Transfer iMovie from iMac to iPad or iPhone 4

Hi, i do have iMac, iPhone and iPad. I am using iPhone for about 6 months and iMac and iPad bought in last 3 weeks. My question is related to various applications on iMac like iMovie. Is it possible to transfer / use the iMovie on iMac to iPad or iPhone with out paying additional amount of money? If yes - how?
If no - why? I have paid for imovie while buying iMac so I should be free to use it on all my apple devices.
Thanks

The iMac runs on totally different operating system than the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. You could not use the Mac version of iMove on an iDevice so you would have to purchase the app for the iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch.

How to transfer imovie from iMac to iPad?

I need to know how to transfer an app such as imovie from a Mac to an iPad.

Mac OS X applications can't be used on an iOS device. If they're in an iTunes library, they're iOS applications, not Mac OS X ones, and can be transferred by syncing the device.
As the developer needs to create and maintain the versions separately, having bought one version doesn't entitle someone to a free download of the other.

Transfer photos from iMac to iPad

Hi Guys - can someone tell me an easier way to transfer photos from iMac to iPad.
Perhaps I've misunderstood, but this is the process I currently go through
create folder called "iPad photos" on desktop
create event called "iPad transfer" on iphoto
copy and paste items from iPhoto to desktop folder
when complete, drag photos from desktop to iphoto
then move the resultant "untitled event" to merge with "iPad transfer"
sync iPad with ONLY "iPad transfer"
This works. However, I've then got exactly TWICE the number of digital photos in iPhoto !
I have the originals, and then the duplicates imported BACK into the iPad transfer folder - so obviously I'm using up valuable memory.
Can someone suggest a simpler more efficient way ?
Many thanks.

I'm guessing that you are going through all of those steps because you have photos in a number of different events that you want to copy to the iPad and that those events also include photos that you don't want to go to the iPad?
Two options to consider:
1) Create an Event for photos that you want to move to the iPad and move all of the photos from where they currently are into that Event. This has the advantage of grouping all of the photos into one Event but the disadvantage that they are no longer in the Event where you may have wanted them for other reasons.
2) What I do. Use the iPhoto "Album" feature. A photo inside iPhoto can be in one Event and in one or more Albums without occupying any more space. Create an Album (iPhoto File menu New Album) and name it something like "iPad Photos". If you desire you can create additional Albums and drag them onto the main Album to create sub-albums one level deep for better organization. Then simply drag photos from Events to the desired Album and they will be in both places. Then when you sync, select the Album (e.g. "iPad Photos") to sync.

How to transfer files from iMac to iPad 2

What's the best way to transfer files from iMac to iPad, like a Keynote presentation?

It's probably not as "simple" as using DropBox, but it's there. When in the Apps section of iTunes, just scroll down to the bottom where there is a listing of installed apps that can use the iTunes data exchange. Documents available on the computer can be synced TO the device while those available on the device can be syned TO the computer.

Two of my 7 calendars aren't syncing correctly via icloud from iMac to ipad and iphone. i cant find the problem. Help!

Two calendars in my list of seven are not correctly syncing between my iMac and my ipad & iPhone. Also, the two calendars appear in my iCloud list with alert symbols after the (triangle with exclamation mark) whereas others in list show a "broadcasting" symbol. I don't know how to find out what these alerts are.
I have noticed problems in syncing special recurring events....I.e I am able to set up a 'last Friday of each month" on my iMac, but it doesn't appear on my iPad or iPhone. And I note I can't set up a special recurring event on my iPad or iPhone. What can I do to solve this? Is this a known flaw in iCal?

I have no idea if this will help as I sync via iTunes under OSX.6.8 - but there may be a clue somewhere here:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4981514
I have to say that, even after doing all that, my problem seems to recur at random with no obvious trigger - and it is even more bizarre because, like you, not all calendars or events are affected. Sometimes, different events within the same calendar are duplicated whereas others aren't!
And just how the iPad seems to pick up events which no longer appear in iCal is beyond me - presumably somewhere in a plist or old cache file but, as I said, no-one has any idea what or where!
No-one has managed to explian why my problem occurs or, indeed, just what is happening, but at least I now know how I can correct it, albeit via tedious series of steps.
I hope that helps?

