How do I transfer a movie file from my iPad to my MacBook Pro?
I recently accidentally deleted all media files that existed in the iTunes Media folder on my MacBook Pro. I have managed to recover almost every file, the only one I have yet to recover is a movie that was redeemed through iTunes after I purchased it as part of a DVD/Blue-Ray/Digital Copy combo pack. It is no where to be found on my hardrive yet the 'phantom' file still extsts within my iTunes library. After checking all of our family's Apple devices (2 iPhones, 5 iPads, 1 older MacBook, & 1 MacBook Pro) I was delighted to discover the movie still exists on my stepson's iPad Mini! Only now I cannot seem to find a way to 'transfer' this movie file back onto my MacBook Pro. I am refusing to sync or update his iPad Mini in fear that I might loose the only copy of the movie I have left! Can someone please help me transfer this file back to my MacBook Pro? Thanks so much!
This talks about iTunes 10, but it should work the same way in iTunes 11. Transferring purchases for an iDevice to your Mac.
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2554
It should be File>Devices>Transfer Purchases, I think
You must be using the same Apple ID in iTunes on your Mac that your son is using on the Mini or the movie will not transfer. -
ICloud - have two iPads and one Macbook and want to sync reminders on all three
iCloud - have two iPads and one Macbook and want to sync reminders on all three. I have managed to get the Macbook and one iPad to sync, but wjat about the other iPad?
First check that all your settings are correct, that reminders syncing (calendars on a computer) is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the reminders you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by checking in accounts on an iOS device by tapping the icon with three lines in the top left corner of the screen, or the right side panel by clicking on the small triangle to the right of the word 'Reminders' in iCal on a computer), non iCloud reminders will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your reminders are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking reminders syncing (calendars syncing on a computer) in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling notes syncing. -
I seem to have at least two, and maybe four, iCloud accounts, across my iPhone, my iPad and my MacBook Pro. Can I combine them into one iCloud account? I have been able to log into what appears to be three of the four iCloud accounts I have. Two of them seem to be remarkably similar, and one appears to be only for my MacBook.I think I know which one my iPhone is backing up to, as I successfully restored from a back-up last week. The fourth iCloud account I can't access via password or security questions. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Everything is updated!! iPhone, iPad, iTunes and MacBook Pro... All I am trying to do is drag content from my iTunes Library to the devices. iTunes gets stuck EVERY single time! What usually triggers the Non-Sense is when I am adding a 2nd file!
Why does iTunes SUCK??
1) Many items greyed out in the menu bar, for well over 2 years, maybe more!
2) I Can't drag more than one piece of content from your iTunes library to any device (iPhone, iPad)
If you do it gets stuck for HOURS and HOURS in "Preparing To Update" and the little activity circle never completes, ever!!
I used to be able to drag over 1000 tunes, movies, etc. go have breakfast come back and it would all be on my device!!
Can't do it anymore, one song at a time, maybe an album at a time, or one movie, and that is it!!
If you do a 2nd item the other items stop loading and never continue!!
This is so BAD, I don't understand how they don't have this fixed yet!!
Please tell me I am not the only one!!
...and If I am tell me how to fix it!
Very appreciated,

If my iphone, ipad, MAC and macbook pro are all linked, and then I upgrade only my ipone to IOS 7.0, does that have an effect on the linking to my other MAC products. It seems my calendar has lost a lot of information since the upgrade.
If you purchased Lion for your iMac, just log into the Mac App Store from your MacBook using the Apple ID under which you purchased Lion and go to the Purchases page. You will be able to download and install Lion there.
searching the internet i found a link to upgrtade to 10.7
The only place you get get Lion is from the Mac App Store. If you found some other site, that was an illegal copy and almost certainly tied to someone else's Apple ID and hence unusable by you. If the link was just to the Mac App Store, see above.
As to the problem with synchronization to iCloud, that's not a 10.6 question, so I'd suggest you take up that specific issue in either the Lion or iCloud forums, providing full details, and someone there can probably help you sort things out.

