Another way to transfer. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

Possibly.
You could test that by dropping a largish image into a test Pages document and duplicating it until your document won't send.
Some eMail clients have ceiling levels for file sizes, as do some receiving servers.
Also test to see if you can simply export your file to pdf, in which case it will be retained on your iPad. That would be a first step.

How can I transfer files from my mac to my iPad, e.g., mp4 files. Do I have to use iTunes?

How can I transfer files from my mac to my iPad in an easier way? I'd like to put some movies on, and I can use iTunes, but is there another way? I have transferred epub books using Dropbox. Movies eat up a lot of dropbox space and the iPad has trouble getting them.

USB disk. You still have to go through iTunes.
Connect device to computer/mac
Select your device in iTunes menu.
Apps...
At thebottom of the page you will see the app.
Select it and the Add for windows and + for mac
Hope that helped.
In the long run there is no way to access or uplood data on your device without iTunes unless you JailBrake....

How transfer file from garageband mac to garageband iPad?

how transfer file from garageband mac to garageband iPad?

In answer to the question:
how transfer file from garageband mac to garageband iPad?
Transfering a file from Garageband on the Mac to Garageband in the iPad is not just a case of putting it in iTunes as a number of people seem to state. The XML package which is the Garageband Song File has to be changed before a Garageband Mac file will be downloadable to the iPad. This can be done manually but is time consuming and tedious. After doing it manually a few times and making mistakes, I have created an Applescript Application to do this called:
Garageband Mac to iPad Oneshot Converter
I have made a video of the converter in use which I have post on my Youtube ' fixed1t ' pages. This Application and the video solves the question above and shows the song file on the mac being moved and running on the iPad.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ruT-dUhh2c
There is a link on the Description of the fixed1t youtube video to enable viewers to download a trial version. The link will also allow viewers to purchase a copy once you have tried i, but you are under no obligation to purchase and the trial is completely free. I am selling it for £5 UK and I will receive over £4 of this should you decide to purchase using the PayPal link.
Please try it out and give me feedback, even if you don't wish to buy it.
Thanks Malcolm (aka fixed1t)
I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.

How can I transfer photos from my mac to my iPad?

How can I transfer photos from my mac to my ipad?

If you are have iTunes 11 on your Mac then you may want to re-enable the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar (option-command-S on a Mac), which might make it easier to navigate.
To sync photos, connect and select your iPad on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes, and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders (or iPhoto ro Aperture albums) to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad (unless you want to remove all synced photos), instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.

Why can't i transfer movies from a mac to my iPod Touch?

I have Macbook pro. i put a movie (disk) in the Mac. Than i turn on Finder and iTunes.Than i plug my ipod into the computer and go to the on my iPod section of iTunes. Then i go to finder and grab the movie and move it to the movies section of on my ipod. For a minute it looks like it's going to load it on to my ipod. But than it just stops! N-E-E-D H-E-L-P!

You cannot transfer anything this way.
If this is a home movie, then you would have to add it to itunes, then sync it to the ipod.
If it is a dvd movie/show that you purchased, then you cannot legally copy it at all.

I have a Sony handycam DCR HC46E I also then have IMovies version 10 I am trying to transfer movies from my tapes to I Movies. I am connecting using an ILink cable 9 Pin to 4 Pin. The camera is not appearing in IMovies?

I can see DV in Link in th top right of the camera screen so it appears that the two are connected (if I remove the cable then this disappears). I have tried turning off the Mac and then turning back on with the camera turned on and connected to the Mac, still not being seen?
Not sure where to go?

I have a "P-menu", and a "standard set" but I cannot see an a/v button. It seems to make sense in a way though because the ILink says DV in, not out which is what I am looking for. So I cannot change it to DV out.
Hope you get yours sorted.
Thanks

How do I organize my photos into events and then move from my mac to my Ipad

New to mac. Have moved 3000 pictures to Iphoto. How do I organize into events and then download those events to my ipad?

Have a look at the tutorials here

Essentailly, your photos are broken into Events automtically. You sync with your iPad via iTunes.

How can I transfer books from my Mac to my iPad without using iTunes?

?

I can get books into iBooks on my ipad easily enough by just emailing them to myself or using Dropbox. The problem with that route is that it loses the book's genre, which must be something iTunes handles separately from the file.
Anyone have any ideas on how to retain the genre metadata outside of iTunes?

More information would help. How is the external connected? Does the external appear on your Desktop? Has the external been formatted for a Mac? What method do you use to transfer files? When you try to move a file to the external, what does happen?
