Please could someone tell me how do I copy a video from Twitter ?
I am on an iPad .
Thank you
Do you have any other devices?
https://jdownloader.org will do it but I doubt an iPad will run it. The setup to download from twitter is a bit of a faf but a search will bring up the instructions on how to do it.
Thank you .
I am not tech savvy and the apple devices can be tricky .
I will try it in my lap top .
I did it to put a twitter video onto YouTube as some folks here didn't want twitter IDs which were needed to view it.
This may have been the process I followed. Not certain though and there are plenty of hits from people having problems.

Jdownloader itself is easy to install and will grab video from most sources such as YouTube or Putlocker sites that need a login but Twitter seems to give problems.
If you get stuck and it's only a few videos let me have the twitter URLs and I'll see if I can still grab them ok. then I can put them on my home server and you can grab them from there. Best to use PM if that's the way.
This is one from Twitter I put on YouTube

I just checked and the Twitter account I'd added to Jdownloader was no longer there for some reason - most likely I'd used a different computer - so I went through the process again and it worked OK.
First you'll need a Twitter account and you'll probably need to add an extension to your browser instructions in the link below.

I use cookie editor and Brave as my browser but there are other options as mentioned in the instructions.
If you get stuck PM me the links I'll grab them and PM you a link back you can download from.
I just click on the twitter clip til it says ' copy video address' then come on here and paste. :cool:
That doesn't download it which was what muddy wanted.
She just wanted to copy a clip from Twitter to put on here
Ah. Never occurred to me that would be a problem.
How do you download a video from Twitter ? Meant exactly that to me. I didn't ask why. I assumed she thought it was something that was likely to get taken down and wanted to save it.

. 🤓 a misunderstanding as she used ' download' in her title and ' copy' in her post 👍
How do I copy a video from Twitter along with download from meant only one thing to me.
Anyway if you want to grab some stuff you find before Plod has it taken down you now know how... :wink:
Oh gosh
Sorry for the confusion .
I did mean copy I thought download was more ot less the same thing. :nooo:
If only people would say what they unkind or parsimonious.
Parsimonious ! now there's an old fashioned word....... :cool:
I tried the copy and paste thing it didn't work for me .
They are talking about copying in the tweet url (from the top of the browser for instance) and pasting that in.
If the correct format of a YouTube link is pasted in the video window appears (the forum plug in code isn't smart enough to cope with all formats of YouTube links possible and for some you'll just see a link instead) but there is nothing similar for Twitter at all.

Many thanks Klondike for your advice .
I will try to do this on my laptop .
I really am useless with tech and hardly use the laptop since windows 10 I fail to understand anything .☹️
I know exactly how you feel.. I try so hard to understand how to do these things.. When it comes to technology I fail to understand the simplest task..
I really do try..
Oh dear worse to come

I can't get into the lap top at all because I think it's been hit with ransome ware ?
Evil pop up and then the entire screen covered and if you press x nothing happens
There is nothing else to press but the pay button
Have tried both chrome and edge
:cry:
Easiest way out is to just restore your backup. No backup reinstall windows but you'll need to create the install media using a different machine. Anything you install on that machine now using the machine which you probably can't anyway will be infected immediately.

You might be able to boot into recovery mode if your machine has a recovery partition (not all do). You have already lost any personal data on it that wasn't backed up.

I have thrown in the towel Klony and sent it to a computer man .
He's hasn't got back to me I hope it not beyond him to fix .
I rang up two places the first said he would put me on his waiting list ( two weeks)
They both said there have been a lot of these ransome attacks lately .
It is certainly fixable and if the drive was not encrypted by the virus your data could probably be recovered. The question is what is the cost and is that less than the cost of replacement.
He fixed it said it was riddled with all sorts of nasties .
Cost me £75
Cheaper than a new one then. :upvote:
