A recorded video file (of 1h 2 min and 43 sec lenght) forever stuck on my 64GB iPhone?

Hi,
It's happened to me twice now. The first time I was in a hurry to free up space so I opted to convert the video to lover resolution onboard and transfer off the lower resolution copy, then delete the original (not cool)!
Now I have time and since I suspect a known limitation of iOS, willing to go through with it until fixed.
The details:
1. I shot a video of lenght 1:02:43).
2. I can play back the video on camera roll just fine.
3. I selected all the photos/video under iPhone/DCIM/* and MOVED off the device to another location.
4. DCIM folders were checked and empty (also after reconnection to the computer).
5. A single 1:02:43 lenght 1080p movie file was not copied (moved) to the computer and was.
6. A single 1:02:43 lenght 1080p movie file is/was still found in the camera roll, however not listed under DCIM folders with iPhone connected to the computer.
How do I get the original file off the device?
I should be able to record even longer videos so Is this a know IOS limitation or even a bug?
Thanks in advance!

Make sure itunes is updated on computer, backup iphone, then...

What can I do to get it to work again as more than an overpriced paperweight?

Hello,
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), see if you can set a good resolution.

How can I easily convert mod files (JVC video files) to a format recognized and usable by imovie?

Is there a way within the ios to do this or do I need to buy conversion software? If so, what is the recommended software?
Thanks.

I don't think there are ways in iOS can do this. some conversion software like this might do the right thing for you:

Why does it take iMovie longer to import video than the length of the video? For example- it took 2 mins and 15 secs to import 2 mins and 4 secs of video...

It's not like playing a tape. It has to convert it from whatever format you currently have into a codec suitable for editing (Apple Intermediate). This will take longer or shorter depending how compressed your original format is, and on the ability of your CPUs to catch up.

I just downloaded ios 7 and when I'm recording video the camera screen goes black and doesn't record anything. Also in control centre music control doesn't work sometimes. It's been three days.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Mac Book Pro 13" LPTP-Photo Booth Recorded Video File won't find my video/movie that I recently recorded from Sun 9-1-13. Is there a way I can retrieve the files under the Time Machine or will I need to download something for iPhoto Booth?

I have been having the most difficult times with the use of iPhoto Booth for recording movie files of church services. It seems if I make a rename on the files, for some odd reason, I cannot find it in any of my Files Folders in Finder. I need to know is there a more simple way to retrieve movie files thru iPhoto Booth or is there something I may can download to fix this issue? Also, is there a way the videos can be flipped around to not a mirror image, but to a reverse camera? Please anyone who recognizes this problem, contact me ASAP. Thank you for your support!

You used the data. Verizon can not see what it was sued for. However your phone can see whats apps used the data. go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle. line the dates up with your cycle. then there will be a bar graph below that extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right. after those are extended below that will be a list of apps, there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

HELP! recorded video file seems corrupted, need guidance

Last weekend i recorded a lengthy video file from my friend's birthday party. As it turns out, near the end of the party the recording errored out and the video file that it had been creating for hours became unreadable. We have tried many different avi file fixers on it but none have had any luck. I cannot play this file in any of my video applications, nor can i open it in an application such as Sony Vegas.
Is there any hope for recovering the footage in this avi file? It was recorded using the creative software provided with the Creative Live! Optia camera (this is the camera we used to record the footage).
Thanks for any help!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Might be best to post that one on the iMovie forum here

How to move huge HD video files between external hard drives and defrag ext drive?

I have huge high definition video files on a 2TB external hard drive (and its clone). The external hard drive is maxed out. I would like to move many of the video files to a new 3TB external hard drive (G-drive, and a clone) and leave a sub-group of video files (1+ TB) on the original external hard drive (and its clone).
I am copying files from original external drive ("ext drive A") to new external drive ("ext drive B") via Carbon Copy Cloner (selecting iMovie event by event that I want to transfer). Just a note: I do not know how to partition or make bootable drives, I see suggestions with these steps in them.
My questions:
1.) I assume this transfer of files will create extreme fragmentation on drive A. Should I reformat/re-initialize ext drive A after moving the files I want? If so, how best to do this? Do I use "Erase" within Disk Utilities? Do I need to do anything else before transfering files back onto ext drive A from its clone?
2.) Do I also need to defrag if I reformat ext drive A? Do I defrag instead of or in addition to reformating? If so, how to do this? I've read on these forums so many warnings and heard too many stories of this going awry. Which 3rd party software to use?
Thank you in advance for any suggestions, tips, advice. This whole process makes me SO nervous.

Here is a very good writeup on de-fragging in the OS environment that I borrowed
From Klaus1:
Defragmentation in OS X:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1375 which states:
You probably won't need to optimize at all if you use Mac OS X. Here's why:
Hard disk capacity is generally much greater now than a few years ago. With more free space available, the file system doesn't need to fill up every "nook and cranny." Mac OS Extended formatting (HFS Plus) avoids reusing space from deleted files as much as possible, to avoid prematurely filling small areas of recently-freed space.
Mac OS X 10.2 and later includes delayed allocation for Mac OS X Extended-formatted volumes. This allows a number of small allocations to be combined into a single large allocation in one area of the disk.
Fragmentation was often caused by continually appending data to existing files, especially with resource forks. With faster hard drives and better caching, as well as the new application packaging format, many applications simply rewrite the entire file each time. Mac OS X 10.3 onwards can also automatically defragment such slow-growing files. This process is sometimes known as "Hot-File-Adaptive-Clustering."
Aggressive read-ahead and write-behind caching means that minor fragmentation has less effect on perceived system performance.
Whilst 'defragging' OS X is rarely necessary, Rod Hagen has produced this excellent analysis of the situation which is worth reading:
Most users, as long as they leave plenty of free space available , and don't work regularly in situations where very large files are written and rewritten, are unlikely to notice the effects of fragmentation on either their files or on the drives free space much.
As the drive fills the situations becomes progressively more significant, however.
Some people will tell you that "OSX defrags your files anyway". This is only partly true. It defrags files that are less than 20 MB in size. It doesn't defrag larger files and it doesn't defrag the free space on the drive. In fact the method it uses to defrag the smaller files actually increases the extent of free space fragmentation. Eventually, in fact, once the largest free space fragments are down to less than 20 MB (not uncommon on a drive that has , say only 10% free space left) it begins to give up trying to defrag altogether. Despite this, the system copes very well without defragging as long as you have plenty of room.
Again, this doesn't matter much when the drive is half empty or better, but it does when it gets fullish, and it does especially when it gets fullish if you are regularly dealing with large files , like video or serious audio stuff.
If you look through this discussion board you will see quite a few complaints from people who find that their drive gets "slow". Often you will see that say that "still have 10 or 20 gigs free" or the like. On modern large drives by this stage they are usually in fact down to the point where the internal defragmentation routines can no longer operate , where their drives are working like navvies to keep up with finding space for any larger files, together with room for "scratch files", virtual memory, directories etc etc etc. Such users are operating in a zone where they put a lot more stress on their drives as a result, often start complaining of increased "heat", etc etc. Most obviously, though, the computer slows down to a speed not much better than that of molasses. Eventually the directories and other related files may collapse altogether and they find themselves with a next to unrecoverable disk problems.
By this time, of course, defragging itself has already become just about impossible. The amount of work required to shift the data into contiguous blocks is immense, puts additional stress on the drive, takes forever, etc etc. The extent of fragmentation of free space at this stage can be simply staggering, and any large files you subsequently write are likely to be divided into many , many tens of thousands of fragments scattered across the drive. Not only this, but things like the "extents files", which record where all the bits are located, will begin to grow astronomically as a result, putting even more pressure on your already stressed drive, and increasing the risk of major failures.
Ultimately this adds up to a situation where you can identify maybe three "phases" of mac life when it comes to the need for defragmentation.
In the "first phase" (with your drive less than half full), it doesn't matter much at all - probably not enough to even make it worth doing.
In the "second phase" (between , say 50% free space and 20% free space remaining) it becomes progressively more useful, but , depending on the use you put your computer to you won't see much difference at the higher levels of free space unless you are serious video buff who needs to keep their drives operating as efficiently and fast as possible - chances are they will be using fast external drives over FW800 or eSata to compliment their internal HD anyway.
At the lower end though (when boot drives get down around the 20% mark on , say, a 250 or 500 Gig drive) I certainly begin to see an impact on performance and stability when working with large image files, mapping software, and the like, especially those which rely on the use of their own "scratch" files, and especially in situations where I am using multiple applications simultaneously, if I haven't defragmented the drive for a while. For me, defragmenting (I use iDefrag too - it is the only third party app I trust for this after seeing people with problems using TechToolPro and Drive Genius for such things) gives a substantial performance boost in this sort of situation and improves operational stability. I usually try to get in first these days and defrag more regularly (about once a month) when the drive is down to 30% free space or lower.
Between 20% and 10% free space is a bit of a "doubtful region". Most people will still be able to defrag successfully in this sort of area, though the time taken and the risks associated increase as the free space declines. My own advice to people in this sort of area is that they start choosing their new , bigger HD, because they obviously are going to need one very soon, and try to "clear the decks" so that they maintain that 20% free buffer until they do. Defragging regularly (perhaps even once a fortnight) will actually benefit them substantially during this "phase", but maybe doing so will lull them into a false sense of security and keep them from seriously recognising that they need to be moving to a bigger HD!
Once they are down to that last ten per cent of free space, though, they are treading on glass. Free space fragmentation at least will already be a serious issue on their computers but if they try to defrag with a utility without first making substantially more space available then they may find it runs into problems or is so slow that they give up half way through and do the damage themselves, especially if they are using one of the less "forgiving" utilities!
In this case I think the best way to proceed is to clone the internal drive to a larger external with SuperDuper, replace the internal drive with a larger one and then clone back to it. No-one down to the last ten percent of their drive really has enough room to move. Defragging it will certainly speed it up, and may even save them from major problems briefly, but we all know that before too long they are going to be in the same situation again. Better to deal with the matter properly and replace the drive with something more akin to their real needs once this point is reached. Heck, big HDs are as cheap as chips these days! It is mad to struggle on with sluggish performance, instability, and the possible risk of losing the lot, in such a situation.

Help! Lost all Captured Video Files Using FCE 3.5 and Lacie 1TB Drive

Hi all...
I was wondering if anyone here could advise me on a most dissapointing occurence...
A few weeks ago, I started learning Final Cut Express 3.5. I began by setting my scratch disk to my new Lacie 1TB drive and loading about 5 tapes to the drive via the capture function in FCE... all went well. I then spent the next couple of days organizing all the clips and subclips into bins that I made based on the kind of clips I had shot (my first doc attempt on a local photographer).
Editing a trailer of sorts to practice in FCE, I slowly but surely came to understand the power and functionality of FCE... things were going well. Along with the clips, I also added folders on the hard drive with still photographs, title cards made in photoshop and sound clips that I had made of traffic noises with a mp3 recorder (all sound files were converted to aiff files in quicktime pro). All these files from the hard drive were then imported into FCE and put into their own bins in the browser to keep them seperate from everything else.
Late last night, while opening FCE for another session, the software reported that all of my video files were "offline" and "did I want to reconnect them". I'd had this warning before, but only when my Lacie drive hadn't been turned on while starting up FCE... this time it was on and I was still getting the reconnect warning.
Now I find that ALL of my video files are gone!! The 200 GB of space they took up on the Lacie drive has been regained... either deleted by FCE or by the drive itself... I don't know which. The weird thing is, that the folders containing the sound, and still photos that i put together are still fine, both on the Lacie drive AND in FCE. You'd think if it was a faulty drive that all files would be deleted, or if it was FCE going beserk, that it would kill all bins, not just the video files...
This issue really is difficult because I just don't know which item is at fault and I'm reluctant to try downloading all my data again because I don't know piece of hardware is killing my files... My FCE is not a pirated copy... am using a mac book pro 15" 2 years old w/OS 10.4.11.
Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks very much
Take care
Mark

Problem solved - I had deleted all the necessary preference files. I did not reinstall Quicktime, thanks for the suggestions, though. I called Apple Care. A very helpful person on the other end of the phone directed me to trash the preferences (again). No luck. He asked me to create a new user, which I had not done, the problem was still there. The fix was a reinstall of FCE HD. All's good now. Thanks, Apple Care!

Output Video File to 'Microsoft DV Camera And VCR' DV driver

I've just submitted this:
I would like to request that the facility be made available to output the one video file allowed on the session timeline to the 'Microsoft DV Camera And VCR' DV driver for display on a TV monitor via appropriate hardware. Please make this option in addition to the ability to display the video content on a PC monitor, i.e. the four permutations that would be available:
1) No display of video on PC Monitor or TV Monitor;
2) Display of video on PC Monitor but not on TV Monitor;
3) No display of video on PC Monitor but display on TV monitor;
4) Display of video on both PC Monitor and TV Monitor.
Dedicating a TV monitor to display the video will help to free-up PC monitor real estate for the display of other information or controls.

Hello Ryclark.
I know what you're talking about but, as far as I understand, no, it's a different thing.
A Microsoft DV Camera and VCR device could be an internal hardware card, an external IEEE 1394 connected piece of hardware such as a Canopus ADVC 110 (http://www.canopus.com/products/videoconversion.php), or a camcorder. An appropriate piece of software can access these devices via the Microsoft DV Camera and VCR device DV driver and either capture DV streams (video and audio) to the computer's hard disk (an ability that is not appropriate for Adobe Audition), or output DV streams (such as a DV file that's on an Audition session timeline) to the device. In the case of the ADVC 110, it has composite and s-video outputs for connection to, say, a video projector or TV monitor.
I find it far better to check sound against a picture that's being displayed on its intended output device i.e. interlaced video content on a TV monitor in order to assess how my soundtrack works with the picture.
When I submitted the feature request I asked only for video output and didn't specify any audio output requirements. This was because I had completely overlooked the audio side of the DV stream. I'd be happy with the output being the original DV file audio, the reasons being a) I wouldn't listen to it anyway, I'd listen to the soundtrack I'd created over the audio monitor system, and b) it stands more chance of being implemented if the request is kept simple. I could ask for the ability to route any bus or track to the audio part of the DV stream, but that would just increase the complexity of the coding. Other than the audio being in sync with the video, I'm not sure how useful that'd be anyway. If I remember correctly, a DV audio stream can be either 48kHz 16-bit stereo or 32kHz 12-bit four channel. Far better to monitor the mix from the PC's multichannel audio outputs.
I realize that there would be latency between the video displayed via a Microsoft DV Camera and VCR device and the audio played through the PC's sound card but hey, we're used to adjusting latency, aren't we?
Regards,
Steve.

File sharing between Mac Mini and iMac "breaks" after reboot of either device, and won't restore. Why? Running Maverick 10.9.1 on both. File sharing is setup on both. Help.

I'm a new user - recent convert from longtime Windows to Apple. Thought having desktops and computing aligned with phones and tablets would help. Not so far.
I have a MacMini running Mavericks 10.9.1, and an iMac running Mavericks 10.9.1. File Sharing is set up on both. If either device is rebooted for any reason, file sharing from the Mac Mini to the iMac "breaks" and will not easily restart. Various things eventually brings the connection back - usually having to do with checking and unchecking File Sharing, the AFP button, and/or the SMB button on the iMac - but never the same procedure twice in a row. File Sharing from the iMac to the Mac Mini is never disrupted - always comes back up without a problem. Screen Sharing also works between both without fail, and comes up after reboot of either. No problem there. Only difficulty is from Mac Mini to the iMac.
Why? Any ideas?

Should also clarify - usually takes multiple hours of checking/unchecking file sharing settings in order to restore the share between Mac Mini and iMac. NEVER happens automatically.
This is disruptive because I've got the Mac Mini pointing to several file locations on the iMac for various things - photos, music, etc. - and they all hang up unless the share is restored. Real bummer.

You Tube videos are expanded to 15 min and/or 2GB. Update when?

I called in a support ticket when I attempted to upload a project that was with in the 15 min and 2GB size limitation for You Tube however since they were greater than 10 minutes iMovie would not upload. Answer I got from Apple Care was that they would make a note of it and work on it. Is this causing other folks headaches?

I never use the direct Share method for YouTube.
Try exporting your clip from iMovie to either QuickTime (lots of variables) or to Media Browser at the highest possible resolution then use your Internet browser (Safari?) to log into your YouTube account and upload from there.
A far more reliable method and gets around the size/time limitations.
