Transferring iTunes U files from iPad to iMac

I don’t seem to be able to transfer a iTunes U lecture video to my iMac. When I transfer purchases, everything transfers but that. Is there an alternate way? Also iTunes does seem to be able to play iTunes U videos on my iMac from my iPad.

Sync seems very broken right now, at least on my macbook/ipad combo (using itunes 10.5.3).
If you start downloads from your ipad, sync doesn't copy back any course documents, and also because they're not on the source mac, get broken in the itunes U app. The video's get copied accross however, and after pulling the cord out and back in again, you can drag the video's that made it to your mac back onto your ipad to replace it.
So say you want the course documents on your mac, and go download them manually from the itunes store, then copy them accross in the same way as the video's.. they make the motions of copying, but just vanish.
Never had problems like this using apple products before. Not sure what the purpose of the Itunes U section in Sync is... Can someone who's successfully synced video's and documents between the iTunes U app and Itunes on the desktop set me straight? I was hoping it worked like apps.. when there's a mismatch syncing resolves itself great for apps...

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.

How to transfer GB music file from iPad to iMac?

Hello to all!
Have created a music file on my iPad Mini and am unable to transfer it to my iMac through AirDrop. With WiFi and Bluetooth on for both, the iMac first shows being connected and then shows not connected to the iPad...stating that it is not supported.
Any leads?
Thanks in advance.

Does your iMac qualify?
See this document:
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203106
In order to transfer files between a Mac and and an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch
your iOS device needs to include a lightning connector
your iOS device needs iOS 7 or later installed
your Mac needs to be a 2012 or later model with OS X Yosemite installed
Your Mac and iOS device both need bluetooth and Wi-Fi turned on. You do not have to be connected to a specific Wi-Fi network.
if your mac does not qualify for Air Drop, use iTunes file sharing or iCloud:
See: Use iCloud with GarageBand
or: Share GarageBand songs (use iTunes....)

Transferring Aperture version files from notebook to iMac ?

Hi
I have been working with my Aperture on my Notebook as I have travelled and would now like to transfer these versions to my i mac Aperture when I get home.
Is this possible and what is the best way to do it ?
Or should I save versions to my Notebook HD and then transfer to my i Mac ?
many thbnks if you can assist .
cheers
Roger

Roger,
Aperture has a "Merge" mode when reimporting an Aperture library, that has been edited, back to the library it has been copied from.
Connect your travel mac to your iMac in target disk mode (OS X Lion: Transfer files between two computers using target disk mode) so that your iMac sees the notebook as a disk (requires Firewire), or copy your Aperture library from the notebook to an external disk.
Then launch Aperture on the iMac and use "File > Import > Library".
When prompted opt for "Merge" not "Add" and select to keep the versions from the Notebook.
See the manual: Working with Library Files, To merge the modified library from the second computer into the library of the first computer
As a precaution I'd repair both the libraries before merging:

Léonie

I transferred settings and files from old MacBook air to new one. New one now gives popup about failing to connect to server (old iMac). the new Mac air and old iMac have never met and are 2000 miles apart. How do I stop the popups?

Change your settings in Sharing preferences, for one, and remove the server out of the Finder's sidebar. Obviously, this is the result of transfering all your other computer's preferences to your new computer.

Transferring old photos from Ipad to Imac using usb cable or local wifi?

Can anyone tell me how I transfer old photos from Ipad to Imac? These were originally on a PC (now disposed of). I can see how to transfer new photos from Camera Roll using Iphoto, but my 10 year archive with 1000s of photos appears stuck on my Ipad. I have a very slow internet connection, so I can't send them across by email and would like a solution involving the usb cable if possible.
Worryingly this question appears several times in old threads but appears to be unanswered, but I will be pleased to be referred to the right thread with all the answers - if it exists!
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me.

Connect the iPad (USB) to your Mac then launch the Image Capture app. It's located in your Applications folder.
You can import photos from the iPad using that application.
You can even designate where you want to the photos stored on your Mac and which app you want to use for editing from the bottom of the Image Capture window.

And I want to transfer this mp3 files from iPad to MacBook Pro.
I don't know how to do it and it seems like I should 'buy some tranfer program from other website'.

However after I disconnected the iPad from the Mac, those changes were not shown in the iPad (edited album name, artist name...). When I connect the iPad to the Mac again, I can see the changes in iTune in the Mac.
Another issue.

There are two paid apps that can transfer just about any type of file; TouchCopy and PhoneView

I recently purchased a new iMac with an external drive. I want to transfer my files from my old iMac to the external drive, but I'm afraid that doing that will compromise the use of the external drive on my new iMac. Comments? Help?

I recently purchased a new iMac with an 1 Terrabyte external drive. I want to transfer my files from my old iMac to the external drive, but I'm afraid that doing that will compromise the use of the external drive on my new iMac. I have not downloaded the external drive's software onto my old Mac because of this concern. May I simply "drag and drop" the contents I want transferred to the external drive, then set up my new Mac with the drive and download there? or is there a better procedure? Comments? Help?

If your intention is to copy a just documents and data (word processing files and music for example) then yes, you can use drag and drop. If you want to transfer data and applications and permissions, it would actually be easiest to connect the drive to your old computer and turn on TimeMachine. Once TM is finished, connect the drive to your new computer and restart it holding the option key to get into Recovery mode. Then you can use the restore from TM option to transfer your data and programs to the new computer.

How do I save files from iPad to Dropbox without connecting to computer?

I understand how to move files from iPad to a computer using email or ITunes. I would like to be able to save a word processing file directly from my iPad wirelessly to my Dropbox folder. I have tried several apps without success, including Pages Copy to WebDav (I get an error even though I think I have entered the user name and password right; is there a special way to designate the server address). Anyway is there a method or an app that will allow me to save a Word or text file from Ipad to Dropbox. Thanks for your help.

I assume that you have Pages and the DropBox app on the iPad ... so do this and it will work.
From Pages - email the file to yourself. Tap the Wrench icon and select Share and Print - and then select Email Document. Select the file type from the pop up window - then email the document.
Go to the mail app - open the email - tap and hold down on the document icon - select Open in - Open in DropBox.

Backing up e-books from iPad to iMac

Hi! I use different apps: Stanza, Kobo, GoogleBooks, Kindle and iBooks, of course. How do I back it up to PC? "Transfer purchases" only syncs iBooks, and it does not deal with Stanza etc. Hundreds of books I've got for free from Stanza are not free any more. I'd hate to loose them. So, how do I get actual e-books FILES from iPad to my iMac?
Thank you
