Method 3. How to Transfer Movies to iPad with iTunes
You can transfer movies from your computer to your iPad using iTunes, making it easy to put movies on your iPad without needing any third-party software.
You can transfer movies to your iPad using iTunes in two ways: syncing or File Sharing. Syncing will automatically put the videos into the corresponding app on your iPad, while File Sharing allows you to transfer videos to apps like iMovie that also support file sharing.
Since the way to sync movies to iPad has been detailed in many guides, here I'd like to show you how to sync movies to iPad via iTunes File Sharing.
To put videos to iPad via iTunes File Sharing:
Step 1. Connect your iPad to your computer with a USB cable, and iTunes should launch automatically.
Step 2. Unlock your device and trust the computer. If required, enter your device passcode.
Step 3. Select the device icon and choose "File Sharing" to see a list of video-related apps that support file sharing.
Step 4. To copy videos to another app, such as iMovie, select the app and add the video file to it. You can either drag and drop the desired videos into the app's window or click "Add File" to add them. The video will then be automatically copied to your device.
Step 5. When you have finished, open iMovie and click the download icon.
Step 6. To transfer videos to your iPad from a PC, select "iTunes" and then choose "Import [number] Files". This will allow you to successfully transfer videos to your iPad.
Method 4. How to Put YouTube Videos on iPad
To transfer videos from your PC or laptop to your iPad, you can use one of three methods: using iTunes, AirDrop, or a cloud service like Google Drive or Dropbox. Alternatively, you can also download online videos directly to your iPad using a URL.
Qiling MobiMover, an iOS data transfer tool, can also be used as a video downloader, allowing you to download videos from websites like YouTube, Twitter, Vimeo, and more directly to your computer or iPhone/iPad.
You can use it to save YouTube videos to your computer or mobile device for offline watching without ads or plugins. For more details, refer to the guide on how to download YouTube videos to iPad.
