Can I put a bunch of itunes purchased movies in it so I can watch them on the ipad during long airplane rides? Will the play directly off the device?

they will play off of the device but with buffering. best solution would be to transfer movies that you want to watch, then delete when done.this device is worth every penny. my primary use is to shoot pictures and video during the day on iPad and cross load at night. ready to go again next day. keeps iPad memory clear and potential unlimited storage on SD cards. power independent once it is charged. three weeks of video all kept safe.

Yes!!!!! Yes to both questions!!!! This device is awesome! I load an SD card up, pop it in, throw my airstash in my purse along with my iPad mini and I'm good to go. Love it!

Yes you can. And you can use large capacity SD cards. I have over 75 movies on my 128 GB card. The Airstash functions as a wireless hard drive. Of course you can plug it into any USB port as well (I know iPads don't have one).

I think that you can do this. The way that I do it is using PlayLater to record from amazon or Netflix and then copy those recordings to the airstash. I'm not positive that iTunes purchases work the same way but I think it does.

You are able to connect to the network if it is plugged into an ethernet jack. Like I am able to access movie files from wireless computer and wireless harddrive, but I am not sure about an ipad app since I don't have an ipad. I would think you wouldn't be able to if you're watching it from an app, probably if it was stored on your ipad. I would look at apple tv if you want to stream things from your ipad to your tv.

Yup 100% as long as you're using either the actual iphones player and/or amazon cloud (i only mention this because I have used other media players on my ipod)

I have not tried to stream video from iTunes, however I have streamed movies from netflix . Why would it not work, the apps are included in the note book. D.L.

you can watch other movies on you ipad with other apps, but from what I can tell, you must use the sandisk app to play, which works fine

My husband has transferred DVDs to our iPhone and iPad. I don't know exactly how he did it, but it can be done. Maybe through a cloud? That would be my guess. Alright, he said he used some type of software.

I connect my Ipad and play any file from iPad. I think you need a player because hard drive will not play any file for you.

There are a couple of ways to do that, the easiest being to "authorize" your laptop to play your iTunes library (you can authorize up to 5 devices) and use the iCloud if you don't want to download the songs onto your laptop hard drive. You can also use google and Amazon's clouds to store files. Otherwise, you can "share" your library or us "Air Play."

I don't use I tunes but it will allow it from media played which is obviously native to most of the PC operating, sorry not an apple fan!

The answer is YES. I HAVE it and use it on ALL my Apple devices. In fact, I started using it FIRST on my mini before I used it on my 'biggie' (iPad Air). It will charge it and play the movies at the same time if you have them plugged in.

I am wondering something similar. Can this be used to store the iTunes library to be accessed with Apple TV (then sent through the A/V receiver?)

I do not use iTunes, or Apple products, but this portable hard drive could easily be used to install anythinf from a dvd to your selected device. It might be batter if you would installyour music to your computer, then connect your device and download the music to your device. Then you can load your selection again at anytime easily.

Yes, I can be watching a movie on my IPad and my phone will ring, it will pause the movie while I talk on the phone. This thing is amazing, I love it!!

But how do you go about putting videos onto your card. Can you just click and drag stuff out of your itunes library and drop them off in the Removable Disk "g" folder? If not please tell me in detail!

I've never used an iPad before. But, the disc does contain just a bunch of PDFs. So, if you can copy them over to your hard drive on your iPad, and assuming that there's a way to see them there, you should be fine.

No. You will have to use a computer and either stream from the Internet or use built-in DVD drive. This also has an iPod/iPhone 30 pin connector and stream from there. Hope that helps.

I haven't tried doing that. I just download my itunes music/ movies onto it.