I am working in a school. Last year we had one ipad cart which holds 30 ipads and one macbook for syncing. This year we bought another cart of 30 ipads, but not an extra macbook. Can I sync all 60 ipads to the one macbook computer?
In theory everything that you are saying sounds right to me.
I am not sure at all what the limitations are when using the iPad in education as far as how many iPads can sync to one iTunes account. I am going to take a stab in the dark here and guess that you can sync up to 49 iPads with one Mac and one iTunes account since the device that I found has 49 ports. How's that for an obvious guess?
But seriously, I don't how Apple treats volume licensing with a single iTunes account in education. You were using 30 iPads this past school year so we know that's not a problem. The device that I found has 49 ports so we assume that 49 iPads are OK as well. You would have to check with Apple as to what the limitations/rules arefor using a single iTunes account.
There has to be a way to sync as many iPads as you have students in those classes or the iPad in education would not be a viable option. What I don't know about is how you go about paying for that volume license or how it is implemented.
For personal use, you can use up to 10 devices with a single Apple ID/iTunes account. No more than 5 of those devices can be computers. -
How to transfer songs from an iPad onto a MacBook Pro?
Hi,
So I recently purchased a MacBook Pro. Before that though, I had a windows laptop and an iPad mini. The iPad mini was synced to the windows laptop, which broke. I then set up an iTunes account for my Mac with the same apple ID as I'd previously used, and made purchases on the iTunes Store on my Mac.
Basically, I am now stuck with my songs which I had on my iPad before purchasing the Mac which I cannot get onto my Mac and I am stuck with purchases on my MacBook which I cannot transfer to my iPad. I have not synced my iPad to the library yet, although I have authorised the MacBook. Some of the songs on my iPad were not purchased on the iTunes Store either, but I do not want to lose them.
Any ideas on how to sync my iPad with my MacBook without losing anything?
Thanks!Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself independently backed up against loss. To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Media syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer. iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.

How do I transfer audiomemos on ipad to my macbook pro
I have been using audiomemo vs 3.1.7 on ipad. trying to sync or transfer my audio records to macbook pro. Tried in itunes but cannot find a way to transfer over.
I'm sorry did not work. When I attach my ipad to MacBook Pro-iTunes is open.
1st iPhoto pops up and does its loading. It recognizes my device on left col but there no tab to select music. This only shows my photos & some videos I made as I look around in iPhoto.
iTunes is open. So i select music (from a drop down)
No where is there a way to check "include voice memos"
I looked all around still could not find that selection!
I even selected Apps from drop down scrolled down to bottom - nada.
I hope I am making it clear what I see & happens is not same as you - any help is appreciated I need those audio memos downloaded from my ipad to my MacBook they are too large to email. Thanks -
Only one of my earbuds on my bose headphones works with my ipad, iphone and macbook- if I hold them there the right earbud will work, but for the life of me, I can't get them to both work. Why is this? And is Apple doing anything about this? While Apple's headphones have (finally) admittedly gotten better of late, I still prefer the much more comfortable headphones & sound quality that Bose makes and that I spent the money for.

How can i transfer my music files from iPad 2 to MacBook Pro?
hello,
I got my mp3 files from PC and transfer to iPad 2. it works good.
And I want to transfer this mp3 files from iPad to MacBook Pro.
I don't know how to do it and it seems like I should 'buy some tranfer program from other website'.
Should it word that way? or iTunes program can't deal this issue?
I have changed some music file information (such as Album, Artist, etc) of mp3 files in iPad from iTune in MacBook. Of course, the iPad was connected to the MacBook. However after I disconnected the iPad from the Mac, those changes were not shown in the iPad (edited album name, artist name...). When I connect the iPad to the Mac again, I can see the changes in iTune in the Mac.
Another issue.
Does Anybody know how to set calendar from Japanese calendar to Gregorian calendar in iPad 2? When I setup the iPad first time, I might choose wrong calendar but I can't change/see the calendar option from iPad settings...
I have been used PC for 20 years but to transfer myself to Apple, it's not easy....
