Where do you put PDF books from iMac into iPad?

How do you copy  PDF books from an iMac to an iPad?
I assume you open the iPad on the iMac's desktop and drop the books into the appropriate older  .  .  .  .  but what is that folder? (I'm enquiring for someone else, hence I don't know what they will be seeing).

You can sync them via your Mac's iTunes, the iPad won't mount as a drive on a Mac - an iPad doesn't have a file system like a 'normal' computer, everything has to be stored within an app.
If you want to sync them to the iBooks app on your iPad then you can add PDFs to your Mac's iTunes via File > Add To Library (they will go into the Books part of your library), and you can then sync them by connecting the iPad to your Mac and selecting it on the left-hand sidebar of your Mac's iTunes (if you have iTunes 11 on your Mac then you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S), and the using the Books tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to select and sync them.
If you want them in a different app then how you get it there will depend upon what the app supports e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc.

  • Finding pdf files from imac to iPad 2

    I have some PDF files (2) that I synced to my iPad 2 but I can't find them anywhere on my iPad.  First, I opened iTunes, then went to the Apps, selected Pages, then Add , then Synced... They appear to be then synced to my iPad. Also, I included on Pages document in the sync. 
    In doing a search on my iPad, it does not find the file. I open my Pages app on my iPad, and I have no documents. So where might it be?? Not in iBooks either.
    Thanks.

    It's probably not as "simple" as using DropBox, but it's there. When in the Apps section of iTunes, just scroll down to the bottom where there is a listing of installed apps that can use the iTunes data exchange. Documents available on the computer can be synced TO the device while those available on the device can be syned TO the computer.

  • How to put movies from iMac to iPad and use iMovie

    I have enjoyed using iMovie on the Mac to create "Trailers" of my family movies. I purchased iMovie for iPad and there are some new interesting "Trailers", different from the ones on the Mac. So I'd like to try them out.
    But I cannot figure out how to move .MOV files onto an iPad. (Ironic, I know). Here are the things I've tried.
    1. I tried a straight drag and drop when the iPad was connected, from Finder window to iPad on the Device. No go.
    2. I tried to create an iTunes playlist of the movie, which works fine on iTunes on the Mac. but
          a. It won't show up on iTunes on the iPad, even after making sure it was supposed to be synced and checked
          b. It won't show up in iMovie on the iPad
    3. I tried to put it into iPhoto on the Mac, and made an 'album' with it. It won't show up on the iPad even after careful syncing.
    As a test, i recorded a few seconds of video on the iPad, and of course it works fine. But the videos I am interested in turning into Trailers are movies I have already recorded of my family. "Gee, Wally, isn't there a way to do this?"
    Is there any way to put a video from iMac to iPad?

    additional info: I found some hint that the iPad can't take just any old movie format, so I used "Convert to format for iPad", an option i had never seen on iTunes on my imac before. But sadly, even the .m4v format of the movie will not show up on the iPad under iTunes nor under iMovie.
    I can certainly take an iPad iMovie trailer to the iMac if I 'finish' it, but it is a final a product, so i would have to break it up into all the little sections again. 
    So I still cannot seem to move a movie file to the iPad iMovie edit window. All my 'finished' iMovies show up under "movies" on the iPad, but never under the iMovie edit window. Hope that's clear.
    I want to use those new trailers with my home video.
    NEWEST Update, still no joy
    I found this tech article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4792 that says i can move an iMovie from iOS to iMovie on my Mac. I followed the steps exactly, but iMovie on teh Mac does not recognize the iMovie Trailer, so the Import button stays grayed out.
    so close.

  • Where Do You Put The Un-Ziped Files For...

    The manual is unclear.
    Where Do You Put The Un-Ziped Files for Contact Sheet X in CS4.

    CSX v1.4.2 README
    INSTALLATION:
    If there are previous versions of CSX, be sure to remove them at
    this time. Failure to do so may result in 'Copy' errors during installation.
    Unzip the CSX zip file into a temporary directory. It's location is
    unimportant EXCEPT DO NOT unzip it anywhere your Photoshop application tree.
    Run the InstallCSX script in the top-level directory. You can do this by:
    1) double clicking it
    2) dragging it onto a PS application
    3) running it from inside PS via File->Scripts->Browse
    If your OS is Vista, you will probably need to start Photoshop using
    'Run as administrator' because the installation script needs to install
    CSX into Photoshop folders that are normally protected.
    If you have more than one installation of Photoshop on your computer, you'll
    need to run the installation script for each copy of Photoshop.
    When the installation is complete, you can removed the contents that you
    unzipped before.
    MANUAL INSTALLATION:
    You don't need to do this if you ran the InstallCSX script.
    If there are previous versions of this script, be sure to remove them at
    this time.
    Unzip the distrubution file in your Photoshop Presets/Scripts directory and
    restart Photoshop. "CSX-1_4_2.jsx" should appear in your File->Scripts menu
    in CS2.
    With CS3 and CS4, CSX should appear under File->Automate menu as
    'Contact Sheet X v1.4.2...'.

    With iTunes 11 you can enable the left-hand sidebar via control-S on a PC, option-command-S on a Mac. If you are trying to get it to the iBooks app then with the sidebar enabled the process should be similar to how it was on previous versions of iTunes e.g. add it to your iTunes library via File > Add To Library, connect the iPad and select it on the left-hand sidebar, and then use the Books tab on the right-hand side to select and sync it to the iBooks app.

  • In Iowa, uploaded a library app called wilbor for downloading books from library onto iPad.  Is there an app that goes with this so you can use regular functions of iPad i.e taking notes, highlighting words to find definitions, etc?

    In Iowa, you can upload an app called Wilbur from your library so you can download books from the library. Is there another app that is needed to go with "Wilbur" because you cannot use the regular functions of an iPad such as taken notes, highlight a word for a definition, etc.

    Are you actually talking about the app called Overdrive Media Console?  In any case, if it doesn't have the features you want, you need to ask the author to add them.

  • HT5824 How can you permanently delete books from Ibooks

    How can you permanently delete books from IBooks?

    You cant permanently delete them, but you can hide them.
    Pop into iTunes, and in the iTunes Store under Quick Links along the right hand side, you can see Purchases, and then sign in, look at your books and click on the X in the top left and it will hide them so you dont have to see them.
    Hope this helps.

  • HOW DO YOU REMOVE A BOOK FROM YOUR IPOD?

    HOW DO YOU REMOVE A BOOK FROM YOUR IPOD?

    Do you mean an audiobook?  It will depending on how you have your iPod and iTunes setup.  In the Sidebar, you should be able to expand the items under your iPod so you can see Books.  Then rt click on the audiobook in your iPod's audiobooks and click delete.  If the Sidebar is not open, then on Windows, the Crtl + S key will open it.
    If you're 'Syncing' you iPod to iTunes, there will be other steps to remove the audiobook.  You'd probably need to uncheck the audiobook in iTunes, then re-sync.

    pretty vague question.
    But i'l assume you went through setup assistant and made errors.
    Ignore, proceed, then go back and fix them in the appropriate control panel or application.  Requires a bit more knowledge fo the system or searching around.
    Make life easier and tell us context, error, etc.

    How do you sync mail folders from iMac(lion) to my iPad?

    Is your email account an IMAP account? If not, the folders will not sync.
    If your email account is a POP account, you can create folders and mailboxes in the Mac mail app and those folders will be for local storage and organization on the Mac only. That is a feature of the Mac mail software. Those folders/mailboxes will not sync if you do not have an IMAP account.
