Anybody here successfully installed a video downloader on a tablet? I tried to install "Download Helper" on my tablet yesterday and nothing.

One last question before I leave the room.

Question: How does one transfer a downloaded Youtube video from tablet to desktop computer?

Easiest way is via USB cable. Plug it in, tablet shows up as a drive, drag and drop file between tablet and PC.

I'm brand new to this tablet stuff. I tried connecting the tablet to my PC like I do with my digital camera. One end of the USB cable goes into a small port on the tablet and the larger end goes into the USB port on the desktop. Nothing!

I also inserted a micro SD card in the tablet but I suspect the downloaded Youtube videos are trapped in the tablet's internal harddrive and not on the removeable micro SD card.

I just use the site I posted before on my tablet with the URL for the YouTube video to download and it'll go in my download folder on the tablet, no need for messier network transfers. I don't know if it works the same on an iPad though, is that what you are using for a tablet?

In File Manager for a Windows P.C., or whatever the equivalent on an Apple system is? My devices through a USB in Windows is the g:/ drive.
Microsoft has been trying to manipulate consumers to forget how it was done and avoid use of the c:/ drive.

I am using an HP Stream 7 tablet with Windows 8.1. I did manage to do the transfer by using a memory card.

1) Transfer video from tablet to a memory card.

2) Insert the memory card in my P.C. End result is that the videos are now on my P.C. harddrive.

Ok, two more questions and then I'll leave the room. Note that I am using a Hewlett Packard Stream 7 tablet with Windows 8.1 operating system and Firefox browser.

Question1: Is it unusual for a tablet to NOT be able to connect to a desktop using a USB cable? I cannot do with mine. I have to transfer the tablet stuff to a memory card and then insert the memory card in the desktop.

Question: There are some Youtube videos that I cannot open with the tablet but can do so with the hardwired desktop? Is this common to all tablets using wi-fi?
