How to Put Movies on iPad without iTunes [2023]

Apple did break some hearts (maybe some Macs too) when it decided to let go of iTunes. With iTunes gone, a user now has to scramble through ten different apps to get things done.

iTunes was your media discovery tool, music and video player, and file transfer application. You could use it to set up your iPhone and iPad and copy all your favorites to it. And you could browse and send music, movies, audiobooks and more with iTunes.

Today, in this article, we are discussing two popular iTunes alternatives – WALTR PRO and iMazing. In this WALTR PRO vs. iMazing review article, you'll read about their features and how they fair against each other as the best iOS file transfer tool. You'll also go through the overly simplified process of transferring files to your iOS device using WALTR PRO.

Both iMazing and WALTR PRO are available for Mac as well as Windows. Also, they both connect to an iPhone/iPad via USB or Wi-Fi. Any comparison on those fronts is right out of the window.

So, first, let's get into the details of iMazing and WALTR PRO. And then, we will move towards WALTR PRO vs. iMazing review and the more pressing questions.

Let's dive in.

What is iMazing?

iMazing is an iOS file transfer software created by DigiDNA. It allows you to send data to iOS devices from macOS or PC. You can use it to export pictures and videos to your iPhone without iTunes or iCloud and also send other files and documents. With iMazing, you can customize and push ringtones to your iPhone without using iTunes. It also allows you to copy music freely to your device without having to sync with the cloud.

Apart from file transfer, you can also keep automatic backups of iPhone/iPad on your computer using iMazing. It helps you manage your iPhone and save all your contacts, text messages, notes and other data like iTunes never could.

What are the features of iMazing?

Some of the features of iMazing that are worth exploring are:

1. Transfer Content to iPhone and iPad

iMazing allows you to send music, ringtones, movies and other data to an iOS device. You can grab your audio and video and push them to your iPhone without using iTunes. They can be moved to the native iOS app or any other app on your device. You can also copy ebooks and PDFs to your iPad to have your book library on the go. Using iMazing software, you can even transfer data from one iOS device to another.

2. Export Call Logs and Messages History

Apart from messages, you can also export call history and notes to your computer and save voicemail audio. iMazing offers contacts exporting too.

3. Backup iOS Data to Computer

Another feature of iMazing is it enables a user to take and manage device backups. You can keep, configure and schedule backups for all your Apple devices and save them for as long as you want.

It offers a bunch of other features that might even be redundant. You'll probably never use most of what iMazing offers. And all these facilities also lead to a problem. iMazing can be complex to be used as a file transfer software.

It will convert the file (if needed) to a supported format and push it to your device. The file will appear on the native app. You can click on the device icon to choose files, if it suits you, instead of dragging and dropping them.

To Add a File to Other Supported Apps

When you push a file to your phone, it appears on the library of the native app. To add it to a 3rd-party app, hold the Alt/Option key while transferring. WALTR PRO opens a list of other supported apps installed on your device. You can pick the app you want, and the file is added to its library.
