Is there a way to file share between an iMac and iPad?

I'm curious as to whether or not you can file share between an iPad and an iMac. The main reason would be in case my wife or I were working on something on the iMac downstairs, we could "pull it up" on the iPad upstairs without having to sync it with the cable....or perhaps I'm just lazy...

check out FileBrowser.
another option may be Dropbox.

HT4783 Why can I not airdrop between my iMac and iPad Air?

Is there a way to airdrop between my iMac and iPad Air?

AirDrop uses different systems to transfer data in iDevices and Macs, so you cannot use AirDrop between an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad and a Mac. If you want this feature, send the idea to Apple > http://www.apple.com/feedback
Instead, there are other ways to transfer data between the Mac and your iPad, like Dropbox, or use iTunes.

Cannot file share between MacBook Pro and iMac, but can Screen Share fine.

Hi all,
Very strange problem going at the minute!
I can Screen Share both ways (iMac - MBP and MBP - iMac) just fine but can't seem to File Share between either computer. They are both on the same network and both have the exact same settings under SysPrefs. I can see both devices in a Finder window and can click the 'Connect As...' button, but once I've put in my credentials, the message in the Finder window changes from 'Connecting...' to 'Connection Failed' in a matter of seconds.
Both have AFP switched on and neither has the Firewall enabled. I also cannot FTP between either computer via 'Connect to Server...', but I can utilise iTunes Home Sharing perfectly.
I've tried pretty much everything I can find on the WWW, but nothing's worked! Help!
Thanks!

Hi, thanks for your help!
I think I've solved the problem now (at long last!).
Somehow, my sharing permissions on my Home folder on either computer won't allow me access. I've tried repairing permissions multiple times, but to no avail.
I've solved the problem by sharing my Macintosh HD, rather than my individual Home folder and I can access everything as normal now.

HT4557 Sharing music between home iMac and iPad

Hi,
i have turned on Home Sharing on my iMac and iPad but I cannot see the More option leading to the Shared option in my iTunes. Any suggestions?
Thanks

First of all - The More button is in the Music App at the bottom of the screen - not in iTunes.
Launch iTunes on the Mac and go to iTunes>Preferences>Sharing. Do you have Share Library on Local Network selected?
In the iPad settings go to Music>Apple ID. Are you signed in?

Synching between iPhone imac and iPad

Have a weird issue. Normally when I plug the iphone or iPad2 into the iMac the sych started automatically. This morning I have done the same as usual and nada...it still makes that cute little trill when you plug the two toegether but thats it......when I open the sync app manually the devices are not there and if I try to find them they do not show up.......I even downloaded updates uncase something was wrong there. Last time I synched was about a month ago. The only thing I have done otherwise between teh iphone and the imac is to use image capture to transfer photos fromteh phone to the iMac.....

Launch iTunes.
From the menu bar click iTunes / Preferences then select the Devices tab.
Deselect: Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically then click OK.
when I open the sync app manually the devices are not there and if I try to find them they do not show up.
Should be recognized under Devices left side of the iTunes window in the source list.
Try here > iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

How to file share between my Quad and 2.5DP

I installed Leopard on the guinea pig G5 2.5 DP. I have 10.4.9 on the Quad.
Both non intel.
Would someone be kind enough patient and in simple terms teach me how to finally after all these years, allow files to be shared ( tiffs, jpgs etc ) from one to the other. They are each connected into a LYNKSYS ethernet hub.
is this possible to do?
if so please tell me how
i remember them telling me that i need to have permission to do so.
how is this all accomplished and is the task easy enough to be done in a short amount of time
thanks

Syncing project files/paths between an iMac and Macbook Pro

I work in music production and am looking to purchase a new iMac. However, I'm on the road about 30% of the time, and need to continue to work on in-progress projects on my Macbook Pro. So I need my project files, and all the associated files (plugins, WAVs, soundbanks, etc) to exist in sync on both computers with idential paths.
Basically I'm looking for the easiest way to create and make edits to a project on my desktop, be able to access/edit that project on my laptop when I'm travelling, and have all the changes I made on the road back on the desktop when I return.
Thanks in advance for any help!

You need to do three things:
Set up a way to find your desktop computer when you're on the road
Establish a network connection to the desktop
Send changed files over the network
There's more than one way to meet each of these requirements. This is only an example.
1 and 2 are most easily accomplished using the "Back to My Mac" feature of iCloud. You then need to enable Remote Login (SSH) on the desktop, and follow the instructions linked below to connect to it:
Remote SSH using Back To My Mac
If you have a static external IP address for the network the desktop is on, you don't necessarily need "Back to My Mac."
For 3, you can use the Unison File Synchronizer. It's free and works well, but it's not easy to configure. See the documentation for details.

Is there any way to send messages to other iPods and iPads?

I have 2 iPads 2 iPods and an iPhone, and in am wondering if there is any way I can message any f these devices so I can talk to my children that are using my ther devices?

you do not need different apple ID's but you do need different 'received at' address set up in settings
i run several different devices, all under the same ID,and can direct a message or face time to which ever receive at address I want. Note, devices can have and will respond to multiple receive at addresses.

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.

Hello,
see Creative Cloud/Common Questions >>> http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/faq.html >>> Can I use the software I download from Creative Cloud on more than one machine? >>> Yes. Creative Cloud desktop applications can be downloaded and installed on multiple computers, regardless of operating system. However, activation is limited to two machines per individual associated with the membership. See the terms of use for more information. Learn how to deactivate a Creative Cloud license on a machine.
And as an additional information you should have a look there: Error "Activation limit reached" or "Sign in failed" | Adobe products >>> These errors occur if you try to use the application on too many computers.

Share iMovie project between iMac and iPad?

Is it possible to share and continue a iMovie project between a iMac and iPad?
Or the share is only possible between iOS devices?

In general the simplest way would be to store the document in iCloud, and use iCloud to access the document from both your iMac and iPad.
But your post above says you're running Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6.4). Snow Leopard is now two years old. I'm not sure it supports iCloud.

Your are likely to find running two different AppleIDs on the same device to be more trouble than it is worth. Apps and content cannot be shared between IDs.
