I would like to transfer movies from my Mac (avi format) to ipad2 which I think supports MP4 files. How do I transfer. There are so many softwares available on the web but none that can be downloaded on to the iMAC.
Please Help

iPad Supported Video Formats & Movie Formats
H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
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).
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.

  • I live in Chile and would like to watch movies from my MacBook to my JVC HD Television.. What cables do I need to purchase to do this?

    You'll need a Mini-DVI adapter for the MacBook 4,1 and the iMac 8,1 and a cable from that to your TV. Here's the various types of Mini-DVI adapters on Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=min i-dvi&x=9&y=13
    (Composite is the red, white and yellow RCA plugs on your TV or red, white and S-Video plugs.)
    You'll also need audio cables to the TV using a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs or a 3.5mm stereo input plug for audio with the Composite. You attach it from the headphone jack of your MacBook to the appropriate audio input plugs on your TV.
    If you connect the MacBook using a Mini-DVI to HDMI adapter you will probably need to use external speakers or a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs connected to a stereo system for audio if your TV doesn't have separate RCA input plugs or a 3.5mm stereo input plug for audio with the HDMI plug. The Mini-DVI to HDMI doesn't carry audio and there're no audio plugs on most TVs to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with the HDMI.

  • I bought a 3tb Time Capsule and would like to stream movie from it to my Samsung Smart TV.  Do I need Apple TV or Another App?

    TC is not a media device.. it has no media smarts at all.
    And Apple TV is not a media player .. it is strictly a streamer.
    Apple have built their entire media system around itunes.. so without itunes running on a computer nothing will happen.
    The TC is unsuitable as location for your iTunes library as well.. you are simply slowing down the access to the library and making streaming more prone to glitches.
    TC is for TM backups.
    Use your Mac with iTunes library on an external hard disk if it is too big to fit in the internal disk.
    The samsung TV cannot use the TC either because it needs a DLNA server extension on the storage.
    There is however one way.. and not recommending it.. just saying it can be done.
    Depending on how your media files are formatted.. you can use a WD live TV.
    Because WD TV is a full media player and can play raw media files (almost any format) directly from a media source without DLNA, you can play your movie files.. but IMHO it is much easier to simply get a WD MyCloud or any cheap NAS.. that has built in DLNA media server.. almost all do.. and then your TV can play the media directly without any other player.

  • Why can't i transfer movies from a mac to my iPod Touch?

    I have Macbook pro. i put a movie (disk) in the Mac. Than i turn on Finder and iTunes.Than i plug my ipod into the computer and go to the on my iPod section of iTunes. Then i go to finder and grab the movie and move it to the movies section of on my ipod. For a minute it looks like it's going to load it on to my ipod. But than it just stops! N-E-E-D H-E-L-P!

    You cannot transfer anything this way.
    If this is a home movie, then you would have to add it to itunes, then sync it to the ipod.
    If it is a dvd movie/show that you purchased, then you cannot legally copy it at all.

  • Where are the actual Aperture files located? Only in the application? I am transitioning to Lightroom and would like to only move some of the files. Advice appreciated. Also anyone know how to transfer in with edits?

    Where are the actual Aperture files located? Only in the application? I am transitioning to Lightroom and would like to only move some of the files. Advice appreciated. Also anyone know how to transfer in with edits? Using iMac, OS X, most recent Aperture and Lightroom 5.7 with plugin for Aperture.

    Define "the Aperture files".
    Read this concise guide.
    The files you imported into an Aperture Library can be exported (at any time, and repeatedly) using the command "File ▹ Export ▹ Originals".  Your Originals are never altered.  What went in is what comes out.
    Adjustments and changes to the metadata that you made since creating an Image in Aperture by importing a file are saved to a text file.  This file is combined, on-the-fly, with the Original to create the Image that you see in Aperture.  There is no file saved to disk that is the full-size Image.  Thumbnails are saved, and Previews are saved.  These are JPG files, almost always smaller than the Original.  They are not substitutes for the Image for the use you have.
    When you need a file of an Image to use in another program, you export the Image from Aperture.  "Export" means "Make me a file of this Image according to these file specs I'm providing".  The way to get files of your adjusted Images is simple:  create them by exporting.  Specify "Original size", and use a loss-less image-file format (e.g. TIFF 16-bit) if you want to retain as much visual information as possible.
    Search the Web for information about transitioning from Aperture to Lightroom.  Note that I say "transitioning".  You cannot move a database from one format to another without significant changes, and likely some loss of information.  Adobe provides a tool and some instructions.  I strongly recommend working out the process step-by-step, and then proceeding with first a few Images, then a bushel-ful, and stopping to use the first few, the the bushel-ful, before committing your entire collection to the process.
    As always, never use any computer file without having a back-up.
    We have seen mixed reports here of the success of the LR tool that creates a LR database from your Aperture database.
    If you want to carefully define the process, and test and refine it, use the excellent process-development, analysis, and execution program inShort.
    Sadly, there is not and can never be a good, thorough re-positioning of the digital assets in your Aperture Library to become digital assets in a LR database.  Just as a metaphor for any user contemplating transitioning to another digital asset manager:  that would be like digging up a house in one country, planting it in a hole in another country, and expecting to be able to use the toilet and the sinks, turn on the lights, cook dinner, and sleep soundly.

    Thanks, Sig.  I think I should've been a little clearer.  I've attempted to do the updates on my Mac, but I get a warning that it will erase everything except calenders, email, etc from the iPad.  I've syned the iPad with the Mac with no problem, but get scary messages when I try to do the latest update.

    As  to iPhoto
    Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc)  or use an external hard drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.
    For iMovie support please post in the iMovie forum

  • HT1212 How to transfer movie from iTune to my iPhone 5?

    Hi Community,
    I would like to know how to transfer movie from iTune to iPhone. A step-by-step procedure will be appreciated.
    Thanks and regards,
    Jidanne

    Launch iTunes and connect the iPhone to your computer. Select your device from the left sidebar and nevigate to the Movie tab at the top. In the window that opens check the Sync Movies checkbox and select the movie you want on the iPhone. Click Sync or Apply in the lower right corner of the iTunes window. When the sync if finished the movie will be in the video app.
    Hope that helps.

  • How can I transfer movies from my pc to iPad

    Problem to transfer movie from pc to iPad

    Have you spoken to Apple support - clicking on the 'Set up 3 questions' link under Security in your account page should allow all three to be set.  Use iTunes Account page link on your PC, then sync by hardwire when finished.  If you have icloud, backup to icloud afterwards.  Switch back to iTunes on your ipad (connected wirelessly or by carrier) and try a purchase you want.  If still having problems it sounds like a server issue at Apple's end.
