Download Movies to iPad

I have some movies I've ripped and would like to sync to my iPad.  I've set up Home Sharing on iTunes, add the movies to the library and turned on Home Sharing on the iPad.
When I launch the Videos App, I have an option for Sharing and can then access the computer where iTunes is installed.  Once I select that computer, it lists all the movies I want and I can stream them without issue but I can't find a way to download them to the iPad.  The inital screen shows the movie icons with a little white cloud on them but when I drill down into each movie, there is just a play option, I see nothing to download.
Does anyone have any idea what step I'm missing?
  Thanks.

You cannot transfer the movies to the iPad via Home Sharing. You have to sync them to the iPad using iTunes. The cloud icon would indicate that you can download them from iTunes, but that only works with purchased movies in iTunes, not with movies that you ripped from DVD and then added to iTunes.
this talks about syncing content to an iPod, but it works the same way with an iPad, see the section about syncing movies,

    If for some reason the movie cannot be downloaded on your computer, I would recommend reporting an issue with the purchase.

    If I download movies on iPad can I watch on Apple TV as well?

    If you purchase them, yes, but may need to transfer them to a computer's iTunes library first. If you rent them, no.

  • How to delete partially downloaded movie from ipad

    I tried to download an HD movie to iTunes, but there was not enough space for it. I cannot get rid of the partially downloaded movie. Already tried reset, but that didn't solve anything.

    If you're viewing the Purchased screen and see a cloud icon next to the movie, it isn't on the iPad and you can hide it by swiping.
    What is the available storage on the iPad? You can check by tapping Settings > General > Usage. Try looking through the list of apps and removing something that you don't think you  want anymore, if there is anything. I'm guessing you're gonna need a few gigs free to avoid running into the download/playback problems.
    You can always re-download stuff.

  • HT201272 Unable to download movies to IPad

    I can't download movies to new IPAD and also IPhone 4 from iTunes . What am I doing wrong

    Are you trying to download or re-download them ? If re-download, then films can currently only be re-downloaded in the US (and not all film studios are allowing their films to be re-downloaded). If you are trying to download films for the first time then are you getting any error messages ?

  • Trying to download movies on iPad

    Trying to download movies and shows from iTunes to iPad and keep getting message...unable to download at this time....been trying for 24 hours. Checked storage on iPad and iCloud and have plenty. Restarted iPad twice. Can't even download old stuff from iCloud. Any suggestions?

    On your iPad start iTunes (Not the app store app) and across the bottom you should see a task bar with icons in it.  Tap the movies icon and you should be taken to the Movies section of the store. 
    Tap on a title , search for a title, etc and download and pay for them.
    Sync your iPad to your iTunes account (Make sure you have selected movies to sync in iTunes and your new movies will be in the video app on your iPad.
    If you know how to rip your own DVD's to MP4 format (The format that iTunes / QuickTimes usese) you can import the ripped videos into iTunes and then drag them onto your iPad (or just sync if you have iTunes set to automatically sync all your videos to your iPad) and you can take your own movies with you.  I do this all the time when I buy a new DVD and want to take it with me on a trip.  And if you get the cable set you can connect your iPad to your TV and watch your movies on the "Big Screen".

  • Tried to download movies onto IPad 2 and keep getting download error message after it spent hours downloading data.  Had 4 movies lined up and want to cancel downloads as I started this process 5 hours ago.  Wanted to take ipad with me on plane tomorrow,

    Tried to download 4 movies to IPad 2.  After 1 taking 1 1/2 hrs received download message on 1st one.  Said to retry and is 2 hrs later and still downloading.  Others show waiting...  I want to cancel the whole deal as something is wrong.  On MacBook shows that I've already purchased these movies, but they don't show in library and won't download.

    Update
    OK, Today I went ahead & booted & tried again & it worked this time.
    Not sure why it didn't yesterday. Maybe the servers were just overloaded? Several others reported similar.
    Also yesterday when I ran Speedtest it showd download at about 25 mbps, This morning just before I re-started the download it was showing just above 30 mbps.  So maybe the internet was less busy? Or at least the parts between me & the test server.
    & so far it is working ok.

  • Renting & Downloading Movies to Ipad 2 For Later Viewing

    In addition to purchasing movies from Amazon or iTunes to download for later viewing on the iPad2 when I am on an airplane can I also rent movies from Amazon or iTunes for downloading on the iPad 2  for later viewing on an airplane.If so,ow long would the rental be good for.

    Depending upon country that you are in then you might be able to rent films from iTunes, and as long as they have been fully downloaded you should be able to watch them whilst offline. From iTunes they last for 30 days, but once you start watching them you have 48 hours (24 if you are in the US) before they expire - you can watch them as many times as you like during those 24/48 hours

  • Downloading movie to ipad

    I purchase 5 movies to download directly to ipad for a trip.  It's taking FOREVER.  I started at 10 pm and now it's 10 am (12 hrs later) and it's only downloaded 2. not sure if it's stuck on the third. What can I do as to not mess it up and be charged for the movie?

    The only thing that I know of to try is to tap on the download and pause it. I have no idea how it will impact the other 2 or 3 movies in the download queue.
    If you live in the U.S. many movies can now be downloaded again at no charge as long as you use the same Apple ID that you bought them with. However, I would be inclined to finish the downloads in iTunes - Store>Check for available downloads - and finish the download there - on your computer.

  • Downloading movies to iPad.

    Not sure if this question should be here or in the ITunes forum but I will start it here:
    I purchased a 14 episode TV series from iTunes, clicked 'download' and only six random  (no consecutive) episodes downloaded to iTunes the remainder stayed greyed out, I  synched  the iPad to iTunes and only those six downloaded to the device but showed the option to download the remainder through the iPad, which I have done.
    So all 14 episodes are showing on the iPad but when the device is synced to iTunes only the original six episodes are showing in the iTunes TV shows library, which means that only these can be synced to another device without having to download the missing episodes again on the second device.
    Am I missing something or is there a way to get all 14 episodes rather then only the original six to show in iTunes?
    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Thanks for your reply.
    That was my first thought but the iPad shows that there is 7.6GB available space and that is with all 14 episodes downloaded to the iPad.
    The problem is that although in iTunes it shows the same figure for free space only six out of the fourteen episodes show in the iTunes libary.

  • Downloaded movies on iPad are not showing in video app

    I downloaded videos on my iPad straight from the iTunes Store. They show up a being downloaded, I see the status bar and time estimate, the video processes and then it disappears. When I click on the videos app there are no videos available for me to watch and it just redirects me to the iTunes Store.
    Things I have tried:
    Restarting my iPad
    Closing out of iTunes and the video app via multitasking
    Going into iTunes and clicking on purchased videos and downloading the video again
    Checking if there are any restrictions placed on my device
    I subscribe to iTunes Match and iCloud storage so I turned them on and off without any resolution
    Any help or guidance would be much appreciated!
    I just received the new iPad as a gift and am regretting selling my original iPad that never gave me any problems like this...

    Quit the Videos app completely and then go back and look again.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Or try this, if that didn't work.
    Swipe to the right from your first home screen to get to the iPad Spotlight search. Type in the name of any of your movies in the field at the top. When the movie appears in the search - tap on it and it should start to play. Let it play for a minute or so - hit done - go back to videos app and see if all is OK.

  • Downloaded movie to ipad, won't play. error - url not available on this server

    Downloaded a movie on the iPad, played it once. Now get error message the "url not available on this server".  How do I fix? 

    Where did you rent them from?
    iTunes?  If so are they downloaded enough that they can be played?
    If from another App, its best to contact the App developer.
