How do I transfer a movie file from my iPad to my MacBook Pro?

I recently accidentally deleted all media files that existed in the iTunes Media folder on my MacBook Pro. I have managed to recover almost every file, the only one I have yet to recover is a movie that was redeemed through iTunes after I purchased it as part of a DVD/Blue-Ray/Digital Copy combo pack. It is no where to be found on my hardrive yet the 'phantom' file still extsts within my iTunes library. After checking all of our family's Apple devices (2 iPhones, 5 iPads, 1 older MacBook, & 1 MacBook Pro) I was delighted to discover the movie still exists on my stepson's iPad Mini! Only now I cannot seem to find a way to 'transfer' this movie file back onto my MacBook Pro. I am refusing to sync or update his iPad Mini in fear that I might loose the only copy of the movie I have left! Can someone please help me transfer this file back to my MacBook Pro? Thanks so much!

This talks about iTunes 10, but it should work the same way in iTunes 11. Transferring purchases for an iDevice to your Mac.

It should be File>Devices>Transfer Purchases, I think
You must be using the same Apple ID in iTunes on your Mac that your son is using on the Mini or the movie will not transfer.

  • How can i transfer all my photos from iMac iPhoto Library to macbook pro to iPhoto or Adobe Lightroom 5

    I have a thunderbolt cable ?????? Would it work if i connect them together and how ? If i can get some assistance and instructions on how to do it , Will be appreciated .
    Best regards

    To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
    Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
    But however you do choose to link the two machines...
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
    If you're moving to Lightroom:
    You need to export the images from iPhoto to the Finder, then import them to your Lightroom Catalogue.

  • How do i transfer my movie files from my mac to my external hard drive

    i want to move some video files from my desktop to my external hardrive, never dont it before need help

    What Mac OSX version?
    Regardless, you open the folder containing the video files, then click/drag those files from their current location to the hard drive icon on your Desktop.
    If your desktop does not show the external drive, post back for how to make it show up.

  • How do I transfer my pdf files from my ipad ibooks to my new macbook air?

    Is there anyone who might help me to transfer my pdf saved in my ipad 3 to my new macbook air? Thank you.

    It should transfer them all, I don't have as many as that on my devices but it's always copied them all.
    Where are you seeing the 103 e.g. if the iBooks app on Mavericks then are you looking at the List or All Books view or view Collections ?
    You could try disconnecting it and rebooting both your Mac and iPad and then retry it and see if they all then copy over.

    If you know how to do it, please help me as faster as you can!
    THANK YOUU!!

    Hi,
    Unfortunately general file transfer is not currently supported on iOS devices. If you have apps installed on your iPad that support file sharing, you can exchange files with these apps by connecting your iPad to your computer and selecting the Apps tab on the device's page in iTunes. If you scroll down here, you will find a list of apps, that support file sharing, and you can copy file to/from the particular app, but there's no way of accessing the iPad's file system without 3rd party software, and even if you use one, it will be able to access the file storage areas of the file system, but not the OS root folder. You need a jailbroken device to do that.
    iTunes also copies all your photos and videos from your devices. The only official way of moving file between iOS devices is with iTunes. If you consider iTunes a software (it is one) than there's absolutely no way for that, if your device is not jailbroken.
    Just to be clear, I'm against jailbreaking, because it makes your device vulnerable, and can create a lot of problems, that would not exist on a factory device.
    Hope this helps
    Regards,
    Gábor

  • How do I transfer my iTunes library from my pc to my Macbook Pro?

    A few months ago, I bought a Macbook Pro.  Meanwhile, my iTunes library remains on my pc.  I would like to transfer my iTunes library to my Macbook Pro, because that is the computer I use the most.  No matter what I've done, I can't figure out how to do that.  I'd appreciate any feedback on this issue. 
    Thank you for your time, Featherback.

  • How can I transfer my imovie project from the imac to the macbook pro

    So that way I can continue to make/edit the movie on the go. I have a 27" imac and a macbook pro that I am working with. 
    Thanks

    The best way would be to move it using an external hard drive. Then you have to move the hard drive between the two computers. In fact you could all the Events folders and the Project on that same hard drive too. And everything would be self contained. You would use iMovie to copy the Projects and Events onto the external hard drive (don't drag anything outside of iMovie, moving the files manually is NOT good). Then as a last step run the Consolidate Project command on that copy of the project on the External HD. That would get everything you needed into one spot.
    But be aware, your iTunes and iPhoto libraries are going to still be on your iMac. So you may not have access to EVERYthing you need to put into the final project.

  • How do I transfer my iTunes library from my iBook to my MacBook Pro?

    I have just bought a 17" MacBook Pro nd want to transfer my iTunes library from my iBook. (lots and lots of songs) I did not have access to my iBook when I first authorised the MB and later tried to use the migration assistant in Tiger.
    Although it seemed to work I could not find my iTunes library and it did not transfer. All the settings on the iBook should have allowed me to do this.
    Any suggestions, other than start from scratch installing the track?
    Thanks
    TT

    You can link the two laptops together with either Airport or Ethernet and get really fast transfer speeds without wasting time transferring everything to an external HD first. After the physical connection, set it up in the Network pane of your System Preferences. Alternately, you can connect the two macs with a firewire cable. Then restart the old Mac while holding down the "t" key. This will start your old Mac in firewire target mode, basically turning it into a harddrive which will mount on the desktop of your new Mac.
    You might be able to drag and drop your iTunes folder from the Home>Music directory of your old Mac into the Home>Music directory. Otherwise, you can drag the folder to the desktop of the new machine and then drag and drop each individual folder into the iTunes window of the new Mac to import the music. Be sure to deauthorize (from the iTunes Music Store) your old iBook before selling it.

  • How do I transfer AVHDC movie files from my Hyperdrive Colorspace device in

    Is anyone familiar with the HyperDrive Colorspace device? It is a proven best for storage of digital photos and the people at Hyperdrive assure me that, because Hyperdrives will back up everything that's on a memory card, then I can store AVDHC files on my Hyperdrive and then transfer them to my Mac. But when I have tried to do this iMovie does not seem to recognise the files. Can anyone help (in language as non-technical as possible??!!)
