Youtube

We have not stopped in recent days to tell you all the news about the apple brand: reviews of the new Apple TV, the new official dock for the Apple Watch, and even everything that has happened around the launch of the new (and somewhat exclusive) iPad Pro, Apple's latest news for fanboys. Obviously not everything was going to be Apple news, we also like to bring you some other interesting news about technology in general, news that are sometimes tutorials and that can teach you to navigate the technological world with ease.

Just yesterday at a meeting of the iPad Actualidad editors (we do have meetings) we commented on the best applications to download YouTube videos, interesting applications (many paid) that you can save if you use a practical method with an online operation ... steps to follow to be able to download YouTube videos to your Mac without the need for any extra app.

First of all tell you that this method is not illegal, and what is proposed either, the videos are hosted on the YouTube servers and whenever you are viewing one via the web they are being stored as a cache on your Mac. With this method you are deriving that cache to any site you want to see it offline whenever you want.

    What does this have to do with the iPad "iOS"? This would be better on "currently Mac"
    Me thinking that it could be done from the iPad .. What a disappointment!

    As we do in our case, I use it on iPad, it is called Plastic program and it is part of Photoshop and it has a logo and I do not know how it is eliminated, in my case we bought two or three times and it crashes I do not know how since I had another iPad and bought quickly And it was done, it was great, but not now, and if José has the iPad, it's new or I don't know how.
    Please how is it done?
    Thank you
