Transferring Movies

[original poster]

I have all my movies stored in iTunes on my iMac however i sync my iPad 2 from my MacBook Air.

How would I get the movies from my iMac to my MBA to sync onto my iPad?

Could I email them from my iMac to the MBA and save into iTunes on the MBA to then sync them?

Thanks in advance!

One way would be to use Dropbox. Just sign up, install it on both computers and your iPad, and you'd be all set.

Dropbox has a 2 gig limit so not much use, any other ideas?

setup a network between your desktop and laptop and transfer the movies that way...

You can still use Dropbox if you use a program like Filesplitter.
Split the file to under 2Gs, transfer, then join back together.

iTunes and Home Sharing will do the trick just fine.

1.This works on both Windows + Macs and iTunes 9 or higher, go the Advance tab and select Turn on Home Sharing.

2. Sign in with your Apple ID and click Create Home Sharing (do the same with your other computers)

3. Once You've enabled this on other computers, they will appear under the Shared Tab, select your other computer from which you want to import the media file from

4. Select the media type and locate which file you want, then on the bottom right corner click Import.

5. Or set your computers to Automatically import new Media with each other.
