I took a video on my iPhone that I need to transfer to my iPad but when I email it to myself it compresses too small.

I synced my photos/video to iTunes but my videos seem to get lost in iTunes space and I can't find them on iTunes or my computer. Any other ways to get my video to my iPad?

If you're on windows 7, the iPhone appears in "Computer". You have to dig down 3-4 levels to get to the photos/videos, though. Just double-click on "Apple iPhone", and keep on double-clicking until you get to the videos (at each level, there's only one thing to click on, and so there's absolutely no way to get lost).

send yourself an iMessage to your email (assuming thats what its set up on on you iPad and send away)

I can send my self stuff from iMessage on my mac to my phone and vice verser so I can't see why you can't do it on you phone.

Make sure both devises are on Wifi!!

cool let me know how it goes. Being a video it may take a while but there is no reason why it shouldn't send :)
