Sharing apps between iPad and macbook

Hi:
I have an Ipad, and I had pages and numbers app installed. Just bougth a Macbook pro
how do I share the apps from Ipad to Macbook?
thanks.

You can copy the apps from the iPad to your Mac's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases, and you can copy documents to/from those apps and your Mac, but if you want to use Pages and Numbers on your Mac then you will need to buy the Mac OS X versions of them from the Mac App Store - the versions that you have on your iPad (iOS) can't be used on a Mac (OS X), they are different operating systems.

Sharing photos between IPad and MacBook Air

Hi
How can i import some photos recorded into my IPad and save them into my MacBook Air? I mean, how can i share photos between those equipment?
Thanks
Jorge

The simplest and most efficient way would be to use Photo Stream as described here:

Photos on your iPad will immediately appear on your MacBook Air in iPhoto -- as long as your MacBook Air is reasonably recent and OS X and iPhoto are current.

Sharing apps between ipad and ipod

My daughter downloads apps on her ipod and then they get uploaded to my ipad because we share an itunes acct. I don't mind sharing pics and music, but the apps of a teenager are sensory overload for me. Any suggestions on how the apps can be uploaded to her ipod and not my ipad.

If they are being automatically downloaded to the iPad from the store then you can turn that off via Settings > Store > Apps 'off'.
If they are installed when you connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes, then with the iPad connected to and selected on the left-hand side of the your computer's iTunes, select the Apps tab on the right-hand side and make sure that the 'automatically sync new apps' tickbox below the listbox of apps is unticked.

HT1296 Is the numbers app compatible between ipad and macbook for syncing?

Is the numbers app compatible between ipad and macbook for syncing?

I think i have found how to solve the problem. I went into address book preferences and i noticed i didn't have icloud enabled here. As long as i use icloud contacts rather than 'on my mac' contacts it now seems to delete and add across the 2 devices. Many thanks

Pages and Numbers not sync between ipad and macbook pro. icloud problem?

My Pages and Numbers are stopped synchronizing via icloud between ipad and macbook pro. Everytime I edit something to Pages or Numbers on my ipad, my ipad failed to upload the edited version to icloud. what happened?

I have a slightly different problem with Numbers and Pages failing to sync between a Macbook and iPad via iCloud. I have checked all the obvious settings. I think the problem may be that the Macbook username is my email address, whereas the iPad username is my wife's email address. However, both addresses are named alibis for exactly the same email address from our internet provider – eg we get the same emails, despite appearing to have different addresses. So I don't understand why the iPad cannot pick up Numbers or Pages files that have been opened and saved in iCloud on my Macbook. Other apps, such as iCal, sync perfectly, but i guess they don't use iCloud. Any help appreciated!
(We have tried emailing Numbers files to the iPad, but that is very slow and innefective.)

Pages won't sync between iPad and Macbook

I cannot get my pages to sync between iPad and Macbook.
I regularly go back and forth between the two because it's easier to read/edit on iPad and easier to type/copy-paste web info on Macbook.
I'm finding right now that I have done a multitude of edits on my iPad that are not showing up at all when I open the same document on my Macbook.
I have closed the document on my iPad so I expected there to be no problems when I opened it on my Macbook.
Not sure why or what to do....?

I had this issue too - I have been playing around with it for a few days - turns out you need to save the documents on your mac not under "documents" but rather under "Pages - iCloud" (or "Keynote - iCloud" etc.). After doing this, the document appears on my phone, iPad, iCloud.com etc. with the changes.
One way to do this is by clicking the dropdown arrow (it shows up when you mouse over the title) to the right of the title of your document on the grey title bar (the thing at the top of the page - above insert, table, chart etc.) and then editing the "where" column.
Hope this helps! If it isn't clear enough, please let me know!

ICloud not pushing apps between iPad and iPhone what am I doing wrong

I have a new iPad2 and a new iPhone4. I put iOS5 on both of them. My understanding of this was when you purchased an app on one device it would push to your other devices. I did this and the apps do not push to my other device. I use the same Apple ID for both if that matters. I set up iCloud on both devices, turned everything "on" and created an @me account. What am I doing wrong? Thank you in advance for any help...feeling like an iDiot

I believe you are misunderstanding. You don't sync apps between iPad and iPhone, and iCloud has nothing to do with any of this. There is a setting in Settings -> Store where you can set each device to automatically download NEW apps, meaning that when you buy a new app on one device, the other automatically downloads it. However, this is for new downloads only.
For your existing apps, you can simply connect each device to your computer and move the desired apps to it in iTunes. Or you can go to the App Store and re-download those apps.

How to synch calendars between iPad and MacBook Pro?

How do I synch calendars between iPad and MacBook Pro?

Thank you for your help. However, I still have no connection; could it be that the laptop is signed in through my account and the iPad through my wife's?
If so, must I delete her iCloud account and reestablish it as mine?
Thank you

Sync documents between iPad and MacBook

I want to be able to edit Pages documents on my iPad and MacBook, and have sync from one to the other. I'm no having success with either the iCloud or Dropbox. When I make changes on the iPad, they don't seem to get reflected on the MacBook. Any suggestions?

I believe that Pages on the Mac does not support iCloud yet.

Sharing apps between ipas and ipad mini

can i share apps and their contents between an ipad and an ipad mini?

No. You can sync Apps by using the Same apple ID on both devices. But the Apps contents remains on the device unless it has a specific feature that backs up to the cloud or something similar that can then be retrieved on the other device.

Help me understand how to move pdf's between iPad and MacBook.

I use the iPad 2 as a electronic reader of research articles. When reviewing this material I desire to keep the annotations I make to the pdf via the PDFReader app. I review enough material that I need the MacBook as a storage space. But I haven't been able to figure out how to move pdf's that I've made annotations to, to the MacBook while maintaining the annontations I've made. These annotations are maintained while the file is stored on the iPad.
It seems as though for files not generated by Numbers, Keynote, or Pages the iCloud sharing of files between devices is a bit of a gimmick. I'm using Mountain Lion and iOS 5.1.1. Suggestions???

Yes, if you drag from the iPhoto Window to the desktop you’re getting the current (edited) version of the pic. You’re also missing any added metadata, such as keywords etc.
Yes, when you import to the other library you are missing the original file too.
The only way to move pics/albums/Events (including metadata) between Libraries (and all versions) is with iPhoto Library Manager.

How do i sync emails between iPad and Macbook Pro

I have the iiPad2 with WiFi. I remember that I used iSync in the past between my Macbook and desktop unit. I also am signed up with me.com. Can anybody please advise me what's the best way to sync my emails? I use Apple's mail program. Thanks.

iSync has never synced email or anything between Macs.
To sync email you need to set your account up as IMAP (not POP3) on your iPad and Mac.
If you are using your MobileMe email address and have configured your MobileMe account on both Mac and iPad, then your email is automatically in sync.

FAcetime between iPad and MacBook

I cannot establish a FaceTime connection between my iPad mini and MacBook Air. Keeps dropping instantly

I am not sure that you can FaceTime between two devices that have the same ID as they are both identified as 'you'. That way, if someone calls you on FaceTime, they will both ring and you can use whichever device you want or prefer to use. Does FaceTime to other people work okay?

OS X Yosemite Pages sync problem between iPad and Macbook

I have updated my Macbook on OS X Yosemite. After update I getting problem in sync between iPad pages and iCloud.
Pages do not get sync automatically, temporary solution. I have to make sure that Macbook Pages connected to internet. After that I need to open my files on pages and have to do some fake changes like do some space. Pages again upload files from iPad and than I got updated files on my macbook.
iPad pages upload files correctly, I can confirm this because I do login in iCloud through web browser than I get files updated.
So this is the problem from macbook side (i.e. OS X Yosemite) not picking synced files from iCloud.

A problem to sync emails in Mail app between iMac and Macbook Air

Hello members,
I have had a problem that can't sync emails in Mail app(OSX Mavericks) betwee iMac and Macbook Air. I have iCloud mail account and several Gmail accounts on the mail app.
Is there anyone to help me?

When both are at home on the same network and sharing drives, you can use a variety of tools. Check the App store for fily syncronization. Also, OS X includes rsync if you are a UNIX command line person, and there are shareware GUI's for rsync as well (RsyncX was one I remember). Then there are commercial tools like Chronosync.
Another, albeit to my mind cumbersome way, is to use an airport time capsule and time machine. You use TM to backup each machine, and use the option in TM to browse another TM backup to restore from (eg. come home from a trip, backup the MacBook Air, then log on to the iMac, browse to the MBA backup volume and restore what you recently worked on from there).
Or get a NAS device for home and use that as a common personal form of dropbox. The key would be keeping a neat uniform directory structure for the things you need sync'd - like maybe just the Documents folder & subfolders.
