Can I download an IFM video or audio to watch offline on my iPad?

Apple recommends using a laptop or desktop computer in conjunction with your iPad.

  • First, open the link you wish to watch later in your preferred web browser on your computer.
  • Next, download the video to your computer and add it to iTunes.
  • Connect your iPad and computer with the USB cable and then sync.

This will transfer the video file to your iPad. Disconnect the device, and you will now be able to watch the video offline. For more information on accessing materials on your iPad, please refer to our Tablet Technology Guide.
