Add videos to your library
Buy or rent videos from the iTunes Store.
Tap Store in the Videos app, or open the iTunes Store app on iPad, then tap
Movies or TV Shows. The iTunes Store is not available in all areas. See .
Transfer videos from your computer.
Connect iPad, then sync videos from iTunes on your computer. See Sync with
iTunes (on page) .
Stream videos from your computer.
Turn on Home Sharing in iTunes on your computer. Then, on iPad, go to
Settings > Videos and enter the Apple ID and password you use for Home
Sharing on your computer. Then open Videos on iPad, and tap Shared at the top
of the list of videos.
Convert a video for iPad.
If you try to sync a video from iTunes and a message says the video can’t play
on iPad, try converting the video. Select the video in iTunes on your computer,
then choose File > Create New Version > Create iPad or Apple TV Version. Then
sync the converted video to iPad.
Delete a video.
Tap Edit in the upper right of your collection, then tap on the video
thumbnail. If you don’t see the Edit button, look for on your video
thumbnails—those videos haven’t been downloaded to iPad, so you can’t delete
them. To delete an individual episode of a series, tap the series, then swipe left
on the episode in the Episodes list.
Deleting a video (other than a rented movie) from iPad doesn’t delete it from the
iTunes library on your computer or from your purchased videos in iCloud, and
you can sync the video or download it to iPad again later. If you don’t want to
sync a deleted video back to iPad, set iTunes to not sync the video. See Sync
with iTunes (on page) .
Important: If you delete a rented movie from iPad, it’s deleted permanently and
cannot be transferred back to your computer.
