How to download YouTube videos to your iPhone or iPad

[Sam Gliksman]

You have an important video to watch or present and you're unsure about the reliability of the broadband connection. Now you can download the video directly to your iOS device and not have to worry. Thanks to TiPb.com for this helpful suggestion!

 

Start by downloading TagDisk from the App Store . To test the app, the free “Lite” version will do fine but it is restricted to four video downloads, if you find this app useful, you may want to upgrade to the full version.

• iPhone Lite Version [iTunes link]
• iPad Lite Version [iTunes link]

• Once installed, launch TagDisk. You will be greeted with the “Disk” screen, click on the browser on the bottom toolbar and enter “youtube.com” into the address bar.

• This will take you to the YouTube home page where you can search and find videos as normal. When you have found a video you would like to download, hold your finger on the link and an options menu will appear. Select “Download Link” and the video will start to download to your device.

• You can now start to queue a few videos up and they will download one after another to your device. Download speed is not the fastest here. I was on an 8 Meg ADSL connection but only managed to download at 130KB/Sec.

• When all the downloads are complete, click on the “Disk” icon in the bottom toolbar and go into Documents. Here you will find your downloaded videos. A simple click on one of the videos and it will start to play. No need for any network connection to watch the downloaded videos!

 

 

That is all you need to do. I even tested this with Vimeo as well as YouTube and again it works perfectly.

Thank you for this information!!! I have been creating stories for my speech kids to give them practice with their target sounds. I turned them into movies with imovie and now I can download them onto my ipad - thanks to you. Here is a link to one of the stories and anyone is welcome to download it for their young students:

Can you expand? TagDisk HD seems expensive. Does this app allow you to "show" YouTube videos from within a Keynote presentation? Thanks for any advice on how to do this.
