Trouble Transferring Videos Files from computer to ipad in ios 8

Hello -
I'm a bit confused about the "sharing" aspect of what used to be the "home videos" section in itunes for transferring video files to my ipad. It appears I can only access these files when my itunes is open and able to be accessed via wifi. What am I missing? I would like to have the files themselves on the ipad so that I can watch videos when not connected to the internet, and not near my computer.
Apologies, this is probably an easy fix - I haven't been able to find an answer,
Elizabeth

Itunes locks up when syncing .pdf files from computer to ipad

When transfering .pdf files from PC to iPad, sync locks up.

After you open the Apps tab in iTunes, select Adobe Reader from the list of apps on the bottom list. On the right, you will be allowed to "add" files. Just drag and drop files onto that box and then hit sync. The next time you fire up Adobe Reader on your iPad, the files would be there for you.

How to copy pdf files from computer to ipad

how to copy pdf files from computer to ipad

You can PDFs to the iPad, but first you need one or more apps on the iPad that supports PDFs - unlike a 'normal' computer the iPad doesn't have a file system, and everything on it has to be associated with an app.
Options include free apps such as Apple's iBooks app and also Adobe Reader - and paid-for apps such as GoodReader (which also supports read-only of other documents types).
For iBooks you can first add the PDFs to your computer's iTunes via File > Add To Library, and you can then sync them by selecting the iPad on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (on iTunes 11 you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC) and using the Books tab on the right-hand side to select and sync them.
For Adobe Reader adnd GoodReader you can use the file sharing on the Apps tab on the right-hand side to copy them over : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4094

Transferring GarageBand files from iTunes to iPad 2

I haven't discovered a way to transfer GarageBand files from the MacBook Pro via iTunes to my iPad with GarageBand installed.
I have selected 3 simple files i have done and added them to the GarageBand list on the Apps screen in iTunes. Each is a .band file and doesn't contain any plugins or video.
Each time I sync and open GarageBand on the iPad 2, I select the load icon that is supposed to show these three files from iTunes. Nothing is there.
Did I miss something?

But that begs the question, "Why the Load File icon?" It doesn't have any function per se that I can see.
i believe that its purpose at this time is for shareing GBi projects between iPads. perhaps a future releasse will allow for GBX to GBi transfers. if it's a feature you want, be sure to let Apple know:

EA6300 cannot video stream from computer to Ipad on my local networt

I was previously using Video Stream (from Connect3) to stream videos from my computer to my Ipad with no problem. I was using a WRT400n and now have upgraded to the EA6300. Now my Ipad can no longer acces the server on the computer. I tried port forwarding but that didn't work. I assume that some setting(s) on the router is blocking it. The computer is connected to the network using usb wireless. It was connected via cable when using the 400n.
Computer IP 192.168.1.118, ipad IP 192.168.1.40. Does anyone have any idea why the Ipad and computer cannot connect?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Are you able to stream videos to ipad if you connect the pc to router using ethernet only? It may need driver update if it works fine when the pc is directly connected to router using ethernet.
I can see that your router detected the ipad twice in the device list. In this case, try turning off your ipad. Once it is offline, remove it from the device list. Turn it back on, then go to connectivity and select local network. Click on DHCP reservation and reserve the ip address of the ipad. Check is streaming works after that.
You may also need to check if the router's firmware version is up to date. In the Connectivity>Basic tab, click on check for updates button. Proceed with the update if it prompts for it.
Another cause of this issue could be your Video Stream app. Try uninstalling/reinstalling this app or you may also try other video streaming apps like twonky.

Having trouble transferring large files from SSD startup disk to newly installed internal HDD

