1195410 2011-04-18 08:07:00 Hi all

I've realized that Youtube results from my computer is much better than from my iPad...just got my iPad yesterday. From computer I can see official music videos, songs people uploaded with lyrics included. I can't see any of these on the iPad, only crappy fan made covers.

I found a thread on Google talking about this but it doesn't seem to help. Does anyone know a way around this? Thanks a lot.

Any help would be much appreciated.

1195411 2011-04-18 21:56:00 I've noticed that too on my iPhone. It is probably to do with the iDevices not supporting Adobe flash and Google not wanting to create separate youtube pages/videos for the iDevices.

Your only option is to download the videos on your PC and copy them to your ipad to watch them.

Must I download the videos on my computer first, and then convert them to my iPod? If there is a way I can download videos directly.

1195413 2011-05-05 21:25:00 Yes there is don't buy anything from Apple, since so much is in Flash and they don't allow it. I can see there point of view that Flash is vulnerable. But still its a bit draconian not giving the end user the option at all gary67 (56)

There is/was an app for the iphone (jailbroken) called MXTube that downloaded youtube videos directly. Not sure if it's been updated or works on the ipad.

Best option is to download the video in .mp4 format from youtube on your PC and drop it into itunes.

1195415 2011-05-05 23:40:00 I'm using "handbrake" (just google it) to convert videos to .mp4. Do you know any better apps antonworkhub (16343)

Maybe it's because your iPad is new, so the function to to youtube is unstable.

1195417 2011-05-17 04:19:00 If it's about the file formats. Just use handbrake to convert and then pu into you ipad to play. :banana rs1000 (16344)
