IOS – iTunes – adding content to third party app

data transferiositunes

Prior to this iTunes 12 update, there was a way to navigate to the apps on your iPad and select a third party app from the App Store, then be able to 'add media' to that application. I would put home videos and other content to CineXPlayer this way.

With iTunes 12, I no longer see this option for my third party video player. Is this no longer supported? Are third party video apps out of business?

Best Answer

  • Launch iTunes

  • Plug in iDevice, then...

    1. select iDevice
    2. Select Apps
    3. Scroll down on the right-most scroll-bar until you see the File Sharing header
    4. In that section, select your app

  • Then you can drag & drop to the right section

I shrunk my iTunes window down as small as it would go to show all the info without taking up too much room in here

Rebooting the phone may help if connectivity is an issue.
