How do I put videos on the iPad w/o synching with iTunes?

I just bought the iPad 2 from a friend of mine.  It is "tethered" to his computer.  Meaning it won't let me sync my iTunes videos and music to it w/o doing the erase & sync.  I'm hesitant to do that just yet because I have already dialed in the settings I like, and he has some paid apps I don't want to get rid of.
My question is...
Can I put videos on the iPad without iTunes? 
I've tried apps like Drop Box, but they don't let you download to your iPad.  Just stream.  and when I'm at work, I have no internet connection.
Thank you.

Unfortunately, if you want to make full use of this iPad, you really have no choice, but to do an erase and resync with your own iTunes/Apple ID account or create a new account of your own.
There is really no workaround. If you want to sync to your own iTunes library, purchase music,movies, books, and apps of your own via Apple's iTunes Store, you'll need to completely erase and resync this iPad. As it is, if you wish to purchase apps that aren't free, they'll end up being charged to your friend's Apple ID account. I do not think that'll be appreciated.
If you insisted on leaving the iPad in its current state. I was going to suggest a paid app called Photo Transfer App that also allows transfers of movies that might work for you, but because you're still linked to your friend's account this would not be advisable.
Plus, using this iPad with two different accounts (one on your computer and a different one on the iPad) you would end up purchasing this app twice to get the functionality you need. Again using your friend's account.
The paid apps on this iPad will always be linked to your friend's Apple ID account.
You really need to reinitialize (erase) and resync with your own iTunes and Apple ID account and purchase these on your own.
Sorry if this is not the answer you've been looking for.

  • How do I delete music from my ipad when I synced with ITunes

    How do I delete music from my iPad 2?

    If manually managing music on your iPad then you can delete music directly in the Music app on your iPad by swiping/dragging across them from right-to-left (or via Settings > General > Usage > Manage Storage > Music), or by connecting the iPad to your computer's iTunes and using the Music section under the 'on my device' heading to select and delete them :
    If not manually managing your music then you can delete the music directly in the Music app by swiping/dragging (or via Settings), but when you next sync to your computer's iTunes it's likely to get synced back - so you may want to just reconnect your iPad to your computer's iTunes, change your music sync options to deselect what you no longer want on your iPad, and sync that new selection

    How do you make a video on iPad.  I want to do a panoramic of a garden and then email it. Thanks

    You can take a video via the Camera app - open the app, and if your iPad is on iOS 7 then slide the Video Photo Square options so that Video lines up with the yellow dot, then either press red button on the screen or the volume controls on the side of the iPad to start recording (tap the button or press the volume control again to stop)

    For a FireWire 400 camera, you will need a Thunderbolt to FireWire 800 adapter and FireWire 800 to 400 adapter or cable.

    You need to restore your iPad with iTunes in order to get it working again. Make sure that you see the part at the end about using recovery mode as you may need to use that method to restore.

  • IPad No Longer Synching with iTunes

    Took awhile to get the laptop to recognize the iPad as a device. It finally happened after booting it on and off.
    But since then, it goes into perma-sync mode and rolls on for hours without changing the content on the iPad (new songs on iTunes and new photos added).
    Strange, since I've never had a problem with my iPod before, but the iPad (granted, first generation), seems to have a lot of issues. PS -- I've booted both machines on and off, to no avail.
    Anyone with other ideas?

    thats whats happening with me!

  • How do you put videos on the new itunes

    hi can anyone give me a an overview on how to put your vidos on to itunes, many thanks james

    Any files of the iTunes supported QuickTime formats can be dropped into the Library in iTunes just like a music file. If the file is Real Player or Window Media format then iTunes won't process it.

  • How can i put lyrics in the ipad mini?

    I am trying to put lyrics in my new ipad mini , mission almost impossible, i am using the same way like to put lyrics in my ipod touch , but in my ipad does not work only get to pass music no lyrics , can somebody help me please , i am working as karaoke man and need this tool , Thank you so much for your help.

    The Music app on iPads doesn't currently support lyrics, so you will need to find a third-party music app in the store that does support them.
    If terms of the Music app, you could try leaving feedback for Apple via this page : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

  • Importing videos on the iPad

    Has anyone figured out how to add video from a desktop computer to a keynote presentation?
    For example, I have some video files in my camera, and when I use the camera kit to move over all the media in my camera to my iPad, those videos go into the 'photos' app on the iPad.
    When you try to add a video to keynote, it only searches in the photos folder for images and video, so I can easily add video that I uploaded from my camera to keynote, which is good.
    However, if you do all the proper conversions of a media file on the desktop (I.e. Changing avi to mp4) and then drag over these video files to the iPad, they only show up in the 'Movies' app, and not in the photos app where you need them to be selectable in Keynote.
    How can I put videos in the 'photos' app to make them accessible by keynote?
    (note, I have tried uploading videos to my camera from my desktop first, and then using the camera connection kit, but that doesn't work since my camera don't allow adding of files to the SD card.)

    .mov file import to iPhoto - how I did it
    create album in iphoto
    import .mov to library first rename it thus...img_1234.mov (numbers don't matter, avoid 0000)
    add the .mov file to the new album 
    in itunes iphone sync options, in photos, find album and tick it AND on that page tick INCLUDE VIDEOS
    in "summary", tick "include only ticked songs and videos" (dunno if this last particular step is really necessary but it doesn't hurt)
    (disclosure: I actually sync very little media content with iphone, don't sync with icloud so this is a per-project thing and reset to original when accopmplished)
    Sync phone
    Now in iMovie, your clip will be pickable
    I recommend you use it and output/save your complete iMovie asap
    Go back to iTunes on Mac and de-check include videos and the album you checked in "photos"
    Sync again, it will be gone from phone
    One other little iMovie1.3 thing: if you are using any of the trailer formats - they require video, not stills, so plan ahead...have something you want to use in your trailer that acts like a still? video a few seconds of it with your phone (or import as above) first

  • I`ve synched with itunes (windows) and iPad deleted my vacation pictures. Is there a way to recover it?

    Hello,
    I went vacation and in the middle of this, in the hotel pc, i put my pictures on the ipad in order to empty my camera card. When I came back I`ve put the Ipad to sync with my home pc and the ipad deleted all the pictures. Is there a way to recover it? Before the delete process the Ipad made a backup with itunes, but I can`t find these pictures anywhere. Please help, this is really important to me.

    Photos in the Camera Roll are not included with the iTunes sync process except for being included with your iPad's backup which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process. The Camera Roll is not touched and can't be deleted with the iTunes sync process.
    One way photos in the Camera Roll can be removed is by importing the photos with your computer as with any other digital camera followed by deleting the photos from the Camera Roll after the import process is complete, but then the photos would be available on your computer. iTunes does not handle the import of photos from any digital camera including from the iPad's Camera Roll.
    Another way is by restoring the iPad with iTunes as a new iPad or not from the iPad's backup.
    Another way is by transferring the backup from another iPad to a new iPad the first time a new iPad is connected to iTunes on the computer used for syncing with another iPad.
    None of the ways to remove photos from the Camera Roll involve syncing with iTunes only.
