Can't sync videos from iPhone to iPhoto

Just bought a MacBook Pro. My daughter has sent me some videos from her iPhone to mine. When I try to sync from iPhone to iPhoto, the photos sync fine, but iPhoto doesn't see the videos, which are saved in the camera roll. Yes, I have checked "include videos" in the iTunes menu.
The funny thing is that on my old G4 PowerBook, iPhoto would see the videos and import them just fine.
What am I not doing?

iPhoto should import them just fine. Have you tried repairing permissions on your Macbook, then re-booting & see if iPhoto will see & import them.

  • Can I download  video from iPhone 4s to iPod touch 2

    can I download  video from iPhone 4s to iPod touch 2?

    This what I've tried so far:
    Downloaded photos from the iPhone to the computer.  Videos and photos transferred without problem.
    Plugged in the iPod Touch (2) and all photos synced just fine, but no video appeared. 
    While the iPod was connected I looked In the menu bar of iPhoto, when I chose movies, none were listed.
    I cannot find an item listed in the settings menues that seem relevant.
    I have emailed the movies successfully from the iPhone 4s.

  • Sync video from iPhone 4 to iTunes..?

    I've just got my new iPhone 4 (upgraded from iPhone 2G) and it's superb!
    I recorded my first video today but for the life of me I can't seem to get it to sync into iTunes. Everything else works fine.
    I'm quite sure I'm missing something blindingly obvious here but does anyone have any pointers?
    Thanks.

    Page 122 of the manual:
    "Uploading Photos and Videos to Your Computer
    You can upload the photos and videos you take with Camera to photo applications on
    your computer, such as iPhoto on a Mac.
    Upload photos and videos to your computer: Connect iPhone to your computer.
    Â Mac: Select the photos and videos you want and click the Import or Download
    button in iPhoto or other supported photo application on your computer.
    Â PC: Follow the instructions that came with your photo application.
    If you delete the photos and videos from iPhone when you upload them to your
    computer, they’re removed from the Camera Roll album. You can use the iTunes
    Photos settings pane to sync photos and videos (videos can be sync with Macs only)
    to the Photos application on iPhone. See “iPhone Settings Panes in iTunes” on page 55."

  • Can't sync videos from iPhoto to iPhone

    My pictures sync fine, but can't get the videos I shot with my camera to sync to my iPhone. Size-wise, they are within the limits allowed. Any suggestions?

    iPhoto should import them just fine. Have you tried repairing permissions on your Macbook, then re-booting & see if iPhoto will see & import them.

  • How do I get videos from iPhone to iPhoto?

    I upgraded to 5.1 and iCloud, photostream etc, but am finding it much more complicated than the previous way I sync'd my iPhone.
    I used to plug in my phone, press Sync, all my photos would zoom from my Camera Roll to iPhoto, including any videos I had taken on my iPhone, then it would ask me if I wanted to delete the contents of my Camera Roll.  Apart from the fact that I would have liked to 'protect' a few photos before deleting them all, this worked well.
    I don't go on my MacBook every day, so I quite often build up quite a few photos on my iPhone.
    Now, only my photos sync, they don't do it quickly when I press sync, but slowly and in bits n bobs. The videos don't sync and I am not asked if I want to delete photos after they have been synced.
    Can anyone help? 

    And now every time I plug my USB to my iphone in, it comes up for about a minute in iPhoto, then disappears and I can't see it in Devices at all.
    I am sorry that I can't understand this, but I thought the point of Apple was that it was based on an intuitive system.  It used to be, because (as you can tell!) I am not techy, and yet it all worked perfectly and I have been yelling about it from the rooftops since 2003.
    But since upgrading to 10.7 and 5.1, iCloud and all the rest of it, everything has just gone to xxx. I am spending half my life fiddling around, trying to understand how the wretched system works and I am so fed up.
    My Word/Excel etc don't work any more, my iPhoto has gone to **** and I can't make my iPhone sync with my computer any more. I don't really understand the benefits of photostream and I am so hacked off with the whole thing that I feel like opting out altogether and writing on a wax tablet.
    I would be embarrassed, but I know that I am not alone. There are loads of people saying the same thing. You techies might think it is pathetic, but computers are meant to be for everyone, busy mums included.
    Sorry, rant over. Going to bed.

