Get movies onto the iPad/iTunes from a DVD

I'm getting ready for a trip and want to put some movies onto the iPad to watch when I don't have Internet connection.
Question #1 If I rent movies from iTunes, do they download so I can play them at a future date when I'm not Internet connected? (I understand that I have 30 days to start watching a film and then must finish within 24 hours.)
Question #2 Can I transfer movies from a DVD to iTunes to watch at a later date and how do I do that?
Thanks for your help.
Chris

#1: Yes, the movie downloads. Your understanding is correct: you have 30 days to being watching, and 24 hours to complete watching once you've started.
#2: Sorry, but if you're referring to commercial and hence copy-protected DVDs, breaking the copy protection, which would be necessary to copy the videos from the DVD and convert them, is illegal in the US (and other countries), so we're not allowed to discuss it here.
Regards.

Is there a way to download movies onto the iPad? If so, are there any particular sites that I should use?

You can only download content from the apple itunes and app stores.

Getting Movies onto the iPhone

Hey all, it's me again.
I found a program to get Movies onto the iPhone, even though you have to at a cost. The cost is $30, and the package, where you can covert other media files, is like $50.
I only got the regular, since I don't want other media files on my iPhone.
But ****, it's a lot cheaper then paying for them through iTunes.
It's called Avex DvD to iPhone.
It works great, super fast, and the file size is about half of the other programs I've tested. Hope you guys like it!
Just letting you all know in-case you haven't tried yet.

Yes, this has been well discussed in this forum already, as a search would have brought up. You will also find many threads on using Visual Hub, Quicktime Pro, etc...
This thread might be deleted relatively soon, since badmouthing Apple or Apple products or iTunes tends to result in a quick yank...so I'll not add anything more for now.

Yes, you need to install the iCloud control panel and enable Photo Stream on your PC.
iCloud control panel:

On your iPad go to Settings>iCloud and enable Photo Stream.

HT201269 I have years worth of music on my PC that is about to die. If I get an iPad is there anyway to get the music from my PC onto the iPad? I have the iCloud but my understanding is only music actually purchased from iTunes lives int he cloud.

I have years worth of music on my PC that is about to die. If I get an iPad is there anyway to get the music from my PC onto the iPad? I have the iCloud but my understanding is only music actually purchased from iTunes lives int he cloud. I have music that was legally purchased and loaded to my iTunes account from cd's that I no longer own. I need a new laptop and am deciding between the iPad and the Mac book. I use the computer for music, photos, and web - nothing else and nothing fancy. I don't know that there is a way to save my huge music library without saving it to an external hard drive and then loading it to a new one (does the iPad have a port to plug an external hard drive into?)

First, you would need to make a backup of the entire iTunes folder on the PC. You could get music to the iPad if the PC was still functioning, or you would have to move the music to another computer. An iPad is not a laptop, and does not have a port to plug an external drive into. You can sync music to the iPad from the computer, but you are correct, unless you get iTunes Match, you would need a computer to copy the music to and then sync to an iPad.

TS1424 I have already downloaded wrath of the titans and watched it through but a download of the movie in the iTunes store still remains and also keeps timing out? This is preventing me from downloading any other movies onto my iPad any suggestions?

no, i had to leave so i logged out and when i opened itunes on my mac and went into the downloads tab it only had one paused download listed. i resumed the download for the one movie listed and the other one never showed up. its been about two weeks since i initially bought the two movies so i figured something was wrong.

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.

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.

If I have a large amount of music/movie content in the cloud, how do I get it onto my iPad/iPhone so I can hear/see it when I dont have access to WiFi?

If you go into the Purchased tab in the iTunes store apps on your iPad and iPhone then you might be able to redownload them from there - they should then be accessible in the Music / Videos app without you needing to be be online.

Syncing downloaded movies from itunes to ipad which then suddenly stops and will not finish the sync stating itunes could not copy "name of movie" to the ipad because the file could not be written. restored the ipad to factory settings, reinstalled itune

I have had to format my PC running windows 7, and reset my ipad 1 to factory settings, i then installed latest itunes on the PC authorised the PC and re downloaded several movies via itunes previous purchases, all was well until i tried to sync the ipad to the PC, only some of the movies synced onto the ipad, otheres stalled the sync stating itunes could not copy "name of movie" to the ipad because the file could not be written. I have to pull the plug on the ipad just to get itunes to unfreeze, but it still will not sync these movies. and one help

Hi
I was having the same issue with music and movies but it had been ok before. The sync would freeze on a random file and then i had to take out the USB cable to clear it. After trying all sorts of things i saw someone mentioning about Anti virus and firewalls. I am using McAfee so i disabled it as a test. After this i could sync music and movies without issue!!!!! So in my case the firewall/anti virus was causing a problem. McAfee updates itself a lot so I am guessing something has happened in a recent update that impacted iTunes.I am not sure if this kind of thing is also causing your problem but it sounds very familiar.
Hope this helps.

How do I get personal movies onto my iPad without using iTunes

Hi,
I have several "movies" - like ones my kids made using iMovie on their their ipods, clips of my kids playing their sports, and other non-tradional films that i would like to keep and add or subtract to my liking from my iPad (3rd Gen). In iTunes i have pretty much "cut the cord" - the only items that synch with itunes are the videos that I mentioned (hollywood videos I purchse through iTunes I access through the iCloud now) and photos with Aperture. I really dont want - or need to synch with iTunes anymore - the user experience is so wonderful going with just the iCloud and my Dropbox. But I really want the freeedom to add a personal video to my iPad w/o having to synch - it takes FOREVER and always has a glitch of some sort.
In case your thinking to just use the dropbox - I know that... but it is internet dependant then - and play back is not what i'd call "Retina worthy" - and you can't save Drpbox video to the iPad's HD.
Does anyone have another method that is working for them??
I love being "bareback" with the iPad and don't want to go backwards.
Thanks in advance!

Background: You can transfer photos and movies made on your camera and recorded to an SD card directly into your iPad using an Apple Lightning SD Card Camera Reader. So all you have to do is convince your iPad that the SD card with your other movies (ripped DVDs etc) came from your camera.
1. Your movies need to be in a format your iPad will read - .mp4 or .mov work well. For DVDs, you need to rip it into .mp4 files - I use Xilisoft DVD to iPad Converter which works well.
2. Store these files someplace convenient on your hard drive.
3. Rename the .mp4 files so they have EXACTLY 8 characters in the file name without any spaces (digital cameras create 8 digit file names).
4. Format your SD card folder structure so that to your iPad, it looks like it came straight out of your digital camera. The easiest way to do this, is to format the SD card in your camera and then take a single photo on the card.
5. Attach you SD card to your computer (via a direct SD slot or a USB adaptor) and navigate through the SD card's folder structure to find the photo to took on your camera.
6. Copy all the video files that you want to watch on your iPad to the SAME location as the photo file.
7. Eject the SD card and insert it into your Apple Lightning SD Card Camera Reader and it into your iPad.
8. Go to the "Photos" icon app (not the Videos icon app) and follow the usual transfer instructions from the iOS.
Note that unlike movies in the Videos app from iTunes, the video files loaded this way appear only as a video icon with the time length of the file. ie No files names are visible, therefore you may need to write a short note identifying each file name according to its play time.

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from your ipod. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
