Sharing .band files between ipads?

Hi all,
I have seen comments regarding not being able to share from Mac GB to iPad GB, bur is it possible to share .band files between IOS equipment eg two iPads or an iPad and iPhone? I have tried beginning a song on my iPhone, then sharing to iTunes in a .band file (which actually saves a few folders and files to a folder on my PC). Then on trying to "add" a file to my iPad in iTunes, but there is no ".band" file that I can see, just the folder and it's contents.
I realise I could save the individual tracks as aif files and load them into a new song, but this kinda defeats the purpose of being able to share a song file with a mate for both of us to work on in midi format....
Am I missing something here?

It should be possible using the File Sharing system, but currently only using a Mac. You can export a .Band project and copy it to a PC using file sharing but what you get is a folder. There is no proper way to copy that folder back into the iPad, or a different one. I have heard tales of success using tools like iExplorer to mess around in the device's file system but I've not tried that myself.

Looking for help for sharing pdf files with ipad from mac. Pages only recognizes text. What app should I use for file sharing pdf documents?

Looking for advice on how to share pdf files with iPad from Mac. Pages seems to only recognize text. What app is recommended for pdf documents?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
If I understand your question, you want to read pdfs on your iPad, not create or edit.
Drag pdf files to the iPad icon in Finder while connected to your computer via the USB cable.
They will show up in the iBooks application
(If you don't already have iBooks, it's a free download from the App Store.)
Once installed, there are two buttons at the top left of the Bookshelf.
One is Books, the other is Collections.
Tap Collections, and you'll see Books and PDFs.
Tap PDFs and you're there.

Sharing linked files between mac and pc

Dear Community and AI Support,
My team is trying to share AI files between Macs and PCs. That works fine until we have Linked assets. Once we have linked assets, AI either forgets to, or is unable to, let us relink more than one of the linked files. We can't edit the links or even delete them. The linked files are just ignored, leaving the file half empty.
We've tried hacking the paths directly in the .AI file, hoping to eventually write a perl script to help us switch back and forth. but no luck. We assume there is a checksum or crc code or hash, etc..., as AI won't even try to open the file after that.
But to clarify the issue. here is an example of the Mac and PC links we need to switch between using an excerpt from the AI file. These are valid, working directories on both platforms.

ooohhhhh very interesting. I did a find and replace on all the strings, but no dice. I didn't think to look at those types of data. But now that you have mentioned it, perhaps I'll do a diff on the same file saved on both platforms to see what has been changed. Should have already thought of it, but your note has made me check my assumptions.

Sharing photo tags between iPad and Windows

We just got a new iPad and we are working out sharing data between our Windows machines and the iPad. From reading the forums, my understanding is that iOS uses tags rather than a folder hierarchy to view subsets of pictures. Is there a common format for tag info? I read a post from 2007 that said there was not a common tag format yet. I'm hoping that in the interventing time something common has emerged.

Right now, I have Verizon DSL that uses a Westell router. It has 4 ethernet ports on the back in addition to the DSL connections. I have a HP Pavilion with Windows XP in the basement, an iMac G3 in my room, and an intel iMac in our living room all connected to the router by ethernet cables. Each computer is able to access the other computer's files. On the intel iMac I have Microsoft Remote Desktop installed so that I can log into the HP in the basement and control it from the iMac. I haven't tried operating this network wirelessly, but I would imagine that it would be possible. One thing that you might want to check is the router's configuration. My router has settings that either allow or block wireless signals. To access my router's settings I type in 192.168.1.1 in Safari or Internet Explorer. Having all 3 computers on the internet at the same time does not slow the speed of the DSL very much.
I hope this information will help.

Sharing folders/files between users on same imac Intel

Hello,
Hoping the Gods of OSX can help me. I'm a recent convert from PC to iMac Intel. My wife and I both use the imac so we set up two different users (both have admin priv). I was able to network the imac and our PC together and pull stuff off the PC onto the mac (music videos, documents).
The Question:
We want to be able to share alot of stuff between the two users. for instance, If I were to login then connect my Digital camera and import in iPhoto then fast switch to my wife's account I want to be able to see those photos that were just imported. What are the steps (if any) to make folders synced/shared.
If anyone can help it would be appriciated.

