Transfering digital camera video onto the ipad

how do i get videos on taken with my digital camera to upload on to my ipad

Launch iMovie with your digital camera connected - assuming the video captured by the camera remains on the camera. At the iMovie menu bar, go to File and select Import From Camera. Or go to Import > Movies followed by navigating to the movie file already imported by your Mac.
You can make adjustments to the video with iMovie. With the "Project" selected, at the iMovie menu bar go to Share and select iTunes. You will be provided various size options. You will select Medium or Large - the largest size available to be Apple TV compatible. Or you can use the Export Movie option with various options available for the export. Choose the largest for Apple TV. After the export is completed, import or transfer the exported file to iTunes.

  • Getting a video onto the iPad

    I'm trying to get a video that I took with my JVC Everio video camera onto my iPad. I was able to get the file to my iMac, rename it with a .mp4 extension and can play it on my iMac using VLC. However, I can't get the .mp4 file into iTunes. How do I do this so that I can sync it to my iPad? Thanks. Lisa

  • Getting digital cam images into the iPad when shooting with a non-SD card.

    Just thought I'd let people know, I was able to get my really inexpensive Targus USB 2.0 media adapter to connect to the USB camera adapter on my iPad. This allows me to import photos from my Olympus Evolt digital camera that uses an XD or Compact Flash card. Also worked with our two other small digital point and shoot cameras that use non-SD cards. It also lets me use my Micro SD card from my Samsung Moment cell phone.

    Hello strmchsr,
    Thank you for sharing your issue with the community. We certainly want to resolve this as quickly as possible. I understand you must be frustrated. I would like to ask you a couple of questions to better understand your concerns.
    What specific error message are you receiving on the iPad?
    Have you been able to connect the Mifi 2200 to another device such as a laptop or computer?
    If so what were the results? If not I have included some troubleshooting steps below.
    I recommend trying to activate the Mifi 2200 on a windows based pc using the usb cable that came with the device. http://vzam.net/
    The recommendation to remove the battery while the device is powered on is a great option, as ttb_62 suggested.
    As a final option you can perform a hard reset provided that you have the original sticker from the Mifi 2200, which will include default password and the MEID number. I have included a link below to assist you.
    Hard Reset:

  • Putting Digital Camera Videos onto Ipod?

    Is this possible? And if so how do I do it? I was told I'd need to convert them, but I haven't the slightest clue how.
    I'm using a Mac with a 160 Gig iPod classic

    If it's a digital camcorder you are talking about, it will be a little more difficult to do what you want to do. But if you're just talking about a digital camera which has a video recording function in it, it should be a lot easier.
    First you have to check the file format (file name extension), i.e. is it .avi , .mpg , or anything else. Assuming you may not be able to see it right on the file name iteself (because sometimes the extensions are hidden from view). If you can't see the extension, just ctrl-click the file which you imported from your camera to your mac, click "Get Info", you can either read the extension under "Name & Extension", or just read the file format (kind) under "General" where it says what "kind" of a file it is.
    As far as I know, most DC's record .avi videos. You could either use Quick Time Pro (which costs a little of your money, or if you have Pro applications like Logic or Final Cut Studio, it is free). Even if the file is not AVI, you can still use Quick Time Pro for the conversion, as long as it's not .wmv (which you will need to buy a plug-in), or anything extremely peculiar. Open the video file with QT Pro, and go to File>Export, then choose Movie to iPod. And there's your converted video file which you can import into iTunes. (I'm not sure if a regular Quick Time Player, which is free and should already be on your mac, has the Export function as well, because I have the Pro for a long time and forget what the regular version is like).
    The good thing about QT Pro is that you can do some simple editing to your video, i.e. cut, copy and paste a specified portion of the video. And these functions are pretty useful on the most basic level.
    If you don't want to spend money on Quick Time Pro, or if the file format is something that QT Pro can't convert or even open, here's what you can do. Let say the file extension is .xyz, you can use Google, or whatever search engine you use, and search for "convert .xyz to iPod" or something like that. There are bound to be a few free software, or free trials, that you can download. Try those.
    There. That's about everything you need to know for converting videos into iPod formats.

  • How do you get photos off a digital camera and videos off a camcorder onto the iPad air?

    How do you get photos off a digital camera and videos off a camcorder onto the iPad air?

    You can use the camera connection kit.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD822ZM/A/lightning-to-sd-card-camera-reader?f node=3a
    If your camera has an SD card
    or the lightening to USB for your videos
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD821ZM/A/lightning-to-usb-camera-adapter?fnod e=3a
    (might also work for your camera)
    The photo part is rather self-explanatory. as long as your photos are in the right format and with the right naming convention they should import right over. The video may be a bit more tricky. So you may want to do some more research and make sure your camera records a format the iPad will import and whether or not you need an app such as iMovie

  • What happens when I press DELETE on a video in the camera roll on the iPad 2

    What happens to the video in the camera roll on the iPad 2 when I press DELETE

    Actually, I think that to a certain extent, iiCloud does support video storage - for backup purposes anyway. Maybe I am splitting hairs here or it's simply semantics ... Copied from Apple's iCloud backup and restore overview....
    You get 5GB of free iCloud storage for:
    Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
    Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
    App data
    Home screen and app organization
    Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
    Ringtones
    Visual Voicemails
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4859
    So if the video was in the backup - and you restored the iPad from that backup, then the video would be retrievable .... But only by restoring the iPad from a backup that contains the video.

