Cannot transfer TV shows from computer to iPad

I have both a iPad 1 and 2. With neither am I able to transfer TV Shows or Movies from my Mac running 10.7.2 to my iPad running iOS 5.01. Everything appears to work and sync, but nothing appears under videos on my iPads.

Update.  I have been able to (re)download the two shows by accessing the iTunes Store from my iPad.  It did not seem to charge me a second time so I guess its no longer an urgent inquiry.  However I am curious why I can click and drag songs and podcasts from my computer's iTunes library onto my iPad but not TV shows. 
Although perhaps this explains why the only other show I have watched on my new iPad, a free pilot episode for a new series, was marketed as a podcast at the iTunes store.

    I have pictures on my laptop,not a Mac, some are in Dropbox, some in other programs...how do I transfer those to my iPad?

    try downloading the dropbox app for ipad, you can then do an open in from the app to camera roll, as for other sources there are many wifi transfer apps in the app store that you can investigate.

  • How do I transfer photos from computer to ipad

    How to transfer photos etc from computer to ipad,

    This would need to be done via iTunes. So you'll need a computer, and download iTunes to it, connect your iPad, select your iPad, make sure you have the Summary page up and one of the tabs should give you an option for Photo's - sorry I'm doing this from memory.

    1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
    Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
    2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
    3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
    4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
    5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
    6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad

  • HT201302 how to transfer video from computer to ipad

    How to transfer video from computer to ipad?

    Does the video meet the format requirements?
    Pad2, the new iPad Supported Video Formats & Movie Formats
    H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
    MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
    Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • ITunes cannot transfer movies bought from the Store onto the iPad.

    I have an iPad Mini and iTunes cannot transfer movies bought from the Store onto the iPad.
    'Manually manage videos' is ticked but then after each sync attempt it goes back to being unticked.
    'Sync only checked songs and videos' is also ticked and remains so.
    When I choose the movies to put on the iPad, it gives me an indication of how much space I have (enough), lets me sync and then goes back to zero.

    thanks jolieteddie, 
    FYI, I searched the side pane here after asking this question.  It seems someone gave an answer that worked for me.  I could not drag and drop a pdf from the desktop into iTunes or the Ipad2 directly for whatever reason.  However in iTunes on the main menu under Files>Add, I could navigate to the desktop and add the pdf that way, then sync Books with the iPad. This worked!
    I've attempted in the past to drag and drop videos, etc into iTunes and the iPad with no success. Somehow it never occurred to me to add them this way. Doh!
    Good tip.

    I cannot find out how to upload pictures from computer to ipad on updated itunes.

    I've gone through this one. The new version of itunes I have doesn't list the devices on the left side but across the top and there is no place about photos. Also noticed If trying to move docunments from numbers it's no longer at the bottom of the app page as in the past and I have to email docs between computer and ipad.

  • Brand new iPad: ios 7 How to transfer email addresses from computer

    I apologize if this question has been asked before, but I could not find exactly what I was looking for. 
    I just bought an iPad and updated the operating system.  Previous questions about adding email addresses from computer to iPad mentioned goin to iTunes and then the index tab.  I don't have an "iTunes" icon; I have "iTunes U" but there is no index tab there.  I'm confused.  Sorry for my computer-illiterateness.
    And thanks to any responses.
