Save and Transfer YouTube Videos to an iPad

Feb 18, 2012 by     4 Comments    Posted under: videos

Sometimes, to teach a class, its can be helpful to save a local, temporary copy of a YouTube video to your computer and transfer it to an iPad. Then the iPad can play the video from its “Photo Roll” without being connected to the Internet. This is especially helpful in places where wifi Internet access to YouTube is not available. In this four minute tutorial, Wesley Fryer explains how to use the free website saveyoutube.com along with the $2 iPad application PhotoSync (and free desktop companion software) to do this.

    Quick question. You mentioned at the end that it stores a temporay video. Please elaborate on this. Does this mean that the video can be played a certain number of times or is it stored for a limited amount of time? Thanks
