Transferring videos, movies or DVD copies from computer to iPad is always a very hot topic among the iPad users. The videos shot by other cameras can be synced to iPad with iTunes, the movies can be purchased directly in iTunes Store, and the DVD copies can be converted to iPad-compatible MP4 files. iPad users can take advantage of multiple methods to transfer videos from computer to iPad. The following post is going to show you several simple methods to finish the task.

Part 1. Transfer Videos from Computer to iPad with iTunes

With iTunes, iPad users have multiple methods to get the videos or movies to their tablet. iPad users can either purchase movies in iTunes Store or sync movies they want with iTunes. Even if the videos or movies are purchased or downloaded elsewhere, iTunes can help users to copy videos from computer to iPad easily.

Purchasing movies on iPad is easy to be done. When iPad is connected to Wi-Fi or LTE connection, users can go to iTunes Store and search for the movies they need, then get the movies on their iPad.

If you don't have Wi-Fi connection at moment, you can purchase movies in iTunes Store on your computer, and sync the videos to your iPad with iTunes.

The videos from elsewhere should be added to iTunes library first. Then the users can sync the videos to iPad.

No matter which method users tried above, iPad users should pay attention to the auto sync of iTunes. The auto sync of iTunes is convenient as it transfers all files from the library to iOS devices, but it erases all the existing files in the tablet. So shutting down auto sync of iTunes and manually syncing videos or movies to iPad will be a good choice if you don't want to lose the available movies in your iPad.
