Do you want to learn how to transfer movies to iPad? For the most part, the solution most would recommend is the regular iTunes software. But the question itself is not that simple! You might not be aware of this, but there are other third-party programs available that will allow you to transfer movies to your iPad (or any iDevice really), be it Apple Movies or Movies sourced elsewhere. We’re going to be showing you how to use one of those third-party programs at the very end of this article — so, make sure to stick around to be enlightened on modern advancements in transfer software !
To start off, we’re going to be teaching you the basic way of transferring movies to your iPad with the iTunes software. This should serve as a pretty good comparison point when we get to the actual tutorial on the third-party program we introduced earlier. Is it really that difficult to transfer movies to your iPad? Well, not exactly. However, iTunes is known to be highly restrictive when it comes to the type of content that it allows (which makes for some stressful situations.) That is why we really only recommend this particular method for those who buy into the Apple ‘economy.’ That is people who purchase music, videos, etc. from the Apple Store only.
Steps to Transfer Movies to iPad with iTunes
Step 1 — Connect Your iPad!
The first step in using iTunes to transfer movies to your iPad is to make sure that your device is connected to your PC! If it’s connected properly, you should be able to see a device icon at the top of the iTunes interface (circled in the image below.) Select the device icon in order to access your Device’s settings.
Step 2 — Movies > Sync Movie
Next, it’s time to move to the “Movies” tab (1) under settings (the sidebar on the left-hand side of the screen.) Upon doing that, you will be able to turn on the automatic Sync options — by clicking the box beside the Sync Movies option (2.)
Depending on what you want to transfer, you can choose to either specifically select the video you want to transfer OR click the Automatically Include box to sync everything (3.)
Step 3 — Apply & Sync!
Once you’ve changed the settings to your preferences, you can then save by clicking the Apply button. After this, your Movies should now automatically be transferred to your iPad whenever you Sync your iTunes to your iPad!
