Q: How do I share files, etc. between my Mac Pro, my MacBook Pro and my iPad ?

How do I share files, etc. between my Mac Pro, my MacBookPro and my iPad? I have a wireless network which I can use all devices on but can't communicate between devices (share files, etc.)

Hey fredwe,

There are several ways to transfer files between two Mac computers:

If both computers are using OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion, use AirDrop to send files wirelessly to those near you.Share your files with others near you
Copy files over an Ethernet network or a wireless network.Share your Mac with others on your network
Use one computer to burn the files on a CD or DVD, and then copy the files from the disc to the other computer.Burn a CD or DVD in the Finder
Use an external disk, such as a Zip drive, portable USB, or FireWire hard disk, or even a floppy disk if you purchase a USB floppy drive.
If both computers use OS X, you may be able to use Migration Assistant, which transfers your files and important settings from one computer to another.Transfer your info from a computer or disk

And then, depending on what type of files you're trying to transfer, the easiest way to get them on your iPad is either also using AirDrop in iOS 7:

or alternatively, syncing your iPad with iTunes if you can't use AirDrop:
