Q: Transfer videos from iPhone to iPad

I have videos that I took with my iPhone 6s that do not appear on my iPad Air 2. All still photos do appear on my iPad.

How can I get the videos transfered to my iPad?

Both iPad and iPhone have the latest operating systems.

Thanks for your help.

Hi fcg1936,

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

From your question, it sounds like you are using iCloud Photo Library to keep your photos and videos stored in iCloud so that all of your devices have the same data. If this is correct, I would suggest reading over the following iCloud Photo Library FAQ to ensure that this service is set up correctly across your devices.

Thank you for your response, but I am not using "iCloud Photo Library" or "iCloud Photo Sharing". I am just using "My Photo Stream".

The Apple store suggested that I use "Airdrop" which I believe only works when I have WiFi. Is there another way of transferring videos from my iphone 6s to my iPad Air 2?

Thanks,

Hey fcg1936,

Thanks for responding with this clarification. The reason your videos are not showing up on your iPad is because My Photo Stream does not include videos, only photos.

Which photo formats can I use with My Photo Stream?
My Photo Stream supports JPEG, TIFF, PNG, and most RAW photo formats. My Photo Stream doesn't work with video.

My Photo Stream FAQ - Apple Support

That being said, you do have a couple of options to have the same photo and video content on both devices. My first suggestion would be use iCloud Photo Library. Using this service on both devices will automatically keep all of your devices up to date and current automatically.

iCloud Photo Library FAQ - Apple Support

If you do not want to use iCloud Photo Library, you can import your photos and videos from your devices to your computer and then sync the photos back to each device. Instructions for importing photos and videos can be found in the following article.

The next article will be able to assist you in syncing this content back to your devices using iTunes.

Cheers!