The easiest way is to put the files you wish to share between users in the Shared folder (this is the Shared folder located in the Users folder.) All files placed there can be accessed by all users.
If you want to go a step further it's possible to set up multiple-user iTunes and iPhoto libraries:
Share iPhoto Library with Multiple Users
Share iTunes Library

Sharing purchased apps between ipads?

My kids have ipads with separate itunes accounts. is there a way they can share their purchased apps with each other?

I have 2 Ipads that I use in class with kids. We are planning to buy more. I want to know how I can share apps between the two Ipads that we use in class. Do I have to purchase them twice (or 10 times if we have 10 Ipads?)
Yes, you must purchase the app multiple times. Purchases are for your personal use.
It's like any other software. You cannot purchase one copy and install it on all computers in the school.
Schools can make multiple purchases for the l and get vol

Sharing Downloaded Files between 2 accounts on the same system

My wife and I each have separate accounts set up on our iMAC G5. We both have .MAC accounts, but only use one account to download songs into iTunes. In an earlier version of iTunes, I set up both accounts to point to the same iTunes library file, which is located in a shared directory. I recently got an iPOD for my wife. The problem is that when she is logged into her account on the iMAC and opens iTunes, she does not see any of the songs that I've downloaded from the iTunes Store.
I have logged into her account on the iMAC, opened iTunes, and "Authorized" her "computer" to use my iTunes account. Now I can see the purchased songs from in iTunes running in her account, but those songs cannot be loaded into playlists and downloaded into her iPOD.
Our cars both have iPOD interfaces that require playlists to have specific names. She wants her own playlists and I don't want to have to rename my playlists, create new ones for her, download them to her iPOD, change the names on her playlists, then rename mine back to their original names. I just want to let her maintain her own playlists.
I've installed the most recent version of iTunes (v7.0(70)) and it didn't change the behavior at all.
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.5) 2 GB,iSight, WD 160GB USB, WD 250GB USB

Instead of read-only access to each other's iTunes directories, I followed instructions posted elsewhere on this forum and have ITunes in both accounts pointing to the same physical file. From my account, I can see all the songs, both the ones loaded from CDs and the ones downloaded from ITunes (using my ITunes account). From her account, she can see the songs I loaded from CD, but not any of the songs I've downloaded.
If I share my ITunes library, then she can open the shared file and see all of the songs, downloaded as well as those from CDs. However, if she selects any of the downloaded songs, she cannot put them into playlists or otherwise copy them to her IPod.
She doesn't have an ITunes account. Her ITunes is set up to use my account and is one of the two authorized "Computers" for my account. I thought that going into ITunes and authorizing my ITunes-account would have solved the problem, but it doesn't.
I'm running the latest ITunes (Macintosh) software, version 7.0 (7.0).

Sharing XML file between computers?

I've just set up all the computers in my house to put all new imports onto the same external hardrive, but i realised that this doesn't update all of the computers' itunes libraries, just the one that the songs were imported through.
I was trying to find away of constantly consolidating the libraries to the Hard Drive's music, but i then thought it might be easier if they were all effectively the same version of iTunes, ie. use the XML file. Is this possible?

Surely then, there must be one file that has all the data base information on it.
There's a binary file right next to the iTunes Library XML file called "iTunes Library". That's the database iTunes reads. If you look at it in the Finder, the "Kind" column even says it's an iTunes Database file.
I assume it's : iTunes Package Contents/Contents/Resources/English.Iprog/InfoPlist.strings
No, that's a list of strings the program uses that can be localized. You can look at it if you drag it onto the TextEdit program (but for goodness' sake, don't make any changes unless you really know what you're doing).
I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to accomplish. If it's to get multiple computers to look at the same iTunes Library, you're going to have problems if you have iTunes open on two or more computers at the same time. There's a reasonably good chance you'll eventually end up with two copies of iTunes trying to write to the preferences file at the same time, corrupting it.
You might be better off setting up one computer to be a kind of "server," sharing its library to the others via the network. It's not as slick, perhaps, but probably safer.

Home sharing purchased books between ipad two ipads (mini)

Hello,
I have turned on home sharing on my itune account.
My husband can see it on his itune account.
I have a book I purchased from the itunes and it is on my ipad mini.
How do I get the book onto his mini?
Thank you
Susie

Hi
I set up the home sharing on my Mac Itunes.
My husband has a PC but it doesn't matter. He could see my music library but not my book library, yet the home sharing says and displays books in the images of a library.
I wish it was defined what could be shared and what can not be shared. I purchased it from Itunes (Billy Crystals Book - Just Foolin') Great read!! very funny.
Instead my husband reading on my ipad we figured we could share..if you can share purchased music from Itunes, why not books...copy right is copy right..you can give someone a book! same thing.
Look forward to some answers, maybe even from apple!
This is not our first ipads. I am totally apple everything..

Sharing/accessing files between laptop and imac

i want to make it so i have a "server" type thing where i can access files either from my laptop or imac but im at a loss figuring out how to do it and if i need an actual server hard drive thing.
any ideas?
is it possible to make a portion of my hard drive on my imac available to access files across my airport? maybe by just purchasing Mac OS X Server? whats the best way of achieving this? cheapest too!
could i get an external harddrive and act/use as if its the server?

There are quite a few options available to you with varying degrees of speed and integration.
Assuming that you take your PowerBook home
1) Buy a FireWire cable and boot your PowerBook into Target Disk Mode. This makes your PowerBook act like a hard disk on your desktop. This is by far the simplest and quickest solution.
2) Use networking/file sharing via either ethernet, Firewire or wireless.
3) Create a new user account on your desktop and set it to use your PowerBook home directory as its home directory. For this solution you're going to need to start your PowerBook in Target Disk Mode and be able to modify the new account under the root account to point it to your PowerBook's home directory. This is by far the most integrated solution as you will actually be using the same home directory on both computers though it is by far the most difficult to set up.
Assuming that you DON'T take your PowerBook home
1) Use a USB2 flash drive. My father does this for each of his clients that requires him to work at their offices (on PCs) and this works extremely well for him. This is a really cheap and simple solution but does mean that you can't be moving around huge amounts of data as you're limited by the small size of flash drives.
2) Buy yourself a portable FireWire hard drive to use on both computers. By the way, an iPod will work though won't be as quick due to its smaller and slower 1.8" drive.
3) Doing what you're doing now.

Anyone knows if there's a way to share files between ipads wihtout using the itunes software?

I've been trying with some apps to do this but there's always a prior step in which you have to drag the files to the app using ITUNES. Someone knows if there's a way to share files without using this program?

Every file has to be associated with an app. So you can't avoid that. You could look into something like dropbox, where you access the info online, and I believe, download it via the dropbox app then 'send' it to the app that'll read/open it.

Sharing music files between two different iPods.

Someone is about to purchase a new iPod and would like to load my iPod music library to their PC. What is the best way to go about this? Thanks.

Sharing copyrighted material with a friend is illegal - it doesn't matter if it's from a CD, iTunes, or any other source. Sorry.
Please don't steal music.
Cheers!

Sharing music files between users while maintaining ratings

I have two users on my MacBook Pro which I use every day. One is my normal "home" user I use when at home. The other is my "work" user which I use at work (I'm a software developer, so I have a separate environment for that).
All of my new music gets downloaded/copied to my "home" user.
To get the music into iTunes on my "work" user, I've taken a couple steps:
1) I made an alias of my "Music" folder under the iTunes library in my "home" user and moved it to a more publically accessable location "/".
2) In my "work" user, I've opened the preferences, gone to the "Advanced" tab, unchecked "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding a library," and changed my iTunes Media folder location to the /Music alias.
This works great. However, I've taken the time to rate all of the songs under my "home" user, and I'd really like those ratings to show up for my "work" user.
There is 1 solution which is to copy the "iTunes Library.itl" and "iTunes Library.xml" files from my "home" user to my "work" user. However, this is cumbersome.
Is there some way I can make the ratings just show up/sync? Ideally, adding music under "home" would also automatically show up under "work," too.
Thanks.

Thanks for your response.
I do understand that what I want to do is not possible with iTunes if I can't get both users to use the same library file.
Both users can access the same iTunes library file.
However, it can only be accessed by one user at a time. (you can't have iTunes open on your home machine and work machine at the same time).
Hold Option and launch iTunes.
Select Choose library... and select the iTunes folde in the you moved to a more publicly accessible location.
That's all you need to do.
Make sure you quit iTunes when you want to access the library while on the other computer.
