Sharing files between iphone apps

Is it possible in an app to read a file of another app? ( like reading a game save file of a free app installed on the Iphone to use it in the paid version ).

Not really, since every application runs in its own sandbox environment. You can of course you a web server (Amazon S3 etc) as the shared space between the applications. That of course means the user needs to be connected to the web to share the files.

Sharing files between users and macs

My husband and I share an iMac. I have a MBA for traveling and my husband a PC laptop (though he rarely uses for private stuff). We both have iPhones.
We are looking for a way to:
- Share our photos (we don't use iPhoto) and some files. We would like to have this in one shared folder, that we can access from both accounts in the iMac, the MBA and ideally (though not a must) the PC and iPhones. We would both need to have admin rights to edit documents, etc.
- Have access to all the information in my account on the iMac from the MBA. Ideally, same thing for his and the PC.
- Have access to all the data remotely when traveling.
- Have all the data backed up locally (we already have a cloud backup, but we'd like to have a local backup too as it's easier and quicker to access)
We have read a lot about configuration, NAS, time capsule... but we get more and more confused, as we are obviously no tech experts.
Dropbox is not our preferred choice. We already have a cloud backup system. We'd rather have the files stored and accessed locally for everyday use.
Using a NAS to store shared folders and backup the rest sounds good, but they either seem very complicated to set up, or they have mixed reviews in terms of stability, especially to access files remotely.
Timecapsule seems easier and more straightforward, but I'm not sure it would solve the "sharing files between users and macs with admin rights"? It seems to be more focused on backing up the main drive and then providing access to the backed up files. (Though I might be completely mistaken!)
We just can't manage to have one shared folder between both accounts in the iMac. We need to grant admin rights document by document. We don't manage to make it work automatically so we both have one folder to access with full rights for all the contents inside it. And this seems to me like something that should easily be done...?
Any help, advice, proposals... would be greatly appreciated!!!

Move any file you want to the other user to access to the Shared Folder. Anything you put in that folder is available to all users.
The shared folder is here:
Macintosh HD > Users > Shared

How do I sync a PDF file between iPhone and iPad in iBooks?

How do I sync a PDF file between iPhone and iPad in iBooks?

If the PDF supports it then you can try opening the PDF in iBooks on your phone and use the 'share' icon (the square with the upward pointing arrow) to email it to yourself (some PDFs a protected and don't support emailing) and use 'open in' in the Mail app on your iPad to copy it to its Mail app.
Or you can connect the phone to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy it over to your iTunes (that should copy PDFs and/or epubs that are in the iBooks app, not just ibooks) and if using a Mac with Mavericks or Yosemite on it then do File > Move Books From iTunes in its iBooks app, and you can then sync it to your iPad.

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.

Sharing files between different users on same computer

how do I go about sharing files between two users on the same computer?
also, what about iTunes, can I transfer songs between users, or do I have to pay for it everytime, even though it's on the same computer?

You can control sharing of a user's itune library in the sharing preference. It is good for users on the same computer and the same local network (usually your house of small office).
As for files on another users folder, they have to either change the permissions of the parent folder (get info) or put the file to be shared into the public folder.

About sharing files between 2 phones

All the android has shareit(via wifi) app. By which they share files In short time.but we can't have it. But some times it installs.but doesn't work.so, what should we do. Plz Plz Plz help us. Is there any means that can reduce our problems by saving our time.

hello Bijoy71,
do I understand correctly?
You wish to be able to send and receive files between two smartphones, through Wi-Fi.
You can do that using directly "Wi-Fi Direct". It is a protocol that allows exactly that, without requiring a Wi-Fi HotSpot, and it works for any smartphone that has that feature. For example, your Q5 can use Wi-Fi Direct to exchange files with a Samsung Galaxy SIII.
Here is how to use Wi-Fi Direct on your BlackBerry Q5, directly without an app:
http://docs.blackberry.com/en/smartphone_users/deliverables/62507/kte1397656411612.jsp
I will just add that if the other phone is a Samsung phone, the user may require to setup their device do use the real "Wi-Fi Direct" as opposed to Samsung's SBeam that works only between two Samsung phones. There should be an explicit option on the Samsung phone.

Copying files between Iphone and PC over 3G-connection?

Hi,
Is there any application for copying files between PC and Iphone using a 3G or Edge connection? I'm using Jaadu VNC client on my Iphone but it has no functions for file transfers (as far as I know).
Thanks for any hints!

No. I don't believe that would be allowed with the SDK. You could always email them to yourself.

