Transfer PDF's and books to iPad without erasing other files

I've seen a couple of posts about this issue but I haven't been able to resolve this problem. If I try to sync PDF's or books from my iMac iTunes to my iPad I get this warning -Are you sure you want to sync books? All existing songs, movies and TV shows on the iPad “Marc Barnett’s iPad” will be removed. iTunes File Transfer doesn't seem to find these files that I have on iTunes. Any other ideas? Thanks.

Have you tried emailing the PDF as an attachment?

Connect the iPad to your computer then launch iTunes.
Select the iPad under Devices left side of the iTunes window.
You can sync photos and PDF files from the Photos and Books tabs in the menu.

Is there anyway to open a mobi format book on ipad without installing the kindle app but any other app

Have you tried GoodReader? It claims to handle very large file sizes and it's very good for annotations. It's my PDF reader of choice on the iPad
From the GoodReader manual:
File types to view in GoodReader
There are two types of viewing engines - the ones that we've written ourselves, and the built-in device's standard viewing engine. Our own engines provide great flexibility and many additional features not found in the built-in engine (for example, opening very large files). The built-in engine is very powerful and knows many file formats, but has many limitations and no additional features.
Files of very big size (our own viewing engine):
very large PDF files (including password-protected). File size is not the limit. Revolutionary PDF Reflow (Extract Pure Text) mode. See Viewing PDF Files for details.
very large TXT files. See Viewing TXT Files for details.
high-resolution pictures and other graphic files (including slideshow viewing mode). See Viewing Pictures for details.
And as a free bonus - files of normal size (iOS standard viewing engine):
all file formats supported by Safari engine: Microsoft Office files - Word, Excel, PowerPoint, HTML files and Safariwebarchives
iWork'08/09 files - Pages, Numbers, Keynote (files must be saved with Include Preview option)
.ai files saved with PDF Compatible option
audio files (natively supported by iOS)
video files (natively supported by iOS)

The easiest method is to setup an iCloud account, turn on Contacts syncing in Settings > iCloud on both devices, and the Contacts from the iPhone will sync to the iPad.

Transfer photos from iPhone 4 to iPad without going through iTunes

Can I transfer photos from my iPhone to iPad without needing to use iTunes to sync?

You have a Mac, so essentially iPhoto (or Aperture, depending on what you have) stores and organizes photos. I find this very useful, because although 99.9% of my photos are from a real camera, I do occasionally take photos with my iPhone, possibly more now that I have an iPhone 4.
iTunes, as annoying as it can be at times, let's you organize what photos are moved to the iPad and iPhone. It really is easy, even for a rank beginner.
Apple also keeps a closed system for these products. Again, annoying at times, but mostly it works. You should read stories about the Android system where apps work or don't work depending on seemingly random movements of the planets. There might be something out there if you look hard, but you'll be frustrated with what happens.
I'm very happy how I control photos with Aperture, iPhone, iPad and iTunes in combination. Switch out Aperture and iPhoto, and you'll be fine too.
But, if there's a particular reason why you don't like the combination, drop a note here, and we'll try to help out.

Does anyone know of an e-reader app for the iphone that has text to speech capability? I have a Kindle 3G that can read whole pdf documents and books but I cannot figure out how to do it on my iphone 4.

Does anyone know of an e-reader app for the iphone that has text to speech capability? I have a Kindle 3G that can read whole pdf documents and books but I cannot figure out how to do it on my iphone 4.
All of the apps I have found on the App store either do not have the text to speech capability or if they have it they will only read a page at a time or simply read the text you paste into their window. I really do not understand what is so difficult about having this feature as Kindle provides it--though Amazon does not make the feature available on its iPhone 4 app.
Please help.

thanks. yes i am aware of the VoiceOver feature but it is NOT the solution to my problem. as you said, it is a solution to a different set of issues. i want the text to speech ability because i there are books i need to read but do not have the time to sit down and read them and have become used to listening to them read to me either by a professional human reader or with the text to speech software on the Kindle.
I think Apple makes the best audio devices but i am really disappointed in this inexplainable shortcoming. if apple can give us siri they ought to be able to design a nice little button that i can push to turn on text to speech while i am in a document, book, magazine or webpage. clearly it is possible as apple has added the "reader" button in safari to have web pages dropped into the reader format.
thanks for your suggestion though, it is what everyone suggests but it does not address the issue.

How to transfer the picture and video from ipad to pc

I want to transfer the picture and video from ipad to pc while we restoring the ipad?

To copy photos and videos to your computer that were taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page - on a PC you can use the windows camera wizard.
To copy photos and videos in the Photos app that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.
If you are going to restore to your last backup then you may also want to copy any purchases from the iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases.

I have an IPad with a Restriction code that we cannot remember. Is it possible to delete and restore the IPad without the code? If not how do I figure out the code or how t? o remove it?

I have an IPad with a Restriction code that we cannot remember. Is it possible to delete and restore the IPad without the code. If not how do I figure out the code or how to remove it?

The only option is to wipe the device clean and restore it to factory settings. Hope you have a backup.
Follow the instructions in iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 to restore the device to factory settings.
Once you have setup the device as a new one, you can then sync it back with your iTunes account and all your music, apps, contacts and any other content sync'ed with iTunes will be loaded on the device. Any content that is stored only on the device and not sync'ed with iTunes, like app logins or data, will be lost during this process. Be forewarned that this is a long process and can take a couple of hours or more to complete. This can be painful, but it is necessarily so to prevent users from working around the security settings. After the restore is complete, you can setup a new Restrictions passcode. Make a note of the passcode to avoid this situation in future.

