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.

    seeing iTunes deleted my iPod, how can I transfer music from iPhone to iTunes?

    any itunes purchased music can be transferred from phone to pc via hitting the "transfer purchases" option when u right click on the phone under devices in itunes on the computer when it is plugged in. any non-itunes purchased music is stuck on the phone and cannot be transferred to the computer. u will have to load it onto the computer from the original source or from the old computer.

  • Can't delete videos from iPhone on iTunes??? WHY? Help

    Hello.
    I have iphone 5 and I unloaded videos some time ago, after that I deleted them on phone, but
    when I open my iPhone in iTunes it still shows that movies and that space is used for them.
    I can't delete them in iTunes, there is no such option.
    Please advise what to do and how do delete these files properly?

    They don't have a cloud icon next to them at all do they? If so they are stored in the cloud and not actually on the phone at all.
    Regards,
    Steve

  • How can I transfer video from Iphone 4 to PC?

    Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but I am upgrading from the 3G so I dont know much about the video recording yet. All I want to do is transfer the video I took on my iPhone to my PC, I can't figure it out.
    Also, is it possible to upload 720p video directly to youtube from the iphone?
    Thanks.

    For a windows PC, you can use File Explorer. Just go to My COmputer, double-click the iPhone device and navigate to the DCIM folder. All film and photos from the camera roll are stored there.
    YOu can drag and drop them to your pc.

    You can recover any purchased songs that are on iPhones using the procedure here.
    If this is not available, you can ask Apple to allow you to download your music again. Note that, first, they DO NOT HAVE TO DO THIS. Purchase of music from the iTunes store entitles you to one download of that item. Second, note that if Apple does allow you to download a second time, they have to pay royalties on each download, whether you pay for it or not. Last, if they allow it, please back up your purchases.
    To request a redownload, contact iTunes support from the menus in iTunes or use this page.
    Best of luck.

    You can also use Dropbox. The Dropbox app has a very cool auto-upload process that will automatically upload photos and videos from the iPad Camera Roll to Dropbox.
    First sign up for a free Dropbox account from your computer.
    Then, download the free Dropbox app on your iPad.
    Log in to the Dropbox app on the iPad with your new account and click on the Photos icon in the lower left corner of the screen (second one from the left).
    Select "Enable Camera Upload" and "Only Wi-Fi." The upload process will begin for all existing photos in the Camera Roll.
    Do this on both your iPhone and iPad and you should be able to access all photos and videos from either device (or computer).
    Hope this answers your question!

    how can i transfer mails from iphone to outlook

    I misread your post.  You can't transfer items to iTunes without connection to your computer.  To transfer without synching, make sure you don't have your preferences in iTunes set to automatically synch.  Then when you connect your phone but before you synch, in iTunes File>Transfer purchases.  Note that only iTunes purchased media can be transferred this way.
