Is there a way to exchange files between an iPhone and a mac?

Hi there,
I know the iPhone does not support bluetooth (legally), but is there a way I can share files between the phone and a macbook NOT connected to the internet?
What I need to do is the following: I use the phone for work (bad choice, I know...) and need to be able to access e-mail and send files out. I am going to be away for a couple of weeks (I am based in the UK and going to Italy) and was thinking to use the phone for e-mailing (megabucks!!!) and the macbook to do some work that will need to be subsequently e-mailed, but as the iPhone does not support (legally at least) bluetooth, is there a way to load files onto the phone? I mean, it doesn't sound like rocket science.
I have to say, I am overall very disappointed with the iPhone as a tool to work with. Great for games, etc., but not for work. I am really tempted to toss it in the trash (or at least return it where I got it from).
I hope you can give me some good news here...
Besides as a general observation, I have been spending HOURS scouring the internet trying to find solutions to some basic issues I have with the iPhone... A piece of kit that is as expensive as all that should not be so difficult to use especially if all I am trying to get what would be considered a common feature in all bog standard phones, but that's another story... At least I have the digital compass and I can check stocks and shares to make me feel better...
Thanks

I guess I'm confused then. DocsToGo and AirShare Pro both allow you to set up an adhoc network (direct wifi-based connection between the laptop and your iPhone, no wifi router/cell data connection required). You can then pass the documents back and forth between the two devices. I prefer DocsToGo, because it also allows you to edit/sync the docs back and forth. Is this not what you want to do? You can also email the document from within DocsToGo on the iPhone if desired.
If you want to upload/download using a service like DropBox (which will also require a data connection, either WiFi or cell-based) DocsToGo can access that cloud-based service.
Note that I'm NOT affiliated with DocsToGo, but I did read the instructions to find out all the stuff it can do

Can I sync PDF files between my iPhone and iPad?

Can I sync PDF files between my iPhone and iPad?

Yes, and we will have integration with our Mobile Readers as well. We've already submitted to Apple for review, and will be live once they complete their review and approval.
With this, we'll allow you to share files pretty easily between Desktop, Tablet and Phone across all OSes...and when you make changes, we'll automatically bring them to and from your phone/tablet! Pretty cool.

HT4783 why can't airdrop work between iOS (iphone) and OSX (Mac Computers)?

why can't airdrop work between iOS (iphone) and OSX (Mac Computers)?

NNot sure if anyone help you resolve this or if it works with Mavericks but with Yosemite I couldn't send From iPhone 5 or iPad mini 2 because my Macbook Pro wasn't able to be seen via AirDrop. After a grueling 4 hours with support and factory resets of both devices I was transferred to the CPU Support team, which resolved my issue in about 3 mins. Needless to say I wasn't happy but figured I should help anyone else in the same boat as me. I have both devices operating on iOS 8 and MacBook pro rubbing Yosemite.
1. Open Finder Window -> Airdrop -> Change setting for "Allow me to be discovered by:" to no one and close the finder window.
2. Go To Apple Logo -> Force Quit -> Select Finder from App List -> Force Quit.
3. Open Finder Window -> Airdrop -> Change setting for "Allow me to be discovered by:" to everyone and try to send file from iPad / iPhone to computer.
This process allowed the computer to be seen / recornized on the iOS deVice. Hope this helps.

Does anyone know of a simple to do list app that syncs between an iPhone and a Mac?

Does anyone know of a simple to do list app that syncs between an iPhone and a Mac?

Not sure exactly what you are going for...
You're aware you need to use iTunes to sync apps between your iPhone and Mac unless you are running V10.7.2 and have iCloud setup.
BTW... apps that are optimized for an iPhone will not run on the Mac OS X and vice versai, two different operating systems.
It really helps to tell us which Mac OS X you have installed when you post for help. Thanks!

If my 14-day grace period has long passed, is there any way to exchange my Black/Graphite iPhone 6 for a White iPhone 6 of the same capacity?

Is there a way to exchange an iPhone 6 for one of a different color? If so, what is the fee for that?

djslank,
We want you to be happy with all aspects of your phone. If you are beyond the 14 day exchange period, you do have the option to trade in your device and use the trade in value towards the purchase of the phone color you prefer. Click for trade in values www.trade-in.vzw.com. When looking at the purchase price of the phone you would prefer, since you will not have an upgrade available, you will want to view the full retail cost.

Is there a way to pass files to a LV app in Mac OS X?

There is an option in the Finder in Mac OS X to open files with the specified application. I tried it with my LV app, but unfortunately I haven't found any way to read out the filename passed to the app.
(The Application/Command Line Arguments Property didn't work in this case.)
Has anyone ever tried to pass files to a LV app in Mac OS X? I mean not in the command line but in the Finder.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
When I understand this right - and as I am not so much of a MAC Expert - you want to do the following:
1. You are in a file finder, where you can click on files an select: "open with ProgrammXY"
2. That ProgrammXY should be a LabVIEW App you created that can open files for Analysis.
3. The LabVIEW App catches from somewhere the path-string and name of the file that was selected to be opened with your LabVIEWApp, like from some
kind of property node or function.
4. How to do that?
I do not think that is possible, at least I do not know a way to do that in Windows so I doubt there is a way to do that in MAC OS.
<<Anyway, it could even be an empty App, the main question is if it is even possible to get the filename in a LV App if we open it in Finder.
When you cannot configure the Finder in a way so that he writes the file name as a command line parameter in the opening call .- exuse me if that is not MAC vocabulary - I do not see a way how to do this.

