Hi, is anyone here who wouldn't mind helping me prepare my ipad with videos so I can watch them on the plane?

@Aequitas what does "help" mean in this context?

guide me, like i'm not an idiot and won't need 10 minute explanation how to plug it in and stuff

I know with apple stuff you can't just copy and paste files and expect to be able to watch them

load the videos into iTunes, connect the iPad to your computer and select the videos you want to sync over. then sync

any way without iTunes

dropbox might work (assuming it's a video format the iPad knows how to play)

@TheBro21 The problems are not identical, there might be solutions which fit only one or the other. So I wouldn't consider this to be a duplicate, even if one of the solutions may work in both situations.
