How do i put movies from itunes on my ipad, but keep them off my ipod?

I'm sort of new to this whole ipad thing so please be patient with me. I have been using itunes for my ipod for years now, but just recently purchased a new ipad. I have alot of digital copy movies that i would like to put on it, but i dont want them to automatically transfer to my ipod also when i plug it in. Can someone please tell me what needs to be done for this?

Simply configure the iPod to not sync movies by disabling the Sync Movies option from under the iPod's Movies configuration tab in iTunes. To access this tab, plug your iPod in and click on it from Devices in the left hand pane of iTunes. Over to the right in the main iTunes window section, locate the Movies tab along the top and select it. At the top of this tab is the option to Sync Movies.
Make sure it has NO check mark and apply the changes if necessary by clicking the Apply button in the lower right hand corner.

How do I delete movies from iTunes library? I have moved them to the iCloud and now only seem to have the option to hide the icon in iCloud. I am sure I chose poorly at the 'keep file' window. Please help. My Brain hurts- 18 movies need to go-.

Instead of removing the music from the cloud or the iTunes library why not shuffle your music using a Smart Playlist which excludes the holiday music, or tracks that are not checked. For example, use this very simple Smart Playlist:

Hello Lcw2610,
I would recommend deleting the affected movie from your iPad, and redownloading the movie.

I want to sync my movies from iTunes onto my iPad, but when i try, it says it needs to "erase and sync" my iPad. If i erase and sync, will it delete my apps, photoa, and videos?

All devices only sync what you select to sync.
If you do not want all of the music, then simply do not select all of the music to sync.

Tap the Videos app and tap the movies button at the top of the page.
The iTunes app on your iPad is just a conduit to the iTunes Store. To play your purchases, use the iPod app or the Videos app.

Deleting Songs From iTunes Library...and Keeping Them On Your iPod

Will this process allow me to delete songs from my iTunes library, but keep them on my iPod?
1. When iPod is plugged in, check "Only Sync Checked Items" in iTunes
2. Delete items from iTunes library.
3. Add new items to iTunes library.
4. Sync iPod.
It should keep the songs I deleted from iTunes on my iPod, right?
If you need me to be any clearer, please ask.
EDIT: If this will not work, is there another way to do this? The songs I have are taking up a lot of room on my computer.

Any auto sync method you use will delete the songs from the iPod if you delete them from iTunes.
You can delete songs from your iTunes/computer hard drive after transferring them to the iPod, and for this you need to set your iPod to manage the songs manually.
However, this is an extremely risky option because when (and not if) there comes a time to restore your iPod, which is a very common fix for iPod problems, then all the music would be erased. If you no longer have the music in iTunes (or any other back up), then all that music would be lost.

I purchased a movie from itunes on my ipad but it doesn't show up in my library. It shows up in my history of purchases when I open that page but it is not noted in the list of purchases with all my other purchases. Any idea why?

I purchased a movie from itunes on my regular ipad but it doesn't show up in my library. I am able to view it via my movies icon on the Ipad I used when purchasing it but it does not show up in my purchases listing to download to my ipad mini. Also if I access my itunes account it does not show up in the history of purchases listing like all my other purchases but it does show up when i open that page at the very top; separate form the list. I've tried everything to get it to show up so I can download/view it on my ipad mini.

Hi adtsalmon,
You can only watch the movie on the device you rented it on. Here's a snippet from the Apple Support site (italics mine):
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
Here's the link to the Movie Rentals FAQs site FYI:

Hope this helps!

HT4095 Can I download movies from iTunes to my iPad and watch them on line as well in case I don't have my iPad with me.

I have a 16gig iPad mini with latest iOS software.
Please can anyone advise on the following.
If I buy a movie on iTunes, can I download it onto my iPad and keep it there?
If I then delete it, can I download it again free?
If I do not have my iPad with me, can I watch it online through iTunes?

The film will need to be downloaded in order to watch it, you can't stream it from the store. Whether you can re-download a film will depend upon what country that you are in and whether it remains in the store (studios occasionally remove them). You are better off keeping your own backup copy of all of your downloads rather that relying on being able to re-download from the store in the future (you can copy purchases from your iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases)
What can be re-downloaded where : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085
You can also get wifi-enabled drives which allow you to stream your content to your iPad, so not everything needs to be stored on it e.g. GoFlex Satellite (there are other makes as well).

I downloaded and bought a movie from iTunes on my iPad and now want the same movie on my MacBook Pro but its not offering me to download it, it giving me the options of buying it which I already did. How I get the movie onto my MacBook?

You can connect the iPad to your Mac's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, that should copy it over to the Movies part of your library.
Depending upon what country that you are in, and whether the film studio allows it, you might also be able to re-download it on your Mac via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page.

Can i use an iTunes Gift Card to rent a movie from iTunes on my iPad? And if so, how?

Can i use an iTunes Gift Card to rent a movie from iTunes on my iPad? And if so, how?

Why can't I use an iTunes gift card in Canada to purchase apps for my iTouch?
Inquiries to the iTunes Store have yielded only the following explanation:
"Due to tax laws and commerce restrictions for software in Canada, customers residing in Canada may only purchase games and applications using a credit card."
What these "laws/restrictions" might be have never been identified.
Can I somehow exchange the giftcards that I have for App gift cards?
There are no "app gift cards". Again, you can only use a credit card to purchase software in the Canadian iTunes Store.
Problem is I don't have a credit card to purchase the apps.
Perhaps you could obtain one of the "prepaid" credit cards some banks offer. If not, then the only way you'll be able to buy apps is to get someone to allow you to use their credit card.
