Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) 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 transfer video files from win 8 to iPad Air

    i am using itunes home sharing for this but I am unable to transfer.

    Hi Vishu Thakur,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand you want to move videos from your computer to your iPad Air and are trying to use Home Sharing to move the files. The process of moving files from your computer to your iPad is called syncing and would use iTunes to actually move the files from iTunes to the iPad. The article attached explains the process.

  • How to transfer video files from Sony Handycam DCR-SR42 to Mac?

    How do i transfer video files from a Sony Handycam DCR-SR42 to Mac?

    First suggestion would be to read your manual that came with the camea for proper cable use for transfer.  The iMac has a FW800 port and also USB2.0 port.  Once connected you can import them into iMove and edit them from there.  Some Sony codecs may require converting. 
    Firewire Cable is first needful thing.

  • HT4792 How to transfer video files from my ipad to mac?

    I recorded a video of my daughters ballet recital on my company's ipad. I would like to transfer it to my mac or pc and delete it from ipad? Can I do this?

    Connect your iPad to your Mac, then turn the iPad on. If the iPad is locked with a passcode, enter it.
    In Image Capture, select iPad in the Devices list.
    Use the buttons at the bottom of the Image Capture window to view the thumbnails as a list or as icons to change the size of the thumbnails, or to rotate or delete images.
    From the Import To pop-up menu, choose where to save the images or which app to use to open the image.
    To import only some of the photos, select those photos, then click Import. To import all the photos, click Import All.
    Choose AutoImporter from the “Connecting this [device] opens” pop-up menu to transfer images from a device to your computer whenever you connect it to your computer.
    Select “Delete after Import” to remove the items from the iPad after transferring them to your computer. You can also select individual items on your iPad, then press the Delete key on your keyboard.
    You can also transfer videos from iPhone to Mac with the above way.

  • How to transfer iTunes library from Mac Mini to New Macbook Pro?

    I have my wife's iPad and iPhone synced to our Mac Mini.  I purchased a new Macbook Pro for her.  I want to have her iPhone and iPad now sync to the Macbook Pro and not lose any apps or data along the way.  Both machines are running iTunes 11.2.1.  I have read other tutorials about transfering but they are off old versions of iTunes.  The new iTunes doesn't allow you to right click the device and "Transfer Purchases" manually any more.  I have home share turned on and have already transfered all the music to the new Macbook.
    Can someone write up a quick step by step that would allow me to sync to her new Pro without losing her app data and contacts?
    I also manually sync devices on all machines instead of auto sync on plugin.
    Thanks.

    I think the method for transferring libraries hasn't changed since the very first version of iTunes.
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) so you get a prompt to select a library, then guide it to the 'iTunes Library.itl' file in the moved iTunes folder.
    If you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music  then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there.  (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

  • Transfer pdf file from mac to ipad

    How to transfer pdf file from mac to ipad without using the internet and with the help of the cable?

    You say without using the internet, then the only way left is to use a USB connection to itunes on your computer.
    If you have a pdf reader app on the ipad (you must if you hope to read pdf files on the ipad), then go into the Apps tab in iTunes (for your device)  and find the pdf reader app in the list.  If there, then drag a pdf file from the mac to the panel in iTunes and then sync.  Once on the ipad, you should be able to open the pdf reader app and access the pdf file.

    You don't. File transfer, by Bluetooth, has never been supported on any iPhone. To import pics/videos in your camera roll, read here:

  • How do you transfer video files from the iPad to a separate device?

    How do I transfer video files from my iPad Air to a separate device or storage device so that I free up memory on my iPad

    You can directly transfer photos and videos via WiFi between the iDevices, PCs, and Macs with an App like Photo Transfer.
    See: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/photo-transfer-app-easily/id365152940?mt=8
    Or you can upload the photos and videos to the Dropbox service using the Dropbox App on the iDevice, PC, or Mac and download them to the another device using the Dropbox App on that device. By the way, once the videos are on Dropbox you can share them with others.