Have just installed an additional 2TB Samsung HDD in place of my optical drive on my late-2011 MacBook Pro.
Specs:
MacBook Pro 15inch late-2011
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro8,2
Processor Name: Intel Core i7
Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz
Number of Processors: 1
Total Number of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB
L3 Cache: 6 MB
Memory: 8 GB
Boot ROM Version: MBP81.0047.B27
Hard Drives:
Startup = 120GB SSD
New HDD = 2TB SATA Samsung M9T
OS: Yosemite 10.10.1 (14B25)
Issue:
Installed my new 2TB SATA drive and it appeared OK in Finder. I was able to navigate to it and create new folders and move small files into it (under 100MB maybe)
Really want to move my iPhoto library onto the 2TB disk to free up space for Apps on my SSD, but when I try to copy/move it over it only does the first few MB then freezes and appears to timeout as the new HDD disappears from Finder and ejects itself. I'm surprised that the eject stuff shows for an internal HDD but that's a side issue.
Have read about similar issues in other OS versions, especially around external HDD and have tried the following already:
* Looked at power management of the hard disks to stop them going to sleep
* Have told Spotlight not to index the new HDD to prevent the indexing task causing issues
* Both SSD and new HDD are formatted using MAC OS/X Extended (not FAT)
* Have tried fixing permissions on both disks as I believe there can be issues in Yosemite
I'm still having a problem despite trying the above. Struggling!
Any help much appreciated.

Open Disk Utility. By selecting one of the two entries for the HDD please determine how it is formatted and what partition map it is using. I suspect you did not partition or erase this drive before use. If that's true, then do this:
Drive Partition and Format
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
Now you can try your file transfers again. However, before you do I recommend you clone your SSD to the HDD so the latter could be used as your boot drive should it be needed. That will also create an Home folder on the HDD with the files you wish to move to it. You can then simply remove those files from the SSD to free up the space.
Clone Yosemite, Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion using Restore Option of Disk Utility
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
     1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu then press the Continue
         button.
     2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
     3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
     4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it
         to the Destination entry field.
     5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
         the Source entry field.
     6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the new HDD. Source means the SSD startup volume.

Extreme trouble transfering video files to ZEN MX

I'm having trouble putting videos on my Zen MX. I've tried a multitude of ways to transfer the file(s);
. Using Centrale with a normal avi. file - convert unsuccessful.
2. Using Format Factory to change the avi. file using the preset conditions for Zen MX and then using Centrale with the new file - convert unsuccessful.
3. Using Format Factory to change the avi. file to WMA. format and then using Centrale with the new file - convert unsuccessful.
I just cannot understand why this isn't working. Any suggestions welcome, because if this doesn't work I'm going to have to buy an iPod and I can't be dealing with that shi.

please creative. Scrap the useless fileformat and start support the ones we actually use!

Trouble Transferring Data Files From Zen Xtra to Computer...HELP

Hello to all technical-savvy people out there in computer land, I'm hoping you can help me somehow, as I am frustrated beyond belief.
I have a Creative Nomad Jukebox, Zen Xtra, 30 GB. I used it for, obviously, listening to MP3's while I was out of the country in Australia, and I also used it to store data...all of my digital pictures and videos. When I got back to Chicago, I was able to download all the drivers and software onto my dad's computer from online, and was able to successfully transfer everything from my Zen Xtra onto the computer.
I am now at my mom's, and trying to do the exact same thing to her PC and to her laptop....neither of them want to cooperate with me. The computer recognizes the device, and can recognize the data, but it is unable to transfer the information from the device to the computer. I have done the following:
Downloaded the drivers/software
Restarted the computer (plenty of times)
Rebooted the Zen Xtra
Firmware upgrade
And I still can't transfer. I want to show my mom the pictures desperately, and it's realllly frustrating me. If anyone can help me out, my email is [email][email protected]][email protected][/url]
Thank you,
Sheryl

If it worked with the exact same drivers/software on one PC but not another, this suggests a USB incompatibility (especially as you've tried a firmware upgrade). It's not clear whether this is Creative's drivers and/or certain USB chipsets, but issues do seem to exist for some people with certain combinations of hardware.
Out of interest, have you tried a disk cleanup? To access the Rescue Mode hold down the play button and KEEP it held down, press the tiny reset switch once, and KEEP the play button held down until the player boots into the Rescue Mode. Choose Disk Cleanup from the menu. Note: Disk cleanup should not remove your tracks. It searches through the disk for files and rebuilds the index, and can be useful for correcting any strange behaviour.

Transferring video files from camera to external drive.

Forum,
How do I transfer video, or indeed can I, to an external drive using Firewire?
I can connect the camera with Firewire 400 to the computer and the external drive with F/wire 800.
I have not tried because i do not want damage my kit.
Thank you
Michael Craven.

