How To Transfer Files To Your iPhone Or iPad (For Beginners)

A friend of mine recently called me, frustrated, because he couldn’t figure out how to get PDFs on his iPad. While it’s actually a very simple operation once you know how to do it, it’s not something that’s very obvious to people who are new to iOS (as many iPad users are). Here’s a look at the simplest method of transferring files to an iDevice for those who don’t yet know how to do it.

The video above will walk you through the process visually, but here are the basic steps you need to follow:

1. Connect your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad to iTunes. (You can let it sync if you want, but this isn’t necessary.)
2. Click on your device in the list on the left side of iTunes. (It’ll be under the “DEVICES” header.)
3. Click the “Apps” tab up on top in the main panel of iTunes.
4. Scroll down to the bottom where you’ll find a “File Transfer” section with a list of apps. From that list, choose an app you want to transfer a file to.
5. Onto the (probably empty) space to the right of the apps list, drag in the file you want to transfer. You can also click “Add…” to browse for the file and choose it. As soon as you’ve chosen the file, it will transfer to your device. You’ll see the progress at the top of the iTunes window. When it’s done you can disconnect and your file will be on your device.

Some apps provide additional ways to transfer files that you may prefer, but this is the most straightforward method and it works for every app that supports files. If you’d prefer to transfer over Wi-Fi (or another method), check the app to see if it has other methods. These methods vary from app to app, but most provide instructions so you can learn how to use the various transfer methods. They’re worth exploring if you prefer to avoid connecting your device to your computer every time you want to transfer a file.

Woman claims to catch Bigfoot on her iPhone

In the Pacific Northwest, supposed Bigfoot sightings have been going on for centuries to the time well before white settlers first explored the area in the early 1800s. However, only with the invention of photography have the people making these extraordinary claims been able to offer any ‘proof’ of what they saw. Just this weekend, a video supposedly showing Bigfoot has become a web sensation after it was posted on Youtube.
