How do mov files work on iPad

Hi.
I have been sent a movie in the mov format but it won't open on my iPad.
Can you tell me how I can view it?

Is the file on your computer or is it on your iPad?  MOV files are just wrappers and they need to be in the proper format to be viewed.  iPad 2's can view H.264 encoded movies with Main Line Profile 3.1 at 720p, while iPad 3+ can view 1080p movies encoded with H.264 HIgh Profile 3.1.  If you have the movie on your Mac, you can drag and drop it to you iPad with Pic Share It.  It will automatically convert the movie if it not in the proper format, so you can view it on your iPad.

    Yes there is, if you hold down the attachment widget in the email once the video is downloaded, it will give you a series of options to save it to, including camera roll.

    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.)

  • How to get movie files on my iPad with out a computer

    Can you please let me know if there is any way that I can put my movie files onto my iPad 2 with out having a lap top or a computer with me when I head order sea's. Please email the response to my [email protected] address. I am trying to find a way that I can add my movie files onto my iPad when I do not have access to a computer but I have access to the Internet.
    THanks

    Where are these movie files now? You can't copy DVD's directly onto it, so you'll need some kind of computer to access them to get them on the iPad.
    If you can get them into a cloud storage app such as Dropbox, you can then view them on your iPad. 

  • *.mov files play on ipad without audio

    I have recently transferred some *.mov files from my PC to iPad. These files play perfectly well on PC in both Quicktime Player and Windows Media Player. However, when I try to play them on iPad, I get video only (no sound). I have latest versions of all softwares so cannot figure out why iPad is not playing audio of only these files. I had some old *.mov files on my iPad which play perfectly well (both video and audio) so how can I fix this problem.

    I had some WMV files which I had converted to *.MOV using AVS Video Converter. I have compared the properties of old *.MOV files which play on iPad perfectly well (using QuickTime Player) with the properties of the newly-transferred files and they are exactly the same in every aspect. Is it possible that because of low memory (about 4GB) left on iPad after the new files' transfer, the audio is not playing on iPad?

  • How to move files between folders within Lightroom 3?

    I would like to move a file from one folder to another within Lightroom 3 (let's not discuss why). I searched the threads but couldn't find the answer (maybe I missed it). When I click on a photo within grid view then drag and drop that file onto a different folder in the folder panel (to do the move), a little plus sign (copy) appears and a copy of the file is placed in the second folder. If I try to delete the photo from the original folder (to get the move), both copies of the file are removed. I've tried holding down all sorts of keys on the imac but cannot get the move to work. Ideally, I'd like to move a group of photos but cannot even move one. Does anyone know how to move files between folders in Lightroom 3?

    Your suggestion works. Thank you for posting it.

    Try selecting the photos, right-clicking the target folder and choosing
    "Move Selected Photos to This Folder".

  • I am having trouble running .mov files on my ipad. What can I do?

    I am having trouble running .mov files on my ipad. What can I do?
    Thanks.

    go to the app store and search .mov   The pad plays a certain set of file types, but not all.  In the appstore there are several alternate players that will work.  Find one that does what you heed, and is priced right for you,and download it.
    ((WM Player HD lite is free, and look like the one you might want)
    I use xy player, and VLC, but I am not sure either one is still available.

  • How to transfer files from 1 ipad to another

    how to transfer files from 1 ipad to another

    Depends what you are trying to transfer.
    Are you just trying to add content such as apps, music and photos?
    Or are these files that were created by such apps as pages and numbers?
    You can download content that was purchased in the itunes or app store by signing into same account.
    You can dowload any documents saved to icloud by signing into the same account.
    You can create a backup of the first ipad and restore the second from that backup.
    You can import or sync the content from the first ipad into itunes and then manually sync to the second.
    But this all depends on what you are actually trying to do.

    In addition to wanting to know how to move photos around on ipad , i also want to know how to delete photos

    Photos that were synced from your computer can't be deleted directly on the iPad - they are deleted by moving them from where they were synced from on your computer and then re-syncing, and they should then be removed from the iPad.
    You also can't alter the order of photos in the Photos app, the sorting needs to be done on your computer prior to syncing : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4221

  • EXS24 instrument created from audio region- How to  move files?

    In Logic Pro X. I have created an EXS24 instrument from an audio region with 3 well-separated sounds. The instrument in EXS24 editor shows a zone with 3 files. Each file is actually the same physical file, but, when examining the three separate "files" (what should I call them??), a different section is highlighted for each tone. I can set a note for each of these "files". This instrument plays perfectly.
    So now I have 2 files in my project folder  - a .exs one for the instrument, and ONE SINGLE .wav file somehow representing three different samples. I want to move them to ~Library/Application Support/Logic/folderName, where folderName is , say,  myInstruments (for .exs) and mySamples (for .wav). When I do this, and erase the files in the project folder, I can load the instrument and the sample file into EXS24, but the sample file is recognized as one single tone - that is, in the EXS24 editor, there is only one file rather than 3, and that file has all three audio sounds.
    How do I move these files correctly? Is there some way to get them created originally in the correct place?

  • Cannot transfer videos taken from my Canon camera(MOV files) to the iPad 4. They have previous with no problems at all. Is this an update issue?

    1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
    Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
    2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
    3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
    4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
    5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
    6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad

  • How many movies can a 16G iPad hold

    I am thinking of buying an iPad and use it just for playing movies.  So can anyone tell me how much movies does a 16GB iPad hold?

    Rudegar, a new, out of the box iPad only has about 13+ GB free space, so you can't install 16 ea 1GB movies. Plus if you use all the available space, you won't be able to install any apps, music or pics.
