Q: I am a new user. I have created iPad versions of videos, but I can't get them to synch from my iMac to my IPad

I am a new user. I have created iPad versions of videos, but I can't get them to synch from my iMac to my IPad. I have consulted the Help section, but the videos do not appear in the iTunes library as movies.

iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.2)

    Did you add the file to your iTunes library after converting, if you used 3rd party software to convert?

    Did you already check this article?

    Pad2, the new iPad Supported Video Formats & Movie Formats

     

    • H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
    • MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
    • Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format

     

    You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit to import the videos.

     

    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).

     

    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)