Can i blue tooth exchange files between a macbkpro and a pc laptop?

hi
i have a mac book pro which bluetooth file exchange with my nokia mobile phone ok....when i try to link to a pc laptop and do so....doesnt communicate..they both see each other and the mac even generated a bluetooth pin code but alas they still dont exhange.....i am trying something thats impossible?

Other than the physical external formatting, you might want to plan your Assets, so that you have the greatest compatibility between the two platforms, also. Some .MOV CODEC's can cause PrPro problems on the PC side of the street, though in general I have few problems with the ones that I get from most Macs. Same can be true for .AVI's on the Mac side.
I've swapped Projects from Mac's to my PC with no issues to date. Only hangup was the FAT-32 format for the external, because of the Mac compatibility (what Curt pointed out). File sizes have to be kept down due to that. Do not know if the newer Mac OS's can read NTSF, but I do not think so. To overcome this, you should be able to get MacDrive for the PC and use a more efficient formatting than FAT-32. I'd check into this, as a 4GB file limit comes up quickly.
In my case, I just plugged the Mac's external and copied the whole Project & media, to my 2TB NTSF externals and didn't have any problems. Never even needed MacDrive.
Good luck,
Hunt

Is there any way of improving compatibility between ipad 4 and windows xp p

is there any way of improving compatibility beween ipad and windows xp

Hi Smokey0422,
Although iTunes works with Windows XP, iCloud is not supported - so that does limit the functionality somewhat.
See the resources for your iPad at the following site:

See the setup instructions below:

Is there any way to share music between two iPhones ?

I want to share music between two iPhones with different apple IDs , isn't there any method to do that without itunes ?

In general, the catalog that is open when you do Export As Catalog is where the settings are, and the catalog that is open when you do Import From Catalog is where the settings aren't, yet, but will be after the Import. Your assumptions appear to be correct for your particular example.

How can I transfer files between a PC and a Mac NOT on the same network?

I have an iCloud account, a Time Capsule and a Seagate Free Agent portable hard drive. Which ways can I transfer files (any or all three?) and how? Here's my dilemma: I'm a graphic designer and I work on a PC at my office. At home I use my MacBook Pro...same programs, save files. However, I had trouble earlier saving my new documents onto the Free Agent from my MacBook Pro as the Free Agent was Read Only and original files on it were from the PC. The PC is not on my Time Capsule network and not accessible or even close to my MacBook. I simply want to be able to save the files I updated/changed on my Mac to somewhere that I can access them later from that PC...right now they are saved to my Documents folder. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Format the external drive as FAT32 or ExFAT. Both computers will then be able to read and write to it.

HT4528 I currently use Verizon and have a Blackberry with an unlimited data plan. Is there a way I can buy an unlocked iphone and keep my unlimited data plan bypassing Verizon's requirement to get a new plan with a 2 year committment?

Is there a way to purchase a new iPhone and to continue my unlimited data plan without having to sign a new 2 year committment and new plan with Verizon?

You don't buy an unlocked phone. You buy a Verizon iPhone at full retail. I just did this myself last month. I paid full retail for the phone and activated it on my plan. This allowed me to get a new phone before I was eligible to upgrade and keep my unlimited data. I also got a good deal on trading in my iPhone 5.
You can buy the phone through Verizon or through Apple. If you buy it through Apple, I'd suggest that you not have them activated but do that yourself by logging into your account on your computer.
Best of luck.

Is there a way to transfer files from my Ipad to a Mac Mini?

The Migration Assistant didn't work, and neither did the sharing, so I'm down to downloading files from the Ipad. I really don't want to transfer files with a flash drive, because it would take hours

The files got to the Ipad from my PC running itunes. I've been using the USB cable to sync . I wasn't able to move anything from the PC (Win 7) to the Mac Mini, so I was wondering if there was some way to sync the empty itunes on the mini with the files on the Ipad. Thanks.

Is there a way to limit Facebook use on iPhone and iPad?

I use "Stayfocused" on my Macbook, but it's a Google Chrome extension and Chrome isn't supported for mobile platforms.
Likewise with "Leechblock", a Firefox extension. Good for Macbook, but apparently not supported for iPad/ iPhone.
I can't find any apps in the store that limit Facebook.
Surely there must be something I'm missing? I imagine I'm not the only one searching for something like this. There seem to be dozens of versions of this idea available for desktop computer, but it seems a bit pointless if you can circumvent them by just picking up the phone or iPad. Any tips gratefully appreciated!

Because apps on iOS devices are isolated from one another ("sandboxed") such an app would not be possible.
I recommend "SelfControl". It takes a little while to learn to use but it works on any platform.
