if they are in your camera roll try using the file browser. it is the same window you can see your c drive and other disc drives in. your ipad would be listed there and if you open the ipad from here you open internal storage>dcim then check the folder or folders listed for your video.

if its a download from the itunes store you will want to transfer purchases using itunes.

this should work. if your on a windows computer then open up the folder "Computer"/"My PC". Next, find your idevices name and open it up like its a forler. Then open up the next file you see like its also a folder. Then try out any random folder untill you find your video. Then simply select and copy the video ( Ctrl + C) and paste it where you want it to be (Ctrl + P). That should work. P.S. Dont rename any folders.

The only place I can see the video on my ipad is Videos only. What now??

Do you mean the Videos App? or the Videos Album in the Photos app?

If in the Videos App, there is no way to get it out from there. However if its in the Videos App it was transferred to the iPad via iTunes which suggests it existed somewhere else before hand.

If its in the Videos Album in the Photos App, then how did it get there? Was it taken with the iPad? Or downloaded from somewhere?

In which case it should be reachable through the Camera Wizard on Windows or iPhoto on a Mac.

I am having a similar issue. I have never had any problems emailing videos and photos to myself but all of sudden it has stopped working. I have checked all my settings etc. but no luck! Even called tech support and they couldn't help me.......I have rebooted an also reset my iPad but still no luck. HELP?????

If the video is important try this...

EMail it to yourself if the file isn't to large to send

OR

upload it to dropbox or google drive then download dropbox or google drive to your computer and find the file in the google drive or dropbox and copy tk to your computer

If u need more info on the 2nd one i can go into more detail

I think what I stated was misunderstood but I did fix my issue by completely re installing the system. The problem was that if I tried to email a photo or video via share from my ipad I would get a response as though the item had been emailed but it would never arrive in the email. I am good to go again. Thanks for your responses.

When you connect your iPad to your computer, it will show up in the list of devices as a Camera device. Click on the device and subsequent folders and you should eventually see any photos or videos that were in your camera roll. Just click/copy the ones you want to transfer videos from iPad to computer.

You do not need any other apps! You should be able to simply plug a USB cable into your iPad and PC and the phone will then appear as a storage device on the PC.Choose "Open device to view files", then it will appear as a storage device. Go to the DCIM directory and you will find another folder, which are different in different computer, look in that folder and you will find the photos and clips. Otherwise, you can use iTunes to transfer these video from iPad to computer, which is similar to Mac.

I'm having a similar or the same problem, you are not the only one, jut one question, how long is the video?

I'm having this problem with a 45 minutes video, browsing the web I found more people with similar problems with long videos. for all the people trying to help I'll try to describe the problem. the video was shot with the camera app, it appears on Photos and on the videos album, I can watch the video, I looked on Icloud to see if it was there but no. the problem is that wen you connect the iPad to the PC as a camera, ALL other photos and videos ARE there EXCEPT for the one video, is like a ghost video that only appears on the Ipad.

Any suggestions?

I have exactly the same issue as you- as soon as the video goes over the 20 min mark it turns into a ghost video and there is no way to get it off the phone! I haven't found any solutions yet but hopefully someone will find something! I need these videos on my computer and i can't have them taking up space on my phone. Its two videos for me, both over 8GB in size.
