I cannot sync movie from PC to iPad - says already transferred

I rented two movies yesterday via the iTunes store onto my PC. When I now try to move them onto my iPad2, it looks like it's doing the transfer, but in the end I just get the error message "The rental [movie name] could not be transferred to the iPad [my ipad name] because it has already been transferred to another computer or device."... which is not true.
Any suggestions for how I can get this to work? The movies are still on my PC according to my itunes program, but I want to watch them on my ipad.
Help please! Thanks!

I was able to solve the problem by deleting my SC folder, as described here:

(iPad: settings > music > iTunes Match [off]).

Step 4: Disconnect your iPhone and/or iPad if they are connected to your computer. Then reconnect.

Wirelessly sync movie from iTunes to iPad?

I can see my itunes library on home sharing and play the movies easily enough on the ipad from itunes. However, I can not crack the code to copy a movie from itunes WIRELESSLY to the ipad.

I guess I don't know where to transfer them from. Where do I go to do that? Within Videos I see "Movies" (the movies already on the ipad) and "shared" (the content on itunes on the Mac). Even some vids that ~40MB I can stream from itunes, but that is it. Should I be trying to transfer them from somewhere else on the ipad? Heck, I just realized I don't know how to wireless transfer music to the ipad either.

Cannot sync icloud from mac to ipad

The icloud icon shows up on my Settings folder on my Mac but not on my IPad settings folder. When I open the Icloud Icon I don't have options to turn on/off switches. Help!

The icloud icon shows up on my Settings folder on my Mac
Um... you need to open System Prerferences then click iCloud.
Try resetting the iPad. Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Then tap Settings > iCloud

Cannot sync movies

I cannot sync movies from iTunes on my Mac to either my iPod Touch or iPad. The movies will play in iTunes, but when I sync my iPad, it skipps the step that changes what movies are on iPad. In fact, it will not remove any of the movies that are on my iPad, either. I've tried restarting my Mac, and that has not helped. I can watch the movies via the cloud, and can download them, but downloading the movies is very slow. I would appreciate any help.

Everyone try this,
When your iPod is connected to the computer, click the movies tab and click sync all movies. Then click apply at the bottom to put it in effect. After that, click sync and hopefully that should work. Good Luck!

Cannot sync movies to iPad 2

Syncing movies from itunes on mac OSx to kids ipads. ipad4 worked fine. Cannot sync movies with ipad2. Itunes recognises ipad2 and performs backup but will not sync movies. Had error message twice: sync failed as sync session failed to finish. Any ideas?

Without details, there's not much anyone here can do other than guess. I'd suggest you repost your question in the iPad forum, providing details such as the operating system running on your computer, what version of iTunes you have, and information about these movies (where did you get them, for instance), and someone there can probably help.
Regards.

Another way. 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 cannot sync music from my iMac to my iPad.

I cannot sync music from my iMac to my iPad.
I have tried rebooting my computer, rebooting and iPad, and nothing works.
I'm using an iMac that runs OS X 10.9.1, iTunes 11.1.4 and my iPad Air runs iOS 7.0.4. Please help!

I could not get music and videos from the computer to the iPad and vise versa although the computer apparently was backing up the iPad. After playing around with them a bit I finally got the two devices to share media again. i still get the message that the iPad and the computer cannot sync - now that i got them to start sharing again i'm not sure how them "not syncing" is going to affect me as yet.
Thanks for the effort

You have to back them up to a computer. You would import them either to iPhoto or to the Photos app in your PC:

HT4799 Why I cannot watch movies from Love film on my apple tv? The app is on my iPad and when I switch the movie from iPad to AppleTv only sound is on my TV screen.

Why I cannot watch movies from Love film on my apple tv? The app is on my iPad and when I switch the movie from iPad to AppleTv only sound is on my TV screen and no picture.

Many online media providers block this - Sky and Amazon Prime do too I believe.
I would have to assume that the app providers cannot offer video Airplay for contractual reasons with the movie studios though it may just be they don;t want to enable their apps to do so.
It's not Apple preventing this, while you could see it would be in Apple's interest to push people to the iTunes store for media it could also drive people away.

how to transfer movie from laptop to ipad??

Connect the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and then use the Movies tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to select and sync your film the iPad's Videos app. If it says that it isn't compatible with the iPad then try doing Advanced > Create iPad Version and then try syncing that version over.

And I assume you have already checked to see if your iTunes purchases are authorized by choosing Store -> Authorize This Computer?
Some have been able to resolve this issue by removing the downloaded purchase and redownloading it again at no cost via iCloud. See this article for more information on redownloading past purchases.

How do i transfer movies from finder to ipad

HT1491 Downloaded movie from Itunes onto Ipad, when tried to watch it would not start

Downloaded movie from Itunes onto Ipad, when tried to watch it would not open and start.

From iTunes on the iPad or from iTunes on your computer? BTW, you are trying to watch the movie in the videos app, correct?
if you synced the movie to the iPad, delete it and sync it again. Tap the Edit Button in the Movies tab of the Videos app and then tap the X on the movie icon to delete it. Then sync it again.
if you downloaded it directly to the iPad, close the videos app completely, reboot the iPad and then try again.
Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

I cannot sync my Notes between my ipad, my iphone and my mac, despite setting Notes to sync with iCloud

I cannot sync my Notes between my ipad, my iphone and my mac, despite setting Notes to sync with iCloud. Any Suggestion?

perfect. ok do the following:
settings > mail, contacts, calendars > go into the exchange account. You should have an email in the account field...[email protected] or [email protected], etc.... I am assuming you don't remember the password to this exchange account so once you know the email, you can go to email providers site and click on forgot password and you will go through the steps to get a new password. Once you do this, you will need to go back into your "exchange account " and the field that has the exchange email > touch the > to open settings. Change the password to your new password you got from above. Once you do this, you can add the exchange account to your ipad and all of your contacts will sync to both devices.
Please confirm.
