Good so far...

What "move arrow"? There is a "Sync Movies" button at the very top, and
below that are some checkbox settings that let you specify which movies
you want to sync. Whatever you specify there gets synchronized with the
iPad the next time you start a sync. At the bottom-right corner of the
window is a "Sync" button that starts synchronizing your iPad with the
computer. If you don't start a sync, no sync happens (unless you have
iTunes configured to start them automatically the next time you connect
the USB cable to the computer).

What "iPad box"?

Did you actually synchronize the iPad with the computer? If not, that's
why.

It will only be erased if you delete it from the iTunes library on the
Mac.

It's pretty simple. Connect the iPad, specify which movies you want to
sync, then start a sync. The movie should then appear on the iPad.
