    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.

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    Transferring video from laptop to iPad over wi-fi is quite slow. It is much faster to do it with the iPad's USB cable.
    If you are transferring videos to a 3rd party video app, follow these steps (wi-fi or cable);
    1. Open iTunes on the laptop.
    2. Select the iPad in the Devices list in iTunes.
    3. Go to the Apps pane for the iPad in iTunes.
    4. Scroll to the bottom of the pane and find the video app in the File Sharing list.
    5. Press the Add button and then browse to the location of your videos on the laptop.
    6. Choose the file(s) that you wish to transfer to the laptop.

  • How to get movies from laptop to ipad mini

    I have roughly 100GB of movies (mostly AVIs) on my laptop.  They are not purchased via itunes.  I am getting an ipad mini 16GB.  How can i best deal with movie transfers so i can watch movies on the ipad mini.  I know there is little storage on the mini, and i know i will probably have to convert to mp4s, but can i use an alternative storage that would both store movies and enable me to watch them on the mini??
    Many thanks.

    You can't import movies from DVD directly into iTunes like you can with a CD. The process is much more complex and will require the use of third party software.
    You'll first need decrypting software to remove the encryption on the DVD.
    Then you'll need conversion software to convert the decrypted files into an iPod friendly format.
    Sometimes, both of those tasks can be accomplished with one piece of software. (Before anyone mentions it Videora iPod Converter is NOT an all-in-one package. It does NOT decrypt DVDs.)
    PQ DVD seems to be popular for Windows users, as well as ImTOO.
    Many other titles have been mentioned in this forum. Your question gets asked, and answered, a lot.
    Here are some search results for you to review. There's great information contained in these previous posts.

  • Problem moving rented movie from laptop to iPad

    When I go to move a rented movie from my macbook pro to iPad nothing happens and there is no dialogue box. Purchased movies sync fine. This is a new macbook pro so perhaps the new OS is having a compatibility issue with the iPad? Any ideas?

    Did you click "Apply" on bottom right? See second picture.

    Due to limited hard drive space, I cannot put both of my videos and music and pics, etc in 1 computer.
    How can I transfer the files from both computers without the computer asking me everytime I switch sources "this ipod is synched from another computer. Erase and synch to this computer?"

  • HT1349 I have a laptop computer with Windows 7, powered intel core i7. I am trying to download a  purchased movie from ITunes. I am on wifi g.  Why is it taking 17 hours to download a simple movie? This is nuts!

    Question:  Why when downloading a purchased movie from ITunes does it take 8 to 17 hours to download?  I have an HP Laptop with Windows 7 using a core processer i7.  This is the second day to try to get the movie downloaded and I still cannot watch this movie.  Seems like a problem with ITunes or a scam. I use a IPhone 4 with little issues, But when using this lap top -- it is a joke.

    First thing to do is get the CC off your system.  Then try the direct download option linked below...
    You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
    Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

  • I recently brought a new HP laptop and I downloaded the newly updated iTunes on it; however I have an old Aver laptop with iTunes version 10.7 on it or the one before iTunes 11 came out. How can I transfer my movies from the old version to the new one?

    I recently brought a new HP laptop and downloaded iTunes 11 on it. My old laptop which is a Acer has iTunes version 10.7, I believe. I wanted to know, How can I transfer 18 movies from the old iTunes onto my new Itunes? It only shows the most recent two movies when I look at the purchases in my account. I had a lot of moves downloaded last year from the old version and would like some assistance on how to get all those movies into my iTunes 11 library. Thank you.

    you should starting with copying the iTunes folder from your old laptop to the new one.
    the iTunes folder is in your user profile Music folder.
    it should go to the same location on the new laptop.
    Provided that you have your media, music and movies in the default location, and you sign in to your apple ID and authorize your new computer (all in iTunes)
    you should have all intact.
    Post if any problems.

  • When I connect my iPhone 5 to my laptop and iTunes, I can't play movies from the iPhone on my computer.Why is that? Can I do this or it's not possible with iPhone5? With my iPod it's no problem.

    Reinstall iTunes. Make sure you follow the instructions in this support document to the letter. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923.
    You may have some problems because Apple has not certified that everything works with Windows 8 yet.

    Thanks for your help.  Since I'm uninterested in loading all my photos (the only option) into photostream, I won't be able to use the settings in ATV.  I guess I'm just stuck with using iPhoto on my MB Air.  Thanks again.

  • How do I add a movie from my laptop to iTunes, what should be the file extension.

    How do I add a movie from my laptop to iTunes, what should be the file extension.

    The extension is usually .mov, .m4v, or .mp4.   But you can't just change the extension.  The movies have to be encoded in a particular fomat.  Anything downloaded from iTunes or plays in Quicktime player will be fine.
