Hey,

I'm giving an iPad to my parents for my christmas and, you see, it's a bit of a hassle as I first have to learn and understand everything myself. Is there a way to sync video over WiFi? Even when the files are huge, WiFi would be fast enough I suppose, wouldn't it? Is there an app, anything? I find connecting an iPad by cable not so good in general. (I also did find the checkbox 'Sync iPad wirelessly' in iTunes, but I saw no results, so...?)

Greetings,
Pete

Did you actually select any videos to sync in iTunes?

Because that's how it's done.

Well, yes, somehow, over WiFi I can't find my iPad at all (on a PC, unfortunately). Don't know why, for now, it only works over USB...

Do you have iCloud set to sync Photostream in System Preferences?

Photo Stream does not touch video. Its iCloud settings are irrelevant.

Nothing. It's completely irrelevant to what you're trying to do.

If I understand you correctly, when it doesn't sync videos, the iPad isn't found at all by iTunes.
That would mean that nothing else syncs properly, either.

So: when the other syncing works (via USB), so will video.

When video doesn't sync (via Wi-Fi), nothing else syncs either.

Is this correct?

If it is, you need to figure out why the iPad isn't found via Wi-Fi. This has nothing at all to do with videos in particular.

Yes, right, let's see; I'm trying to figure this out and get back then...
