iTunes may be tedious and cumbersome, but you cantransfer MP4, MP3 and any other format of music from computer to iPhone without relying on iTunes. This article will demonstrate a shockingly quick way to transfer MP4 to iPad without iTunes or even any other service like AirDrop or Dropbox.

Here's the scenario: you have a movie you want to watch quickly while hitting the road. All you want is to quickly drop a movie on your iPad and get going. Well, this is not always as clear as it's supposed to be.

You should agree with me – media managing isn't Apple's strong point.

WALTR PRO is the tool that makes transferring MP4 files to an iPad as easy as pie. This Mac and Windows application allows you to transfer virtually any type of video, music, or even moving PDF files to iPhone without the need for iTunes or other programs.

If you have launched WALTR at least once, you know its design is second to none. You won't notice any unnecessary settings or buttons in WALTR.

Developers strived to make WALTR as simple as possible. For instance, to transfer MP4 to iPad, you merely need to push the desired file into WALTR. According to developers, such a simplistic approach is a must, because the simpler the application is, the more people love it.

How to Transfer MP4 to iPad without iTunes

WALTR PRO supports almost any file format, including incompatible files like MKV or AVI, converting them on the fly. Now let’s dive into how to transfer MP4 to iPad with WALTR PRO:

Now it's your turn to try it out. Hit the button below to get the installation file (it's free) and follow the guide on how to transfer MP4 files to iPad:

Step 1. Launch WALTR PRO

Once you installed WALTR (whether Mac or Windows – doesn't matter) go ahead and open it.

BTW, interesting fact – WALTR takes its name from Walter White from ‘Breaking Bad' TV episodes (the developers are huuuge fans).

Step 2. Connect your device to WALTR

One of the brand-new WALTR PRO features is that it can work via Wi-Fi. But to make it happen, you should first use a USB cable to make WALTR and your computer recognize your iPad. Once you plug your device into your computer, click on the gear in the bottom right corner of the application and check 'Enable WiFI connectivity'. You won't need a USB cable anymore.

From this moment on, WALTR PRO will recognize your device immediately if it's connected to the same wireless network.

Step 3. Drag and drop your movie into WALTR

As we said before, WALTR PRO will eat every file format you throw in it. You can drop as many videos as you can onto the iPad.

Step 4. Play your file

The cool thing about WALTR is that it grabs all the artwork and covers and even metadata, like genre or actor info. As a result, you get it all in your Home Videos folder.
