Hi RyKy7508,


Thanks for contacting Apple Support Communities!


We understand that you'd like to transfer information from your iPad to your MacBook.


Have you considered using iCloud? With iCloud, you can sign in with the same Apple ID on both your iPad and Mac so that you can access the same information on both devices: Sign in to iCloud on all your devices - Apple Support


"Sign in to iCloud on all your devices

To set up iCloud on your devices, sign in to each of them with the same Apple ID and password. You can choose which apps store information in iCloud and which iCloud features you’re using separately on each device. Learn more about how each app or feature uses iCloud.

Note: When you turn off iCloud for an app or feature on a device, information stored in iCloud for that app or feature is no longer available on that device. However, it’s still available on other devices where iCloud is turned on for the app or feature. See How iCloud keeps information up to date across all your devices."


You can also sync your data between devices as outlined here: Sync content between your Mac and iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


"Sync content between your Mac and iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

You can select the information you want to sync between your Mac and device. You can sync all items of a specific type (for example, all your movies or photos). Or you can select specific items (for example, some of your movies and some of your books), which gives you more control.

After you select the content you want to sync, the items are updated whenever you sync your device and your Mac.

The first time you set up syncing, you must connect your device to your Mac using a USB or USB-C cable. After you connect the device, the device icon appears in the Finder sidebar and selecting the icon displays syncing options. You then select which items to sync.

If you have an iPhone (with iOS 5 or later) or iPad, you can also set up to sync wirelessly when your Mac and device are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. See Sync content between your Mac and iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch over Wi-Fi.

For more information about syncing, see Intro to syncing your Mac and your devices."


We hope this helps.


Cheers!
