Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.


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.)

Okay, first question...what is the Camera Connection Kit? The only thing in my box was the USB cord (is this the Camera Connection Kit?) and the wall charger...guess not! I was watching the video and I guess that means more money and I cannot afford that right now...:(


I did download the User Guide the very first day so that I would have it all the time and some of it just confused me. Before I joined the community here, I was asking questions of some friends that have iPads, iPods, and other Apple products. One of them steered me here because I was waiting sometimes all day for answers...which was no real big deal since I work from home and could check in often. Problem with a community like this is that if I get busy with work and cannot check in for awhile then I lose my place! LOL
