Well, I finally went out and bought my own Ipad 2 for work and personal stuff.  Here's my question; I've purchased/downloaded several movies in Ipad/Ipod format, but I can't seem to find a viewer to watch them.  To test it to make sure I'm not a complete idiot, I purchased a movie from ITunes and loaded it on to the Ipad.  When I go into Utilities/Videos, the movie doesn't show up.



What am I doing wrong?




Thanks!

Mine always appear in the in the "Video" button that looks like the Scene/Take board Hollywood gave us.  If you do a search does it appear anywhere else in your system, or in iTunes?  If you can find it in iTunes make sure you have the "Sync" block checked so it transfers to the iPad.

I don't use "The Cloud" but could it be there, and your access is off?

It doesn't show up there, but if I connect it to my laptop Itunes sees it on the Ipad and I can even view it on my laptop via Itunes.

Please tell me you didn't just buy it like this week?  The IPAD 3 will likely be anounced today and IPAD 2s will likely drop in price a couple hundred dollars...

If you could return it, I think I would

I am seriously considering one but waiting on the iPAD 3 or the price drop on the one you bought.

Did you drag it from itunes on your computer to the IPAD and sync it?  I don't have an IPAD but with the IPOD and IPHONE you simply get the videos into itunes.  Then you connect your ipod or iphone and then select that in itunes on the left.  Go to the videos tab and select the videos you want to sync and click the button to sync them up.