Sharing files between a Mac and PC

I have 2 Mac's and 2 PC's and they are all on a network via Airport Express and all connect to the Internet just fine. What I'd like to do is share files to and from all the computers on my network. I can see the Mac's just fine and copy files between them as well, however I cannot "mount" the PC's. When I go into network I see library, Mshome,My Network,Servers,Workgroup. In Ms Home I see one of the pc's and in Network and workgroup I see the other PC. When I click connect on either of the pc's regardless of which folder they are in i get the spinning lollipop and then a message that the alias needs to be fixed or deleted. Can anyone help me? I've turned on Windows sharing on my Mac and I've turned on sharing on the folders on my PC that I would like to have access to. What am I missing? I should mention that I know nothing about PC's. Thanks ahead of time for any and all help!

Advice on sharing files between two Macs please?

Hello all,
I have two G4s, one running 10.3.9 and one running 10.4. They are both connected to an ethernet router for internet. I would like to share files between these two computers as well as share a printer connected to the G4 running Panther.
After reading the Apple docs, I'm a bit confused, so I've posted here for clarification if possible.
From what I understand I can simply "turn on file sharing" on both and then grab and move files to the "Public" folder only of each G4?
I can also simply "turn on printer sharing" and share my printer with the Tiger G4?
In either case, will the G4s mount on each other's desktops?
Thanks in advance for any clarification.

Have you actually tried it yet? You're not clear on that bit!
It should just work. Be aware that shaing over ethernet is all about IP adresses. Normally you wouldn't think about this, but your router will probably assign these to the two macs automatically. In theory.
A good thing to know is, if you are on Mac A, with Sharing set up as ON on the other Mac (B), you can log in AS THE USER on Mac B, thereby gaining total access to that machine - not just the shared folder. However, if you log on as a "guest" you will only get into the shared folder.
The thing to remember is, go to preferences in the Finder (nont System Prefs) and click the Sidebar tab at the top. Make sure that Connected Servers and Netwrk are ticked to appear in the sidebar.
Any window you open in the FInder will now have a Network icon on the left. Touch this, and the other Mac shold appear (after a delay) like a disk. Click it, and then you can click through to log into it.
You can set up network disks to automount at startup too.
Good luck.

Cannot erase files in iPhone apps

In my iPhone 4, there are some files I would like to, but cannot erase, probably because I accidentally placed them in an incompatible App.
I understand that files belonging to a specific App in iPhone (or my iPad Mini II as a matter of fact) must be erased from within the App itself and not from iTunes.
Example: there are keynote presentations in Smart Office II, and Smart Office II will allow me to erase only their compatible documents. Accidentally, I gave SOffice some filemaker Go db's, which it couldn't deal with. Yet, I can't cancel them.
Does there exist some method for canceling files in iPhone 4, when the App where they are located refuses to recognize them for cancellation?

One thing to do would be to go to Disk Utility and verify permissions and repair if necessary, just in case there is a permissions problem.
However, it may be that your software has become corrupted. If so, I don't know if there is an easy fix. You might have to do a clean install of your OS. If you decide to do this, be sure and back up all your data in advance.
Good luck!

Sharing file between moutain lion and lion

To share files other MACs running Mt. Lion, you simply turn on AirDrop. Without an internet or intranet, can you, and how do you share files between MACs running Mt. Lion and Lion? How do you share files between Mt. Lion and any other older versions of OS X?

Here is a real-life example. My principal home machine is a 2011 Mac mini running OS X 10.8.3. My work laptop is a 2010 MacBook Pro with Lion. On the laptop, I enable File Sharing (afp) and export a project folder from the MacBook Pro and mount it on the desktop of the Mac mini.
Now, I can be more productive across two large monitors with the same applications and data; without concern for synchronizing final content. In my case, the work files remain on the laptop. Moving files between machines is a simple Finder operation.
WIthout a network, you can create your own with a length of CAT5(E) or better cable connecting each Mac Ethernet port. No need for a router in this (temporary) case. The alternative to this is a USB stick or where both machines have a reader, an SDHC data card.

Sharing files between my imac and my MacBook Air?

How do I share files between my imac and my 2nd generation MacBook Air?
I have my imac that holds alot of files that I want to transfer over to my MacBook Air. How do I do this at home through a wireless network. I enabled file sharing on my Imac and MBA. This did not work. Any Help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

I've used Apple's file sharing for years but two programs have made my life tons easier. One is the freeware DropCopy - install it on both computers and you'll see a black dot on your desktop. Drag a file onto the dot and it is copied to the other computer. If you have more than 2 computers you can easily select which computer gets the file.
The second is the freeware program DropBox. Like DropCopy you need to install the program on both computer. Unlike DropCopy, DropBox watches a folder on your computer called DropBox and any file put into it gets synced to the cloud and from there copied to the other computer. One of the great things about DropCopy is that you can also access your files via the Internet.
