How do I store movies in iCloud on ipad?

Attempted to access a movie downloaded on my PC to Homeshare using my IPad (retina display) and access it through the iCloud on Apple TV? Is this possible? If so, I'm doing something wrong. How can I fix this?

You don't.  
Movies are streamed only with Netflix.

    How do I delete movies from iCloud on my iPad

    That's a big fat lie, I have 10 movies via digital copy and takes 0 space from my icloud backup. & we have 5 devices backup to my icloud account AND I have my backup storage to basic 5GIGS. So right there you say to make you pay more storage is a BIG FAT LIE. Our devices contains 8-64GB's and everything fits in a 5gigs space.
    You might as add well the apps accounts for space to. WRONG!!
    Those apps are in your account but not in your storage, the iTunes App Store part, doesn't even add to your icloud storage. Your backup contains the save files, network routers you connected in the past plus the small layout how you customized it over your home page.
    That part takes small kb of space needed to save all that.
    Movies on your device will take storage but if it's NOT on your device, IT WONT!
    Like I said, once it's added to the account via key from the case to your account, stays tie to your account & will NOT take space from your icloud backup storage.
    And don't even forgt that I have 5 device from my family with 10 digital copies on one storage with 5gigs and have 800's MB left. We use our photo/videos we took from camera to a remote secure site onto our computers.
    Simple as that, if you don't listen to that then I feel sorry for you not listening.
    But your not gonna get any other answers besides logging out what I said months back. GOOD DAY!
    Ps. If there were, you've been already got an answer besides mine. Go ahead and waist your life lookn for an answer which doesn't have an answer to other than that what I said.
    And yes, that's what I meant JJorvath. Hide it but will not get off your account bc it's not part of icloud backup.

  • HT4847 How can I store files on iCloud?

    How can I store files on iCloud?

    Actually, I have found that this is very possible, combining several other tips from around the web, though perhaps not easy.  I am using Moutain Lion.  I am assuming that you have already activated and signed into iCloud previously.  Here are the steps for creating a cloud storage location that you can drage any file into, and access from any of your Macs:
    1) Create a new folder in the directory that is synced with iCloud.  Start by opening a Finder window, and going to the ~/Library/ directory.  Do this by typing Shift-Command-G while the Finder is open, and typing ~/Library in the goto window.  Next, open the directory "Mobile Documents".  Finally, Control-Click inside the Finder and select the "New Folder" option, naming it whatever you like -- I chose "iCloud".
    2) Step two is about creating a shortcut to this iCloud folder in the Finder.  You cannot directly drag the iCloud folder into the Favorites section of the Finder, but you can do this:  Control-Click on your new folder, and select "Make Alias".  Now, drag this alias over to your Favories panel in the finder.  You will be prompted whether you really want to move the Alias out of iCloud: Say "Yes".  Now, delete the Alias -- you don't need the original instance of it any more. (Alternatively, you can skip to the end of step 3 and drag the symbolic link into the Finder Favorites)
    3) Step three is about being able to access this iCloud folder from the Unix command line, and from the Desktop GUI.  Open a Terminal window (Launchpad => Other => Terminal).  By the way, I recommend putting the Terminal into your Taskbar, if it isn't already.  You should be in your home directory ... to verify, type "cd" and press Enter.  Now, create a Unix symbolic link (an Alias won't work for this) to the actual location of the iCloud folder:
    Type "ln -s ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/iCloud/ iCloud" and press enter.  The command should be entered precisely, I recommend cut and paste.  The first character is a lower case "L" and there is a space after the backslash between "Mobile" and "Documents".  You should now have a symbolic link to the iCloud folder created.  To view it in the Finder, go to your home directory: Shift-Command-G, and then enter "~/" into the window.  You should see a folder called "iCloud" there, with a little arrow animation in the corner.  You can drag this into the Taskbar to have a permanent clickable shortcut.  You can also access the contents of this folder through the terminal.  From your home directory, just type "cd iCloud" and press Enter.  You are now in the iCloud folder (or more properly, your local version of it), and can use the usual Unix tricks ... "ls" to list contents, "mkdir ABCD" to make a new directory called "ABCD", "mv a.txt b.txt" to rename a file "a.txt" into "b.txt", etc.
    4) Step four is about accessing this folder on other machines.  On a second Mac, repeat all of the steps above *EXCEPT* for creating the New Folder in step 1 ... it already exists, but you can get it into your finder bar, and create sym-links in the same way from there.
    The great thing about this is that when you work, you are editing a *local* copy of the file, so you can work offline if you like.  Then, whenever you have internet access, the *actual remote* cloud copy of any new or modified files is uploaded.  Likewise, updated files are downloaded from the cloud to get your local files into sync.  You have the benefit/safety of a local hard copy, AND the portability (and extra safety) of cloud storage.  It's exactly what I wanted, and it works like a dream.  Plus, time machine can back up your *local* copies, to maintain version history.  I'm not quite sure what happens if you try to simultaneously edit a file from two places, but don't do that.
    Hope that helps you!

