How can I send movies (too large for email) from my Mac mini to an Ipad 1 (IOS 5) or Ipad 2 (IOS 9) ? Where would they reside so I could access them? Do I need to have the same Apple ID on both devices?
iPad 2, iOS 9
Yes! I purchased a Fire HD 7 for a trip, specifically so I could load movies onto an SD card and just play them. Worked out great!
You would probably need an SD card reader; those are fairly cheap. Consider picking up 1 of the tablets to give this a try, then purchase more if it works out :)
If you work for a non-profit, you might be able to get purchases tax-exempt also.

I think you got it! Thank you so much Lyssa, this is much more than I had hoped for.
And isn't it great that we can have this discussion on an Apple website? I think so.
Thank you Lyssa, and thank you Michel for a great plan.
Hopefully this works out for you!
The iPad is a great device, and when you're looking for a "swiss army knife" type of device, it's a really good fit.
But, for single-purposes, sometimes looking elsewhere makes more sense.
Good luck!

Thanks Michel. I guess that’s the best I can do.
I think I will ask the source people if they can do something for me. Maybe a special download package from their website???
I DL'd it and tried to instasll but was stoppede with this message:
If still running macOS Big Sur, Big Sure IS the last version of macOS that can use iTunes.
Install the version I linked to onto your Mac.
Okay.
I tried.
macOS 10.13 is High Sierra.
I tried, I guess no iTunes for Big Sir then.
Did you have any luck using the macOS Finder, at all?
HEY!
Check out this link and see if you want try this on Big Sur.
A very recent posting.

BTW, these files were found after a restore from another Ipad. I didnt` load them from my Mac Mini. I couldn't find a way to do that with Finder.
Okay,
Then look for a 2013 iPad Air, 1st gen.
As long as you understand that iPad year and model will never be upgrade-able beyond whatever the last IOS 12 version will be.
Good Luck to You!
Thanks Lyssa! Interesting... Can a 8GB Fire tablet show video off of a 64GB SD card?
This might be just the ticket for me.