Issue 1 - music file transfer from iPad 2 to MacBook Pro
Issue 2 - music file info udate in iPad 2 through MacBook and it doen's implied after disconnected.
Issue 3 - Change calendar from Japanese to Gregorian in iPad 2
Please advise,
Have a great day!!
BrandonA free app that can deal with music files is Songbird.
There are two paid apps that can transfer just about any type of file; TouchCopy and PhoneView -
How to update managed iPads (COMPLETE)
Here is my very short summary of what needs to be done to update the apps and iOS on managed iPads in the mobile cart. As you can see, this is very brief and concise, and you can do the update process in just a few minutes each day.
Ha hah ha, that was a good joke, eh?
No, the truth is that you must be prepared to be frustrated and annoyed, wasting possibly hours of your time on this learning the process, and finding this all to be way too complicated and difficult and annoying.
Updating the supervised iPads one at a time, is only just slightly less difficult than updating all of them, all at once, in parallel using the USB hubs in the cart.
Sorry, but there doesn't seem to be any simpler way to do this. This is what all schools that use managed iPads have to deal with.
The iMac admin account is "@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@"
I have set the admin account password to "###########"
Please inform me of any password changes.
1. System software / iTunes / QuickTime update:
Turn on Mac, logon as administrator
Go to the Apple menu (top left corner)
Choose "Software update…"
Install any updates it finds, restart the computer if needed.
2. Apple Configurator (iPad manager) update
Go to the Apple menu (top left corner)
Choose "App Store…"
Look across top of window, far right says "Updates"
If there is a number next to it, click on Update, then click the Update button.
App Store update account: @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Password: #######################
Restart computer if needed.
3. Updates for iPad Apps
On the dock (move mouse to bottom center of screen)
Run iTunes
Select Library -> Apps on left side
In dark gray band below app icons, look for a message like "Updates available"
If yes, click arrow next to updates message.
Top right of window, select "Download all free updates"
Quit iTunes
4. Updates for iPad iOS (operating system)
On the dock (move mouse to bottom center of screen)
Run Apple Configurator
At top of window choose Supervise
In left column select "Cart - 30 iPads"
"All iPads (xx)" should be shown in middle column
In right column "Settings" should be highlighted already next to iOS.
Click button "Check for Update"
5. Updates for Apple Configurator iPad Apps
(Should do this section if any updates were downloaded in iTunes)
Continuing from section #4 above:
In right column click on "Apps"
Click on + at bottom of Apps list. A file browser window appears.
At top of file browser window, 4th item from left should be selected, for "List view with details"
The "Date modified" column should be highlighted. If not, click on it.
Under "Mobile Applications" click on top program name in list, note in modified column it says "Today"
Scroll down until you find the last item updated "Today"
Hold down the Shift key and click on the last item. That and everything above is now selected.
Click Open button on window
Logon with management account:
U: **************************
P: ##########################
In bottom left corner it will say "Updating…"
For every program that was updated, a window will pop up that says "Item exists, do you want to replace it?" and you have to keep clicking Update over and over and over until all the Updates are done.
The Update button moves around depending on window size, so you can't just leave the mouse in one spot to hit all the Replace buttons.
Click the Apply button at the bottom center of the Apple Configurator window
6. Updating all the supervised iPads at once
You are now ready to connect the iPads and Apple Configurator will automatically install the latest iOS version, and the latest iPad app versions.
If Apple Configurator is not already running:
- On the dock (move mouse to bottom center of screen)
- Run Apple Configurator
- At top of window choose Supervise
- In left column select "Cart - 30 iPads"
If the iPad cart has cable trays that can slide, open the back of the cart so they are able to slide backwards. Otherwise if not, make sure there is enough slack to plug in an iPad and insert it backwards with the cable and plug to the rear.
Flip all the iPads over in the cart, so the "top edge" with the power button is exposed. This allows you to power on the iPads during the update, explained in the section below.
On the back of the cart, unplug all iPad cords from the white Apple power bricks, and plug into open ports on the USB hubs
Plug the USB cable from the cart into the back of the iMac
Wait for the iPads to be recognized by the iMac, about a minute or so. They should start to automatically update.
