I have a 3GS on ios5 and a wifi iPad 2 on ios5. Main computer is windows vista laptop.
I've taken video with my 3GS and can't seem to figure out how to put it on my iPad.
I've tried emailing and the Videos are too long.
I have drop box, and uploaded the video to it. But it doesn't have a button to save videos. I can save my pics from drop box onto my iPad, but no vids.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Brad

Mac or PC?
 
this is one way:
copy photos from iPhone to computer
upload the video to youtube as a private video
download it using www.keepvid.com
drag the icon to movies on iTunes
select on the iPhone summary page on iTunes sync "blank" movie
 
The USB ipad camera adaptor might work. I have used this to move photos/vid between a 4th generation ipod touch and my ipad 2. I have not done it for a while so this would have been with ios4 not 5.

I am quite confident it would work.

The camera adaptor is actually a really good ipad accessory. It is great solution for posting high quality photos to facebook, twitter etc. It is also quite cheap. It works with both my canon 500D and my canon SX120 IS
 
Copy it to your pc, add it to iTunes, and then sync your iPad should do it. A little long winded but should do the trick.
 
Thanks guys and gals for all the tips so far.
Some good optins to think about.
Well i found out photostream doesn't do vids, just photos, but with the whole wireless sync in ios 5 now, can I sync it to iTunes via that? (I haven't used it yet)
Thanks.

Sure can. I love wifi sync, I use it exclusively now and don't plug up at all anymore into my computer. Just once a week or so to have a local back-up.
