How to transfer videos onto iPad from multiple computers?

I have an iPad mini.  Most of the time, I don't use it with a computer, but occasionally, I need to load videos onto it for editing.  I have two comptuers I need to load videos from (work and home).  Do I understand correctly that this is not possible?  I can manage media from multiple computers via iTunes, but it appears that the only way to get videos into the camera roll is to actually sync with iTunes?  And that's can only be done with one computer at a time?  And that changing which computer I use wipes the iPad?
I've tried both Google Drive and Dropbox as well, and while the videos do show up and are playable, there doesn't appear to be any way to get the videos out of either app.  The videos are in MP4 format.
Any advice?

One work around could be: say you sync with comptuer A, use dropbox to get the videos from B to A, then iTunes to get them from A to your iPad.

    On the iPad from the computer does not make sense. If you want to go from iPad to computer - connect the iPad, launch iTunes, right click the iPad name on the left under devices and select Transfer Purchases.
    From the computer to the iPad .....
    Sync with iTunes.
    Connect the iPad to the Mac and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Movies Tab on the right.
    Click on all of the movies that you want to sync to the iPad.
    Click on the Sync Movies Heading.

  • HT201302 transfer videos to ipad from pc

    i want to know how to transfer movies to Ipad from pc? as i have downloaded movies from internet and i want to watch them on Ipad, ipad supports AVI format?

    If you have them on your computer's iTunes then you can try syncing them by connecting the iPad to your computer and selecting it on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and on the right-hand side on the Movies tab selecting and syncing them to the iPad's Videos app. If you get a message that they are not compatible with the iPad then try doing Advanced > Create iPad Version and then try syncing those versions.
    If you can't get them into your computer's iTunes then you will either need to convert them into a compatible format, or you could have a look in the store for AVI players.

    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 I sync photos onto my ipad from multiple computers?

    My dad just got an ipad and we're trying to sync pictures from multiple computers.  He's already synced pictures from his computer.  But there are some pictures on my computer that he wants too.  Every time I try to sync photos from my comptuer to his ipad, a menu pops up and asks if I want to replace his existing photos.    I don't want to replace his photos with my photos.  I just simply want to add to his collection of photos. 
    Of course I can always transfer photos on my computer onto a flash drive and upload it onto his computer.  But I want to know if there is a way where I can sync photos from multiple computers onto his ipad without replacing his original pictures.. (and without using a flash drive or emailing pictures)
    Thanks

    Only the contents of the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad, and not including photos in a sync is how you delete them from the iPad - so you need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad in one go. There are third-party apps for the iPad such as Simple Transfer that allow you to transfer photos to the iPad via your wifi network, but they will just go into the Saved Photo/Camera Roll album on the iPad - though with iOS 5 in the Autumn you will then be able to move photos between albums on the iPad

  • How to transfer video I shot from iPhone5 to my Mac?

    Sorry to be such a dolt, but I don't get it.  I don't see anything explaining in the iPhone5 manual really how to get the videos you shoot in the phone into your Mac (in my case an iMac).  I have iCloud, I have a photo stream.  iPhoto does not make any of my videos show up.  I see some things say "email it" - I know of no ISP that would allow something the size of a video to be emailed.  I thought iCloud would make it stream or appear in some way to my computer.
    Can anyone please shed some light on how we get the videos we shoot from the iPhone5 into our computer, so we can save them or load them onto YouTube?
    Many thanks!

  • How to edit/publish a calendar from multiple computers?

    In our small business we have up to three people doing scheduling using iCal. We would like to use our separate computers to edit/publish calendars. Right now, we can subscribe, but not publish calendars from multiple machines.
    Is there a way to remotely log in to the Mac we publish the calendars on, or can we do this through the web?
    Sorry if this has been covered before . . . thanks!

    The only way I know to "log in" to another computer is through the Apple's sofware: Apple Remote Desktop (a bit overkill if all you want to do is edit a calendar)
    It is not possible to edit another user's calendar, you can only sibscribe.
    Perhaps a 3rd party will have this ability soon (Chronos is coming out with a major upgrade to their Group/Personal Organizer product.
    DayLite by Market Circle is another product which may let you do what you want but it doesn't currently sync with iCal, thus you would lose all the extended functionality of iCal.
    Sorry none of these meet your current needs,
    Do look at CalTalk if you need to share calendars locally without publishing them to the web. (How do you share now?)
    There are also some web based calendar programs (eg BaseCamp) but you have to always be connected to the web and pay a subscrition fee.

