VLC in its current form cannot load movies onto my iPad as it claims it cannot see my main computer (an iMac). This started with the latest version of VLC, as before I had no problems loading or viewing on my iPad from my iMac. What do I do?

More explanation needed.

To drop files on your iPad from your computer you have to use iTunes.

Or the WiFi-Upload function. But the first one is more stable and safe I think.
