Moving files between different devices, help needed.

Hi people, i need some help working this out. I am about to buy a Tablet, it will be my first tablet.
In a few days the iPad 3 comes out and that would be nice, But...I have 2 old PPC macs, both Running on 10.5.8 and an android Phone. I'm guessing that because the iPad doesn't have a micro SD card slot or a proper usb port, getting files from it to all of my other kit is going to be a big pain. I understand that Apple has finally made iOS5 which i'm told is non computer reliant, so in theory, i can buy an iPad, take it home, turn it on, set it up and use it, without having to connect it to a computer with iTunes on it.
I am aware that iPad will come with iCloud, but i'm guessing Apple won't allow any of my kit listed above, to access that except maybe a windows computer. I could use bluetooth?
Is it possible to access files i would store in iCloud from any device, anywhere in the world just by logging in over the internet browser? Or am i going to have to not use iCloud and instead use Google Docs, Dropbox, or some other combination of online storage to move file around, or get a completely diferent tablet.
I'm also concidering an Asus Transformer Prime Tablet plus docking keyboard as that does have a full sized usb port and a micro SD card slot and a full sized SD card slot as well, plus an extra battery.

Yes sorry, i missed a bit out. I would use iCloud from the iPad itself, to backup the iPad so that when it crashes i can restore it, but would have to keep a copy of any files in Dropbox, that i might need to share inter platform. As i tend to keep multi backups anyway coz over the years i've had 2 Hard disk failures and 1 memory stick failure. That approach is not too much hasel. Not as elegant as just using one on line storage area but Hey, Big companies are never going to make their stuff work properly with everyone elses, that would be way too idealic. It was hard enough to get them to use standard file formats.
Thanks again.

  • Moving files between folders is very slow

    Hi, I have an iMac 2011. Processor: 2.7GHz Intel Core i5/ Memory 4GB
    OS X Yosemite, version 10.10.1
    After I change my OS from Mavericks to Yosemite, moving files between folders is very slow.
    For example, if I move one jpg file in Desktop to Pictures folder (or just any other folders like Trash), it takes about 3 seconds.
    When I was still using Mavericks, it made that Ding sound and transferred files right away. However, now, although it makes the Ding sound right away, the file is still there for 3 seconds.
    I tried to clean up my mac using many apps, but they never fixed this problem.
    I've also tried what I saw on this one thread. OS X File Transfers Very Slow
    Go->Connect to Server then type "cifs://server-address" but it says there is a problem and did nothing. (maybe different issue)
    Please help!

    There may be other issues, but you installed the "Genieo" or "InstallMac" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    Besides the files listed in the linked support article, you may also need to remove this file in the same way:
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.ltvbit.plist
    If there are other items with a name that includes "Genieo" or "genieo" alongside any of those you find, remove them as well.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates
    if it's not already checked.

  • I just received an OEM copy of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 with my Canon Pixma Pro 100 Printer.  What exactly is OEM.  Is it a full version?  Can I transfer files between different computers?

    @

    OEM means "Original Equipment Manufacturer", or in your case, Canon (not Adobe) is providing the software. It is identical to what you can buy from Adobe. It is the full version (that's the only version of Lightroom that exists)
    Transfer files between different computers ... this is not a function of Lightroom. Lightroom neither helps nor prevents you from transferring files from one computer to another.

  • HT204053 Can you sync pages files on different devices with different apple ids?

    Can you sync pages files on different devices with different apple ids?  I have a personal iPad and one given to me for work. They are set up with two different apple IDs.  I do all of my lesson plans in pages.  I want to be able to create plans on both devices, but need to know if there is a way to sync the files without emailing, etc.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    No, that's not possible. A better way of working around this than emailing the documents to yourself is to use a third party storage solution such as Dropbox and a webDAV server to upload the documents.

  • LR5 stopped moving files between folders

    Hi everybody,
    I've noticed today that my LR5 stopped moving files between folders, I select files I want to move and drag them over to a new location like I always did before with only difference is now nothing happends, no messages with errors, nothing... I tried to google it and couldn't find anything related to my problem.
    I'm using Windows 8 x64. I checked the permissions on all the photo folders and everything seems to be correct. I also run LR under admin rights, so there shouldn't be any OS related issues... in addition, it was working just fine till today.
    I hope you can at least point me in right direction to dig more info on the problem with my LR5.
    Thx!

  • Error when moving files between Sharepoint sites using 'content and structure' feature

    Hi,
    I am using Sharepoint Online 2013 on a mac computer.
    I am trying to move files between sharepoint sites/libraries but because the "open with explorer" link does not work on mac computers, I need to do so using the 'content and structure' feature.
    When I select a file to move and then select the destination site/doc library, i get the following error:
    An error was encountered performing this operation.
    Operation to Move '120207_Australia Post_Invoice.pdf' to '/Ops/internal/admin/General Admin' failed
    No items were moved. Please remove 120207_Australia Post_Invoice.pdf from the selection and retry operation
    Please help!
    Thanks,
    Kate

    Hi Kate,
    If you mean only one file "120207_Australia Post_Invoice.pdf" could not be moved, please compare this file to the other files moved successfully, check if there are some differences, like the content types, fields.
    Also compare the source library and destination library, make sure they have the the same type of fields.
    And you could have a try of moving this single file separately see if it could help, or as a workaround to download this file from source and upload to the destination library.
    Since it is related to SharePoint Online 2013, we cannot see the ULS log for more information, I would suggest you post this issue in Office365 SharePoint online dedicated forum via the following link for a better assistance.

  • Transfer/ Synchronizing eBooks between different devices

    Hi,
    Currently I have Digital Edition installed on my Win8 Dell Laptop, Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, and Apple iPad 3, and sign in with the same Adobe account. I have downloaded some ACS encrypted eBooks, in both PDF and ePub format. Anybody have any idea on how to trasnfer those eBooks between those devices. From Adobe help I can only find solution on transferring eBooks between PC and eReader, not PC and tablet. I try connect PC and my tablets, while the Digital Edition seems cannot recognize the tablets, thus cannot transfer from PC to tablets. Anybody can help me with these

    Hmmm....  Lemme think......
    A disclaimer: I'm an old fart who's been working with computers since the
    stone age (1967).  Some things change - some do not, regardless of the
    technology.  And my experience with ADE and ebook readers is limited to what
    I've been doing since the beginning of this year.  So, what I can tell you
    is more theoretical than experience....  With that in mind:
    Ebooks may simulate real books, but that doesn't mean you can do the same
    things with them.  Once you download a book to a particular device (PC, MAC
    or ereader), the computer and the software register it according to the
    'tags' created by the publisher.  You can see those tags if you click on the
    very tiny drop-down box in the upper left corner of the book's cover in
    Library view.  Click on 'Item Info'.  You'll see the permissions the
    publisher has set up, such as reading on devices, copying and printing.  If
    you can copy the book, then you could use PC or MAC tools to copy it to a
    thumb drive, then take it to the other computer and download it into their
    ADE library, making sure it goes in the same folder name on the other
    computer.  If the publisher doesn't allow copying, there are electronic
    'tags' built into the file on your computer that will not let the book be
    opened on any other computer.  And that sounds like what's happening to
    you.
    Short of buying their own copy, the only solution I can think of is sharing
    the computer....  Sorry!

  • Moving files between computers

    Hello, friends, can anyone plz advice me how best to move a file from one Mac to another? I thinkin there must be some kind of cable I could purchase for this. I want to move a one hour IMovie 6 movie to a larger Mac to burn on IDVD. After 20 continous hours of attempting to burn it on my smaller Mac, I gave up the ship and force quit IDVD. The small Mac Book 2.1 say I have 14 gb available in IMovie for this job whereas the larger, newer Mac has 115 gb! This must be the best way to go!?
    Thanks a ton and a half!
    chadcherty

    It's actually very easy, all you need is a single FireWire cable. Here are the instructions right from the Mac's Help menu:
    Transferring files between two computers using FireWire
    You can use FireWire to connect your computer to another Mac and have one of the computers appear as an external hard disk on the other computer. This is sometimes called Target Disk Mode.
    To transfer files using FireWire:
    Shut down the first computer and leave the second computer on.
    Connect the two computers using a 6-pin to 6-pin FireWire cable. (If both computers have higher-speed FireWire 800 ports in addition to the standard FireWire 400 ports, you can use a 9-pin to 9-pin cable with the FireWire 800 ports to transfer data at higher speeds.)
    Open System Preferences, click the Startup Disk, and click Target Disk Mode. (Or, start up the first computer while holding down the T key.) A disk icon for the first computer appears on the desktop on the second computer. Drag files to and from the disk to transfer them.
    When you finish, eject the first computer's disk by dragging its icon to the Trash. (While you drag, the Trash icon changes to an Eject icon.)
    Push the power button on the first computer to shut it down and disconnect the FireWire cable.
    If the computer to which you connect your computer is running Mac OS 9, it must have FireWire version 2.3.3 or later installed. Use Apple System Profiler (located in /Applications/Utilities) to check the version of FireWire installed. If it has an older version, get an update at the Apple FireWire website at www.apple.com/firewire.

  • Moving files between storages

    I move file between storages using mv command. After completed the new file was created but the space does not freed.
    This not happen before. Can anybody help me.

    usually the case where the file you are movng is open by another process, and cant complete the move. When the process that has the file open dies, or when you reboot, the operation should complete.
    run a 'fuser' on the file you moved, and see whats got it open.

  • How can i transfer the xml files between different systems?

    hello
    the appearance of xml enable the inter-communication between differences systems.but
    i don't know how,such as following scinario:
    in the client side,we use the console that is written by using c#,if i finish
    filling the text boxes that are within the console,click the submit button,the
    console will generate a xml format document.i want the other application that
    is written by using jsp and servlet and deployed in weblogic server to receive
    the xml document,then process the document.
    but i don't know how i can transfer the xml files between the two applications
    that is written in different languages? can i use http protocol?
    thanks for any helps!

    Yes, you can use the HTTP protocol as a transport for the XML message, this
    is basically what the HTTP binding for SOAP does. The key is using a
    packaging mechanism that different applications will understand, otherwise
    only your own applications will know how to extract and process the XML
    messages you send between them.

  • Moving files between iphone and pc

    hi
    haw can i move files between iphone and pc, and haw can i explore file and folders tree in iphone ?
    do i need to install a third party software ? which one ?
    thank you

    You can't browse the iPhone's filesystem and directly move file to/from the phone. There obviously is some software anywhere out there capable of doing this.
    However, these are Apple's forums, and as breaking the phone and using third party software is at this point of time not allowed, you should not ask here about this software.

    By default the Job Accounting plugin is installed by the Kyocera installer. So you don't need to enable it, you just need to select the Job Accounting menu in the print dialog. To see this menu, in many Apple applications you must have the print dialog set to Show Details. Then you can change the menu to Job Accounting as shown below.
