Trying to download movies to seagate wireless plus

II'm trying to download movies and songs to seagate wireless plus, but only thing that is transferring is pictures

Image Capture should work. You can also try importing it thru iPhoto. Connect your device to your computer, launch iPhoto, select your iPhone from the Devices list, an Import window should open.

I would like to transfer the movies purchased in iTunes to my Seagate wireless plus external drive.

Hello,
I had purchased movies from Itunes on my iPAD 2 and when I ran out of space I simply deleted them. When I open my itunes on my Macbook Pro, I find these movies under "purchases" with a cloud icon. This means I can re download them. But what I essentially want to do is download these movies or transfer my itunes movies library on my newly acquired Seagate wireless plus, which I understand is compatible with Itunes. What I would like to know is, will I need to redownload the movies on the macbook pro first before transfering my itunes library to the SWP EHD or is there an alternative?

Is it your intention to move the whole library to the external (easy) or just the movies (not so easy but possible)?
Alternatively, make two libraries, one for music the other for movies. I don't really see the need to have them all in one library since I know I rarely want to play a song, have it jump to a movie, then another song without interruption.
Let us know your druthers.

Hello Jor_El,

Has anyone used the Seagate wireless plus with an iPad?

I would like to use this wireless external drive to store videos and then stream them to my iPad. Has anyone used this drive and if so how do you like it?

Hi everyone,
I am frustruated with the Seagate Wireless Plus. I think most of you just download movies in it and then watch it on your tablet. I thought this can be my external storage for everything including the content of my iPad. Not so easy!!! I can't see anything from the content of my iPad when I connect it wirelessly to Seagate. I wrote to Seagate and apparently there is another thing called WebDav in order to do it. I think Windows are winning here how easy it is to connect devices. Simply, I can see the demo stuff from the Seagate on my iPad but nothing the other way, no pictures, no music, no videos stored on my iPad can be seen from the Seagate. If there is somebody who can explain to me how to do it before I will return the Seagate to the retailer please do it in a way normal people understand. Don't say "I think" as most of people in these forums do, please say only "I know" and lead me step by step what to do. I have the latest iPad mini with iOS7, 32GB WiFi & Cellular with Retina display. I've already updated the Seagate OS to 2.2.0.005 exactly as they advise by installing the 2.1.0.014 prior to that.
Please forgive me for the tone but those 10 hours I spent so far without any results are too valuable to me.
Thanks in advance. Danny.

Want to backup a Seagate Wireless Plus to my Time Capsule via Time Machine

Hi,
I currently have my macbook and an external drive with movies backed up via time machine to a Time Capsule. I want to replace the storage device with a Seagate wireless plus in order to both store and stream data with other platforms in the house. I still want to regularily back up this wireless storage device to Time Capsule as a safety net. Can I do this wirelessly or does the new Seagate drive need to be physically connected to my Mac or to the USB port on the TC? I don't want it to be part of the TC, I just want it to be a disk available for back up to the TC.

Have a long hard think about this.
Reading the review of the seagate, the problems with using a wireless device like this are great..
This device is trying to be a network device.. that is the only way you can connect to wireless.. but at the same time, provide some access to the internet.
Wireless on your computers/idevices cannot connect to two wireless AP's at the same time.. That makes the Seagate useless.
Read the review. http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/review/seagate/wireless_plus_1tb_hard_drive/457705 /
What it is apparently doing is providing a link to your main wireless router.. ie the TC.. so you can have internet at the same time.. but note.. this is extremely slow.. as noted in the review.. the internet speed is really poor due to the lack of proper networking. You are using a box which is effectively a hotspot.. but is linked by wireless to your main router.. If you want a definition of how NOT to use wireless in a network this is it.
Without ethernet connection forget it. To simply have a wireless hotspot to carry around with you.. IMHO there are lower cost and superior ways.. since wireless is not of much use and will be slow.. plug a 2.5" drive directly into your computer. Or use cloud services with a 3G or 4G modem or tether to your phone. Don't forget you can carry around a pretty big store of files now in SD cards.
I also like the idea of being able to take the wireless portable drive wtih me so I can edit photos or view photos from my other laptop on the road.
So you cannot plug the USB drive into the other machine?? Wireless hotspot usage without 3G connection for on road seems to be an expense for not much gain.. but of course if you want it for this great.. just don't expect to put it into the network easily other than by USB. And for that to work I would need to study the specs more closely.. but if you cannot format it HFS+ don't bother. Using iphoto on non-HFS+ drives is not recommended.
If I go with a NAS drive - I can connect that to the TC for connectivity, but then how to incorporate the data on that NAS drive onto the TC as part of the backup.
CCC is $40 software.. it will do whatever you like.
but losing the photos and home videos would be:(
You must be very careful with iphoto library.. and videos more than likely.
iPhoto: Issues with FAT32-formatted drives
iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users
This article states..
It's recommended that you store your iPhoto library on a locally mounted hard drive. Storing your iPhoto library on a network share can lead to poor performance, data corruption, or data loss.
You are playing with fire using the Seagate to edit iphoto library.. and it is important you realise the risk.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a fix?
Thanks,

Trying to download movies on iPad

Trying to download movies and shows from iTunes to iPad and keep getting message...unable to download at this time....been trying for 24 hours. Checked storage on iPad and iCloud and have plenty. Restarted iPad twice. Can't even download old stuff from iCloud. Any suggestions?