Load a development app into an iPad without erasing the ipad

Hi
I have a personal license.
I noticed that when i want to load an application into a new ipad, i have to connect it to MY ITUNES,
and that will erase all the existing applications on that ipad.
This is really troublesome if i want to load an application onto a customer's ipad, for example.
Anyone know what should I do instead?
Thanks,

hi colin thanks for your help.
i m a pc user...
After some trial and errors i finally managed to distribute my apps onto multiple ipads without erasing them using adhoc certificate.
This is really cool!
I have summarized my steps in this post here:

Can I sync only a book from a newly downloaded itunes to my ipad without erasing all the other music etc since it's synced to another computer?

I'm traveling and in an area that does not have wifi. However I do have LAN access. So I put a new copy of itunes on my laptop and downloaded a book I want to put on my ipad. How do I get the book from this new itunes to my ipad? Can I sync just the book without erasing everything else since I'm synced to my main computer which I do not have any access to?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi again. Chris is talking about an Adhoc network. Make sure your PC wifi is enabled, then clck start and browse to control Panel. Open your Network Connections folder (name may be different depending on windows version).
You need to create a new wireless network called an Adhoc network. Note on most windows setups, it will not accept a WPA2 type password (bug I think). Try one first and if it fails, try with the WEP password. Take note of the prompt on type of input for the password and remember certain multi digit and numerals used consecutively will be rejected by the ipad.
When the wizard finishes. Close Network folder and click on your network icon in the system tray on your task bar. Click Connect to a network - then select your new Adhoc network and click connect. It will then start to advertise itself.
Go to your ipad Settings\Wifi and tap on Other. Enter your Network name in the top, then tap on tab belwo and set the password strength - WPA2 WEP etc. Go back a page and enter your password then Click Join. If the password is accepted it will join. If not go back to Network Settings and delete the previous Adhoc network (Dont try and reuse it) Create another one with a different name and try a different password srength.
If it does not work with a WEP - it could be a required Service is not running on your PC
Go to your Start button, and in the search area that appears type in Services - then hit enter. he Search explorer window should open with Services shortcutin Administrative Tools folder showing. Double Click it.
The following Services should be as follows
Workstation - Automatic, running
WLAN Autoconfig - Automatic, running
Telephony - Manual, started
TCPIP Netbios Helper - Automatic, started
SSDP Discovery (required to advertise your network presence) Manual, started
Server - Automatic Delayed Start, started
Security Centre - Automatic Delayed Start, started
Secure Sockets Tunnelling Protocol Service - Manual, started
Remote Access Connection Manager - Manual, started
ditto Auto connection Manager - Manual - stopped (runs when required)
Network List Service - Automatic, started
Network Connections - Manual, started
Function Discovery Resource Publication (required for some local sharing by some windows programs even when not connected to a work network - Automatic, started
Function Discovery Provider Host - Manual, Started
Extensible Authentication Protocol - Manual. started
DNS Client - Automatic, started
Base Filtering Engine - Automatic, started
Background Intelligent Transfer Service - Automatic delayed start, started
Application Experience - Automatic, started
Whilst at it, check Apple Application Management, Bonjour, and ipod services are all automatic and started when checking your services settings.
A full listing of default services can be found At Black Viper - use the NormalDefault settings for your system.
N.B. You may need to be in Admin user account if you need to alter the property sheets of any of these services - particularly the Apple three.
Also note that some sytems do require the UPnP Device Host to be Automatic, started; to accept third party vendor equipment connections. I have a vaio and when I have set mine to manual, I have had some problems in the past.
If you have Antivirus and/or windows firewall or a third party firewall enabled, when the connection goes live you will be asked to define its type. Choose Local or Trusted.
Lastly, when you disconnect from your Adhoc network, it can sometimes stop the associated service (found only in the registry) - you may need to log off and back on again to reconnect.
hope this helps, best regards, Ct
P.S

How can i transfer my stuff from ipod to ipad without a computer

Is there anyway possible to transfer directly from ipod touch to ipad? I don't have acces to a regular computer and have things I need to transfer over.

Hi dsteineke,
With iCloud you don't need to transfer many things because they are available to all devices set up under your iCloud account.
Here is a link that will give you an overview of all of the various content that you can share without syncing:

Transfer pdf or word documents to ipad from macbook

how can i transfer pdf and words documents of my iMac to an ipad 2

Many options, depending on what you want to do with them.
mail them to yourself
use iTunes
use the desktop transfer programs that go along with Office Suite apps (i.e. Documents to Go, Quickoffice, etc)
use Goodreader (a PDF/document reader as well as a file transfer and management app)
use a cloud storage app (such as Dropbox or Sugarsync).
If you want to edit the documents, you'll need an app that can do so. If you just want to read them, you have more options.

How do I load pics and music onto ipad without another computer

I bought a IPAD 2 after my home computer crashed. I had all of my Pictures and Music saved on an external hard drive. Problem is I don't have a personal computer to load all of them onto to transfer to my IPAD? Please help!!!

Unless I am missing something, you can't transfer the music and photos from an external drive to the iPad. You need a computer that has an operating system that can move the files from the drive to the computer and then to the iPad. Or you could sync the content from the drive, I think, but you still need an operating system in order to make the transfer work.
