I have an iPad Pro. I also have a new MacBook on order. The new MacBook uses the USB-C for 'universal' power and data transfer. Can I transfer data to/from my iPad Pro with a Lightning - USB-C cable?
Thanks
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)
What kind of data do you want to transfer?
Files you can transfer with iCloud Drive, Dropbox, Box or Google Drive.
Photos you can transfer from your iPad to the MacBook Pro by plugging it in. They can be imported to Photos for Mac.
Good points. I hadn't thought about all those resources. I think my motivation for asking the question is my skepticism of the new USB-C connector and its capability on the new MacBook. Just what can it convey?
Thanks
You are welcome 🙂
The data transfer capability of the USB-C port isn't only meant to be used with an iPad or iPhone (Photos, books, music, audio books, etc.) but also with external hard drives or flash drives.
Can I transfer data between a new MacBook (USB-C) to my iPad Pro?