On your iPad start iTunes (Not the app store app) and across the bottom you should see a task bar with icons in it. Tap the movies icon and you should be taken to the Movies section of the store.
Tap on a title , search for a title, etc and download and pay for them.
Sync your iPad to your iTunes account (Make sure you have selected movies to sync in iTunes and your new movies will be in the video app on your iPad.
If you know how to rip your own DVD's to MP4 format (The format that iTunes / QuickTimes usese) you can import the ripped videos into iTunes and then drag them onto your iPad (or just sync if you have iTunes set to automatically sync all your videos to your iPad) and you can take your own movies with you. I do this all the time when I buy a new DVD and want to take it with me on a trip. And if you get the cable set you can connect your iPad to your TV and watch your movies on the "Big Screen".

I am trying to download movies and it said to try again later because of an unknown error in itunes. I have tryed 5 more times the next day and it still will not work.

I am trying to download movies and it almost gets fully loaded until the last second when it says that an unknown error has occured and that I need to try again later because of an error in itunes. I have tryed again later 5 times, even the next day and will still not work. Help!

Did you ever get an answer?

HT5731 Have 55GB available, but get error message when trying to download movie to add storage

Have 55GB available, but get error message when trying to download movie to add storage

Go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage. Let all of the apps load in the window. You can see how much storage you have used and how much you have left. You will need about twice the size of the download of free storage in order to be able to download the movie. Also, the iOS will not let you use every bit of available storage on the device.
You can delete content in there if needed, but if you sync with iTunes it's a good idea to transfer purchased into iTunes and backup your iPad before you delete content. If you use iCloud only, backup with iCloud before you delete any content.

Using webdav to save from Pages to seagate wireless plus

Hi, I would like to save directly from pages (iPad) to my seagate wireless plus. I know it should do it but I cannot seem to make the connection to the webdav server. Can anyone help?

Hi,
this depends on the Wireless Plus model. There are new models which were introduced in 2014 (having Firmware Version 4.0.0.x) where I can't tell you how it works because they have changed it obviously.
For the older models, the webdav connection data is:
IP address: 172.25.0.1
username: leave empty
password: leave empty
path: /dav

Can I register a seagate wireless plus external drive as one of my iTunes devices to fix storage problems

Seagate Wireless Plus / Ipad and Sky Go?

I'm thinking of buying a Seagate Wireless Plus device for use with my iPad. Does anyone know if you can use this device to store and watch content from Sky Go? (I already have a Sky Go Extra subscription but no room on the iPad!)

Yep, that's about it. That's why it's advisable to buy as much storage as you can afford.
You can offload other pictures and videos to your computer and delete apps that you no longer need, or at least don't use often. Check in Settings > General > Usage to see what is using the most space on your iPad and go from there.

Can my music on my I Pod Touch be uploaded to a Seagate Wireless Plus. My computer was fried so I am without right now.

My computer was fried, my music is now only on my IPod Touch. Can my music be
Uploaded to my Seagate Wireless Plus (mobile device storage). I am with out a computer right now.

No, you can't export music from the iPod's music app via the Seagate wifi device.
You can export both iTunes purchases and none-Tunes purchases via USB connect to a computer

Hi I'm trying to download movies on iTunes it's sitting in the download tab saying " waiting" it's been like that for a few days how do I fix it. Thanks!!

Hi please help me I'm trying to download movies from iTunes. I've got 3 movies in a frozen "waiting " process?? How do I fix this??!

Downloads happen one at a time. A Downlaod will not start until a previous one has completed.
So first make sure you don't have an App or a podcast downloading somewhere or pasued as it would be holding up the rest of the download queue.
If that is not the case, you can try restarting your iPad to see if that prompts the downloads to start..
Hold down the Home and Pwoer buttons until you see the Apple Logo. Ignore any sliders that may appear.

ITunes Error when trying to download movie

Hi,
I get the same error over and over again when trying to download a purchased movie in iTunes (10.1.2) I was able to download the "Extras" and other content downloads from the iTunes Store, but the movie does not.
I keep getting the message that an "internal server error occured" and the error code is Err = 500.
Two sessions with iTunes customer support does not alleviate the problem.
Please help.

Okay... Don't ignore. Same problem occurs when using Windows 7 machine and the same Novatel modem. Ovation MC998D.
Tried somewhere else and it worked. Must be the cellular modem. Any help would be appreciated.
