Transfer to iDisk

Is there anyway to transfer a document created in Pages on my iPad to my iDisk?

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Not at this time. I guess it might be possible when multi-tasking comes to the iPad with iOS 4.2 in November. In the meantime, you'll have to sync through iTunes, saving the file to your hard drive then saving to your iDisk.

Can't Complete File Transfer to iDisk

I have a large (210 MB) PDF file I am trying to load onto my iDisk to transfer it to someone else. The file transfer goes rapidly, displays "Copied 209.6 MB of 209.6 MB (Closing file...) -- Please wait..
And this is displayed forever. It only stops being displayed when I force Finder to quit.
I thought it might be a permission problem but they are set appropriately. I can transfer a file <1MB without problems, although the closing time is longer than I would expect.
Any suggestions?

Well, since I use Earthlink through Time Warner, I am running on similar circuits. Do not have another option. That may be part of the problem.
Apple's interface is another. I consider it to be uninformative. The window appearing causes it to seem that the file transfer took place quickly however if you look more closely and think about it, the transfer rate for the display is too great to be true.
Oh, I wish I had a T-1 line but....
Part of the problem may be that my internet connection is through Airport. An Airport network is not that fast.
After a long period of frustration in transferring files between my computer and that of my wife using Airport, I decided to heck with it and connected us and our printer through an ethernet Gigabit LAN. The speed is great!!
One of these days I will get around to drilling holes in the wall to run the cables through closets, etc., rather than along the hall.

Idisk public folder

Not sure this is the correct place but I cannot get the password to work on letting someone use my public folder. It asks for a password but it is my main password not the one I enter when using the mac tab on System Preferences.

Have you checked and double-checked passwords (keychain) for this iDisk thing?
Sometimes KeyChain FirstAid helps. or Repair permissions(n DiskUtility).
Do you get error messages when you attempt a file transfer to iDisk?
What do you mean "wireless server and .mac settings are not compatible"?
Your statement that you no longer receive email on dot-mac?
It appears that your dot-mac account is getting mail, since you're able to forward it somewhere else.
Do you really mean that whatever mail program you use isn't able to login to the dot-mac mail account?

Idisk public folder won't sync on .mac site

Help my local idisk used to sync perfectly to the main idisk mac site via my public folder, until I recently changed over from a dial up to wireless internet connection. Now isyn works ok, but I cannot upload anything from my local idisk public folder to the main idisk website on .mac.
Anyone with any suggestions would be welcome?
If it helps in any way, I could no longer receive e-mail on my mac.com e-mail address either as the wireless server and .mac settings are not compatible. So now I have to forward all my .mac.com e-mails to my g-mail address which downloads normally into entourage! I think this issue is probably linked to why my idisk won't work, but don't know how to fix it.
Thanks for any help

Idisk public folder with password inaccessible via Safari

My idisk public folder is password protected.
No one (at least using a Mac) can access it using Safari.
They can, however, access it from a Mac using FireFox. (I haven't tried IE).
Is this a known bug. I recall it happening pre-Leopard, as well, so I don't think it's Leopard specific.

How to transfer idisk information to icloud

How do you transfer idisk information to icloud when the icloud home page keeps wanting you to download pages?

You can't do this. iCloud does not provide general file storage in the manner of the iDisk, only 'Documents in the Cloud' which isspecifically for transferring iWork documents between devices.
If youy want online storage you will need to find a third party solution. This page examines some options:

I have a seagate 1tb hard drive and a 16gb memory stick, how do i transfer avi files from one to another as the click drag and drop wont work, please help?

i have a seagate 1tb hard drive and a 16gb memory stick, how do i transfer avi files from one to another as the click drag and drop wont work, please help?

Greetings,
What happens when you drag it?
Make sure the drive you are moving the files to has enough available space to receive the file:
Click on the movie file and go to File > Get Info and note the "size"
Check the drive to which you are moving the file to make sure it has enough available space: https://idisk.me.com/madisonfile-Public/web/finder-drive-available-space-and-for mat.html
Also note the format of the drive you are copying too. If it is not Mac OS Extended or FAT (not recommended unless you are taking it to a windows computer) then that may be the issue.
Hope that helps.

