    What tablet is it? Are you sure there is enough space on the tablet.

    Do you have the movies saved on your laptop? If so just connect the tablet to the laptop and create a movies folder on the tablet if there is not already one there and copy the movie file over.
    It's a lenovo yoga with 16 gb, no I don't have anything saved, just when at home I can go on to YouTube and she can watch a few peppa pig, just don't know how to save them to memory, sorry, I am not very computer literate

    I'm not sure you can be told (in a post anyway) how to do that as it would fall under piracy.
    OK, did not realise, I was told by someone with an ipad that they do it through iTunes, handy for flying etc, thought there might be something similar with android

    Airdroid easy to use app to tranfer files to any android device , tablet ,phone,
    from any pc ,laptop using the chrome airdroid app .
    works on windows or linux ,from the chrome browser .
    it sends files over wifi to phone,
    from any pc ,laptop thats connected to the router by cable or wifi .

    very easy to use, drag and drop files into an onscreen box.

    easier to use than dropbox.

    A lot of people may switch over to whatsapp now thats its free .

    Swiftkey bought by Microsoft for $250m. Wow.

    They said that it will stay on in the Play store, but they're integrating the technology into their own keyboard app.

    Was surprised how bad play music is. Was making a playlist and it was so difficult. Even though it was free it was driving me nuts.

    Hangouts is another poor app, as is Facebook.

    I've seen apps designed by guy's in their bedroom in a few hours to work better than some of those mentioned.

    For me any downsides to Play Music are more than offset by being able to upload entire music collection I spent 15 years building up to cloud and access it from anywhere.

    Why though when you can just steam or download it all from the app?

    Providers like spotify don't have everything I listen to, I don't have unlimited data and I don't like storing music on the phone unless it's a temporary "offline mode" for travelling etc as it inevitably invovles pain in the arse transfers back and forth when I fancy a change. With Play Music, I have everything in one central location.

    doesn't it use up your data allowance when you access the cloud?

    Not if it's either saved for offline listening or cached while on WiFi :)

    Last time I looked, it wasn't possible to set the entire library to be saved offline in Google Play Music - has this changed?

    Downloaded SwiftKey and it's awful. Swype is so much better

    Yes, but I do it all at the click of a button in the app (or a couple of clicks of buttons) and reverse it just as easily when I decide it's time for a change rather than manually transferring files onto and off my phone from, say a PC, all the time.
