Video transfers without using iTunes

Hi. is there a way of transferring videos from my external hard drive directly to my iphone for viewing without normal syncing with iTunes? i do not have enough space on my mac to copying all the videos into iTunes to be able to sync to my iPhone.
or is there a way of using iTunes to import the file without copying it directly onto my mac. if memory serves, iTunes on windows only collects the links or filepaths to the music files, is there a way of doing this on mac just for the videos and then syncing the videos directly to my iPhone.

thank you. i shall try that very soon. on a related note. does the iPhone play avi /divx coded videos? avi videos that i do have in iTunes do not sync...

  • How to delete video podcast without using iTunes

    My Mac is G5 PPC, OSX 10.4.11, so cannot use
    iTunes to sync Ipad; so is there a way of deleting downloaded video podcasts from the iPad?
    When headphone is connected to the iPad, should the internal speaker not be automatically disconnected like on the iPod?

    Appreciate suggestion, but does not work. Maintaining touch on the title, highlight the video, no delete check mark appears; letting go start the video playing again.
    Kappy's suggestion doesn't work for me either. Just go into the iPod App, click on Podcasts, and swipe to the right. You should get a "Delete" block on the right. That's how it works on my iPad.

    I feel like I should know the answer to this. I can't believe it is a hard question.

    Easy? Right?
    Just plug my iphone in to a mac and copy a photo from the mac to my iphone.
    I don't have internet access - I can't email it, or mobileme it, or dropbox it.

    iTunes. Other than that there is no direct method. However, do try the iPhone forums.

  • I would like to be able to take a video from my camera and download it to several iPads for playback without using iTunes?  Possible?

    I am taking a video for high school and would like to be able to download on multiple iPads without using iTunes.  Is there an app that would aid me in doing this?

    If you have the Apple Camera Connection Kit (CCK) and the video that your camera generates is in one of the formats tha the iPad supports then you can directly move it to the iPad with a USB connection.

  • Is there a way to copy or back up contacts from my Ipod touch without using Itunes?

    Is there a way to copy or back up contacts from my Ipod touch without using Itunes?

    Are you sure that you can transfer contacts from the iPod to Skydrive?
    I would try the links that I previusly provided and try to get iTunes to see the iPOd so you can do everthing right.
    If you find a computer that can see the iPOd yu can update the iPod on that computer.  See:
    iOS 5: Updating your device to iOS 5
    Yu can make that your suncing computer by -
    - Transfering iTunes purchases:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Connect the iPod and make a backup by right clicking on the iPOd under Dvices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore from that backup. That will also update the iPod.

  • How to transfer files from mac to ipad without using itunes

    how to transfer files from mac to ipad without using itunes ???
    as i want to use my ipad for official use as well...please suggest..

    well to be 100% technical, no you didn't but that aside, it good to know there are ways for people to transfer music into the default apps without iTunes, if they have a need.
    I tend to use 3rd party apps for documents, like your mentioned iExplorer etc, which are handy.
    I see from a search the two "apps" you mentioned are not iOS apps, which I had assumed, SyncPod and FreeSync are apps for your computer, that would explain their access to the default Music/Video apps.
    I had wondered how Apple had allowed iOS apps in the store that could get around the sandboxing in iOS of apps.

  • Is there a way to transfer music from PC to IPad without using ITunes

    can I transfer music I already have on my PC windows 7 to my IPad without using Itunes on the PC? I cannot get it to download on my PC.

    Only if you are in a country where you can re-download your iTunes purchases on your iPad's iTunes, and if you've signed up for iTunes Match for the CDs that you've copied - otherwise you will need to go via iTunes on your computer.
    If you are having problems downloading iTunes on your computer then you could try posting in the iTunes for Windows forum and see if anybody there can help.

  • Without using iTunes, I want to browse to an Apple website that shows me the list of devices associated with my Apple Id

    My primary goal:  I want to browse to some Apple website where I have already logged in using my Apple Id and password, and I then want to click a link that will bring me to a page that will show me the Apple Devices that I "own", that are associated with either "me" (whatever that entity Id should be) or with my Apple Id.  Most importantly, I want to do this without using iTunes.  I have seen my list of devices before on an Apple web page, and it even shows the MAC addresses of the devices.  I did not reach this list by using iTunes.
    I know for an absolute fact that an Apple Customer Service rep on the phone showed me some trick for viewing all the devices that I had purchased. There was even a device that another person had purchased and then had sold to me, and this Apple rep showed him how to "disown" the device and she then walked me through how I could take over ownership of the same device).
    The procedure that she walked me through might not have anything to do with my Apple Id.  It might have had to do with some other unique way of identifying myself.   I simply cannot remember, and I cannot imagine what that Id would have been.  I have searched and searched via Google and every result returned by Google always talks about using iTunes to associate an Apple device with my Apple Id.
    My secondary goal:  If this is not the appropriate community to which I should have sent this question, all I can say is that it was the closest match that I could find.  If no one here can help me achieve my primary goal, can you please suggest another community to which I should post my question?
    Thanks!

    After hours and hours of failed searches, I must have used a different keyword in my Google search, and here is the website that I was looking for:
    https://supportprofile.apple.com
    And here is the guy whose website I found that helped me solve my problem:
    http://www.marcomc.com/2011/01/how-to-find-the-list-of-my-apple-registered-produ cts/
    I was going to rant here about how badly Apple designed their "Apple Id" stuff, how they strongly distinguish between using your Apple Id at the online Apple Store vs. using it at the App Store (which you have to get to via iTunes ... quite ridiculous) ... but I won't.  :-)
    Anyway, I hope that the two previously mentioned websites will be of help to others.

  • I downloaded and paid for an app on my ipad, how can I get it free on my iphone without using itunes as my laytop is broken. I cannot seem to find the purchase tab in app store? I am logged in using the same ID

    I downloaded and paid for an app on my ipad, how can I get it free on my iphone without using itunes as my laytop is broken. I cannot seem to find the purchase tab in app store? I am logged in using the same ID

    First, the app must be universal...designed for both iPhone/iPad:
    Tap App Store.
    Make sure you're signed in with the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.
    Tap Updates.
    Tap Purchased on the resulting screen.
    Locate the app in your Purchased tab.
    Tap the download icon.
    The app will begin downloading and you'll be taken back to your home screen.

  • How do I load music on a new ipod without using itunes?

    I am having tons of problems with getting itunes to pull up on my computer. I believe that my computer has a pretty nasty virus in it and it is causing problems with many of my programs (internet explorer, norton, and other programs). I am having my computer worked on later this week so I hope to get the virus taken care of. In the meantime I would like to load some music that I already have on my computer on to my ipod without using itunes.
    When I connect my ipod via the USB cable and pull up that drive I see the files: Calendars, Contacts, and Notes. I am assuming that I need to create a "Music" file that I will then drag-and-drop the MP3 copies from my computer to the newly created file. Is this correct? If not....then what do I need to do?
    Thanks for the much needed help.

  • I have an ipad and forgot the password. I tried to many times and it disabled on me. How do I get back into my ipad without using iTunes and without losing all my saved items.

    I have an ipad 2 WiFi. I was in the hospital having surgery and forgot my password. I tried several times but couldn't get it. I ended up disabling my ipad. There are important pics n notes in there that I need. How can I get back into it without using iTunes (because I bought it second hand, off ebay) and without losing all my saved items. Please help me!

    If it's disabled then it's too late to copy any content off it or to take a new backup, you will have to reset it back to factory defaults by connecting it to a computer's iTunes : Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support
    Have you been backing up to the cloud ? If you have then after resetting it back to factory defaults you can restore to that backup : Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
    If you bought it second hand then had the previous user removed their account from Settings > iCloud (and had Find My iPad enabled) on it ? If not and the iPad is on iOS 7+ then you will have to contact the previous owner to reactivate the iPad after resetting it : Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account - Apple Support

  • I am download ios 8.1.2 direct in my laptop without using itunes. how i can update my iphone 4s with this ios 8.1.2 setup

    i am download ios 8.1.2 in my laptop drive direct without using itunes.how i can install this ios 8.1.2 from my laptop drive

    You need to update your phone before you can restore the backup of his phone to it. Update your phone to iOS 8.0.2 and then you will see both backups as options.
    You can restore a backup created with an older version of iOS to a phone running a newer version but cannot go the other way.