ITunes Data on iDisk

Is it feasible to transfer the entire Music library to either iDisk or, say, Dropbox? I've just ordered one of the new 11-in MB Airs and, because this is the computer I will have with me when travelling, I wish to use it for iPhone synchronisation. I therefore need to keep my Music folder on the Air, despite the limited 128GB capacity. It occurred to me that if I move the library to the cloud I could use the Air for iPhone sync while still having an up-to-date library available on my home computer (for all except iPhone sync, of course).
If this is possible, is it simply a matter of moving the entire Music folder? I seem to remember that OS X expects to find iTunes data in Documents in the main User folder and I'm wondering what problems I would encounter.

Thanks for your input. I had already considered and discounted these alternatives. Music sharing works only within a network and is therefore not an option for away-from-home laptop use. The idea of keeping the main music library on an external disk is certainly a viable option, but falls down on security--the possibility of data loss and, of course, the difficulty in maintaining a regular backup strategy.
Dropbox, which keeps a copy of data on all your computers and keeps them in sync, is a good possibility. As you say, you have to consider bandwidth and storage capacity. However, once the initial sync had been performed, incremental updates would be minor. There is a snag, though: My iTunes library would max out my 64GB HDD on the Air.
In the final analysis all this is directed towards being able to sync my iPhone with any of my three computers, especially with my Air when away from home for more than a few days. I don't need to sync music, just podcasts, applications and, of course, perform a backup. I think I need to go into this further to see if there is a way of doing this without having to have the complete iTunes library on all my machines.

ITouch to iPad - Contacts/Calendar transfer should be a no-brainer; isn't

I've got an iPod Touch, which I'm very pleased with, and I bought an iPad for those times when I didn't need the portability of the iTouch and/or I wanted a bigger screen to work on. Though of course, the iPad has lots of other nice attributes.
The iTouch has my Contacts on it, and my Calendar, with lots of appointments and stuff. I figured it would be easy to sync/transfer them across to the iPad. I figured wrong
I guess Apple still think of these devices as driven off a PC with iTunes, as the early iPods had to be. But, apart from my music, this isn't the case; the Calendar and Contacts on the iPod Touch are typed in there, live there, and aren't synced with anything on the PC. I hope they are *backed up* on the PC, in case of loss, and can be restored from there; but this is all.
So I get the iPad, and I'm still reeling from the fact that it will do nothing without first being connected to a PC (although it's got wifi, even 3G in my case, and can perfectly well get apps and music independently of a PC), though I can see that a PC connection, in good time, could be useful.
Particularly to read my iTouch's backup and sync the stored data to the iPad's Contacts and Calendar. You'd think perhaps; but no go.
Contacts; needs to go via a Windows Address Book. So for the very first time, I sync the iTouch with a WAB, trembling slightly with the fear that iTunes will say 'Oh, let's copy this blank address book all over his existing Contacts'. But it didn't, and all went well.
Apart from the Contacts being sorted all wrong now on the iPad, causing my wife to declare it unusable, until I found that, miles away from the Contacts app, under the Settings app, I could change the default (First, Last) sort to (Last, First). Sheesh. What usability expert decreed that the settings for an app should be anywhere but in that app?
But the Calendar is worse. Apparently, I can only sync it via Outlook, 2003 or greater. So I've got to find a portable DVD drive, plug it in the netbook the iPad is synced with, load up Office, install Outlook on the netbook, which it's never had and doesn't need apart for this, and hope I can get the Calendar part working (or at least installed) enough for this sync, without having to pretend to Outlook that I'm going to connect it to anything.
And thank goodness I've got a free license slot on Office, so at least I don't have the buy the thing just for this - but I'm aware not everyone will have.
'All' that then remains is to sync the iTouch into Outlook, and then sync that out into the iPad.
All of this is not the straightforward user experience I might have hoped for.
Is there an easier way? Someone please tell me there's an easier way.
But I think all this points to a growing disconnect here that Apple needs to get its head around. Early iPods needed the mothership of iTunes on a PC, or they could do nothing at all. The iPod Touch, with wifi, got closer to severing the umbilical cord, but still couldn't quite manage it.
The iPad, with wifi and 3G, should be able to sever the link completely, but it can't. Yet?
And with this historical dependence on the iTunes PC mothership there seems to go the continuing presumption that the iDevice is the slave in a master/slave relationship.
This started to break down when iDevices started being able to get stuff on their own, bypassing the mothership, but I feel like I'm way ahead of Apple in thinking that my iTouch, and especially now my iPad, ought to be a lot more autonomous than they actually are.
But enough polemic. My question is Contect/Calendar transfer, as set out above;
is there an easier way?
Someone please tell me there's an easier way......

MobileMe is $99 a year, but yes, it would meet the needs of the OP very well as well as add some additional features such as iDisk, find my iDevice, mail, gallery, and bookmark syncing for safari and with iOS 4.2 on the iPad in November, it will sync notes as well...

Photo transfer from PC to iPad 2

I know how to sync photos to my iPad from my normally used PC.
I wish to transfer photos from another PC without replacing what I already have stored on the iPad.
Can this be done with iTunes and if so, how? If not, can it be achieved with another app?

There are several ways that you can transfer photographs from your PC to your iPad.
(1) You can synchronise your iPad and PC using the iTunes software on your PC and you can select which photos/albums/folders that you want to copy.
(2) If you only have a few photos to transfer, then you can email them from your PC to your iPad
(3) You can use a third-party app, like GoodReader (see it in the iPad App Store) and that will allow you to copy photos from your PC to your iPad either using WiFi or the USB connection cable that came with your iPad
(4) You can use a 'cloud storage' server, such as Apple's MobileMe iDisk or DropBox to transfer photos from your PC to the cloud storage and then you can download them from the cloud storage to your iPad. If you need to know more about cloud storage have a look at the Apple iPad website and look for MobileMe.
(5) You can use the optional camera connection kit - this will allow you to transfer photos either from an SD memory card directly to your iPad or you can plug the connection kit directly into your camera and upload photos that way.
If you need further details about transferring photo from PC to iPad, just refer the next tutorials.

How to transfer an iWeb site from one MobileMe account to another.

I am creating an iWeb site for a friend. I am doing this using my mac and my MobileMe account. I understand that the iWeb site assets are all stored in my MobileMe iDisk. I want to take the finished site and transfer it to my friends computer and his MobileMe iDisk so he can manage it from there. How do I do this.

If you have your friends MobileMe login details, then you can publish the site to his MMe account directly from your Mac. Go to System Preferences and log out of your MMe account and then into his and then go back to iWeb and then publish the site directly to his MMe account.
As far as giving him the ability to manage the sites, just give him the relevant domain file for the site. Go to User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites and find the domain file and then you can e-mail it to his Mac and he can then put the domain file in the same place on his Mac.
Whatever you do, don't publish the site to your desktop - you won't be able to do anything with it. It is the domain file that you need if your friend wants to manage and alter the site in any way.

Transfer HI8 to One Touch DVD, Need suggestions!

Hey everyone, I have a Hi8 Sony Cam that I have prob 60 tapes of home movies for (Yes I know my dad filmed everything)! I want to first tell you my ultimate goal is to transfer all of these tapes onto DVD's over the course of the next year or so. I want un compressed video and audio, I would like it to be in the same quality that it is on tape just straight across onto DVD. I would like to fit 60 or 120 min on a single DVD-R which I know a single layer can hold. All these movies have been recorded on HI8 or Digital 8 tape, all are 60 min long, and recorded in SP mode.
Anyway, I wanted to ask some opinions here, I just transfered the first tape, capture if you will into iMovie. It is 12G big, and is taking forever to convert as I am exporting it in hopes to burn it to a DVD. Isnt there an easier way? I found the One touch iDVD, and it says you plug your camcorder in, launch that and it transfers it directley to a DVD, that sounds right! But, what if I wanted to add some more footage after that, Does it finalise the DVD after its done burning? I have some family trips that are several tapes long 200 hours+ on some of them. I would love to fit 2 HI8 tapes totaling 120 min on one DVD R but if it finalizes the DVD when its done thats not going to work for me..
Does this make scene? I hope so.. I don't have any intentions of editing the video, I just want to transfer straight across to DVD. If someone could help me out that would be awesome!! Thanks guys!

As stated earlier I don't work with imovie but here are a couple of pages from the imovie 'help' menu:
"Saving your movie as a QuickTime movie"
When you save your movie in QuickTime format, you can play it on computers or publish it on a webpage, a CD, or your iDisk. When you export your movie to QuickTime, you can choose one of these settings:
Email: Best for sending over email.
Web: Best for playing on the web.
Web Streaming: Best for posting on a QuickTime streaming web server.
CD-ROM: Best for playback from CD-ROM drives.
Full Quality: Creates a movie with original quality, preserving the most data possible. Use for movies you want to import into other applications, such as iDVD, DVD Studio Pro, or Final Cut Pro, for further editing.
Expert Settings: Use when you want to customize your export or use other formats and codecs.
Important: The viewer needs QuickTime 7 or later to watch your QuickTime movie.
To save your movie as a QuickTime movie:
Choose Share > QuickTime.
Choose a movie format from the pop-up menu.
Click the "Share selected clips only" checkbox if you only want to share clips you selected.
Click Share.
Name your movie, select a location for the file, and click Save.
The time it takes to save the movie depends on the movie's length and the format you choose".
You want to save it as full quality movie for your purposes but by exporting via QT, you can take that version and later on send it out to web etc. by resetting the parameters but this way you have saved it in the best quality setting.
The Archival Grade is the best you can get . . not sure of the price but in not prohibitive, that's what I would use for your projects. But if too expensive, even the one grade down in the Taiyo would be fine. If you want to imprint the DVD itself, you need to buy the white im-printable version. I use an inexpensive Epson printer that prints the discs fine (don't use paper labels). I use a very simple program called Disclabel.
Any other questions as you work through this, let me (or others on the site) know.

Tracking Data Transfer usage

I have a web-site (web.mac.com/jmiller22) created using iWeb and hosted on iDisk. A little over a month ago I started posting my internet radio show to my web-site as a podcast. The podcast is also available from the iTunes Music Store. I've now started getting e-mails from .Mac as my Data Transfer usage creeps up (90% according to today's e-mail). I run StatTracker on my site and it does a nice job of tracking site visits but it doesn't appear to track downloads. I'm not finding anything on the .Mac site either (apart from disk usage) and I'm not getting any feedback from iTunes (I'm not sure if I really expected any). How do other folks track podcast downloads and other data transfer usage on .Mac?
Power Mac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

James,
I'm doing fine, thanks.
I don't make Podcasts or use these special "feeds" so I'm really not sure of the steps.
iWeb uses special code (the long string identifier) and a javascript file to point to the URL of the file. The RSS created in iWeb and then Published to .Mac does all the magic.
I would think that an edit of the .js file to point to the new location of the file would be all that's needed to keep things working.
Never tired it but it seems like a no-brainer workaround of the bandwidth limits in .Mac service. I guess someone with a file and a server could test the theory.
I've placed many of my "movies" into my iDisk Public folder so one file can do multiple work. It would be the same if I had a different server.
Another method would be to upload the file to the other server first and then make the iWeb page. "Drag" the URL into iWeb and it shouldn't be uploaded to .Mac when the page is published (I think and no way to test).

Using iDisk to colaborate - Weird Errors

Hi all!
Does anyone use their iDisk public folder to trade logic songs with others? How is it working for you? I've just been trying to get my friend who's work I mix quite regularly to use my iDisk to transfer stuff from London up to me, and we've been running into some weird problems.
Mainly it seems that the audio files are becoming corrupted, when opening Logic it says something along the lines of "Audio Recording#3.aif, What kind of file is this?" gives me no option but to say OK!?!?! Then it says, "Some files are 8 Bit", then "4 Invalid regions replaced" sometime less or more than 4 of course. It then opens the session ok and plays. But the timing of the original performance is lost and regions are all over the place. To be more exact, the regions are in the right place but the audio files they reference are wrong, so a vocal may turn into a guitar for example.
First off I thought he may have just had some trouble uploading so got him to re copy the songs, which seemed to remove the file type errors, it stopped saying stuff was in 8 Bit. But the placement of regions is still all wrong, in one case I didn't find this out until I'd mixed it and sent it back to him! We've since transferred for the third time and had more errors.
For your info, he's simply making a Project Copy from Logic Express 7 and putting the folder containing all the audio files, and song file in the public folder of my iDisk, I'm then downloading it and trying to open it in both LP7.2.3 and LP8, both give exactly the same responses.
If anyone has experienced this and knows a work around or has anything else to say about it, it would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Interestingly I had the "Audio Recording#3.aif, What kind of file is this?" problem in a different context. My friend did some files in Digital Performer and sent me the aifs on my idisk (for use in Logic). When I downloaded them some of them came up with this error or wouldn't play.
The strange thing was, each time I downloaded them it was a different set of the files that showed the error. So I just kept downloading until I had the full set. Weird huh? Its the first time I've done it so I've not looked into it much more. Interesting.
