Getting videos to play on my iPad

Does anyone know how to get videos to play on the iPad? On my iPhone I was able to convert videos files to mp4 and then they would show up in my library. I can not get my iPad to do this. Anyone know how???

The process is the same but the constraints are slightly different - there are plenty of threads on the subject and as long as the video complies with the specification below, it will transfer. If it isn't transferring then there is something out of spec for that particular video.
H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 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, 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

HT204291 I cannot get video to play from my iPad. I don't use this function often but it do work several upgrades ago. The audio plays fine but no video....... Any advice or suggestions appreciated.

I do not use the function very often but AirPlay has worked fine in the past (several OS updates ago on both iPad and apple tv). The audio plays fine but no video???? Any suggestions.

interesting...... you know i tried other media and it worked fine. i was trying to play 'amazon instant video'. when you say 'blocked ... by the providor' it seems to me that Amazon would have no interest in restricting the play. is it the producer of the content that resticts the play through some form of licensing or is it apple that restricts amazon play by limiting access to technology? either way its anti-competitive.

Any helpful hints on how to get videos to play on my IPad. It constantly stops while it is playing

Videos constantly stop when I try to watch them on my IPad, except the ones I take with my IPad. Videos on Facebook and some on YouTube

If you are testing on public wifi, that hardly helps. Public wifi is always over taxed with users and slow.
WhenI said test, I mean to go on the computer and test the actual speed of your internet and wifi.

Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
If you use iPhoto for this with any other digital camera, you can use iPhoto for this. Or you can use the Image Capture application for the import if you don't use iPhoto.

iMAC
I am running OSX 10.6.8
Processor: 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 4GB

To share either select the link (paperclip) icon on the right of the file or folder list.
Cut and paste the link into an email you send your friends. Do not use the "share this" option in Dropbox as it forces them to join.
You can test it after deleting your browser cache and cookies - you will no longer be signed in to Dropbox but the link should work fine.
Hope this helps !

Cant get videos to play either on my ipad2 or iphone4s since upgrading to is06

Cant get videos to play either on my ipad2 or iphone4s since upgrading to is06,please help

This is usually the result of trying to convert a "muxed" (MPEG1, MPEG2, VOB, some AVI, AVI MJPEG, etc.) source file. QT Pro, QT-like applications, and those that depend on QT tools all suffer this problem. Use an MPEG based third party application to perform your conversions. Many Windows users are using Videora Converter for this purpose. Do a Videora search in this forum for more information.

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

You're not doing what I told you to do in the last topic regarding this subject. I said to use a server side script to determine if iPhone then h.264 else .flv video. Also I told you that iPhone will not display the QTVR tours. Anyway, regarding your current setup: you already know why the 360 tour doesn't display on the iPhone. There's not a video file located at the referenced URL. http://www.ftworthfoundation.com/excel_Construction_Commercial.m4v
I haven't looked much at the code other than checking the referenced files since it wasn't my previous recommendation. Perhaps if you fixed the referenced file it may work. Worth a try.
Also... you have bad code on your site (for lack of a better term). Mixed cases in tags, etc. Check your HTML at http://validator.w3.org and fix any validation errors that you may have and I recommend maintaining lowercase in your html. For example: instead of <a hREF=" use <a href="

Getting video to play on my site

I am trying to get video to play on my site in a way that
will not require the user to download flash payers or shockwave
players or anything like that. So far all I am doing is dragging
and dropping an .mpg file into a cell and letting it play on the
site in windows media format. This is all fine but I would also
like to have buttons to the right of the video that when clicked
will change the video to another clip. How can I get button to
change the video and is the method I am using a good one or is
there a better (nicer looking, more user friendly) way of achieving
this effect?

Thanks to all for your assistance. My problem was solved by going to http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302828 This link was provided to me by someone on these discussion boards. Thanks to everyone for their help!
Happy 2008!! Problem solved!

I have a trail camera with a memory card. I record videos. They will not play on my iPad2. How can I get them to play? I have the adapter that plugs into the iPad, which in turn, the memory card plugs into it.

After the latest update of ios 7 none of the videos are playing in my iPad Air

I have updated the latest version 2 weeks ago. After that no video is playing in my air . Also the wifi access speed went very very slow. I am sure the speed is not like previous. Requesting u team to plz check and update with a resolution. Thanks in advance

Hello Ashok Ganesan,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with watching videos on your iPad Air, as well as the slow Wi-Fi issue you are experiencing.
First, I recommend using these steps to troubleshoot the issue you are experiencing with watching videos (you can skip step 4 because it does not relate to the issue you are experiencing):
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on),reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
You can find the full article here:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
If you get to step 5, I recommend backing up your iPad before performing the restore:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
I recommend the following steps for the Wi-Fi issue you described:
Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your W-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
Tap and Forget this Network.
Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
If the issue is still unresolved Wi-Fi disconnects or signal strength is less than expected
Move closer to the Wi-Fi router (access point).
Check for sources of potential interference.
Remove any case, stand, or other accessories from your iOS device and see if signal strength improves.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings
