Why won't video taken on iPad2 sync to Macbook?

Hi -
I need to get a reply from someone who is using all apple devices becauser I understand the PC experience may be different.
I want to get video I took with my iPad2 to my MacBook.  The videos are too big to email and they have not transferred via iCloud.
I  sync'd my iPad2 with the Mac in the normal way but they did not come over (I had "include video" checked) with some photos.  The photos came over to the Macbook but not the videos.
I even tried to transfer them using DropBox but because the video file is over 180MB - I wasn't allowed that transfer.  Even so - I shouldn't have to use any other anything to transfer files from one apple product to another so I'm not interested in those solutions.  I would prefer for it to "just work".
If I knew the exact steps I could get it done in less than the 2+ hours I've already spent. 
Is there a way to drag from one device to another?
How do I get videos taken with the iPad2 to my MacBook??
TIA
J2

You should be able to copy them off via iPhoto, Aperture, Image Capture : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083

  • Why won't iTunes 11.0.1 sync my Podcasts to my 3rd Gen iPod Touch on IOS 6.0.1?

    Why won't iTunes 11.0.1 sync my Podcasts to my 3rd Gen iPod Touch on IOS 6.0.1?  I'm running iTunes on my MacBook with Mac OSX 10.6.8.  I've checked to make sure in iTunes that the Podcast Sync box is checked and it is.  I've tried checking communities and tried several suggestions and nothing seems to work for me.  Everything else syncs except Podcasts.  I can't figure it out. Any suggestions to get Podcasts syncing to my iPod Touch again?  Thanks!

    One other step I've tried was removing and completely reinstalling the playlist to the iPod. That cleared up the problem for about two days.

  • Why won't videos play on my new iPad 2 14gb? They either constantly buffer, stop and I have to press play again, play sound only etc.

    Why won't videos play on my new iPad 2 14gb? They either constantly buffer, stop and I have to press play again, play sound only etc.

    Thanks .Ralph.  The problem is only on the iPad 2only.  I have an iPad 1 as well and it never had the problem.  The only videos that I have tried are you tube and the tutorials on apple.com.  I have absolutely no problem on either of my laptops or desktop PC's.  Only the iPad 2.    I am a new Apple user, so not very familiar yet with the product, but this is an absolute deal breaker for me.  With Apple's reputation I was not expecting any such problems and it is beyond my skill set to solve it.  Very frustrating.  Again, no problem with you tube videos.  I don't watch movies, so am not a Netflix member and haven't tried that yet, only you tube videos and apple.com tutorial videos.  I have to watch those on my laptop.  Again, I found a fix to the you tube problem.  It was a link to a site.  www.youtube/html5.  html5 video player trial that you click on and once done, the videos on the you tube app started working great.  They were doing the same thing as the tutorial videos prior to that.  No such luck with the other web videos, at least the ones that i have tried. Hope this is enough info and understandable. You might check out the html5 site.  I didn't thoroughly understand why, but it worked.  You may understand it better.  I am a proficient user, but far from an I.t. Pro.  I have read Many posts with similar problems, but no simple solutions and the ones I did try didn't work.  Speed tested well.  Channel is set to auto and always different than neighboring networks, usually channel 11.  Tried disabling QOS as suggested....no good.   I am completely stumped.   Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thanks very much for you time and helpful info.

  • Why won't videos sync with iphoto from my mac book pro to my ipad

    I have downloaded photos and video taken recently to my mac book pro, however when I sync my iPad to my mac book pro just the photos are imported, the videos are not transferred to my iPad, why?

    They need to be in the correct format to play on the iPad 2.  This is 720p H.264 Main Profile 3.1, AAC audio at 128k bitrate stereo.  You can transfer videos to the iPad really easily with Pic Share it.  You just drag and drop them from the Mac to the iPad and the video will show up in your camera roll.  It's a free application.

  • Why are all videos taken on my Cannon Rebel EOS T31 all of a sudden blurry?

