Cannot transfer files from iPad to MacBook

Personally, I understand better than anything else of directories.   I guess that when you connect the iPad to the MacBook using the USB connection - you cannot move pictures as you would with any other device connected as a drive.

Okay, so what now?

I was with my iPad to take shots (my first mistake).  Due to the number of falls that I ran out of memory and it stopped everything - now I do not know how to remove the iPad videos and placed them on my MacBook.

At first, when I plugged the iPad for the Macbook using the USB I had an application that seemed to allow you to "import" - I did.  Or do I think that I did.   Where it matters to I don't have any idea.  Directories of meaning for me - but whatever the application is - I had zero indicating where the photos/empty went.  I've been good with that - thinking I could use the find command to locate my videos at a later date.

But now this mysterious request automatically don't invoke not himself.   = / I cycled the power on my iPad - with no luck.

I've heard that iTunes could be a portal for the transfer of files form an iPad with other devices.   I opened iTunes on my MacBook with the iPad connected - but nothing obvious jumped out to me (as a directory) that allows me to easily move these videos.

I guess I should buy some type of camcorder.

In any case - if there is a simple way to transfer files from an iPad to a Macbook (for example a directory) then let me know.  I'd appreciate it really.

Thank you

Please understand that I want to say this quite constructive feedback.  I suggest a change in your way of thinking.

I suggest that you leave the point of view of directory at the door when you work with an iPad and a Mac.  Apple devices tend to use directories to answer the question 'how', something is done.  But the "how" may change from time to time.

However, if you focus on 'what' to do (for example, move pictures to the iPad for the Mac), you'll realize the functions (applications) on both ends that manipulate your data.

On the end of the iPad, this app is Photos.  And on the side of Mac, that request is probably too Photos - assuming that your Mac operating system is up-to-date.

So, check in the Photos of the Mac app and see if your photos are here.  Absolutely, do not worry about the Photos app directories used to store these photos.  If you need to send them elsewhere, export Photos of Macs.

  • Motorcycle G 3rd GEN cannot transfer files from internal memory to SD card.

    Hello

    I recently bought this mobile and updated the marshmallow immediately. I formatted the SD card to internal storage and I have no problem to move applications (a little), but I'm unable to move or copy the music or files.

    There seems to be no the mobile option (settings > storage & USB), since the applications themselves (like Google Play or Gallery), or from the camera to set the default value for the storage location.

    I tried for hours to check in different forums, but I'm not able to find anything conclusive.

    All I can do is Exchange of files between my PC and the internal memory, but I can't access the SD card in the PC (I already read that it is impossible, as it is encrypted), but what I didn't expect is unable to do the same between the internal memory and the SD in my phone.

    Anyone has a solution or explanation or why I can't do this?

    Thanks in advance.

    Oh Hi, me again.

    I found a solution and I want to post here, just in case someone has a similar problem.

    Apparently, the first time that I formatted my internal SD card it was didn't appropriately. I don't know why, but it happened.

    From settings > storage & USB > SD card > tap the three vertical dots on the upper left corner and choose "as portable Format. I advise you to remove all apps before do it for return to the internal memory of the mobile. Once empty to proceed, you can choose the same menu last for formatting as internal (again). Follow all the steps in the procedure to move the files to the memory of your mobile phone to the SD card.

    I did and I can transfer files from my computer it, music, videos, photos and everything.

    Great!

  • How to transfer music from ipad to macbook pro and legacy applications

    Hello everyone, how can I make old apps and music that are no longer available in the shop for a new device? backups are actually more backups, but more like 'index' that allow the new device "re-download" your previous purchases. The problem is: if old apps, they are no longer in the store and music that was imported from the CD thank you!.

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not that a transfer backup device and media has been planned with you keep a master copy of your media on a computer that is in itself independently supported against loss.  To use a device with a different configuration, you pass the old library from a computer or a backup directly in the new configuration, not the device to the library. Synchronization of media isn't a way, computer device, update the contents of the device to the content on the computer, update or restore the content on a computer from a device. The exception is media to iTunes Store purchases that can be transferred to a computer.

    Redownload or transfer your iTunes Store purchases an iPhone, iPad or iPod to computer - https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201267 - 'this feature only works for content purchased from the iTunes Store. From iOS9 is more apps that now need to be re-downloaded directly from the store.

    To transfer other items from an i-device to a computer, you will need to use third-party commercial software.  See this document in turingtest2: recover your iTunes library from your iPod or device iOS - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991 even this method can fully recover what you originally had in the library. For example, in order to save space during synchronization if you had converted music files at a lower rate, or photos at a lower resolution, it is these lower quality files that will pick you up.

    If you subscribe to the Apple music, titles that are not part of the content that you have purchased or downloaded may not be transferred and must be downloaded directly from iCloud.

    I do it with a G4 OS Tiger and the Mavericks MacBook by plugging into an Ethernet jack on my router and by enabling the sharing of files on the G4 in System Preferences > sharing.  If items are placed in a folder called 'Public', it can be read by anyone on the network by logging in as a guest.

  • Transfer videos from iPad to PC (Win7)

    Recently, I had a pretty catastrophic HARD drive failure. Fortunately, I was able to recover most of my data, with the exception of a number of videos that have been in my folder of iTunes - video of my cousin sing, my recently deceased dog, have a wonderful time in the snow, etc.

    I discovered that all those missing videos have been loaded in my iPad 1 Air (128GB, ongoing enforcement 8.1 because I dare not updated and risk losing the videos) in the videos section of my videos App, of course it's new exciting.

    You will need to get a 3rd party software to be installed on the computer to access these files. TouchCopy is one that works on the Windows platform. It is Wide Angle Software. What you may not be able to do away with the free version, but if they are as important as you say, a minor charge is worth. I used it before you access and save the voicemail messages and it will do several other tasks as well.
