Purchasing and transferring a movie to ipad

I bought a movie through itunes but have not been able to transfer it to a first generation ipad. There are various attempts on this list serve to address this problem and none of the solutions worked for me. For example, the suggestion was made to click on the movie and then click on move. There is no command, dialog box or move option that I could find. I did find add to playlist, but when I click on that, the video shows up in the list of movies but with a dotted circle that does not move--and after a couple of hours of watching it not move, it's clear the transfer didn't work. (I disconnected the ipad from the computer, went to the video options, and sure enough, the video file for the purchased video wasn't there. Someone else suggested that the video file be dragged to the ipad button but I get a red circle with a slash through it and, eventually, the same thing as noted above.
It's interesting that this seems to be an ongoing problem. You'd think it would be seamless and easy but not so.

I have no idea. It's current, whatever it is.

Deleting purchased and previously downloaded movies from iPad

Have read all prior posts. Tried everything short of resting entire ipad. Has Apple responded with a fix yet?

There is nothing for Apple to fix, What is the issue you are facing?
Deleting Movies and content from the videos app works fine (You swipe right to left on a title to delete), you can also view and delete some items at Settings>General>Usage, Show all apps.

I rented a movie on my computer and transferred it to my ipad mini and can't find it on the mini even though it shows that it is there when I look on the computer. It is not in my video app on the mini. Where can I find it to watch?

I rented a movie on my computer and transferred it to my iPad mini. I see it was purchased on my computer in my account and the charges for it and can even see where it is on my iPad on the computer but can't find it on the iPad itself. It is not in Videos. I have this problem every time I rent movies and somehow I eventually find it but I don't know how it eventually gets on the iPad. I'm leaving on a trip and want to watch it on the way.

You move the movie from iTunes to iPad (tap to enlarge image)
Movie will be moved to the Videos app.

When I am traveling out of area and purchase and view a movie does it use data against my cell phone service?

When I have purchased a movie for my iPad and I am traveling, does it use data?

Any sort of Internet activity of any type, to any site or service, will use cell data unless your iPad is connected to Wi-Fi. If, however, you mean that you purchase and download a movie, either through Wi-Fi or via your computer, and view it later, then no, once purchased and downloaded it will not require any further Internet traffic.

You should be able to copy it from your iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases, or you should be able to re-download it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes Store home page - if that says that it's already downloaded, then that implies that it's already on your computer

Use the Transfer Purchases command in the File menu of iTunes.

HT203167 I just purchased 3 movie rentals and transferred them to my Ipad for an upcoming trip. Today my Ipad crashed and had to be restored to factory. Everything was restored thru the cloud but can't locate my rentals on my computer or ipad. Waht to do?

I just purchased 3 movie rentals for an upcoming trip and transfered to my Ipad. Today my Ipad crashed and I cant find my rentals on itunes. How can i get them back?

you dont. you can ask for credit and wait weeks for it and try downloading again only for it to most likely fail again when you want to watch it. Get netflix and computer with a disk player.

Where are my transfered home movies on iPAD?

I transfered 3 movies to my iPAD by dropping them into the iPAD icon that appeared on my iTunes sidebar on my MacBook Pro. It dhowed they had downloaded. But Now I cannot find them on the iPAD. Help please. I cannot intuitively find the place they have been transferred to. Everything seems to favor purchased and there is not library navigation. Thanks.

You are a star! They were sitting pretty in the video app (I was fixed on iTunes to iTunes logic). Thank you so very much. And to get the answer before throwing the **** thing across the room; I wish there were a third level of the legend: "made my day" or "sheer gratifying brilliance". Thanks and cheers. Jeremy

I have an apple id for my ipod touch at home. My company is planning to issuing Ipads. Should I use the same apple id on the ipad for those apps I purchase and would like to purchase and use on my work ipad?

I have an apple id for my ipod touch at home. My company is planning to issuing Ipads. Should I use the same apple id on the ipad for those apps I purchase and would like to use on my work ipad?

Yes, otherwise you will have to pay for those apps again. If an app is purchased by one Apple ID, he/she will be able to redownload it again for no cost (note: this does apply to songs, but NOT to movies).

Can I plug my iPad into my TV and watch a movie from iPad

If I download a movie from iTunes to my iPad, can I connect my iPad to the TV (flatscreen LG that is internet accessible) and watch the movie. In the same question, can I see my iPad on the TV in general when hooked up?
I didn't want to hook it up and try with fear of damaging my iPad.

As Rudegar pointed out, the AV cable is an adequate option. But another option is to purchase an Apple TV. That's the only way to use Airplay from an iOS device (for now). I'm pretty sure no OEM TV's support Apple's Airplay technology as of yet. Apple wants you to purchase the Apple TV so don't hold out hope that they'll license the tech to TV manufacturers any time soon.
Check out Apple's demo of Airplay on their website and see if that's an option you might like. The AV cable is cheaper but IMO a cable of any kind is a cumbersome work around. And the Apple TV allows you to also play music and look at your pictures from any iOS device as well.
Re: your other question: "Can I see my iPad on the TV in general when hooked up?". The answer is, "Not yet". Only the "output" (IE: music, video, slideshows) can be seen through Airplay or the AV cable. You can't use the TV as a second monitor for your iOS device.
Lastly, you can't "break" your device simply by trying to hook it up to your TV. I had the same issue with my father this holiday with trying to convince him he couldn't break his camera by trying to hook it directly up via the USB connector on the TV.

How do I purchase and install e-books on iPad?

I am just now starting to use my iPad. How do I purchase e-books and install them on my iPad? Which sites sell books that are compatible with iPad? Are there any sites that offer free e-books that can be downloaded to my iPad?

First you should install the iBooks app onto your iPad. It's free and available in the app store.
Next, you should go to the iBookstore located in iTunes. Lots of books to choose from there, and some public domain books are free. You can also download books from Amazon and read them on your iPad if you use the Kindle app.

In app purchase not transferring from iPhone to ipad

I recently bought a metronome app that has an in app purchase which I opted for on my iPhone. It works as expected on the iPhone. However, the same app on my iPad does not recognize the purchase... it prompts me to purchase the feature to enable it. I tried removing the app from the iPad then resyncing it but that's no help. When I check mu purchase histoty on my computer the purchase shows up but from the iPad, the in app purchase doesn't show up. Anyone with similar experience have any suggestions?

This "should" fit into the "non-replenishable" category that would work with all of the user's ios devices. The app is a demo that has the full functionality enabled with the in-app purchase. I suppose it is possible that the developer misunderstood the classifications and set it up as replenishable by mistake.
If this is the case, it could be avoided if Apple would simply clearly note in the App store which category the In-App purchase is . i.e, if a customer is paying $20 for an in app purchase, it may be OK with them if they can use it on multiple devices but not worth it if they must purchase it for each device. They should be able to find out which it is before buying.

HT1657 I rented and bought 2 movies my iPad says there's not enough room

I Rented and bought 2 movie I have wifi connection iTunes says I don't have enough storage space how can I watch the movie?

In the Settings > General > Usage > Photos & Camera section you should be able to swipe across the 'Camera Roll' and/or 'Photo Library' lines and they should get a Delete button appear on them - that will then delete all of the photos that you've taken with the iPad (andcopied to it via the camera connection kit and/or saved from emails/websites), or all of the photos that you've synced from your computer (the 'photo library' line).
