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.)

  • 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:

  • Can't import big video file from iPhone to Macbook.

    I have a big video file I took on my iPhone – 4.9gb – which both iPhoto and image capture wont let me import. Any suggestions how I can import this onto my Macbook?

    Perhaps try one of the apps that transfers photos and videos via WiFi between phone and computer. There are several in the App Store.

  • Can't get large video file from iPod to Mac

    It seems to be working for everything else, but... I shot a 1.9GB video on my new iPod Touch 4G, and it won't import. Both Image Capture and iPhoto throw import errors for that file.
    Any ideas?
    It plays back fine on the iPod, and the smaller files I've shot on it have imported just fine.

    I have the same problem on windows... Recorded a 12 min vid & i can't import it to my deskop. I did a test with another 12 min vid & i got the same problem

  • How can I send a large video file from my iPhone 4?

    How can I send (by text) a (fairly) large video file from my iPhone 4 without it getting compressed first?
    If that's not possible is there a way to uncompress the video file one it is received onto the receiving iPhone?
    Or is there a way to sync or transfer a video file from iPhone to iPhone?

    ExFAT would be the best file system format, as it will handle files greater than 4GB.
    If exFAT is not available, go for FAT32.
    Just FAT is too limiting, so avoid that

    Since I have installed Lion onto my iMac it's impossible to to copy any video file from the mac to an external support (ups-stick, Timecapsule). What's happened? What can I do?

    If you just did upgrade Lion, give it some time. I recall having similar problems and some articles mention heavy background work after install - such as re-indexing for Spotlight etc. I couldn't even copy from folder to folder or e.g. iphoto to folder on the same disk. Went away after a day or two though.
    I do however still have a problem with AFP access to one of the lion machines - kills it's network adaptors rather quickly. No luck solving this so far :|

  • Copying large video files

    I am trying to copy large video files <150gig from one external 8TB G-raid to another 4TB external drive.  Some files have no problems whereas others stop copying halfway through and provide an error message that says it can't continue because the file is in use.  I've rebooted several times with no success.  File size isn't the issue.  A 150Gb file copied with no problem but a 60TB file keeps stopping mid stream.  I can copy to our server with no problem but I have to put them on this drive because of lack of room on the server. Please help.  Frustrated.
    I'm using a MacPro, 64G ram, Lion, 2TB boot drive, 6TG internal raid.

    Your G-RAID is using what interface?
    And your 4TB drive is on what interface / controller? What type 4TB drive? 2 x 2TB with built in RAID function?
    (60TB???)
    What model? I assume it would have to be 4,1 or 5,1.
    An SAS/SATA controller with mini-SAS could handle large volume array and copy operations.
    Sounds like USB or Firewire and choking.

  • Can I copy a Backup file from one PC to another and use it?

    IPhone got all screwed up with the update on my home PC and wont restore, my PC at work does it fine, but my backup file is on my home PC. Can I copy my Backup file from my home PC and put it on my work PC to restore my IPhone?

    Before your restoring your iPhone with your PC at work, you can create a backup of your iPhone on the PC before restoring.
    With your iPhone connected and available in the iTunes source list, control click on your iPhone and select Back Up.

  • I can't copy iTunes media files from one external hard drive to another.

    Hi, I am running the latest iTunes and Mavericks software on my MacBook Pro. My iTunes library is stored on an external Seagate 2tb hard drive and it is almost full. I want to transfer the files to a WD Elements 3tb external hard drive and have made that new volume the destination folder for my iTunes library. However, even though I have enabled read/write on both volumes and made the iTunes media folders on both shared folders, I can't copy all the files from the Seagate drive to the WD drive. It comes up with an error message that says "The operation can't be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8058)". I can transfer files from my MacBook hard drive to the new volume, but can't copy files from the old Seagate volume to my MacBook hard drive; it makes the "boing" sound that indicates it is copying but nothing transfers. Files that won't copy include all music files, some video files and all podcast files. Some transferred with no problem. Any ideas out there?

    Hi Limnos, thanks very much for your reply.
    both external drives came preformatted for Windows but I erased each and reformatted them for Mac before using them.
    i made the destination folder on the new WD drive the new iTunes folder using Advanced preferences in iTunes.
    my original iTunes folder on the first drive contained all my iTunes files, as that, also, was the destination folder that was linked via Advanced preferences.
    If I download new content now with the new drive attached, iTunes has no trouble finding where to place the files.
    in Preferences I have both boxes checked (copy files" and "organize") that deal with copying iTunes files.
    When  I first attempted to copy all iTunes files from one media folder to the other on the external drives, I just did a drag and drop of the whole iTunes media folder from one to the other while both were mounted on my desktop. It started copying immediately with no problems, but as it progressed it started skipping files, each time displaying the error message I reported earlier. that included my entire Music folder. When I open, for example, a season folder that contains files that would not copy, eg, Modern Family Season 5, the episodes that won't copy are there and visible but any attempt to drag and drop them into the correct folder on the new drive results in the error message. There is no pattern to it; it will choose some episodes from some seasons but not others, and no music at all.
    when I look at the "missing" files in  iTunes they have the small exclamation mark that indicates the file is missing, but when I locate it through iTunes it doesn't copy the file on the old external drive to the new one. It just plays it having found the file on the old drive.
    originally I had to make the iTunes folder on the old drive into a shared folder using the Get info window after either a software upgrade or an OS upgrade (I can't remember which, it was several years ago). For some reason the upgrade changed the preferences of that folder to a Read Only folder and after researching the problem found the only way to keep using the drive was to make the folder a shared one. I can't remember why and I apologise for that but it was a long time ago.; I can tell you that at the time it was necessary.
    thanks again for your time; I have a good working knowledge of iTunes and Macs in general so I truly believe I have done everything according to how it should be done,, but clearly I've done something wrong!

  • How can I delete hidden video files from the iPad?

    How can I delete hidden video files from the iPad?  These files were created on my MBA and when I changed the media type to iTunesU and then copied it to my iPad via iTunes, they did not appear.  I can see them using 3rd party software, but they don't have delete functionality.
    Thanks
    York

    Interesting note:  I can see the files when I use the search function, but when I tap either file, I return to my home screen.  The video does not open.  I can transfer the file to my MBA, and it plays fine, but I cannot figure out a way to delete them.

  • I can't see music/video files from my iPad2 or Nano on my Phillips home theatre. Do I need to covert the files?

    I can't see music/video files from my iPad2 or Nano on my Phillips home theatre. Do I need to covert the files?

    The problem is I can no longer back up my photo and video files taken on my phone, saved to my mac, by copying them and saving them on a USB stick or other external hard drive.
    Select the photos and videos in Photos and use the command "File > Export"  and select a folder on your USB stick to save the photos to.
