Is there any way to constantly update files from pc to ipad (Over WiFi)?

I use my iPad as a reader. i.e. I work on documents on my PC, then transfer them to my iPad and use those documents for quick reference on the go. Now, the problem is that I have to keep updating/modify the documents on PC. So every time I have to delete the older documents from my iPad and copy the newer ones. Now that's so time consuming.
A one way (PC to iPad) sync is what I need. I know that this can be done with by lot of apps (dropbox, sugarsync, etc.), however they need internet connectivity. I want to transfer/sync over my home network. On android there are lot of apps to do this while I am yet to find a decent one for the iPad. Can anyone please suggest me one or a workaround?

Look at goodreader or DocsToGo. It will sync files from any file servers. Set up a file server on your machine. ie. share a folder from your machine. Read below for more details.
Don't you have the internet at home? So what's the problem with dropbox etc?
How are you copying now?
Some over the air methods.
Windows File server

Configure WebDave on your server.
This thread has good info.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3708341?tstart=0
I'd guess there is a local sync option for business. You just need to find it.
google:
sync ipad file local net
I'll now look for some.
Automatic Synchronization
GoodReader can automatically sync individual files and entire folders to their remote versions hosted on online servers ... also any WebDAV, AFP, SMB, FTP or SFTP server. ( these are folder sharing mechanisims. )
GoodReader not only supports massive PDF and TXT files, but also handles the most popular file types:
MS Office - .doc, .ppt., .xls
iWork ’08/’09
HTML and Safari webarchives
High resolution images
Even audio and video!

Thanks to Texas Mac Man for pointing to this link.
"Quickoffice Connect Mobile Suite and Documents To Go These two apps share an important feature: unlike Numbers, they can open, edit, and save an Excel spreadsheet without stripping out any data or formatting, even though they can’t display or edit all the existing information; spreadsheets can make the round trip from Mac to iPad and back safely, without losing anything."

Is there any way to get the files from other computer ?

Hai all,
I have 2 computers connected. I know the IP address of other computer. Is there any way to get the files from other computer. (for e.g. I want to get the files from specific folder. In Java netwroking is it possible? (Any programs)
regards,
Namanc

Bro Take it easy.
Think you need to send a Image file named ("abc.gif")
now develop a server using ServerSocket and connect it in local IP and any PORT
For example i think ur server is connected in "localhost" and 9000 port.
Now make ur server educated using some commands.
For example:
FileName: <File Name String>
[Means new file is sending by connected client]
FileSize: <File size long or int value>
[ So that ur server can determind about the total length of sender file]
DataModeOpen
[Now your client will send its image data, this command means your client software is sending data]
fjadlkfjaofaijojfwoeiurfodkjflsajlfksa
l23j4lj23lkjlasjfoq23j4rokjelfkjasldkf
2o3j4lk2j3ljslakdjf2l3j4 l23kjlk23k4j
DataModeClose
[Means file sending finished]
Close
[Means your client connection is closed]
Now develop a client supporting this command.
For example(Server):
String getFileName=null;
long getFileSize=0;
public handleCommand(String getCmd) {
    if(getCmd.startsWith("FileName")) {
            String[] splitData=getCmd.split(":");
            this.getFileName=   splitData[1];
            outPutStream.writeBytes("+OK");
    } else if(getCmd.startsWith("FileSize")) {
            String[] splitData=getCmd.split(":");
            this.getFileSize=Long.parseLong(splitData[1]);
            outPutStream.writeBytes("+OK");
    } else if(getCmd.startsWith("DataModeOpen")) {
           //data mode open so receive data
          receiveData();
          outPutStream.writeBytes("+OK");
    } else if(getCmd.startsWith("DataModeClose")) {
          //close client socket
         getClientSocket.close();
}For client:
DataInputStream dataIn=null;
BufferedOutputStream bout=null;
public sendFile(bytes[] getBytes) {
        //if ok found then do other or show error message
    if(sendCmd("FileName:"+getFileName)) {
        if(sendCmd("FileSize:"+getFileSize)) {
            if(sendCmd("DataModeOpen")) {
               bout.write(getBytes);
            } else {
               showError(3);
        } else {
               showError(2);
   } else {
        showError(1);

Is there any way to erase all files from a broken macbook without switching it on??