Just connect the drive and see if you can capture to it... many times you can, but sometimes you can't... depends on the FW bridge in the drive. If it's fast enough, you won't have a problem. You won't hurt anything trying at any rate. If it drops frames or something, then a firewire card added to your system to create a second firewire bus will fix you right up.

Having trouble transferring MP3 files from Windows 7 to Apple MacBook Pro

On my Windows 7 PC I have about 200GB of mp3 files sorted into different files to suit there genre, for example 80's Music, 90's Music etc. I am using a Western Digital hard drive to store this music on to then open on my Apple MacBook Pro when needed but when I try and open on my Apple MacBook Pro the folders will not open and seem to appear as a shortcut to something. Can anybody help me solve this problem? Thank you in advance

The first thing you need to think about is what files you want to transfer. Most people want to bring over information like:
Photographs
Music
Movies
and MS Office (Word, Excel & PPT) documents.
If that is what you're looking for then you simply locate those files on your Vista box and drag them to an external HD. If you need help doing that visit your local Apple Store and they will be able to help you out. Another option is you are covered by 90 days of free telephone support on AppleCare, look in your owners manual for the phone number and call. Someone there should be able to get you going.

Trouble syncing video files from Itunes to Ipod

I've downloaded a few videos through the iTunes store and they play through iTunes with no problem but when I sync to my new 32GB iPod Touch, I get the following message:
"Some of the videos in your iTunes library, including the video "[name of video]", were not copied to the iPod "DC iPod" because they cannot be played on this iPod."
On a previous thread about this issue ive seen that apparantly Ipods are unable to take 'HD' video, anybody able to tell me how to take the video out of HD because ive spent £20 on the 'Glory Daze' series and uploaded the new IOS server in hope of working but at the moment its just looking like a waste of £20

It's probably a good idea to update your iTunes. However, you should be able to get an SD copy of the same TV Show. Try right-> clicking on the show in iTunes and looking for an option related to downloading or using the SD version.
Anything there?

Trouble transferring an app from computer to phone

downloaded an app on new Macbook Pro, click on install to my iPhone and then apply or sync but it does not download onto my iphone

You left out some caveats, so some of this may seem obvious, but just in case ...
You said "downloaded an app ...". Presumably you mean you downloaded an iOS app into iTunes on your MacBook Pro. Presumably, you use this MacBook Pro to sync to your iPhone.
The other thing is that the iPhone must be signed in using the same Apple ID and password you used to purchase the app on your Mac. Check Settings > iTunes & App Stores on your iPhone to make sure that is the case.

How is it possible to cancel (not suspend) a video download from iTunes Store (iPad under iOs 6)? (I do not have sufficient storage space on my iPad)

Hi,
I am facing the following difficulty with my iPad (model MD369NF/A) under iOs 6.1.3.
I have bought 2 videos on iTunes Store, but I do not succeed in downloading them: an error message mentions that iPas does not have enough storage capacity.
As a matter of face, when I look at the way the storage is used, I find “Others” for around 10 Go (is there some king of reserved space for the downloading of videos from iTunes Store?), and only a very small number of Mo available.
I would simply like to cancel the downloading of the 2 videos, and hope that it would free the "Others" storage space (in the hypothesis that "Others" is space reserved for videos once downloaded), but I do not manage to do it. I can suspend the downloading, but I do not see how to cancel it.
Would you have a solution to propose ?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Nicolas

Hey Nicolas36,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The following article outlines issues with free space, capacity, and a large amount of "other" space. You'll want to connect your iPad to your computer with iTunes to follow the steps:
iOS: 'Not enough free space' alert when trying to sync
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1503
One symptom of this issue will be displayed in iTunes where the Capacity indicator for the iOS device will report a large amount of "Other" disk usage for the device. To resolve this issue:
- Turn off the music or photo sync option in iTunes for the device.
- Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
- Turn the music and photo sync options for the device on again.
- Click Apply again to try to sync the device to iTunes.
Thanks,
Matt M.

IPad Mini with iMovie ap. Hooked up iPad to my Windows via USB in an attempt, through iTunes, to copy some QuickTime video files from my PC to my iPad. As I followed the instructions, it seemed I can only copy from the iPad to my PC and not vice versa.

Using iTunes on my PC, I wish to transfer some video files from PC to iPad mini. Can this be accomplished?

Hello there, FlatusMaximas.