  • Can't transfer video from iPhone to iTunes

    Hi, I hope this hasn't been covered in another thread already. I did a cursory search and turned up nothing.
    I bought a music video from the iTunes store on my iPhone. when I plug the iPhone into my iMac and it shows up in iTune's menu I try to drag-and-drop the video to iTunes it won't transfer over. This proceedure has always worked in reverse (from iTunes to iPhone) in the past, but why not this way? Also I downloaded some podcasts to the iPhone and the same story; won't transfer to iTunes.
    FYI: I don't have auto-sync set up between iTunes and my iPhone because I don't want everything that is on iTunes on my iPhone, just the stuff I select.

    After connecting your phone to iTunes, right-click your device name and select "Transfer Purchases" This will transfer to iTunes everything you purchased on your iPhone without syncing.
    BTW, you can set up iTunes to sync only selected music, videos, podcasts and apps without "drag/drop". On the summary page of your device, check "Sync only checked songs and videos". In your library, check which items you want to sync to your phone in Music, Movies, TV, Podcasts, Audiobooks, Apps, Ringtones, Radio.

  • Problems syncing photos from iPhone to iPhoto

    I have an iPhone 4 installed with iOS 5.0.1. I also have a slightly older version of iPhoto (I believe it's one generation behind; whatever that is). Prior to updating my iPhone to either iOS 5 or iOS 5.0.1 (I didn't check between updates) I used to be able to sync my photos FROM my iPhone into iPhoto. I can no longer do this and Apple has no idea what the problem is?!?!
    iPhoto appears as though it's going to start syncing photos but then does nothing except gives me a big white screen; almost like it doesn't recognize the phone. I've tried deleting the photo cache and nothing. I've tried calling Apple support and nothing.
    Can anyone help me with this, as it is very inconvenient to keep emailing photos to myself. I assume the issue has to do with the iCloud folder and iPhoto doesn't know what to do with the iCloud photo. Of course Apple has to understand this is an issue before it will be fixed, if I am correct.
    Suggestions?

    Since iPhoto syncing is not working for you right now and you need to replace your phone, consider transferring your pictures wirelessly to your computer using and app like PhotoSync.  Also be sure to back up your contacts as they are not fully backed up as part of the iPhone backup.  Either sync them to a service such as Google or use an app like My Contacts Backup (which will back up your contacts as an attachment to an email that your send to yourself and can later be used to import your contacts to your new phone).

  • Receive an error message when trying to import any videos from iphone to iphoto on my desktop.  Help?

    I have 6 videos on my iphone, varying in length from 24 seconds to 11 minutes, that will not import to iphoto.  I have tried to import them as a group and individually but get a message that 'there was a problem accessing the file.'  I had no difficulty importing over 300 photos from the phone to the desktop.  Any suggestions/help would be appreciated.  Thanks.  Anne

    See if you can use Image Capture to upload the video files to a folder on the Desktop and then import from there into iPhoto.

  • Can't see Video on iPhone in iPhoto

    I have transferred a 16 minute video shot on my iPad onto my iPhone 6 (via Airdrop).
    I now wish to transfer it from my iPhone onto my iMac, using iPhoto.
    However the video, is not showing up as being on my iPhone under iPhoto!
    Can someone please exlain why and/or how I can transfer my video?

    With the iPhone connected to your iMac launch Image Capture.  You should be able to see all photos and videos on your iPhone.  Select the video and download to a folder on the Desktop.  Then import into iPhoto from there.
    Is the video displayed in your Camera Roll?
