Automatic Downloads not working.

Your profile states you are running 4.3.2. If that's correct, you have to be running 4.3.3 and you must be using iTunes 10.3. however, if you ghad it working on one device, I assume that you ate up to date with the sotware on your Mac, iPad and iPhone.

The only suggestion that I can think of is to double check and make sure that you do have the feature enabled on all three devices and then restart all of your devices and try with another app. Pick a free app and try again.

The "last resort" easy fix is to reset your iPad. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. Try to download again.

It seems that this new feature - along with the iTunes 10.4 BETA itself - still seems to be a little "buggy" for some users. I have my own issues with file sharing and the Pages app since I updated to iTunes 10.4 and updated Pages on my Mac over the weekend.

I wish I had a solution for you on this one. I never tried this feature until just now and it works fine for me - download on iPad and it downloads in iTunes on my Mac - download in iTunes on my Mac - also downloads on iPad.

It should work like this.

This is what I do.

On the iPad - open the Pages document that you want to send to iTunes. Tap on the wrench icon in the upper right corner and a pop up window appears. Select "Share and Print". In the next window that pops up - Select "Send to iTunes". Then a window pops up letting you choose among 3 different formats - Pages, PDF and Word. Tap on the format that you want and then it "sends" the document to iTunes. The next time that you sync, click on the apps tab in iTunes, scroll down to the list of file sharing apps, click on Pages and then the document should appear in the window on the right. If you want to copy the file to your Mac desktop, click on the file in the Pages document window on the right, click on "Save To" in the lower right corner of the Pages documents window and select where you want to place the file.

To send a file the other way - computer to iPad - connect your iPad, launch iTunes, select your device on the left side, click on the apps tab, scroll down to the file sharing apps, click on Pages. Then click on "Add" in the bottom right corner of the Pages Document window, select the compatible file that you want to transfer and click open. Then open Pages on the iPad, clcik on the + sign in the upper left corner, select "Copy From iTunes", select the file from the next window that pops up and it will import into Pages.

Really - to me the easiest way - if it is only a couple of files is to email them. I also use DropBox on occasion. People swear by it. You can get a free account - for about 2GB of cloud storage with DropBox. That is more than enough for me.

Absolutely. I get the feeling you feel the same way - by the time you mess around with file sharing - you can email the file back and forth twice - not to mention the fact that you have to be plugged into your computer to use file sharing. I email files to myself - edit them and send them back via email. I don't have tons of files to move back and forth so email works just fine for me. It may be a little cumbersome for some users, with lots of files - especially if they are very large files with large photos or spreadsheets, presentations and such, but it works fine for me.

I agree with you about DropBox - I'm not a big user of the service - but many people are in love with it and if it suits their needs, I understand that. It certainly has it's place - but I look forward to iCloud at this point as well.

Here's looking forward to the cloud ... and to iOS 5... All the best!