  • How do i sync my ipad to multiple computers and apple ids?

    Hey,
    I had an iPad 1, which was synced to my apple id. I then got the iPad 2, which is synced to my apple id as well. My mom is now using the iPad 1, and would like to continue using some of the apps i'd downloaded, but would also like to sync her own apple id to the iPad 1. can someone help me figure out how to sync multiple apple ids, on multiple computers to a single ipad?
    (I know this can be done, as my dad's iPad 1, as well as my brother's sync to two different computers and to two different apple ids, i'm just not sure how)

    Using iPad or iPod with multiple computers  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1202
    Apps cannot legally be shared between Apple IDs - that is considered piracy.
    However, you can legally install apps on multiple devices that use the same iTunes ID and are owned/controlled by the same person.

  • How to manage one iTunes folder from multiple computers via a network?

    Hi there,
    The Setup:  I have a macbook air, my partner has a macbook pro, we both have iPhones with our own iCloud accounts. There is an apple TV and an Airport Extreme with an external USB HDD in there too (which could potentially be plugged into the ATV via ethernet if need be).
    What I want to be able to do:
         1 - NOT have to store the music on my MBA
         2 - Still be able to add music to/alter playlists and movies in the iTunes library that my MBA uses, from my MBA (ie if I end up with new music or movies on           the MBA I need a way to transfer it easily, -keeping in mind that not all the video will fit on the MBP HDD)
         3 - Use the one iTunes music folder for both the MBA and the MBP (to avoid having to update both)
         4 - Sync my iPhone with my iCloud email and contacts etc...
         5 - Sync my partners iCloud with her own email and contacts etc...
         6 - Sync music from the 'common' iTunes folder to either iPhone
         7 - Use apps from my iTunesstore account on my both iPhones
         8 - Stream video from the 'common' iTunes folder to the ATV in HD
    Can someone please tell me how I make ALL of the above possible?
    Things i'm not sure of are:
         A- Where do I put my iTunes music folder? -Locally on the MBP, or on the External HDD in the airport Extreme?
         B- Which of the above would iTunes match help with?
         C- Would homesharing be used?
         D- What usernames/accounts do I have to put into the iPhones adn where? (itunes or icloud etc...)
    For some reason I just can't get my head around how this setup will work.
    Thanks in advance!

    I'm sort of in the same boat. We've got an iMac with separate User Accounts set up and are currently sharing the same iTunes and iPhoto libraries along with streaming them to our Apple TV.
    Right now I'm the only one with an iPod, however she'll be getting one in a couple of weeks.
    We also just picked up a MacBook yesterday and I'd like to be able to sync certain libraries like iTunes and iPhoto so that no content gets duplicated on either the iMac or MacBook and so that we both have access to the current libraries for each program on our iPods and AppleTV.
    I have an external hard drive that I back up the iMac on and I assume I could manually keep things current with that but there's got to be an easier way...that's why these are Macs right?

  • How to import songs onto iPod from two computers?

    this probably was posted before, but is there anyway to upload songs from two different computers?
    i have songs on my mom's computer that i dont have on my dads.

    Try turning off auto-update. Right click your iPod, and go to iPod Options. Under music, click 'manually manage songs and playlist.' It should work after that. You will probabl have to do it on both computers.

  • HOW TO SEE iWEB SITE PAGES FROM MULTIPLE COMPUTERS

    Is there any way I can sync my iWEB so that the pages so that what I start at work can be finished on my home computer?

    Your iWeb data is stored, not in your actual html
    files, but in a file called Domain.sites which is
    stored in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb
    folder.
    Actually, now with iWeb having been updated a couple times.... you can have your Domain.sites file anywhere on your harddrive. I am working on several websites, none of which go to dotMac. I set up a project folder for each client, and his/her Domain.sites file is in that folder. All folders are kept in a WIPs folder, (Work In Progress), on my desktop.

  • Publishing to GoDaddy from multiple computers

    How do I publish to GoDaddy from multiple computers with iWeb '09? I have a domain name and account with GoDaddy.

    This online MacWorld article might be helpful: MacWorld iWeb Drobbox
    Managing an iWeb site from multiple Macs.
    Since you have to all be using the same domain.sites file another method is to put the file on a flash drive and carry it between computers. If those computers are not all yours then the drop box method may be the best method. However, two cannot try to edit at the same time and sufficient time must be given for any edits to be distributed to the other Macs.
