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.

How do you know when the person that you've shared the file with has downloaded the file?

After the person get the email that says "I am sharing these files with you. Click on the image below to view or download your file.", how do you know that they've viewed or downloaded the file? Do you get an email message or is there something in the shared status that lets you know?

Thank you for your post. Although this is a feature for Buzzword, right now it's not possible to know if someone has viewed a file you've sent via Share. We are working to integrate Share/My Files/Buzzword so that this will be corrected in future.
Let me know if you have additional questions.

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.

Sharing digital files with non Adobe users

Can someone tell me how to share Adobe files with non-Adobe users? At the Adobe Max Conference, they mentioned that this was possible, but I'm not sure if this is something that is available now or just in the future. Thoughts, comments?
Thanks,
-JLUMBER

You first need to upload the file you want to share to Creative Cloud, then through the web interface (https://assets.adobe.com/files you can select the file in question, click the "Send Link" button near the top of the file list, and then click "Create Public Link".
This will make the file public and provide you with a link to share to your intended recipient.
It actually works quite nicely.
Cheers,
Dave

HT1338 synching iMac contacts with iPad

I have tried synching my contacs and calendar between my iMac and my iPad and neither seems to recognize input from the other (i.e., there is no trasnfer of either contact or calendar data from one to the other). Any ideas??

Yes.

Don't add the calendar in Preferences, turning it on in System Preferences>iCloud should install it in Calendar.

Sharing video file with non CC member

Dear All,
I have to share a large video file with a client who is NOT a creative cloud subscriber. Can I do that? How does the other person gain access to my creative cloud storage in order to download the video? I am a Creative Cloud monthly subscriber. Thanks
Small Town Gal

Thanks Nancy.
Creative Cloud Connection
The install for Creative Cloud Connection ("desktop sync") is available from the Creative Cloud Apps page at https://creative.adobe.com/apps or from the Adobe Application Manager. But it seems you already have it installed an just need to launch it.
Which operating system are you on? On Windows you can launch Creative Cloud Connection from the Start Menu, and on Mac OS X from the Applications folder. Once launched it will re-open upon computer restart by default. You can change this if wanted via the Preferences.
Your Online File Storage
Just sign in with your Adobe ID at https://creative.adobe.com. You should see a Files menu in the top left of the web application.
From the Actions menu you can choose Upload to upload files. You can also drag and drop upload files (but not folders) from the Windows Explorer / Mac OS X Finder to the browser.
As a subscriber you should take advantage of the 20 GB storage provided for an individual subscription. There are some restrictions we have around certian file types, but we are working to improve that.

Sharing Aperture library with iPad: a little annoyance...

When editing a photo with a 3rd party plugin (or Photoshop), Aperture creates a 2nd version in TIF or JPG. This image is stacked with the main image. 9 times out of 10, the image edited should become the primary image I want to see, with the RAW (or original master) becoming a backup in the stack.
I wish there was an option for iTunes/iPad to sync only the top image of the stacks within a giving event. If anyone knows of a way to do this currently please let me know.
Thanks!

PS: all of the image files are actually stored on a NAS box and mounted via AFP. I tried moving the Aperture library to the NAS box but the performance was atrocious. so I kept the library on Macintosh HD and just reference the picture files from the NAS share.
That is the safest solution. The Aperture library should reside on a local volume, MacOS X extended formatted. Your NAS probably is neither local nor formatted MacOS X extended, see
Aperture: Use locally mounted Mac OS X Extended volumes for your Aperture library
I am trying to share the library with my wife so that each of us can retain our separate accounts and preferences and be able to edit/print/add pictures to the library
Aperture is a single User program. Only one of you can use Aperture at a time. So you hvae to quit Aperture in your account, before your wife can launch it from her account. Also make sure that iPhoto is not using the library.
One big problem with sharing a Library are permissions and ownerships. When you make changes to an Aperture Library and add images, you are the owner of the added images. The safest way to share a library therefore would be to put it on an external volume or onto a separate partition of your hard drive. Then you can set the "Ignore ownership on this volume" flag and share the data with out permission problems. To set this flag on a volume, select it in the Finder and use "File > Get info" from the Finder's main menu bar (or press cmd-I).

Using iMac WiFi with iPad

I have an iPad, and connect to the internet through my verizon router. I would like to connect through my iMac's WiFi. I'm not sure how to set this up. Can anyone help me? I'm not a computer pro by any stretch of the imagination, so if you could keep it really simple, I would be a happy camper. Thanks in advance.

I used that method for a few weeks when I first got my iPad. I got a really strong signal too. I could walk 150 ft away in the yard, and I was still connected. But it got to be a pain because every time I went to use my iPad, I had to wake my iMac from sleep. Then I found out that Comcast gives away free wifi routers to its cable/internet customers, and that's turned out to be much more convenient, though the iMac's wifi signal definitely goes further than the Netgear's. *I have a lot of security on my Netgear, so if I have visitors who want wifi, instead of going through the trouble of getting their device hooked up to my Netgear wifi, I just turn on the iMac's wifi and they're good to go instantly.* It's great as a temporary backup.
Am I understanding you correctly that you don't use your router's wifi connection because it is secure and you do let others use your Mac's wifi connection because it is insecure? I would want my Mac wifi secure so that others, including neighbours and those in proximity at hotels, airports, etc could not connect using my Mac.
IMHO using the router's wifi is better than using the Mac's wifi for sharing the Internet. The router is specifically designed to do that while the Mac is designed to also include the sharing capability but sharing is not the Mac's main function. And, why use your Mac;s processing power, turn it on, manage it just to share a connection?
You might want to set up a "guest" connection in your router if you want to allow insecure connections to the Internet rather than setting up an insecure connection through your Mac.

After installing ios 5, home sharing stopped working with iPad 2

After I've installed iOS 5, Home sharing stopped playing on my iPad 2.
I can SEE the content but the movies app simply hangs when I try playing it.
I can still play the content on an iPad 1 though..
Has anyone encountered something like that before?
P.S.
Using iTunes 10.5 on a PC running windows 7

After installling iOS5 the Videos App on my iPad2 takes forever to start films and TV shows from home sharing, if at all. I get a black screen after starting the film which can last between 10 seconds and a few minutes.
I've also noticed that I can't get the status of the film (volume, time etc.) to show when tapping the screen.
On top of all that, after having solved the issue with the TV shows being doubled and tripled up, I've noticed that the covers for movies are often on the wrong film.
Help!! Please!!

Can't open shared .ics file with iPhone

I am trying to sync my iPhone calendars with the calendar on my PC that is in .ics format. The .ics file is located on a home server that allows both me and my wife to see each other’s calendars and its been working great. Now, I want to be able to see my calendar from my iPhone 4 (with OS 5.1.1) .. and I’ve tried setting it up with: settings --> mail, contacts,calendars --> add account --> other --> add subscribed Calendar.
With every possible config I can think of, I get the same response: "Calendar Subscription -- Unable to verify account information"
For server name, I’ve tried actual servername, ip address, etc; we do have security on the server but I put in the account name and password … ‘nuthin! “Unable to verify …”
Through the phone's browser, I am able to open up the folder on our server and see the.ics file. The path is xxxx.homeserver.com/webcal/nat_calendar.ics. I've tried sending an invite to myself, opening it in the phone, clicking on the link and I get this error: Cannot Subscribe: Could not subscribe to the calendar "nat_calendar.ics from "myservername".
Seems simple, what am I missing here.
Any ideas?
-- Nat

OK ... so not too many others have had this issue -- but for those in the future, here's how to solve it. Go to this brilliant post by Joe Bradford: essentially my problem as was his in part -- was caused by having the wrong MIME type in IIS (my webserver). By going into the web server and changing the MIME type from application/octet-stream to text/calendar fixes the problem and the iPhone can now subscribe to the Outlook-generated calendar file (.ics).
Thankfully, I did not have the additional problem of an errant Byte Order Mark in the hexidecimal structure of the file which Joe also had to surgically remove (see issue 2 in post above).
(Given this was a cross platform issue -- Apple and MSFT -- I have to put this one at the feet of Apple for not coding the iPhone to open a webDAV (.ics) calendar file regardless of its MIME type ...)

MYOB AccountEdge - Sharing data file with remote Windows PC

I use MYOB AccountEdge in a Mac environment at my office. Bookkeeper uses MYOB AccountEdge in a PC environment. We both would like to be able to have access to my MYOB data file. Simultaneous access to the file is not a requirement. We're not in the same office, so one of us would have to access the file remotely. I have Mac OS X Panther Server installed on my server. The MYOB folks told us that, in mixed environments, the data file would have to reside on a Windows server in order for both the Mac and PC to have access to the data file. They said that the Windows PC would not be able to access/use the file if it resided on a Mac server. Bookkeeper does not have a windows server. Before I go out and buy a PC to act as a server for the data file, wanted to know if the MYOB folks knew what they were talking about. I know it's their product, but over the years I've found some companies who make both Mac & PC software to be sometimes mistaken about the capabilities of the Mac platform.
By the way, I do have a static IP address and broadband internet access. I would think that Mac OS X server would allow a PC to access and use the data file without any problems. Any advice/help anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Wifi sharing video files with Samsung HDD/Blu Ray player

How do I find my Samsung BD/HDD player and send video files to it? The manual says I need to download 'PC Share Manager' (yuk) surely I can just hunt for it on the network?
It's def connected, cos it's picking up stuff off the internet, but I want it to talk to the Mac!
Thanks,
Tim

No, there is no connection on the back of the C6500 to connect with the iPhone. You would also have to activate a tethering account ($25 per month) with AT&T if it was physically possible.

Sharing master files with Lightroom 4

Several years ago I used Aperture and ended up switching to LR4, but miss a few of the features of Aperture. I am trying to figure out a way of using Aperture to access some of my master files without having to duplicate my master files from LR4. It is my understanding that if I import files into Aperture that the images go into a specific Aperture Library. What I really liked about LR was that my master files could sit where ever I wanted them and the application only accessed the files rather than stowed the masters into a unique application library.

You can import images into Aperture as referenced originals, and reference them in their original location, without moving them into the aperture library. Only you must not move them, rename them, edit them in any way after importing them into Aperture, for that will break the connection between the version in Aperture and the referenced original master.
