So everyone has heard of an Ipod by this point, and most people own one. However when it comes to actually taking advantage of all the features and functions an Ipod is capable of, we don't always have the necessary knowledge, nor detailed enough instructions to achieve what we desire.
I for example had quite a lot of trouble downloading movies onto my ipod, though I knew that without a doubt it was possible. So once I finally succeeded I thought it would be a good idea to take that information and put it into article form so that others might benefit. So here is my step by step guide on how to download movies on your ipod, it should make the process easy and achieveable.
First you will need to find somewhere to actually download the movies from in the first place, and usually this means some sort of subscriber website. I have included a link at the bottom of this article which should take you to a review of the two best movie and music download sites available at the moment.
The next step is of course to find the movie you want to watch on the subscriber site. Once you have found the desired movie, make sure you choose the Video Ipod/ Sony PSP download option. This is simply to ensure that you get the correct file type to be watched on your Ipod. Then download the file to a place on your computer, it is best to create a folder called IpodMovies or something similar so you will know exactly where they are.
Once the file has been completely downloaded to your computer, it is time to connect your Ipod to the computer via its USB cord. Open the Apple iTunes application. Select 'Add File to Library' from the 'File' menu in the iTunes application. Browse your computer for the video you previously downloaded and click 'Open.' Then Click 'Edit,' then click 'Preferences in the iTunes application. Once that is done click the 'iPod' tab, then click 'Videos,' and then 'Automatically update all videos.' Lastly, you should click 'OK.'
Itunes will then automatically copy the movie from your computer to your Ipod. Once this has been done all you need to do to play back your movies on your iPod is click 'Videos,' then click 'Movies'.
If all instructions above have been followed correctly you should have been able to successfully download a movie on your Ipod, and been able to watch it. As you can see, it is not a complicated process and you should be able to achieve this quite easily.
As mentioned above, one of the most important parts of this process is picking the right subscriber site. The wrong one will not have the selection you desire, and could end up costing you more than you are willing to pay if it charges download fees. So I have created a small page with links to two great Ipod sites which do not charge download fees and have a massive selection of movies. But don't take my word for it, check them out for yourself and pick the right one for you. Click here to check out my two favourite Ipod download sites. |
