Cannot transfer 1.57GB video file from iPod to computer

I have an iPod touch 4th gen 8GB, and am unable to transfer a video file off it. The video file was taken as a movie using the iPod's camera. I've successfully copied all the other photos and videos, but this one won't copy.
What happens is this: I drag and drop the file to copy it. It appears to start working, but the copy window 'hangs' for a minute or two, then stops as if the copy had been completed. However, the destination file is zero bytes in size. I tried 'rebooting' the iPod, and also deleting all other photos and videos off the camera roll, but things still don't work.
I'm using a PC with Windows XP, and iTunes 10.5. iPod has iOS 5.0.1 (updated in the last couple of days). iPod currently has 3.6GB available. Destination folder on the PC has loads of space.
The troublesome file is the biggest video file on the iPod, 1.57GB. The next biggest file is 457 MB (which copied OK). Perhaps I'm running into some limit on the iPod file's size?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks-Ralph

- I will try a Mac (it will have OSX 10.5.something)
- I will also find a Windows 7 or Vista PC if possible.
- I will also try booting the XP PC into safe mode
I also tried disabling the Digital Camera Notifications as per http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1500 , in case that somehow was interfering with the copying process. It didn't make any difference.
I will post followups to all the above.
Thanks for your replies so far.

  • NOT ABLE TO IMPORT MUSIC AND VIDEO FILES FROM IPOD TO COMPUTER/ITUNES LIBRARY !!!!

    Hi.... I am having IPod Nano 5th Generation. I can access music and video files (that are stored in Ipod memory) in Ipod. But when I connect the ipod to computer, I am not able to access/import these music and video files through computer. Also, I am not able to see any folders like DCIM, Contacts, etc... in the memory of IPod. Can any body help me out... ?

    Search it up on google.com.  There's a lot of apps that will help you do this.  Check out this one:

    You can also check out this video:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWvYo6Gcq44
    I tried the import software (trial version) and it was fine but I didn't want to pay for software.  You can authorize up to 5 computers in the house to access your iTunes music and other iTunes purchases. Open iTunes, you can go under Store and select Authoize this computer.
    Good luck!

  • Transferring music,video & pics from ipod to computer

    I have been looking at ways to transfer all the stuff on my ipod to my new computer. I have actually done this before, but I totally forgot how exactly. Also, at that time, I had no pictures on my ipod and I had alot less music and videos. All of the applications that I have been looking at seem to be made for older versions of iTunes as most of them don't say anything about transferring videos or pictures. The one free one that seems ok is iPodRip or the ImTOO computer transfer. I just want to know if I decide to use either one of those or to manually take all of my songs, videos etc off my ipod, would I be able to take everything off of my ipod? Basically, would I be able to restore everything?

  • How do I repeat loop a video file from iPod Touch to Apple TV ?

    I have an iPod Touch that is a few years old but running the latest software update.  I want to loop a video to then play through Apple TV onto 2 panels at the front of our shop.  I have saved the file as a video and Music Video (using Get Info etc) but neither version in the iPod touch will supply the repeat function - it works fine from my MacBook Pro but I cannot leave this in the shop overnight.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated - evern if a third party app that actually works.  Thanks in advance, Shaun.

    This worked on older iOSs an may still work

  • Restoring lost video files from iPod Classic

    I was recently trying to move my Video Files (last three seasons of Cops all downloaded from Itunes) to a different location on my computer. To put a long story short they somehow disappeared and I’m not sure how. I have searched my hard drive and I didn’t even have them in my recycle bin.
    Fortunatly I still have them on my iPod Classic (160 GB) and I’m trying to figure out how to recover them from it, but I’m not sure if I have it set up to sync video files automatically or if it even works that way and I’m afraid to plug it into my computer or it might sync and delete the files.
    The first thing I tried was to plug it into a different computer (already authorized) so it would upload the files downloaded then I could use an external drive to transfer the files back to my regular computer. I was able to get the most recent season uploaded, but then I got an error message saying that it couldn’t upoload some of the protected files unless my computer was authorized (even though it was). I re-authorised my computer and it still didn’t work.
    I read that you can press Ctrl-Shift and hold it down while you plug your iPod in that it will prevent auto-syncing. I tried this but as soon as my iPod said “synchronizing” I unplugged it.
    Does anyone know how I could pull these files from my iPod to get them back on my computer?
    Message was edited by: WarHawkJAH

    To prevent auto sync, before you connect the iPod go to the iTunes preferences and select "devices", then select "disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods".

  • Transfer Amazon Instant Video Content from iPod Touch

    I made the mistake of purchasing a TV season from Amazon Instant video, unaware that I would not be able to download my content to my MacBook. I was able to download the TV season to my Windows Desktop using Amazon Unbox, but the DRM protected WMV files will not play on my Macbook. I was also able to download the TV season to my iPod Touch, using the Amazon Instant Video app. So, I was hoping to transfer these files from my iPod to my Macbook.
    Now my question is: Where are the downloaded video files saved on my iPod? I downloaded iFunBox to browse the files on my iPod, but I could not find the video files anywhere. Does anyone know where the Amazon Instant Video app saves downloaded content in the iPod Touch's file structure?
    Thank you,
    James

    Update:
    I was able to locate the files I was looking for, however, they were not video files. Each TV episode is represented by a folder containing hundreds of small .data files.
    Does anyone know if .data files can be reassembled into a video? I have a feeling this is linked to DRM protection.
    Thanks,
    James

  • Retreiving files from iPod post-computer crash

    My G5 crashed last week and so I had to reinstall all applications. My iPod however still has all of the files from my library pre-crash... how can I retreive them?! I have tried the manual transfer but can't access the iPod's files. Help! Thanks!

    The transfer of non iTMS content is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there's a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to your Mac at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
    If you prefer something more automated there are also a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. I use Senuti but check the others out and choose whichever you are happy with.
    You can read reviews of some of these here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Senuti Mac Only
    iPodRip Mac Only
    PodWorks Mac Only
    iPod.iTunes Mac Only
    PodView Mac Only
    iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    The transfer of purchased content to an authorised computer has recently been introduced with iTunes 7, for more on this function look under under File>"Transfer Purchases from iPod". A paragraph on it has been added to this article: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer

  • How to copy an Excel, Word, music or video file from my Windows computer to iphone 4s?

    I am using my new iphone 4s for 2 weeks now.  I am not able to copy my favourite old music and video files and some useful Excel, Word and Pdf files from my Sony Vaio.  Why doesn't it allow for copy paste when it is connected to my laptop by USB cable?  Moreover it doesn't accept Bluetooth connection from my computer as well.  Then I tried emailing the file, but it doesn't download the file, instead makes a link in the homescreen and for opening the file, I have to connect to the inernet. 
    I don't know what is happening with this phone.  These are the basic things which a user wants in any phone.  If it is not allowing for these things despite all that hypes and fame sorrounding it, it is a pretty useless thing.  So is there any option to copy the files onto it?  Thank you in advance.

    Something doesnt quite sound right here, firstly an iPhone isnt a media storage device so you cant simply move files to it, you need to use an App such as Documentd to Go or cloud storage such as Drop Box or Sky drive to store the documents then you will be able to View them from your phone.
    Emailing them is another option and this works fine for all the people i know, for pdf, excel, word and txt documents and most common files but again this is view only.
    Apple have their our apps, Pages, Numbers etc which also uses the cloud to store the documents which can then be accessed from any ios device or mac etc.
    Finally as mentioned above, music and video's are managed through iTunes, using Apple products means you need to use the tools offerred by Apple to get best use of the device, thats just the way it is with Apple.

  • How do i transfer files FROM ipod TO computer?!?!

    I had to restore windows on my comp, which meant i lost all files on my comp, an i had no backup of my music. Please tell me there is away to transfer music from my ipod to my computer

    You have to hook the iPod up then choose to not sync it to your "new library". Enable iPod "disc use" in the "Preferences\iPod" menu, then navigate thru the iPods folder structure to the actual MP3s. They'll be in numbered folders, but you can cruise through them with Explorer. Copy them back to your hard drive, then tell iTunes to "Add to Library" wherever you put them.
    Make sure they play first, then resync your iPod. Not sure if this will work for MP4 files (downloaded from iTunes store), but know it works for MP3s.

  • Cannot transfer recorded big video files to computer

    So I recorded a 12 min vid with the touch the other day, and it just' won't transfre to the computer. I get some error & it won't go through my desktop. The vid plays fine on my ipod. So I just did another test to record another 12 min vid, and I got the same problem with that video. Seems like I'm not able to transfer big videos to my computer because I'll get an error.....

    Called an apple support & they solved it. Apparently IOS 4.1 is having these problems.

  • 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.