  • Is it possible to load pictures directly from your computer to your ipad.  When I loaded the camera pictures onto the computer, re ordered them and fixed some, I then tried to move them to the ipad.  It does not allow me to paste the copied file.

    Is it possible to load pictures from a computer to your ipad.  When modified my camera pictures and reordered them, I was unable to load them to the ipad.  I could copy but not paste.  If I reinstalled them on the memory card, the ipad did not recognize them.

    The iPad can be pretty picky.
    One way, if you sync your iPad to your computer, is to use iTunes to 'sync' the photos onto the iPad. Of course that has the downside of if you sync them on you have to use iTunes to sync them off.
    Or you can download the iCloud control panel and use photostream to put the photos onto your iPad. WHen you install the iCloud panel and enable photo stream it'll put a folder on your computer. Import photos into that folder and they'll go onto your iPad (they do transfer via wifi so it's not exactly an instant thing, might take a few minutes depending on your network and file size.
    Or, if you have a few, you can e-mail them to yourself, open that mail on your ipad and save them from there.
    Or, to use the camera kit, you can import htem onto your iPad, but the camera connection kit requires a very specific naming protocol. There must be a folder named DCIM on your memory card, and then all files on that card must be in that folder and have a name of 8 characters. If you follow the naming convention, once you plug the memory card in the iPad will see it and allow you to import the photos.
    there are also third party photo apps I just dont' have any to recommend.
    One more thing to bear in mind, even if you rename the files, the ipad persists in organizing the photos by date, so I'd experiment and make sure it doesn't totally rearrange your files before you spend a lot of time on it. (third party apps may respect the name of the photo and organize it that way rather than by date first, then name)

  • HT1349 I have an iPad (1).  Connected a camera connection kit, then inserted a SDHC card.  Nothing happened.  How do I get the photos off the card onto the iPad?

    I have an iPad (1).  Trying to load photos.  Connected a camera kit, inserted an SDHC card with photos.  Nothing....  How do I get the photos loaded onto the iPad?

    rSH8745-
    At first glance, your iPad should have reacted to the presence of the SDHC card.
    Are you sure the card is SDHC and not SDXC?  I do not think the newer XC format is compatible with the SD adapter in the Camera Connection Kit.
    How did the photos get on the card?  The iPad expects them to be in the same format as if they had been stored there by the camera.  They should be in a folder named DCIS.  Their file names should have 8 characters plus suffix.
    Have you tried connecting the camera's USB cable to the USB adapter in the Camera Connection Kit?

  • Hi my name is Catherine I have downloaded digital editions and a book to my PC but wish to read this on an iPad. I have downloaded Digital Editions on the iPad and don't know how to authorize it. Will the book automatically download onto the iPad once tih

    Hi my name is Catherine I have downloaded digital editions and a book to my PC but wish to read this on an iPad. I have downloaded Digital Editions on the iPad and don't know how to authorize it. Will the book automatically download onto the iPad once tihis is done and I open my account on the iPad?

    YOu can also use Bluefire Reader for reading books that need an Adobe ID. There are several ways to transfer a book to your iPad. One way is to email the acsm file, open the email on the iPad, and "Open in ... ". Another way is to use an app like Dropbox. The third way is to connect your iPad to your computer, open iTunes, select the iPad, and under  Settings select Apps. Scroll down to the File Sharing apps, select the app you want the book on, on the right select Add, navigate to where the book is on your computer, and select it. Open the app on your iPad and it should load.

  • Question about transfering pictures and videos to my iPad

    I just found out that I am getting an iPad as a birthday present, which is cool and all but I never ever even thought about owning one, the main reason is because I already own a pretty good laptopp with a good enough hard drive and the reasn why I love this is because when I go on vacation or whatever, I can take my Samsung camcorder which records in 1080p (mp4 files) and has a pretty decent 60gb hard drive but recording in HD requires a lot of space so whenever I run out of space in the cam corder, I just unload all the videos to my laptop in my hotel room and start again from sracth, that way I can come back home with 80 to 90gb worth of high definition vacation footage.
    Now that I am geting an iPad, I want to use it as a laptopp replacement, it fits every category perfectly except the one I just mentioned, which leads me to my question.
    If I purchase the usb adapter to transfer pictures and videos to the ipad, will this recognize my samsung camcorder? I dont remember the model as I dont have it here but it records in HD and the format is .mp4 so I don't see why I shouldnt.
    the iPad I am getting is most likely the 64gb version, which is still pretty low on HD space compared to a regular laptop but if I take an empty ipad (no music and very few movies) to my vacation, I guess I still have a good 50gb or so to dump all my videos from my cammera and unless I am on a long vacation, I shouldnt have any trouble about running out of space but all of this would be moot if my iPad wont even recognize my camcorder in the first place. I don't even care if the iPad wont play the 1080p files properly (does it?) all I care about is if the ipad can at least store them until I get back home and transfer them to a real computer, thanks!

