If I lose power, I want to be able to watch movies on iPadIII. I have movies stored on my MBP15 and my rMBP13 and also on a backup disk but the iPad doesn't have a USB. How can I transfer if internet is down? I want this so my mom (who is 85) can watch movies if we lose power. I will buy anything necessary so I hope you can help me. Thank you. :-)
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5), iPadIII and MBP15
You can sync the movies to the iPad using the cable. You don't need WiFi in order to do that.

Thank you very much for helping me. :-)
When I attach my iPad to my MBP, it wants to transfer photos from iPad to Mac. That is not what I want to do. The movies are on a WD Passport. Do I need to copy them back to my MBP to then transfer them to the iPad?
Is wireless the only way to get things onto iPad?
