Transfer a pdf  from iPhone to an iMac WITHOUT WiFi?

My internet went down yesterday and I needed to print a document that was in my iPhone Mail program.   It was a pdf.    I opened the document in iBooks on the iPhone.  I hoped I could  transfer the document to my computer for printing.  I connected the computer to my iPhone with a cord.   iTunes could see the document under Devices>Books.   It was checked.  However, when I selected MyiPhone>Books, I could only see three purchased books and no pdf.   I went ahead and synced my iPhone to the iMac anyway.   The pdf was not transferred.     Is there a way to transfer the pdf to my computer NATIVELY without wifi?    If not, is there a third party that can do it without WiFi?   The internet is working again and I was able to print the document but now I have a bee in my bonnet about solving this problem.   Thank you!
P.S. Can Bluetooth be used to transfer files when I normal wired connection or wifi won't work? 

Thanks guys for your posts, but I'm giving up on it.
Tried logging in and out. Didn't work.
Tried transferring purchases from iPhone to mac via iTunes. Didn't work.
One thing did change however, which is now in iTunes on the mac, I can see the book under the Settings/Books section ( i think it means I have this book on the mac). If I delete the book on iPhone, I can succesfully regain it by syncing from mac to iPhone using iTunes. But the fact is, I don't have the book in iBooks on mac. It still has this cloud icon in the upper right corner. And no matter how many times I tried to download it, it just didn't work.
Too frustrating to fix this problem. I guess I'm better off just viewing it on the phone.
Thanks guys for your help again!

  • How do I transfer Voice memos from iPhone to my iMac?

    I have recordings made on my iPhone using Voce Memos, since updating to OS10.8 these no longer sync to my iMac when using iTunes.  The help files for iTunes bear no relation to the screens that iTunes produces and there seems no direct way of transfering my files.  Any ideas?
    Mike Butler

    iTunes should automatically sync voice memos to your iTunes library when you connect iPhone to your computer. This lets you listen to voice memos on your computer and provides a backup if you delete them from iPhone.
    Voice memos are synced to the Voice Memos playlist. iTunes creates the playlist if it doesn’t exist. When you sync voice memos to iTunes, they remain in the Voice Memos application until you delete them. If you delete a voice memo on iPhone, it isn’t deleted from the Voice Memos playlist in iTunes. However, if you delete a voice memo from iTunes, it is deleted from iPhone the next time you sync with iTunes.

  • Migration assistant stalled ( 110 hours, after 30  hours ). How else can I transfer my data from PC to new iMac without wireless migration assistant?

    i am a new mac user
    i have a new imac
    was trying to transfer data from old pc to imac using migration assistant ( wirelessly )
    i had done it once already, but i noticed that although it took about 8 hours, very little data from the c drive was actually transferred ( i had not noticed i had to designated folders to copy )
    so i did it again, targetting folders on the D drive and my external hard drive F - lots of data ( about 300 GB )
    after an hour i noticed that the estimated time for completion was 88 hours ! i did let it run for about 30 hours anyway and hoped for the best ...
    this morning when i woke up the time remaining was estimated at 42 hours, but then it suddenly jumped to 110 hours !!!
    when i came home 8 hours later, it was still at 110 hours, so i stopped it - i assumed it had crashed ...
    i got a message that one folder on my pc might have been lost - corrupted
    incredibly, after more than 30 hours, no data had actually been transferred to my new mac !!!!
    in any case, i see now that migration assistant created a new user account anyway, which i do not want
    SO
    how can i transfer data from my pc laptop to my new imac, preferrably with a direct cable connection as opposed to wireless, directly into my main account
    and i how can i delete the other account migration assistant created in the initial "successful" transfer
    thanks

    Concur; however, the OP has one Mac and one PC (non-Mac). Details are in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2518
    Ah yes, forget the Firewire cable then, use ethernet.

    how to transfer my text from iphone 4s to to iphone 6

    Hi,
    Did you or can you set up the new iPhone from a Backup of the Old one ?
    They would have to be at the same Level of OS
    iMessages are deleted from the iMessages servers as soon as that are accepted by the device they were sent to.
    Essentially they are duplicated if you have more than one device and each then gets it's own "Copy" as they are push to each registered device based on unique login info.
    Therefore there is is no simple "Download" old iMessages.
    SMS items are also unlikely to be kept by the servers.

  • IPad2 not syncing iBook PDFs from iPhone

    I have PDFs on my iPhone in iBooks.  I have syncing turned on for my iPad2 and iPhone for iBooks.  I have wirelss syncing checked for both also.  But, PDFs from iPhone will not sync wirelessly to iPad iBook library. Any help?!?

    Not sure whether your question being struck through means that you've found the answer or not, but if not then the Settings > iBooks options don't sync items between devices, it only keeps what you already have on both devices in-line with each other - you will need to sync the PDFs to the other device yourself (even though they aren't iTunes purchases you should be able to copy them to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases)

  • I just purchased a 24" iMac A1225 without a hard drive.   Can I transfer the drive from my old 17" iMac, with OS 10.68 installed on it, or do I have to clone, migrate or reinstall?

    Hal

    Aha OK then, that should work fine.
    The only snag might be, if your missing the original thermal sensor from the original 24" Hard Drive.
    Then again, you should be able to use the one that came from the original 17" Hard Drive.

  • How to transfer contact details from iphone 5c to iphone 6

    How and different easy way to transfer contact details from iphone 5c to iphone 6.

    Greetings bhabaniprasad,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you would like to transfer your contact information from your iPhone 5c to your iPhone 6. There are a few different ways to accomplish this. 
    First, if you are using iCloud on your iPhone 5c and Contacts are turned on, you simply need to sign in to that same iCloud account on your iPhone 6 and turn Contacts on. 
    Get help using iCloud Contacts - Apple Support
    If you do not use iCloud, you can backup your iPhone 5c to iTunes and then restore your iPhone 6 from that backup. 
    Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
    Cheers,

    Welcome to the world of Macs. See this introduction to Macs. It might be that you need to sync your iPhone with you MBP. To do this you would connect your iPhone to your MBP which should start up iTunes so you can sync music, vids, and possibly contacts.

  • Is it possible to transfer photos, files from iphone 5s to macbook pro via bluetooth?

    Before I got the iphone 5s, I was using a Nokia phone.  I was able to transfer photos, files from my Nokia phone to macbook pro via bluetooth connections.  It was very simple and POSSIBLE (even though apple support staff said it was not possible to do so).  My macbook pro does NOT need to be paired with Nokia phone as long as it can DISCOVER the nokia phone and vice versa.
    Hence, after i got the iphone 5s recently, I'd expected both devices (iphone 5s and macbook pro) to communicate and connect via bluetooth as easily as Nokia phone.  However, I was disappointed to find out the iphone 5s kept "searching" for discoverable device even though my macbook DISCOVERED the iphone!!  Thus, I was NOT able to transfer any files from these two devices.
    Any apple technical people care to explain why BOTH are apple products cant work?  A Nokia phone and macbook can.  Very strange, isn't it?

    Althought,you can use bluetooth to transfer photos,files from iPhone to Macbook,However,it is so slowly,if you want to quickly copy photos/files from iPhone to Mac,you can use tools or software to help you,such as iStonsoft iPhone to Mac Transfer,This is a very professional tool,Hope this helps!
