How do I transfer MP4 videos from Macbook to iPad2

(I am very frustrated at this point, so please forgive me if my wording sounds like I am pulling out my hair.)
I want to put some MP4 videos on the iPad2. They are currently on my Macbook Pro.
I have attached the iPad2 to the Macbook, and iTunes opened up. It started syncing the iPad to the Macbook. I told it to stop. It looks like a bunch of stuff on my iPad may or may not be on the Macbook now, but I'm afraid to delete it from the Macbook out of fear that it will delete them from the iPad as well.
But I just want to put the MP4 video files on the iPad, so that I can run them from the Movies app. I believe I can only do this in iTunes, but it looks like easily transferring files from the laptop to another device seems to be a thing of the past.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    How to transfer video from macbook to ipad2

    Haryati-
    I found your question while researching another one on the same topic.  I found it hard to believe that iPad videos could not be transfered to a computer!
    I made a short video on my iPad 2.  It showed up in the Photos camera roll.
    Running iPhoto and connecting the iPad to my Mac Pro, I selected the iPad under DEVICES.  The video was at the end of the photos, I selected it and clicked on "Import Selected".  I then dragged the imported video to my desktop and it played in QuickTime Player when I double-clicked it.
    Then I tried it with Aperture.  The dragged copy appeared to play in QuickTime Player, but the screen was black.  However an Exported Version played correctly.

  • Transfer photos/videos from MacBook Pro to External Hard Drive (not iPhoto)

    I've read all the other threads regarding how to transfer photos from iPhoto to an external hard drive (i.e., format your EHD to Mac OS Extended (Journaled)), however, I do not believe my situation applies.
    In short, I download new photos/videos from my iPhone to my MacBook Pro twice - in two distinct methods.  The first method (and the one I favor) is to use the Preview Application to download photos to the MyPictures folder.  Once this is done, I revise the name of each photo so that I can tell not only the date but also the event.  Once this is done, I then also download the same photos to my iPhoto Library via iPhoto but I don't make any revisions to the file names (I don't know why I continue to download photos into my iPhoto Library since I don't like iPhoto, but I guess I feel like it is a "backup" of sorts).
    My problem now is that my internal hard drive is filling up and I must transfer some photos to an External Hard Drive (EHD).  I thought the simplest solution was to transfer my iPhoto Library since I don't really use it anyway and many people advise to simply format my EHD to Mac OS Extended (Journaled).  However, if I do that, my understanding is that I will not be able to then transfer the files to a PC, if I decide in the future to do so.  The solution, as suggested by others, was to then format my EHD as "ExFAT".  However, if I do that, my understanding is that iPhoto will not function properly.
    So my questions include the following:
    1.  Is there any harm in simply deleting my entire iPhoto Library from my internal hard drive to free up space since I believe I have been downloading all my pictures in a separate location anyway (MyPictures folder)?  Or will deleting my iPhoto Library somehow delete these other photos (even though they are not named similarly)?
    2.  If I decided that transferring my iPhoto Library to a Mac OS Extended (Journaled)-formatted EHD was the best solution, what would my options be if in the future I wanted to transfer the photos to a PC?  Is that option lost forever?  Or could I somehow transfer the photos from the EHD to the MacBook Pro, then re-format the EHD to ex-FAT, copy back the photos from the MacBook Pro to the ex-FAT-formatted EHD and then transfer the photos/videos to my PC?  Is there an alternative better solution?
    3.  Any other suggestions?
    Thank you

    1 - no - if you do not like or use iPhoto then yu have no need for the iPhoto library - it is sefl contained and deleting it will not affect anything except iPhoto
    2 - you can export photos form iPhoto to any format drive - it is only the iPhoto library that has drive format restrictions
    Reformatting a drive totally erases it so you can not simply change the format of a drive without removing everything on it
    3 - deciede what you want  - if you use iPhoto then it has no cross platform capability and nothing you do in iPhoto is directly of use on a PC - you have to export from iPhoto to a volume that a PC can read
    Since you do not like or use iPhoto and it will not do what you want I have no idea why you are messing with it at all

  • How do i transfer my data from macbook pro to iMac?

    i just bought a iMac.  How do i transfer my itunes library, photos, files via bluetooth from macbook pro to my iMac?  Much thanks for your help!

    I believe that when you boot your computer for the first time and you are following the onscreen instructions you are prompted whether you want to transfer data from an old mac or PC. If you click 'transfer from an old mac' and follow the onscreen instructions, this may work.
    If you have already skipped this step you could use iCloud to transfer data. If you make sure that everything you want to transfer is synced in iCloud, this may also work.