    I'm not saying NO your iPad won't work with your camera, but you are clearly going to run out of storage space quickly, so it hardly matters.
    I would try to convince you that you should think of your iPad as something to consume and share your media with, not store it. Keep using your laptop. BUT as you go through your photos and videos each night during vacation, throw the best ones onto your iPad to show your friends and family the next day. You can even set it up to down convert the videos for transfer to the iPad without losing the original 1080p files.
    If the iPad DOES work with your camera (probably just photos), then you could do a quick transfer of selected photos and use the iPad to review them in the field (instead of your camera's screen). But I'd clear them off pretty regularly and just do proper transfers to the ipad of just the best stuff.
    But anyway, everyone gets to use technology however they want. I don't think the iPad sounds right for what you want to do, but that's your call - why not give it a try.
    (ever considered using mobile me or another cloud solution to store your photos. You can password protect them, upload from your iPad, and retrieve from your iPad (with mobile me and some other choices).

  • Record external video to the iPad via cable or device

    Hi,
    is there any hardware and software combination which will allow me to record video from an external source, such as a DVR onto the iPad ?
    Thank you

    but an even more basic question is does this 30-pin dock connector have the bandwidth to handle real-time input from an NTSC camera?
    The cable certainly has the 'bandwidth' but the real question is will Apple's iOS allow the camera signal to go through the cable and be read by an app?  In any case, it's a mute point since there's no app.
    There are already security camera apps in the app store for specific cameras... http://appshopper.com/search/?search=security+camera

  • Apple digital AV adapter for the ipad 2 or a Apple TV

    What should I get a Apple digital AV adapter for the ipad 2 or a Apple TV?
    Wanna use it for showing photo and movies:)
    thx

    Assuming that you already have the iPad 2, you're looking at a $99 purchase versus as $39 purchase. Why to spend over twice as much on the AppleTV?
    Another thing it would depend on is how often you plan to use the connection. If it's going to be an everyday constant thing where you're likely to find yourself wanting the surf but the iPad is connected to the TV (so you have to disconnect then re-connect each time), then maybe that will be enough of a hassle to get the AppleTV. If you only want to use it every now and again (like after renting a video from iTunes, or to share content when people come over), then you may just get the Digital AV adapter and be fine.
    Actually, I just thought of a third option. You want the connection to be more convenient, but would still rather not have the AppleTV sitting there unused most of the time, you could add the iPad 2 dock for $29 which would be $69 dollars and you're still under the $99 of the AppleTV.
    Oh, and one MORE thing to think about If you've got a computer connected to your network (that's connected to your media library) you may find that having the AppleTV is an easy way to get all that content to your TV, so it would be an additional benefit to the whole situation above and beyond just the iPad.
    For me, I purchased the AppleTV, I have one stationary computer (a Mini) that serves all my music and videos that are in my iTunes library, plus an iPad which I can use as a remote control to control the AppleTV, or I can use AirPlay to push video/audio to the TV from any connected device. I like being able to freely switch between modes at any time without disconnecting and reconnecting cables and this setup allows that (also allows making my TV's sound system a broadcast station for all my music!)

  • How do I put videos on the iPad w/o synching with iTunes?

    I just bought the iPad 2 from a friend of mine.  It is "tethered" to his computer.  Meaning it won't let me sync my iTunes videos and music to it w/o doing the erase & sync.  I'm hesitant to do that just yet because I have already dialed in the settings I like, and he has some paid apps I don't want to get rid of.
    My question is...
    Can I put videos on the iPad without iTunes? 
    I've tried apps like Drop Box, but they don't let you download to your iPad.  Just stream.  and when I'm at work, I have no internet connection.
    Thank you.

    Unfortunately, if you want to make full use of this iPad, you really have no choice, but to do an erase and resync with your own iTunes/Apple ID account or create a new account of your own.
    There is really no workaround. If you want to sync to your own iTunes library, purchase music,movies, books, and apps of your own via Apple's iTunes Store, you'll need to completely erase and resync this iPad. As it is, if you wish to purchase apps that aren't free, they'll end up being charged to your friend's Apple ID account. I do not think that'll be appreciated.
    If you insisted on leaving the iPad in its current state. I was going to suggest a paid app called Photo Transfer App that also allows transfers of movies that might work for you, but because you're still linked to your friend's account this would not be advisable.
    Plus, using this iPad with two different accounts (one on your computer and a different one on the iPad) you would end up purchasing this app twice to get the functionality you need. Again using your friend's account.
    The paid apps on this iPad will always be linked to your friend's Apple ID account.
    You really need to reinitialize (erase) and resync with your own iTunes and Apple ID account and purchase these on your own.
    Sorry if this is not the answer you've been looking for.
