Is it faster to download a movie to a laptop then sync to the ipad?

D. Shawn-
I agree that it shouldn't make any difference. But that isn't the problem I often have. Many of the short movies I download are not in a format the iPad can view. In that case, it would be necessary to download them to the computer, convert them to MPEG4, and transfer them via iTunes.
I use a free program called HandBrake to convert various video formats to MPEG4 (MP4, MV4). It is available for Macintosh, Windows and Linux at:
<http://handbrake.fr/>.

I have25 movies in itunes and non sync with the ipad. it shows that say 4 are on the device, but when I go to the Video appl, other movies that I didn't select are listed. What is causing me not to be able to sync my movies to the device?

Movie videos are not syncing properly from iTunes to the ipad

Yes, I have checked off each of the 4 movies and did not click on the "manually manage videos & photos". At one point I even scratch the entire ipad and started it as "new", and added everything back on ....... they did display at first (the 4 movies), but the next time I synced, it went back to the over movies and the 4 movies disappeared .......

I ve brought apps on the comp for my ipad and they successfully downloaded but they wont sync to the ipad, any ideas?

I ve brought apps on the comp for my ipad and they successfully downloaded onto itunes but now they wont sync to the ipad... Any ideas? Im lost and annoyed... :/

Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go. (No data loss)
If it comes back, try deleting a different app or two temporarily to see if it'll complete the download. Then you can delete it.

Is it possible to download ebooks from amazon into itunes and then sync to the ipad2 without wi-fi?

We have an ipad2 without wi-fi or 3G. We download games with itunes onto a PC and then sync to the ipad. We are not able to do this with ebooks using kindle or nook for ipad. Is wi-fi necessary in order to download books from Amazon/ Barnes & Nobles?

It is necessary for Amazon's Kindle app as you download the ebooks directly (wirelessly) into the app from the Amazon site, it's not done via iTunes (I don't think that there is any other way, though I haven't checked their website). Don't know about Barnes & Noble as I havn't used it. If you don't have a wireless network yourself do you have any coffee shops etc nearby that you could use for downloading the ebooks ?

I downloaded a movie twice. How can I cancel the other one and get a refund?

I downloaded a movie twice. How can I cancel the other one and get a refund?

If you are speaking of an iTunes purchase, you will need to contact iTunes Customer Service and explain the situation. Their written policy is kinda cold, in that they say they don't issue refunds for erroneous purchases, but I have found them to be a bit more understanding and helpful than that.
Start by calling Apple at 1-800-275-2273 (if in the US) and ask to be connected to iTunes Customer Service.

The list you saw that shows what drivers are available from Apple Software Update is based on what drivers are supplied by the vendor to Apple. So it would appear that HP has not provided Apple with a scanner driver for 10.9 (known as an ICA driver), or provided an update if one was available for a previous version of OS X, so that you can scan from Image Capture.
I checked the HP web site for your model and they don't show any scanner driver or scanning software. If there was a scanner driver, you would be able to use Vuescan.
As for the Scan button not working, the following is documented by HP
Scanning to the computer from the printer control panel is not available when you scan with Preview, Image Capture, or Printer browser methods. You must use HP Scan software to scan from the printer.
But there does not appear to be any version of HP Scan software available for 10.9. So unless someone else has some workaround, it seems that you won't be able to scan with this model of HP.

I have been doing this for some time, with Netfix,and other programs,and never encoutered a problem till I tried Playing a film off I tunes.

My computer shut down in the middle of downloading a movie rental and after restarting my computer, the rental was deleted. How do I get it back without paying for it again?

Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

Log out of the iTunes Store on your device:
Settings>iTunes & App Store...tap your Apple ID, then select "Sign Out"
Reset your device:
Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.
After the device has restarted, sign back in to the App Store as above.

Everytime I try to download a movie I purchased on itunes, I get the network has timed out error

Everytime I try to download a movie I purchased on itunes, I get the network timed out msg. I am using my verizon internet card with my ipod touch. For some reason, it will not recognize the wireless connection we have in places we travel to. My computer connects to whatever wireless connection but my ipod says not found. Never lists available networks around us like my computer does. Also, I can't seem to find a number to call the itunes store for help downloading the movies I purchased. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I probably should add I have no problems downloading music from itunes, just the movies I purchase.

I cannot download a movie purchase to my computer, I made the mistake of first trying to download it to my IPAD. It shows that it is trying to download to my MAC, but I continue to get error messages. I also have been load it to my I-pad

HT1391 i rented an itunes movie but it did not sync to my ipad. Where is it?

I rented two movies on my laptop from iTunes. I then synced up my iPad 2. Where are my rented movies? I can see them in iTunes on my laptop but rented them to watch on my iPad. In previous versions of iTunes there was a tab in my Videos that said Rented. It is no longer there. HELP!

If you purchased it on your computer's iTunes then have did you select it to sync to your iPad (via the iPad's Books tab on your computer's iTunes) ?. On your iPad you can also turn Settings > Store > Books 'on' so that iBooks purchases made on your computer or other iOS device are automatically downloaded to it. You can also re-download the book for free directly on your iPad : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