    Ripping commercial DVDs is against the DMCA in the US, we can't tell you how to do it.
    Use handbrake for DVDs with your home movies on it.

  • How do I download movies/videos on my iPad 2, How do I download movies/videos on my iPad 2

    How do I download movies/videos on my iPad 2

    the movies need to be sync'd through itunes like "templeton peck" said. so if you have movies in itunes it is as simple as going to your device there is a section there that says "movies", and you just "check" the ones you want on your ipad and when done just hit the "apply" button and they will be added to your ipad. i would suggest that you sync movies via the wired method as compared to wireless syncing. wireless syncing a movie will take a lot longer than a wired sync.
    if you don't have any movies in itunes but do have them on your computer all you need to do is drag and drop them into the "movies" section in itunes. and then follow the instructions i gave.
    if you don't have any movies on your computer you need to convert them, and unfortunately discussing how to break the encryption that comes on commercial dvd's is prohibited here. but there is a plethora of advice and websites on the web and all you need to do is google it.
    most of the blu ray dvd's these days also come with a "digital copy" of the movie. if you have a "digital copy" just insert the digital copy into your computer and enter in the "digital copy code" and you can choose to download it to itunes or window media player, you obviously want to choose itunes.
    i would also stay away from movies that have digital copies advertised as "ultraviolet digital copy". this is a brand new and it doesn't play well with itunes and you cant play it on your ipad unless you go through "their" app. it's a real pain... right now only a few titles are "ultraviolet" they are "horrible bosses", "green lantern", and the soon to be released "harry potter and the deathly hallows part 2" (11/11/11).
    you can also just buy the movies from itunes. that is what i did on the "ultraviolet" dvd's i wanted to watch on my ipad.

  • How can I transfer .mov files to my iPad?

    How can I transfer .mov files to my iPad?

    If it's on a SD card in your camera, you cau use the camera connection kit, either by connecting the camera or inserting the SD card.
    If it's on your computer, you can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • I rented a movie from the iTunes app....how long will this movie stay on my iPad?

    I have had my iPad for a couple of years but just now rented a movie for a flight I will be on....how long will the movie stay on my iPad....can you watch it more than once?  Also any awesome games out there to download that will not take wifi or data to play them?   Thanks!

    The unwatched rental will stay on the device for 30 days. If you are in the U.S. once you start watching the movie you have 24 hours to watch it as many times as you like, and you have 48 hours in other countries. Bear in mind that if you even start the movies for just two or three seconds and stop it, that starts the timer for the 24 hour or 48 hour time period, so don't start that timers until you are ready to watch the movie.
    I'm not a real big gamer anymore , so I can't help you there.

  • Macbook Pro hard disk full, how do i store Movie files externally

    I have just freed some space, as I was unable to add any new files or Apps.
    How can i store my movies elsewhere? i am not bothered about a back up copy, just another storage area. I use them and play via PS3.
    I think i have used about 250gb on my Internal HD.
    So I bought a 2TB Buffalo Ext hard drive but cant make the Mac talk to it.

    Are these movies in your iTunes library?  If so, you can move the iTunes library to an external volume in the Finder and use iTunes -> Preferences -> Advanced to change the location in iTunes.  Also, note that if they are movies purchased from the iTunes Store, you only get one download...  so you'll want to keep them backed up, or if something happens to them, you'll have no choice other than to repurchase them (or not have them anymore)!
    If they're not part of your iTunes library, just copy them over to the external drive and delete them from the external.

  • How to remove a movie from iCloud and iMovie Theater?

    So I figured out how to publish a movie from iMovie 10 to the Apple TV channel iMovie Theater> by using the iCloud button. But now once it's there how can I remove it? Or is this a new way for Apple to get me to purchase more space in iCloud?

    There is a another solution as in my case. I was tired of all my lousy movies and so I deleted my entire iMove libary in my user folder. That "stranded" some movies in the Theater cloud which showed up on my Apple TV.
    What I did was go to System Preferences and chose "iCloud". Then under iCloud Storage I clicked "Manage...". Here you can go under Documents, etc and delete what is "backed up" in the cloud.

    How do I store documents and files on icloud?

    Through the apps themselves, what files were you thinking of.
    By the way, if your profile is correct, you don't have iCloud. iCloud comes with OSX 10.7.2 or later.

  • How can I store movies in the cloud and access them from my devices?

    Hello,
    I would like to store movies in the cloud and access them from my device without having to download them to the device because there is not enough space on the harddrive to store them on it. How would I do this? Would I have to download the movies to my PC or could I store them directly in the cloud?
    Thanks,
    Tyler

    Unfortunately I don't use sugarsync myself, I have a dropbox account and it works slightly differently.
    As I understand it you can upload files to a folder in sugarsync from your computer without having them sync to any of your devices. You can access that folder from any of your devices, and although you would need to download them in order to play the video file, you could then delete them without deleting the files in the sugarsync folder in the cloud.
