Copy video file from iPhone 3GS to windows XP

I have a video on my iPhone which is about 18 mins long and 482MB in size. When I try to copy (from Windows explorer) and paste the file to my Windows XP system, it shows it is trying to copy the file but then nothing happens. It creates a zero byte file on my Windows system.
I even tried the 'scanner and camera wizard'. This program shows the progress bar but when it reaches 100% it gives me the message that 'The current picture cannot be copied. To copy this picture, click "Try Again". To stop copying, click "Cancel".'
I had other video files which copied successfully but were probably half the size of this file.
Could the reason be the file size? If the file size is the restriction, then there is no point in using the video feature to shoot continuous video.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

The size of the file shouldn't make any difference as long as there is room on your PC for it. What I do is use the Camera Wizard and select the open to view files option. From there I just click on the files to locate the video I want to copy and either drag it to where I want it on the PC or copy and paste it there. If it's a larage file it may take a few seconds to copy over.

  • Help copy large file from iPhone to PC

    Hello Everybody.
    I’m coding the Record application. However, I have problem with copying the file from iPhone device to the PC after recording. I used Attach File function on Email but it doesn’t allow with large size > 10MB file. I haven’t found any solution yet for this problem. iTune 9.0 has “Include Voice Memos” function, can i do the same with my application ? “Include My App” e.g.
    Anybody knows other solution for this problem?
    Thanks for read

    You could check your approach against this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  If you are still having trouble you could try an app that will send it wirelessly, such as PhotoSync.

  • Transfer photo/video files from iPhone 5 to MacBook?

    I was able to complete steps #1 and #2 of the iTunes help offered under "Transfer files from your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad to your computer" but for step #3, "Below File Sharing..."  there was no File Sharing menu or ability to choose the Photos app in my iPhone 5.  Where should I look for that or is there more de-tailed guidance available elsewhere?

  • How do I upload homemade videos from iPhone 3gs to windows laptop?

    Hey Everyone,
    I have been happily using my iphone 3GS for two years now and am just about to upgrade to the 4GS.  I am transferring my data from my old phone to my windows laptop (fairly old generic model) so that I can restore the 3GS to factory settings before I part-exchange it for the new 4GS.
    I have managed to sync my purchased music to my iTunes library on my laptop.  I have managed to upload my photos from the Photostream on the 3GS to my Picasa account on my laptop.  What I seem completely incapable of doing is uploading some 20-25 short (1-9mins max) homemade videos taken on my 3GS to my laptop.  I have trying copying and pasting from the 3GS as it appears as a hard drive device on my laptop into a new folder, but it doesn't work.  I have tryed to upload them via iTunes to no avail. 
    PLEASE HELP ME!!!
    The only option I can think of is to email myself individually from my 3GS all of the videos one by one, and then save them when I open my email account on my laptop.  This seems long, laborious and surely unnecessary....I can't believe there isn't an easier way and I'm just missing it!!
    I have no wifi at home and am using my 3GS as a modem connected to my laptop to attempt all of this.  I live in Spain and am using the company Movistar on a 500MB monthly plan.  I think I am using iOS 4....but it could be iOS 4. (point) something.....I have not been able to upgrade to iOS5 due to lack of wifi connection as the update takes over an hour.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated. 
    Thank you,
    Coz

    Here's Apple's support document on the subject:

    You could also use third-party software, like this, to do so:

  • How do you transfer music from iPhone 3Gs to Windows PC.

    Old windows pc crashed. Do not have back up. How do I tranfers music from iPhone 3Gs 16M to new windows PC. 99% of music was ripped CD's.

    The transfer of content from sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve music files and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. This is just a small selection of what's available, you can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    Senuti Mac Only (Currently only the beta version is iPod Touch & iPhone compatible)
    PodView Mac Only
    PodWorks Mac Only
    iPodDisk PPC Mac Only (experimental version available for Intel Macs)
    TuneAid Mac only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac & Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows
    iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    Floola Mac & Windows
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    Keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

  • Can't copy large video file from iPhone

    I have several video recorded on my 3GS. When connected via USB to a Windows XP computer it shows up as "camera device" and I can usually copy photos and videos from it.
    However, today I found I was unable to copy a 584MB video I recorded yesterday.
    I have another 300MB video I can simply drag and drop or copy paste without problems; but the 584MB one simple freezes the window for a while, and then I get a copied file in the destination with size zero.
    Has anyone faced similar problems? (or better yet, how can I get that file "out" of the iphone?)
    [Using iPhone 3GS 3.0]

    Trying it in a different PC (this one with Windows 7) solved the issue.
    It copied without any problem - though there were issues for the iPhone to be detected correctly in windows 7.
    It would show up as an incorrect USB MTP Device and failed to mount it - it required "uninstalling" the device and scanning for new hardware in device manager to show up properly (this had to be done everytime the iPhone was plugged in.)

  • Delete partially copied movie file from iPhone. Shows grayed out in Videos on the iPhone but it doesn't show up in iTunes.

    Hello.
      I have synced my iPhone 4S with iTunes and I got an error while copying one movie. Now this movie shows up grayed out in videos on the iPhone but NOT in iTunes. Hence, I cannot delete this partially copied movie from my iPhone. And since it is grayed out, the right-to-left swipe does not work. I have resynced with "no movies" option so that every movie would be deleted and indeed every movie was deleted except for the problematic one. I rebooted the iPhone several times in case it was a glitch. No success. I even tried tools like iExplorer and DiskAid but I cannot find this **** file. Is there any way to delete this partially copied file from the iPhone without having to restore it?
    Regards,
    HawkeyeQ

    Hi adtsalmon,
    You can only watch the movie on the device you rented it on. Here's a snippet from the Apple Support site (italics mine):
    If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
    If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
    Here's the link to the Movie Rentals FAQs site FYI:

  • Copying video files from one external drive to another

    Hello! I am very new to Apple and FCP, so please forgive my ignorance. I have looked through the other topics and have not found one that addresses my question, so please forgive me if this has been addressed in the past.
    I am working on a project and have all of my video clips saved to a G-Tech G-Raid 320 GB extenal hard drive. I captured much of my footage using "capture now" instead of logging individual clips for various reasons (i.e.: some tape sources did not have timecode), so if I ever have a problem, simply recapturing the footage does not appear to me to be a valid option.
    With this weighing heavily on my mind, I thought it would be best to copy the poject to a second G-RAID external hard drive.
    However, the G-RAID uses an 800 firewire and my G5 computer only has one such port.
    What would be the best way to copy from the one external drive to the other? Will I have to copy the files to my internal hard drive first? And if so, how do I do that? Thanks!!

    Crystal,
    Please reply to a specific post, not to your orignial one. This keeps the threaded discussion in order.
    To see the format for a drive. Open Disk Utility. It is located in your /Applications/Utilities folder.
    You should see all your connected drives on the left side of the window. Click on the icon of the drive you want information on. Select the Volume icon, not the Drive icon ( the volume icon is the one under and slightly indented to the right of the drive icon)
    Look at the bottom of the window. You'll see an item FORMAT: it should say Mac OS Extended. If it says MS-DOS, you'll need to ERASE the disk. When you do that, you'll have the option of changing the format.
    Do not right click and COPY. Simply drag the icon of the folder containing your media files from one disk to the other. It will copy by default.
    good luck.

  • IPhoto reads wrong date of .mov file from iPhone 3GS...help!

    Hi all
    Need some help/advice please.
    I have a bunch of files I am importing in to iPhoto that were initially downloaded to a windows laptop. I used Graphic Converter (GC) to successfully rotate and align the creation/modified dates so iPhoto reads the correct date. Now GC edits the .jpg and .avi file metadata fine, but wont edit .mov files from my iPhone? So now the iPhone videos are strewn all over the place in iPhoto compared to where they should be date-wise. Any ideas on how to fix this issue?
    The .mov files in GC show the correct creation date, but iPhoto reads the actuals file's modified date instead of the internal creation date? So strange?
    Thanks
    Jared

    iPhoto gets it's date and time from the Photos Exif metadata, not the file creation or modification dates. It will only use those if your photos have no Exif.
    If you subsequently export these files then the created and modification dates a re very likely to change.
    You can adjust the date and time rather more easily in iPhoto (Using either the Photos -> Adjust Date and Time and/or the Photos -> Batch Change commands) You can also write the corrected date and time to the Exif of the oriignals files, and export it along with the file in the future.
    I'm not sure what's up with the dates on these mov files, but Movies don't have an Exif. You might want to check with the makers of Graphic Coverter for help.
    You know that you can move pics and movies around inside iPhoto, right? Drag them from Event to Event?
    Regards

  • Transferring music/files from Iphone 3gs to new computer

    Hi
    I have previously transferred music form my ipod to an old laptop, both have since broken or been updated.... so lost the info for the website yamipod...I have had a look to help move everything but for some reason it doesn't work on my computer!! Wrong file and I tried installing two of three recommnded programs (FinalTorrent was one) it still wont let me do it....
    I also checked out (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1202) but it doesnt give me the options as shown on screen...
    I don't know if I'm being thick (pregnancy brain!!) or not but i really need easy to follow help to save my music on my iphone!
    Thanks Jules

    Hi Jules,
    You must use iTunes software only for syncing music to your iPhone. Yamipod is a third party iPod manager not supported by iTunes.
    Since iTunes is dependent on your internet connection, I doubt that FinalTorrent will work.
    Make sure your computer meets the minimum requirements for an iPhone 3GS.

  • HT201302 Transferring large video file from Iphone

    My video file is extremely large and won't transfer by click and drag to hard drive. I have tried every way possible.  Any suggestions?

    Windows XP cannot import video files larger than 500 MB using Camera and Scanner Wizard. You can transfer these files directly from your device by selecting them in My Computer and dragging or copying the movie files to your computer's hard drive. If that doesn't work, you'll have to try third-party software, like this:
