Transfering docs from iPad to Mac doesn't work

I have 2 iPads: iPad 1 and iPad 2. I bought iPad 2 a month ago and –using Snow Leopard– I could
transfer all my documents from iPad 1 to my Mac. After that, I loaded my new iPad 2 with the same
documents from Mac. I have updated to Lion and to iTunes 10.4 but now I see that I can't transfer
the documents from my iPads. For example, when selecting GoodReader, I can see only a partial
list of documents (in both iPads), so I could never transfer the whole set of documents. There is now
another problem: I selected this partial list of documents in order to transfer them to Mac, but when
the transfer process detect a folder, the transfer stops indicating an error. In the following figure,
BPM-SOA is just a folder, and it only says "an error is produced" and "the file is not found" without further information.
I deduce this problem is relatied with Lion/iTunes 10.4 as the same iPad 1 from which I tranfered all
my documents, now it only shows the partial list of documents (ending in NUI Natural User...) but I
have documents whose names begin with 'Z'. So, the set of documents between N and Z dissapeared
while when I transfered all the documents with Snow Leopard and iTunes 10.3 all worked fine and I have
a folder with the complete list of documents. I have a MacBook aluminiun, 13'' , 2 Gz Intel Core 2 duo, 4 Gb RAM,
an iPad 1 wifi 32 Gb and an iPad 2 wifi 64 Gb.

the GoodReaderUSB tool allows you to transfer entire folders into GoodReader without loosing the folder/file structure. also you can do the same in reverse using the tool. ie transfer everything from your iPad back onto your desktop.
Windows: http://www.goodiware.com/usb/GoodReaderUSBWin_200.zip
Mac: http://www.goodiware.com/usb/GoodReaderUSBMac_202.zip
also, I'm not affiliated with this tool in anyway, its just very very useful.

Sync notes from iPad to iPhone doesn't work.

I have iPad 2 for about a year. It has 14 Notes in it. Yesterday I got an iPhone5 and everything sync'd EXCEPT Notes.
Only 4 of the notes sync to iCloud and transferred to iPhone. The others didn't. I even modified every single note and tried again, only the 4 notes sync'd.
In iPad Notes settings (and also on the Notes app) I discovered there is a "Default Account" and the 4 notes that sync to iCloud & iPhone have an account set to iCloud but the other notes that won't are all listed as "On My iPad". I presume this is the source of my sync problem.
There is no similar setting on the iPhone regarding a Default Account on the Notes app or settings for the Notes app.
I see lots of discussion about Note sync problems but nothing specifically as I describe regarding changing the default acct.
How do I fix this? I tried setting Default acct iCloud, modifying the notes after this change but only the same 4 Notes sync to iCloud.
Thanks, Jon

For the record, I copied Notes that didn't sync into an email and sent to iPhone. Copied notes from the emails into new note on iPhone. then deleted Note from iPad that were in the "on my iPad" account and now they seem to sync ok.
Fortunately I only had to do this for a few Notes. This solution is a real kludge and with all the complaints from other users about syncing I am astonished Apple hasn't published a solution.

How do I PREVENT transferring purchases from iPad to Mac?

I have limited space on my MacBook air, I don't not want my iPad purchases transferring. How can I stop this?

I sync (over wifi) my ipad3 to my 2011 MBA (running mountain lion) to transfer photos from iphoto on my mac.
Unfortunately every time I do that iTunes tries to transfer my purchased videos from my ipad back to my mac. If I dont sync and use iCloud (which I do for everything else) how do I transfer the iPhoto albums?
I don't want to use dropbox to manually copy albums from iPhoto nor is possible to send photos from a mac to an ipad using photostream yet, correct?
Is there a solution, apart from waiting for new version of iTunes which will finally realise that people use iCloud for purchases???
(of course the video sync box if OFF on iTunes but it still wants to transfer the purchases).

I can't login on iCloud from iPad 2, it doesn't work.

I can login from Macbook, iPhone, iPod but from the iPad it says wrong username or password.
I just changed the password, but i still have the same problem. Any suggestion?

"Log in to iCloud" may mean many things:
Is your Apple ID and password not accepted at Settings > iCloud?
Are you trying to literally sign in at http://www.icloud.com? The setup of that website is completely different on an iPad than on a computer.
What are the exact symptoms? What are you trying to do?

Transferred code from PC to MAC - PrintWriter NOT working

Hey guys,
I wrote a script which created a JFrame with a few buttons on my PC and had everything working nicely. The toggle button (after it's released) is supposed to output a .txt file with a few lines of data on it, but no longer works on my MAC. It's also interesting that the .setBackground() function (where I change their displayed color) no longer works either yet the setEnabled() command still does (both are under ActionListener instances).. There are no errors on my script and I'm curious to know what is going on.
Here is my code:

You might consider explaining what "not working" means.

I transferred a pages file from ipad to mac (also pages) via email for editing. However received message that cannot save edited document to the mac because "trial period has expired for iwork"! I have purchased pages for both machines separately. Ideas?

I transferred a pages file from ipad to mac (also pages) via email for editing. It opened normally. However, after editing, received message that cannot save edited document to the mac because "trial period has expired for iwork"! I have purchased pages for both machines separately and presumed they would work without a hitch. Am I missing something?

It used to be that to update the trial to the licensed version with the box, you just inserted the DVD & ran the installer to convert the trial to licensed. This changed with Snow Leopard. You now need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his iDisk in For_iWork > iWork '09 > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

HT5409 can i convert movies from iPad to mac laptop

Ihave download a movie from ipad but it will not play on my mac air laptop with quicktime installed..??

Ihave download a movie from ipad but it will not play on my mac air laptop with quicktime installed..??
Are you going to give us any additional clues as to what you are really asking here?
1) The "HT5409" in your subject title reference implies you are dealing with AVCHD content. If true, then how did you transfer them to your iPad and how did you transfer them from your iPad to your your MacBook Air platform? As the HT409 topic clearly stated, this can be very important. In addition, how are the files stored? For instance , have you extracted the MPEG-4 AVC content as transport streams or is the content still in the device recorded file form? Are you trying to edit the content or convert it to M4V, MP4, or MOV files directly?
2) The "can i convert movies from iPad to mac laptop" part of your subject title is confusing. Yes, AVCHD files can be converted to simpler MPEG-4 AVC content that is compatible with all current and most older Mac computers and Apple mobile devices in MOV, MP4, and/or M4V file formats. However, how you do this will depend on the current form of the data and the target settings you wish to employ to ensure compatibility with the various target device possibilities. Further, non-AVCHD content (e.g., HD iPad video recordings) can also be downconverted to simpler settings in a similar manner if needed or required if that is your questing.
3) Depending on your operating system, both AVCHD and MPEG-4 AVC content should already be compatible with QT X v10.2 and v10.3 players if properly transferred to your laptop from the recording device. And, even if improperly transferred, may still be converted to useable/compatible formats as long as the file itself has not been corrupted by your, as yet, unspecified workflow.
4) What does "will not play on my mac air laptop with quicktime installed" mean here? Are you trying to play an AVCHD movie in the QT 7 player or one of the QT X players? If the latter, which one? Are you getting any error message? If so, what are they? If not playing in your main user account on the computer, does it play useing a different account? Do the files play in other, third-party multimedia players?
Basically, your question is the equivalent of my saying my car won't start but failing to mention whether or not I am out of gas, my battery is dead, or that I have removoed the distributor cap, wires, or spark plugs from the engine. To properly solve the issue we need all possible information that you can provide describing exactly what you are doing, how you are doing it, what is not working as your expect it should, and what your goals are. In cases where you cannot answer such questions, it is often helpful to simply post/upload a sample "problem" file and let other users here examine it to determine the problem and/or suggest a specific solution for your particular system/configuration combination.

ITunes u doesnt sync from ipad to mac

HI,
itunes U doesn't sync from ipad to mac, it works from mac to ipad.
I've all the software updated.
if i subscribe a course in the ipad a can't see it in my mac after sync, if i subscribe on the mac i find the course in the ipad.
how i fix it?
thanks
Gabriele

I have exact same problem that will not resolve with all troubleshooting. Only downloaded content on device will sync; subscriptions without downloaded content on the iOS device will not appear on desktop iTunes at all after full sync of iTunes U. Have sent a bug report to Apple and will hope that they fix the bug in the next release! In solidarity.

I have recently transferred data from my old Mac to my new one. The result was good, but I have 2 users now, whose data I want to merge into 1 single user, so to avoid having to switch from one user to the other to view and use certain files. How to do it

I have recently transferred data from my old Mac to my new one. The result was good, but I have 2 users now, whose data I want to merge into 1 single user, so to avoid having to switch from one user to the other to view and use certain files. How to do it?

Here's an easy way:
Pick the user that you want to eliminate (making sure that the remaining user has administrator privileges) and move all of the data that you want to keep into the Shared folder. Reboot or log out and login to the user you want to keep. Copy all the data from the Shared folder into your account - placing it neatly in folders (Documents, Music, Movies, etc.).
Once the data is moved, log into the account you want to delete just once more to make certain that you've grabbed all the data you want to keep. Log out and log back into your admin account and go to System Preferences>Users & Groups and delete the 'old' user.
That should do it.

I have problems transferring files from PC to Mac and from Mac to Mac

I have problems transferring files from PC to Mac, and from Mac to Mac. PC to PC is fine. Nothing but problems with the Mac. One example:
While working on my PC, I open shared folders on an external HDD connected to the Mac. I click on paste to move the files. I get an error after a few seconds to a minute of trying to move several files from my PC Win 7 to Mac OS Maverick, that there is a file already at the destination on Mac. This statement is true, but it was just put there because I am copying them over in that same action. It reads 0Kb and wasn't there before I started. Then I get an error: The Action Cannot be completed because the folder is open in another program. Close the folder or file and try again..
Whether I click on it a bunch right of way or wait, it still takes about 45 seconds. I have to do it with every file and it only happens when copying from a PC to Mac. I have even restarted both computers so nothing is using any files. If I copy one file at a time, I don't get any error.
So I have one file to move, no problem. If move 5 files, The first will go fine, but it shows all 5 files in folder at once. All other files than the first show 0kb. I get the file already existing error once it starts the second file transfer, and I select move and replace. Then I get The Action Cannot be completed because the folder is open in another program. I wait or click repeatedly until it starts to move file. That file will then show something other than 0kb. When it is done, the error process starts all over. I tried checking the PC with unlocker, but the files do not show themselves locked on the PC.

Its not only French. Even certain characters in English will come across as gobblydegook from 1 platform to another. I see this in emails that likely were composed in Word & the characters don't come across.
Not sure if this is still true, but years ago someone explained that there is a standard character set & then I think its extended characters & those vary from platform to platform or language to language, etc.

How do i transferring video from iphone to mac

I don't believe OS X has the ability to receive AirPlay (which is what you're using). There's some advice on the matter on the Wikipedia page, though:

Scroll down to "Third-party software implementations".

Transferences from ipad to mac

How we can transfer music from IPAD to Mac without without using sincronization process.

There are 3rd party solutions available that are not supported by Apple. You will have to search for information how to do this elsewhere. If you legally purchased the music from iTunes you can contact Apple and they may assist you in redownloading your music depending on the circumstances.
I strongly recommend that if your music is obtained from outside the iTunes store that you purchase iTunes match for $24.99 a year as this will ensure a copy of all your music is always available for download from Apple through iCloud.