It will take a while for each iPad to download any iOS updates and install apps, maybe 30-45 minutes.
!! UPDATE CAN FAIL IF YOU AREN'T VIGILANT !!
When you see an iPad listed as "restoring backup" (after about 30 minutes), you must check the iPad to see if its screen is black. If it is black, you must reach over and press the power button for that iPad about 2-3 seconds, or the restore will FAIL.
You have to sit there and periodically watch for any iPad that says it is "restoring backup". The iPad shows a spinning timer, then the Apple logo, and the screen goes black. This is where you must manually turn on the iPad, or the process fails and you will have to start over for that iPad.
You have a couple minutes to turn on the iPad after it says "restoring backup", but there is no notification at all when Apple Configurator shifts from "Installing Apps" (30+ min) to "Restoring Backup". So you just have to sit there, and wait, and watch.
Once all the iPads have been updated, you need to unplug all of them from the USB hubs and back into the Apple charging bricks. This is because the USB hubs shut down and will not charge the iPads, if they are not always connected to the iMac, which is in a stationary location in the elementary library.
7. Dealing with passcodes on iPads
Some iPads will inexplicably fail to update, with error messages such as "could not apply policy". These usually have passcodes installed by students.
There is no way to simply remove the passcode and keep on using the iPad. It is necessary to completely erase the device and all data on it, reinstalling the operating system and all programs.
There is no way to disable the passcode or prevent students from setting a passcode.
A partial solution is for me to set a passcode, set the device auto-lock time to never, and staff must unlock the iPads themselves before handing the devices out to students. Students must not be told this passcode, or they can again change it and lock the device.
So, to remove a passcode, first look at the device in the supervised group list. Select it and copy the name of the device to the clipboard, or write it down.
Right click on the device and choose Unsupervise. It will be erased and rebooted, which takes about 30 minutes. It then appears on the leftmost Prepare section for setting up new devices.
Set this device to be Supervised, enter the name you copied previously, tell it to update the iOS, apply the Student security profile, and use the most recent backup (I've added dates to the backup names).
On the Apps tab, select all apps (checkmark next to everything).
Click Apply
Setting up for supervision takes an additional 30-45 minutes, and you will need to wait for it to say "restoring backup", at which point you need to manually power on the iPad as discussed previously, or this whole process fails and you will have to start over.
Yep, that's all it takes! As you can see, it should be a piece of cake to learn to do this, right?Hi TanPart,
I have changed the code which you have give in order to get the files from SharePoint 2010 Foundation Document Library.But i am getting below error in powershell.
Property 'ListItemCollectionPosition' cannot be found on this object; make sure it exists and is settable.
Could you tell me which is the issues in it?
See the code below.
$web = Get-SPWeb http://ntmoss2010:9090/Site
$list = $web.Lists["DocLib"]
$query = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPQuery
$query.ViewAttributes = "Scope='Recursive'";
$query.RowLimit = 2000
$caml = '<Where><Contains><FieldRef Name="Title" /><Value Type="Text">Process Documents/Delivery</Value></Contains></Where>' +
'<OrderBy Override="TRUE"><FieldRef Name="ID"/></OrderBy>'
$query.Query = $caml
do
$listItems = $list.GetItems($query)
$spQuery.ListItemCollectionPosition = $listItems.ListItemCollectionPosition
foreach($item in $listItems)
#Cast to SPListItem to avoid ambiguous overload error
$spItem = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPListItem]$item;
Write-Host $spItem.Title
while ($spQuery.ListItemCollectionPosition -ne $null)
Thanks & Regards

iOS 5 seems to work on my ipad, but apparently something went wrong when restoring. I lost music and movies, and when I connect the ipad to my macbook, I get the message that itunes was interrupted when restoring. I try to restore again and I get the message "An error occurred while restoring this iPad (-50)." What happened and what should I do?
I have had the same issue since day 1 of the ios5 installation. I always hit "Cancel" and then the iPad eventually shows up again in iTunes. Then a few hours later, I get the same message again. Annoying, but I've not found a way around it.
