless router and 2 Airport Extremes (the small ones that plug directly into the wall). Is it possible to extend the network from the router using these two AEs? I have a DVD player and Ext HD plugged into the router too..

    I have a Cisco/Linksys WRT-54G wireless router and 2 Airport Extremes (the small ones that plug directly into the wall). Is it possible to extend the network from the router using these two AEs? I have a DVD player and Ext HD plugged into the router too. Any ideas? I'm guessing the only way is to do what I've seen in these community pages which states that it can be done but it will drop the bandwidth by 50%. Thoughts?? Thanks!

    The Cisco/Linksys WRT-54G was one of the very few routers said to be compatible with Apple's implementation of WDS (Wireless Distribution System) settings.
    The info that I have on file indicates that only the WRT-54G versions 4 and under were compatible, so that would be one bridge to cross.
    Even if you find that your Cisco/Linksys might be the right version, Apple never published instructions on how to configure the Express devices with other manufactures, so users were left to their own devices to try to figure out how to get things working. Apple's instructions to connect to other Apple devices are in the link below:
    WDS network
    If you were hoping to use 2 Express devices in this type of configuration...even if it works...the bandwidth penalties will be extremely severe.
    The first Express drops the bandwidth (and speed) on the entire network in half and the second halves everything again. So, the result, in effect would be a "g" wireless network running at 25% speed. Few users would consider installing this type of network.
    At this point, it becomes one of those things where the fact that you might be able to do something does not mean that there would be much value in doing so. But, it is your decision to decide if you want to try to proceed.

  • Is it possible to transfer music/videos from one itunes account to a separate one?  I need to give my music and videos that I bought a grandchild to her for her ipad.

    Is it possible to transfer music/videos from my itunes account to a grandchild (she will need her own account)  I bought her music and videos and let her play with my ipod touch.  Now she has an ipad.

    No you cannot transfer purchases from one account to another account. Apple does not allow it and never has allowed it.
    She can use you Apple ID on the device and switch between her ID and your ID, but that can cause problems at times and can become a bit of a pain.

  • Is it possible to show a presentation from the original iPad via wireless on an older projector with no HDMI input?

    is it possible to show a presentation from the original iPad via wireless on an older projector with no HDMI input? If so, what equipment is needed?

    The ipad not support wireless projector yet.
    The workaround is you are using computer that connected wirelessly [needs 2 wireless adapter] / via cable to projector and connected also to the wireless router.
    You are controlling the computer via wireless connected to the router using remote desktop app like splashtop, teamviewer, logmein, vnc, etc. You must set the remote desktop port and app at the computer too as ipad app support.

    All content purchased or downloaded via your account is tied to your iTunes account and can't be copied or transferred to other accounts - if it's a good film then I'm sure they won't mind buying their own copy

  • I would like to know the list of possible output (export) file codec from FCP X. For example, can I export  in F4V or FLV format?

    I would like to know the list of possible output (export) file codec from FCP X.  For example, can I export  in FLV format?  Where do I find the list, which gives me all the details about it?  Or is there only one output codec? Thanks

    That's an excellent analogy. While FCP cannot export FLV. It is possible to do a very simple substitution. If you export a QuickTime movie using the .mov suffix with the H.264 codec, you can change it to FLV simply by changing the suffix to .flv. This is an acceptable format for Flash movies on most web sites, if that's where you're trying to go.