    I have a Cannon Rebel EOS T3i. I have had it for about 3 months. Everything was okay, but for the last month all the video I have tried to take come out blurry. It wasn't that way before. Does anyone have an idea of what I might have done, or why all the videos are blurry?  Thanks for any help you can give.

    Iriscat,
    Autofocus on DSLR's for film has been mostly a pipe dream until recently. The feature is there and it can work in some instances where very little movement is occurring but basically, the technologies of autofocus and DSLR video, for whatever reason, are newer in development than your camera (and mine) This simply means that you need to learn to manual focus. This is not too bad for a film maker, because he/she wants to get a great and very specific focus generally (in one situation - near, in another - far.) But if you're filming your granddaughter's birthday party or a football game, you're going to find it quite challenging. The technology is not really for that. Honestly, your salesperson should have informed you of this. Better autofocus is gotten out of camcorders. They bring everything into focus instead, and the depth of field is what a filmmaker would consider boring.
    I hope this helps. You can get your $$ out of a DSLR on ebay if you desire to move on.

  • Why won't address book close (or sync with ipod)

    When I open address book to edit or add contacts, it will not close. The spinning wheel appears and then I have to force quit. I have also found that my ipod video will no longer sync with address book. It asks me to open the contact list whenever I try.
    I tried deleting all my cards and reentering the information, but that has not helped. There is something wrong with the address app itself.
    I used to have a palm device set up, but I have removed it and all palm files.
    This is the info provided by console:

    You are right theldje
    BUT...This is no the way that is supposed to work.
    I have to modify 300+ years! and it took me 5 min to convince AddressBook that I write fast enough to change the year
    Besides, this is Apple. It's supposed to be user friendly.
    I hope this people comes with an answer soon!
    At any rate thank you for sharing your findings!
    Cheers!

  • Why is my video exporting out of sync with the audio?

    Every time I export it (and it takes some 2 hours just to export a draft version) the video is sped up, but the audio isn't, so that the video is out of sync and at the end there's just black space with the end of the audio.
    Both the video footage and the composition have the same frame rate (24p). I am exporting with Render Settings set to DV settings and output module set to Quicktime DV NTSC 48kHz
    When I edit it I've been timing it to the seconds and frames because it's such a large file that I can barely RAM preview 5 seconds of it, and so it's especially frustrating that it's completely off when it exports.
    Has this ever happened to anyone here?

    Ahhh, right.
    I'm using After Effects CS5.
    The footage I'm using is in .mov format, although to be honest I'm not sure about the codec  (I imported it straight to After Effects from my Canon 7D's memory card? I think it's H.264)
    I also have some PNG sequences.
    I used the AE Render Queue.
    The computer I'm using runs OSX.

  • Why Won't Videos Play On Fox News?

    I saw this was asked some time back and they said to clear History. I did what they said and still they won't play. Issue just started today.

    Thanks - but not sure why this did not affect Internet Explorer as well. It has to be a Firefox issue; not a Flash issue. I will remove the 11.3 and look back to previous version or just - for the time being - just forget videos on Fox News or got to I E to see them. But noticed that this has happened with Fox and Firefox in the past as well. Thanks again.

  • Why won't videos play on my pad anymore?

    Hello
    I used to be able to read at least youtube videos on my ipad, but not anymore, for an obscure reason. The videos seem to be loading, but a click on the play button won't make it start. Would you know why and how to fix it?
    Thank you!

    I have a similar problem. More info for my case. ...
    iOS 5.1.1, orig iPad.
    Play button changes when touched, but does not start playing.
    MLB.com, YouTube, and other magazine-style sites are affected.
    This is NOT the Flash video problem. Those still load with the play button x-Ed out.
    Some videos, e. g. Facebook ones, play, sometimes.
    The problem started for me about two weeks ago.
    I tried to fix by a full power down and restart. That didn't help.
    I saw on another thread to try "reset". I'll try that next.

  • Why won't the folders in Mail sync consistently across my iMac, MacBook, iPad and iPhone?

