Downloading home movies on to iPad...

I have a home movie that I would like to download from my iMac to the iPad in HD. Is this possible? I read that the video has to be 720p@30 frames/sec in H.264 format. I have no problem converting it to this, but can I watch this video afterwards on the iPad, and what application will it run from (iTunes, Movies folder, etc...)?
If so, how do you download the video from your Mac to the iPad?

Hi Rory!
Depending on the program you used to convert the movie, there may be an option to share it with iTunes. Do that, then connect your iPad and synch it over. If your program does not have a sharing option, right click on it and select the option to open it in iTunes. You should be good to go. Hope this helps!

HT4061 Can you download a movie to your ipad if you don't have it with you?

Can you download a movie to your ipad if you don't have it physically with you. I'm going out of town tomorrow and want to download a movie now, but my Ipad is at home.

No you cannot.

Hi, I am trying to find out if i can download a movie to my Ipad.

I have a movie that i have downloaded using Itunes on my IMac at home. But I forgot to sync the Ipad to the Mac.
Now i would like to watch the movie BUT i am away for a period of time and need to down load it to my IPad direct.
When i have tried to do this Itunes wants to charge me again for a movie I have already bought.
IS there a way of downloading a movie to the IPad with out paying again. Icloud doesn't want to work on it either.
Many Thanks Peeps

Unless you are in the US with a US iTunes account then you can't re-download films for free (and not all film studios are currently allowing their films to be re-downloaded).

HT4095 I have tried to download 2 movies onto my iPad but I keep getting a download error message. What do I do now? I have already tried turning the iPad off and on again-still nothing.

Try closing iTunes and reset your iPad. After the iPad starts up, try the download again.
To close an app, drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the iTunes app then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

How can I download a movie to my ipad if it's not purchased from itunes?

How can i download a movie to my ipad if I don't purchase it from itunes? basically, I want to buy a movie but need it for multiple venues: ipad, home blu ray, etc. Any suggestions are welcome!
thanks, H

You'll have to use 3rd Party software to convert the movies into an readable format. Check this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2729
After that you can add the movie to your iTunes library and sync it to your device.

I downloaded a movie to my ipad and it wont work

I downloaded a movie to my Ipad but it wont work does anybody know what i can do to fix?

What happens when you try to play it in the Videos app - is the Videos app frozen, does it play part way and then stop ... ?
If the Videos app appears to be frozen then try searching for the name of one of your videos on the iPad's spotlight search screen - swipe your first homescreen to the right, type in it's name, and if it finds it tap on it to see if it plays.
If that doesn't work then try closing the Videos app completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Videos app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Videos app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option if the two above don't work is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

I was downloading a movie on my iPad and I stopped downloading it and I want to delete it and it won't. How do you delete it in the iTunes for iPad.

If you tap and hold down the icon - and the X does not appear on the icon - you will not be able to delete it without totally downloading it. Finish the download and then delete it.

I have downloaded a movie onto my iPad. Can I connect that to my TV via my Apple TV and how can i do it?

I have downloaded a movie onto my iPad but want to watch it on my TV. I have apple TV but the movie is not showing up on my "Rented Movies". How do I do this??

I rented from iTunes. Surely it should be on cloud and available on my other devices?

I can't download itunes movies to my iPad; it doesn't recognize the wifi.

I am trying to download a movie to my iPad. I receive an error message each time telling me I must be connected to Wifi; however, I am connected. My daughter is trying on our Apple TV and computer and receives the same error message. We just performed the 5.1 update. Could this be the problem? Some internal conflict with the software?

Try it again now. This was a system error on Apple's end....the message had nothing to do with what was wrong (and there was nothing wrong with your setup or system).
This started working again at about 8pm CST for me.
This affected rentals and purchases (for me it was on iTunes through my computer hard wired to a network).
If you look at the error message you'll notice that its a mix of upper case and lower case words and the message itself actually doesn't make much sense - my guess is that it was a meaningless error message created by developers during testing before....just a guess.

Do you not want a backup of the iTunes content on your computer in the event the iPad is lost, stolen, or simply fails?

After downloading a movie to my iPad it is blocked with the word "processing" under the movie icon. What should I do?