If your network configuration is:
Cable modem > (Ethernet cable) > [WAN] AEBS > (wireless) > Macs, then
AirPort Extreme Base Station Setup (AEBS) w/High-Speed Cable Modem
Modem/Router Power ReCycling
- Power-off the Cable modem, AEBS, & computer(s). (If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
- Power-on the Cable modem; Wait at least 30 minutes.
- Power-on the AEBS; Wait at least 5 minutes.
- Power-on the computer(s)
Perform a "hard" reset of the AEBS.
- (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107451)
Setup the AEBS
With the network components powered down, set up the AEBS, using the AirPort Admin Utility, connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the LAN port of the AEBS, and then, try these settings:
AirPort tab
- Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
- AirPort Network Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
- Create a closed network (unchecked)
- Wireless Security: Not enabled
- Channel: Automatic
- Mode: 802.11b/g Compatible
Internet tab
- Connect Using: Ethernet
- Configure: Using DHCP
- WAN Ethernet Port: Automatic
Network tab
- Distribute IP addresses (checked)
- Share a single IP address (using DHCP & NAT) (enabled)
Once you verified that you can get Internet access for all of your computers, you should secure your wireless network. To do so, I suggest that you make these changes:
AirPort tab (optional)
- Create a closed network (checked)
Change Wireless Security
- Wireless Security: WPA Personal
Base Station Options - WAN Ethernet Port
- Enable SNMP Access (unchecked)
- Enable Remote Configuration (unchecked)
- Enable Remote Printer Access (unchecked)
Wireless Options
- Transmitter Power: 10%
Access Control tab (optional)
- + <add the computer(s) that will access this wireless network>

My iPHone is connected to my iMac, and I want to transfer files from iMace to IPhone. Instructions say to go to iTunes, look under Devices for my Device. I do so, and no devices are listed. How do I get iTunes to recognize my iPhone?

Make sure your iMac is on 10.6.8 or higher and your iTunes is up to date. If it is, then restart your computer, open iTunes, then plug in your device. If it still is not showing up, follow the steps listed here: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

How do I transfer songs from imac to iPhone?

How do I transfer songs from imac to iPhone?

You can connect your iPhone to your computer. Once your phone is connected via the USB cable to the computer, iTunes should launch. If it doesn't, you can launch iTunes manually.
In iTunes, you should see your iPhone button appear at the top right next to the iTunes Store button (this is for iTunes 11). Click on that button and you can choose how or what songs you want to sync over to iTunes.

How to put movies from iMac to iPad and use iMovie

I have enjoyed using iMovie on the Mac to create "Trailers" of my family movies. I purchased iMovie for iPad and there are some new interesting "Trailers", different from the ones on the Mac. So I'd like to try them out.
But I cannot figure out how to move .MOV files onto an iPad. (Ironic, I know). Here are the things I've tried.
1. I tried a straight drag and drop when the iPad was connected, from Finder window to iPad on the Device. No go.
2. I tried to create an iTunes playlist of the movie, which works fine on iTunes on the Mac. but
a. It won't show up on iTunes on the iPad, even after making sure it was supposed to be synced and checked
b. It won't show up in iMovie on the iPad
3. I tried to put it into iPhoto on the Mac, and made an 'album' with it. It won't show up on the iPad even after careful syncing.
As a test, i recorded a few seconds of video on the iPad, and of course it works fine. But the videos I am interested in turning into Trailers are movies I have already recorded of my family. "Gee, Wally, isn't there a way to do this?"
Is there any way to put a video from iMac to iPad?

additional info: I found some hint that the iPad can't take just any old movie format, so I used "Convert to format for iPad", an option i had never seen on iTunes on my imac before. But sadly, even the .m4v format of the movie will not show up on the iPad under iTunes nor under iMovie.
I can certainly take an iPad iMovie trailer to the iMac if I 'finish' it, but it is a final a product, so i would have to break it up into all the little sections again.
So I still cannot seem to move a movie file to the iPad iMovie edit window. All my 'finished' iMovies show up under "movies" on the iPad, but never under the iMovie edit window. Hope that's clear.
I want to use those new trailers with my home video.
NEWEST Update, still no joy
I found this tech article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4792 that says i can move an iMovie from iOS to iMovie on my Mac. I followed the steps exactly, but iMovie on teh Mac does not recognize the iMovie Trailer, so the Import button stays grayed out.
so close.