    Ok, this one is complex; here's the deal..... 
    I'm using a single Gmail account with Mail on an iMac, MacBook, iPad and iPhone, using Lion and iOS 5. The 4 respective 'Mails' are not synchronising consistently between each other.  Here's what's going on:
    Received messages are appearing in all 4 Inboxes.
    If a message is deleted from any of the 4 Inboxes, it is deleted from all other Inboxes.
    So far so good. But:
    When I create a draft message, or delete a message from the Sent folder - iMac and Macbook sync with each other, and iPad and iPhone sync with each other, but each 'pair' won't sync with the other 'pair'.
    But to complicate things further (and this is the one which is driving me up the wall), let's look at the Sent folder:
    If I send a message from the iMac or Macbook, the message appears in all 4 Sent folders.
    But if I send a message from the iPad or iPhone, those 2 devices will sync their Sent folders, but the message will NOT appear in the Sent folders of the iMAc or MacBook.
    So what is going on there? I've spoken to numerous One-to-One staff and Apple technicians on the phone over the last 12 months, we've checked settings, I've deleted and then reinstalled the Gmail account on Mail - but no success.  Please solve this for me!!

    The reason I asked is because keying all devices synced is exactly what it is all about.
    FYI, You need to use the Mail application, but you do NOT need to use an @me.com account. It support Gmail and other mail servers.

  • Why won't videos open and play?

    Using Safari, I try to open video from Facebook and other sites and they won't open or play. I can sometimes get them to load and play if I download them and open them in a separate window. Also, I have been opening them in Chrome and they all open and play. What's up with Safari?

    DebG154, I have similar issues. Uninstalling, reinstalling flash only worked until the next time I turned the computer on/off. If I want to use flash, I have to reinstall every time.
    I have a folder  "/Home/Library/Internet Plug-Ins" 
    which contains "Flash Player.plugin"  = Adobe Flash Player   11.9 r900
    I also have a folder  "/Home/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Disabled Plug-Ins"  which is empty
    I noticed a folder in "/Home/Library/Internet Plug-Ins (Disabled)"
    There is only one file in there = "Flash Player.plugin"  = Adobe Flash Player 10.1 r102
    I didn't put it there, nor did I disable Flash myself. This may have been put there by the process of updating the flash player ?? I updated the version of Flash about two weeks ago to current version (Plug-in version 11.9.900.152 is installed) and since then I have these problems trying to play videos.
    Safari Version 5.1.10 (6534.59.10)
    iMac with
    System Version:          Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549)
      Kernel Version:          Darwin 10.8.0
    I sent bug reports with screenshots to Apple. No response.
    I would appreciate if someone could help.
    Thanks

  • Why won't videos load on instagram, youtube, facebook, etc

    For a week, my phone has not loaded videos when I am on facebook, instagram, youtube, or anywhere else. It plays my camera roll videos but I dont understand why. I thought it was because of my school wifi so I turned it off but it didnt work on LTE either... I don't know whats going on. HELP!!!!!!!!

    Look at the following setting:
    "Settings" > "Cellular" >
    Make sure that "Cellular Data" is enabled.
    Also, look through the "Use Cellular Data" list and make sure that the YouTube and other apps are enabled .

  • Why won't Final Cut Pro X sync multicam clip?

    I am using two Canon 5D mkii cameras and an H4N to make short videos. When I select the clips from camera A and camera B and the H4N and click to make a multicam clip it always tries to sync the camera A and B files onto one angle instead of each camera having it's own angle. My work around right now is to make a multicam clip just using one camera and the audio (which syncs correctly) and then adding an angle and manually syncing the second camera. This wastes so much of my time though. Is there an easier way?

    Try going into the inspector and filling in the "camera name" and "angle" fields for all the clips, then try to create a new Multicam clip again.

  • Why won't videos play on my iPhones

    I can't get videos from places like The Commons on flicker to play. Can any one explain why?

    I am not familiar with the particular reference you made (The Commons).  But I suspect this video expects to be shown using Adobe Flash on your computer.
    iPhone (and iPad) do not support Adobe Flash.
    There are probably alternate flash players you can find in the App Store.
