Transferring movies from iPad2 to Mac

I am transferring movies purchased fromn iTunes on my iPad2 to my MAC computer using a USB connection. I used the "Transfer from Devices" option under the "File" option in iTunes to make the transfer.  However, each movie is taking more than 12 hours to transfer and sometimes up to 20 hours. This can't be right. Can anyone let me if this is indeed normal or if there is something I am doing wrong or can do to increase the speed of the transfer.
Many thanks
Martin

Depending on which iTS you purchased from - go to the iTS main page - From the Quicklinks section - select Purchased - then select Movies. You can re-d/l some movies from the Cloud depending upon the movie/iTS you purchsed through.

  • Transferring movies from iPod to mac

    how do i transfer movies from my ipod T to my mac.

    Sync the ipod to the computer and make sure to click on transfer purchases and DO NOT DISCONNECT ANYTIME either by quitting out of itunes or disconnecting the ipod DURING THE SYNC or else you will lose the movies and not have a chance to get the movies back for free. You do have the oppurtunity to purchase the movies again at full price. Hopefully that changes soon but I am not getting my hopes up. Good luck

  • Transferring photos from ipad2 to mac - where are photos?

    I took my ipad2 on vacation and used the camera connection kit (CCK?) to download my SD cards. (many people, many cameras)
    I used iPhoto to transfer my photos to my mac but can't find them anywhere except within iPhoto.
    On my pc, the photos are treated as individual files that you can move around, rearrange and duplicate.
    Where are the individual photos on my mac? Finder shows the images in iPhoto Library, but I can't manipulate it at all.

    You can export them out of iPhoto.

  • I have recently transferred data from my old Mac to my new one. The result was good, but I have 2 users now, whose data I want to merge into 1 single user, so to avoid having to switch from one user to the other to view and use certain files. How to do it

    I have recently transferred data from my old Mac to my new one. The result was good, but I have 2 users now, whose data I want to merge into 1 single user, so to avoid having to switch from one user to the other to view and use certain files. How to do it?

    Here's an easy way:
    Pick the user that you want to eliminate (making sure that the remaining user has administrator privileges) and move all of the data that you want to keep into the Shared folder. Reboot or log out and login to the user you want to keep. Copy all the data from the Shared folder into your account - placing it neatly in folders (Documents, Music, Movies, etc.).
    Once the data is moved, log into the account you want to delete just once more to make certain that you've grabbed all the data you want to keep. Log out and log back into your admin account and go to System Preferences>Users & Groups and delete the 'old' user.
    That should do it.

  • I have problems transferring files from PC to Mac and from Mac to Mac

    I have problems transferring files from PC to Mac, and from Mac to Mac.  PC to PC is fine.  Nothing but problems with the Mac.  One example:
    While working on my PC, I open shared folders on an external HDD connected to the Mac.  I click on paste to move the files.  I get an error after a few seconds to a minute of trying to move several files from my PC Win 7 to Mac OS Maverick, that there is a file already at the destination on Mac. This statement is true, but it was just put there because I am copying them over in that same action.  It reads 0Kb and wasn't there before I started.  Then I get an error: The Action Cannot be completed because the folder is open in another program.  Close the folder or file and try again..
    Whether I click on it a bunch right of way or wait, it still takes about 45 seconds. I have to do it with every file and it only happens when copying from a PC to Mac.  I have even restarted both computers so nothing is using any files.  If I copy one file at a time, I don't get any error.
    So I have one file to move, no problem.  If move 5 files, The first will go fine, but it shows all 5 files in folder at once.  All other files than the first show 0kb. I get the file already existing error once it starts the second file transfer, and I select move and replace.  Then I get The Action Cannot be completed because the folder is open in another program.  I wait or click repeatedly until it starts to move file.  That file will then show something other than 0kb.  When it is done, the error process starts all over.  I tried checking the PC with unlocker, but the files do not show themselves locked on the PC.

    Its not only French. Even certain characters in English will come across as gobblydegook from 1 platform to another. I see this in emails that likely were composed in Word & the characters don't come across.
    Not sure if this is still true, but years ago someone explained that there is a standard character set & then I think its extended characters & those vary from platform to platform or language to language, etc.

  • HT5409 can i convert movies from iPad to mac laptop

    Ihave  download a movie from ipad but it will not play on my mac air laptop with quicktime installed..??

