I need a movie on my ipad for university.

I have tried importing it via itunes, but when I select Add to Library and try to open my movie file, nothing happens. I have also tried simply dragging my movie file into itunes but still nothing happens. And yes, I am in the movie tab of itunes to begin with.
I have been trying to find other ways to import this film onto my ipad. I need to watch it for a university assessment and an ipad is easier than lugging my laptop around all day.
I have tried opening bluetooth and connection my laptop to my ipad and that worked... however, I cannot find a way to actually share anything. It just says my two devices are paired. Which is no real help to getting my film where it needs to be.
Can anyone help me? It is imperitive I watch this film and it's hard to sit at home with my laptop and do so when I am working constantly and studying in my spare time.

what type of ipad?
4th gen has

    Hi WOLF86,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The first thing I would suggest is to quit the Mac App Store application.  Then go to the Apple - My Apple ID website and click on "Manage your Apple ID" to confirm your settings.   If you can't remember your password, you can reset it from this website.
    The next thing I would try is to open your iTunes application, and on the menu bar, click on Store > View Account. Make sure your billing information and shipping details are correct.  (You may be requested to re-enter your credit card security code, then be sure to click Done).
    Finally, restart your computer and launch the Mac App Store and try your purchase again.

  • How can I upload my dvd movies to my ipad for an upcoming vacation

    How do I upload my dvd movies to my IPad 2?

    This would have to be one of the bug bears of iTunes: you can put a music CD in your Mac's optical drive and iTunes asks if you want to import it, but will not do the same for a movie you already own and want to watch on your Mac using iTunes!
    I haven't bought a DVD for years, and happily buy movies, or rather, when at home rent them from the iTunes Store.
    The only way to get movies onto your iPad is to buy movies from iTunes and sync the iPad (make sure you have ticked the sync movies option in the iTunes device settings AND tick only the movies you want in the movies list) or buy movies via the iTunes app on your iPad, or do stuff that is illegal.

  • How can i find a grant to help a child with special needs non verbel get an ipad for free, how can i find a grant to help a child with special needs non verbel get an ipad for free

    Hello I have a question and hope maybe someone can help I am look for a grant or some type of information on how I can get my  non verbal Autistic son a  IPad . I heard so much on how it help with school and other behavioral issue. We a very low income family and to purchase a IPad is way out of our budget since we don't have any extra funds for it ..I do good to get him what he needs and take him to doctors appointments. So please listen to a single mom pleas I just want him to thrive and be all he can be. Thanks from the bottom of my heart

    I agree with the people who posted above.
    I have questions for you --
    How old is your son?
    Does he attend a school program?
    What country, state, and city do you live in? (Your name above indicates you might be in NY.(?)
    Has your child been diagnosed with autism so that he deals with a specialist? The doctor/medical facility you are connected with should be able to help you.
    I did a quick google search and many groups came up. You can also get connected with many groups, such as your board of education, autismspeaks.org, hollyrod.org, nationalautismassociation.org, ...the list goes on.
    If you google 'autism support groups' and 'autism support groups in (your city)' you might get to some groups that will steer you in the right direction.
    Hope this helps.

  • Why do I somestimes need to move my mouse around for multiple tabs to load?

    While having multiple tabs open, I sometimes have to move my mouse around on a page in order for that page and others to load.

  • I broke my laptop last week and until I can afford a new one, I'd like to use my ipad for university. Just wondering whether there is a way I can view online lectures? I have an app called my media but its only good for direct download links

    Only good for direct download links. I can pick to view my lecture in either audio or video format through WMP or QT from my school website. The formats come in a drop box form, which when on a desktop or laptop open in the player you choose and play. I hope this makes sense

    You are asking several different questions. If you need to store your photos, music, and movies on an external volume, you certainly can. Any externally connected hard disk drive will work, connected either directly to your Mac or to your Time Capsule as a shared volume.
    You should not rely upon using that as a backup device though. Although you certainly may use it for both purposes, it is a better idea to have dedicated backup devices for a variety of reasons not limited to redundancy. You would not want to simultaneously lose all your pictures as well as your backup. If they are all on the same device, that could happen. Furthermore, a backup cannot back up the volume on which it is running.
    As for adding an Extreme or Express, using its LAN port for your iMac, and then enable Internet sharing so you can effectively use the iMac as a "hotspot", you can do that too, but I am unclear on what benefit you believe this arrangement would convey for you.
    An Extreme's Guest network is separate from its Main network; that is the reason for having it.

  • I'm trying to set up an iPad for work and the apple id I was trying to use came back expired. I set a new password and then it said it was invalid. Now I'm locked out for too many tries answering security questions that I don't remember setting up. Help!

    I seem to be stuck in apple ID ****. First the password was expired only two minutes after I finished setting up the account and then the new password was invalid.  I don't know what to try next but this is making me crazy.  And I'm locked out for eight hours for too many attempts at answering questions that I never set up in the first place. I don't know what gives but something is way off. I need to set up this iPad for work but I can't get past the login.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. Some glitch occured and you have to restore/erse the iPod. Y will have to restore from an existing backup if y ohave one.

  • I rented a movie on my iPad. It downloaded fine but would only play 36 minutes, 5 seconds worth of the movie; although the time kept running for the length of the movie. Can this be fixed or do I need to get a refund?

    You can try a rest:
    Reset iPad:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - If that does work, contact iTunes and request a redownload.  You can ask for a refund though.

  • How do I move photos in iphoto for ipad from album to album ?

    how do i move photos in iPhoto for iPad from album to album ?

    If you want to move a photo, then you need to use a PC or a Mac. In iPad, you can copy, but this is just a link to the original. It's something I've been wanting to do for a while...but it looks like it needs another photo program to do it.

  • Hi, I'm a bit low on memory and I can't update the iOS. I need to move some photos off the iPad but I don't want to transfer them to a pc, I'd prefer to transfer them to iCloud and leave them there.  Is that possible?

    Hi, I'm a bit low on memory and I can't update the iOS. I need to move some photos off the iPad but I don't want to transfer them to a pc, I'd prefer to transfer them to iCloud and leave them there.  Is that possible?

    Yes, you could, because in this case you would have something like a backup in the cloud. BTW, personally I also like Flickr. Flickr offers you 1 TB (1000 GB) of free storage and automatic upload for photos since iOS 7 (it is a very attractive offer, at least for me)
