What Mac OS X apps, free or fee, allow copying any files whatsoever from iPad to Mac?
In particular, is m-ipad-to-mac-transfer such an app that's safe (free of malware)? I ask about this one because the author is unclear and I haven't found it on standard third-party Mac download sites or reviewed on known-reputable sites.
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.3), 3.4GHz Corei7, 16GB, SSD + 2T HD
Just curious but how would this file (the one you want to copy to the Mac) get on the iPad?

The iExplorer app has a Finder-like column-view interface with two entries in the left column: Apps and Media. Expand Apps to see a list of them, click one of them to expand the tree of its files. Then just drag-and-drop to copy to the Mac!
Can I ask why you need to do this? I'm reading this thread and wracking my brain to figure out what on eath you need to get off the iPad that cannot be transferred via iTunes. If we know what your use case is maybe we can help suggest an alternate method.

Ah, right. Well it somehow bubbled to the top or I would not have revived it.
My main use has been to copy files from the Mac to the documents for a particular iOS app on the iPad, namely, JSoftware's "J" programming system. The files I transfer are various add-on libraries.
I think a program called Dropbox for the Mac might help you with this. I saw it at the MacHeist site and I believe I could see all my photo folders, not just the camera roll one.

This is strange: the e-mail notification I received quoting the preceding post refers to PhoneView instead of Dropbox. And the actual links in both the post and the e-mail version point to yet a third thing: http://software.bigbigsoft.com/ipad-to-mac-transfer. I never heard of bigbigsoft, so not sure it's trustworthy. In any case, iExplorer seems to do what I need. I think PhoneView will do much, if not all, too.

He may have edited his post.
Try Amacsoft iPad to Mac transfer, we can use it to move iPad contents to Mac easily. Try it yourself, wish it help!
Thank you murrayE for asking the question and answering it too. A few hours of web searching and trialing suggested solutions and your solution works perfect for me. Your a champion!! cheers