    Ihave  download a movie from ipad but it will not play on my mac air laptop with quicktime installed..??
    Are you going to give us any additional clues as to what you are really asking here?
    1) The "HT5409" in your subject title reference implies you are dealing with AVCHD content. If true, then how did you transfer them to your iPad and how did you transfer them from your iPad to your your MacBook Air platform? As the HT409 topic clearly stated, this can be very important. In addition, how are the files stored? For instance , have you extracted the MPEG-4 AVC content as transport streams or is the content still in the device recorded file form? Are you trying to edit the content or convert it to M4V, MP4, or MOV files directly?
    2) The "can i convert movies from iPad to mac laptop" part of your subject title is confusing. Yes, AVCHD files can be converted to simpler MPEG-4 AVC content that is compatible with all current and most older Mac computers and Apple mobile devices in MOV, MP4, and/or M4V file formats. However, how you do this will depend on the current form of the data and the target settings you wish to employ to ensure compatibility with the various target device possibilities. Further, non-AVCHD content (e.g., HD iPad video recordings) can also be downconverted to simpler settings in a similar manner if needed or required if that is your questing.
    3) Depending on your operating system, both AVCHD and MPEG-4 AVC content should already be compatible with QT X v10.2 and v10.3 players if properly transferred to your laptop from the recording device. And, even if improperly transferred, may still be converted to useable/compatible formats as long as the file itself has not been corrupted by your, as yet, unspecified workflow.
    4) What does "will not play on my mac air laptop with quicktime installed" mean here? Are you trying to play an AVCHD movie in the QT 7 player or one of the QT X players? If the latter, which one? Are you getting any error message? If so, what are they? If not playing in your main user account on the computer, does it play useing a different account? Do the files play in other, third-party multimedia players?
    Basically, your question is the equivalent of my saying my car won't start but failing to mention whether or not I am out of gas, my battery is dead, or that I have removoed the distributor cap, wires, or spark plugs from the engine. To properly solve the issue we need all possible information that you can provide describing exactly what you are doing, how you are doing it, what is not working as your expect it should, and what your goals are. In cases where you cannot answer such questions, it is often helpful to simply post/upload a sample "problem" file and let other users here examine it to determine the problem and/or suggest a specific solution for your particular system/configuration combination.

  • I transfered data from my old Mac, but now it tells me "No Access" when I try to open the files. How can I fix that?

    I transfered data from my old Mac, but now it tells me "No Access" when I try to open the files. How can I fix that?

    That's the problem, then. The files are under your 'old' user account. You should be able to access them if you log into your old account. However, that's not going to let you move them to your new user account. It's for situations like this that I always create a root user account (although I seldom access it). With a root user account, you can copy files from one user account to another. Note that someone may come up with a better idea than what I would use, but here goes.
    Read http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1528 and set up a root user. Then you can transfer files from one account to another. If you like, you can delete this account after you've moved your files.
    Good luck,

  • How do i transferring video from iphone to mac

    how do i transferring video from iphone to mac, i synced it but nothing shows up

    I don't believe OS X has the ability to receive AirPlay (which is what you're using).  There's some advice on the matter on the Wikipedia page, though:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AirTunes
    Scroll down to "Third-party software implementations".

  • TS1501 How to transfer movies from my Apple Mac to my ipad.?

    How to transfer movies from my Apple Mac to my ipad.?

    Where are these movies? what format do they have?
    You'll need to Import them into iTunes, and sync them through there if they aren't in itunes already.
    Yoiu may need to convert them to a playable format for the iPad. If its a video format itunes support, you ncan make playable versions for iPad from within iPad.
    Alternatively if you find a Video App such as Moli Player you can import them into the App through iTunes File sharing as well without having to change their format. Moli player is capable of playing many types of videos and audio formats.

  • How to download previously purchased songs from iTunes to ipad2 without transferring music from an old MAC that is not supported?

    How to download prior purchased music from iTunes to iPad without transferring from an old MAC that is not supported?

    You would have to copy the music to a computer that is supported and sync it from there.

  • IMovie transferring movies from iphone

    How can you import movies shot on the iPhone 4 into iMovie on the ipad2, can I assume you use iTunes to move the movies from one device to another, don't own a mac using iTunes on windows 7 also if you are not near a computer can you move movies across from one device to another by wifi,bluetooth.
    Many thanks

    If the file is small enough then you can email them or you have to sync them to your computer in the same way you do a picture and then sync them back to your ipad.

  • Importing Music and Movies from PC to Mac

    I'm trying to transfer my songs and music from my old PC to my Mac however I'm having a lot of trouble. I copied all my iTunes songs and movies from my old PC to an 80GB external HD. I connected the HD to the new Mac and tried to import the songs and movies into iTunes however it doesn't do anything. When I drag the files to iTunes from the HD folder it just drags it and disappears not copying anything. After that I tried copying all my files from the external HD to the Mac HD and then tried to open the files and still nothing. I've tried using import and add to library but still nothing. I also made sure all the settings in preferences for importing and general were correct. The songs are in AAC format and the movies are in mp4 and m4v. The m4v movies which I bought from iTunes won't play or import to iTunes but the mp4 movies will play however not import. Someone please help!

    Does your PC have an ethernet cable in the back? If so, you can make a steady transfer of files that way. It can be faster than wireless connections and does not take up DVDs or CDs. The multimedia files should work correctly, though for the .wma files you will either need to download Windows Media Player for Mac or Flip4Mac, a software that lets you run ".wma" files in QuickTime, but I find to be using Windows Media Player anyway. For your Microsoft Office files, as long as you have Microsoft Office for Mac they should run seamlessly. Outlook files will transfer over to a program called Entourage. Though these can be transfered, not everything can be such as items with the extension ".exe", etc.