My macbook air died when I stupidly spilled nail polish remover over the keyboard- this was actually about two years ago and for various reasons I've only just gotten round to figuring out the best way to dispose of it. The problem is that it no longer switches on at all (and doesn't charge either), so I have no way of erasing my files and personal information and I'm just not comfortable recycling it knowing there could still be stuff stored on there. Does anyone know of a way to wipe the memory without switching it on, or have any suggestions for what I can do with it otherwise?

1. Click here and follow the instructions; if you have a different MacBook Air model, see the links at the bottom of that page.
2. Put it in an enclosure(any large enough computer store should have them) and erase it, or just keep the drive.

Is there any way to transfer music files FROM your ipod TO your itunes

what happened was my original computer had itunes with all my music on it and the hard drive crashed. So now, my ipod is my only access to all those songs which were on my old computer. In purchasing a new computer, I was wondering if there is anyway to transfer all those songs from my ipod to my computer via itunes which I just recently installed????
any help would be awesome!!!!

One way would be to use a third party utility, here are a couple:
iPod Agent: http://www.ipodsoft.com/index.php?/software/ipodagent
YamiPod: http://www.yamipod.com/main/modules/home/
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive posted in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=797432#797432

Hey Rich,
It is true that you cannot add more than 250 plots to a 2d-axis graph in the REPORT. One work around is to have the graphs stacked on top of each other and plot 250 to one graph and 250 more to another graph. I am including a TDR (you have to unzip it) file that has 12 2d-axis stacked on top of each other. Most of the properties have been made invisible through the graph properties. You can still see the legends however. One caveat to this is that you will have issues accessing the different graphs. You have to do it from a VBScript. The following line of code worked for me:
Call GraphObjOpen("2DAxis" + Str(NewAxis))
Where NewAxis is a variable that defines which graph I want to look at. You would of course have to loop through the graphs as you add data.
Cheers,

Is there any way to create a file compatible with Premiere Pro

Is there any way to create a file in Premiere elements that is compatible with Premiere Pro and that can be used in Premiere Pro

Consternation
The important information that I do not see mentioned nor offered by you.
1.What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system it is running? What version of Premiere Pro do you want to use?
The Premiere Pro Import Supported Formats seem to indicate that it will accept the Premiere Elements project.prel (project file) on Windows Only.
Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Supported file formats
This may or may not be possible depending on damaged projects or outdated elements.
2. If you want to export your Premiere Elements Timeline to a file saved to the computer hard drive and subsequently import that into your Premiere Pro version, that "should" work. You would go to the Premiere Elements Publish+Share/Computer/ and make a selection based on what the Premiere Pro Import Supported file formats are and what you need. I can help you with that. But, details first.
But, just a "beware"...when you get to Premiere Elements 11 or 12 (if that is the version involved) Publish+Share/Computer/ there are several categories, but all you see is Adobe Flash Video, MPEG, and AVCHD. The rest of the list that includes AVI and QuickTime which both need to be scrolled to all of the time to see them, not just sometimes, with the thin scroll bar to the right of the list of choices. You can export files
with AVI file extension, under Publish+Share/Computer/AVI
with MOV file extension, under Publish + Share/Computer/QuickTime
And, if you do not have QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements, you are not going to have presets for the QuickTime export.
Remember, there is more to an export than just its file extension. Know your other export properties as well.
In many cases, you can customize the export settings to suit your requirements.
Problems will exist if you are trying to go from Premiere Elements Windows to Premiere Pro Mac or vice versa.
I would be glad for the opportunity to help you with this issue, but details are needed.
Looking forward to your follow up.
Thanks.

you can't reverse the process, once you accepted there is no other way, if you sync it to your itunes library in your computer it will automatically update the updated app as well.
What you can try though is delete the app from your iPad and try syncing it to your itunes library but if you set up iCloud it may update the app automatically
