How to download YouTube videos to iPad

It is great enjoyment to watch movies, TV shows, videos on the big screen of your iPad. Download the YouTube app from the iTunes store or open YouTube website in Safari, and you can also watch YouTube videos on your iPad at ease. If you have wifi connection, it will be very smooth to enjoy YouTube videos online on your iPad. But if wifi is unavailable, or if you have very slow network connection speed, the experience will be very terrible.

Luckily, if you have a Mac at hand, you can download the freeware Clone2Go YouTube Downloader to help you. This cool Mac app lets you download videos from YouTube by simply copying and pasting the video URL to the download queue. You can choose to output the downloaded videos as (HD) MP4, FLV or 3GP files. You can put multiple videos into the queue for batch downloading. The downloading process goes very fast.

The downloaded MP4, FLV or 3GP video files will be saved to your Mac HDD. You can then transfer them to portable players, mobile phones, tablet computers, MP3/MP4 players, edit them in Apple iMovie, burn them to DVD in Apple iDVD and more.

And the good news is that the (HD) MP4 video downloaded from YouTube using Clone2Go YouTube Downloader can be directly transferred to your iPad, without any further conversion. So let's take a look at how it performs:
