In an attempt to meet the demands of different customers, Apple surprisingly present the world both iPad mini and iPad 4 in October. iPad mini is designed as a small-size tablet with lower price while iPad 4 is a high-end tablet with Retina Display. With easy-to-carry design and powerful functions, both tablets can be used as walking cinema. Therefore, users will need a method to transfer movies from iPad mini to iPad 4 at times. For one thing, the movie transference from iPad mini to iPad 4 allow users to view the same movie on both tablets with just one purchase; for another, transferrin movies from iPad mini to iPad 4 helps users to back up iPad mini movies.
