You may consider doing that, it largely depends on what you want the movie for once you have it on your Mac, sending it to YouTube is likely to cause it to lose much of its quality.

Transfer videos from iphone app to macbook

Hey i was just wondering if it's possible to transfer videos from iPhone apps to Macbook system?

Transferring videos from iPhone 4 to MacBook Pro

I need help!!! I regularly import my photos/videos from my iphone 4 onto my macbook pro. I do it through iPhoto, and then export the files onto the hard drive so that I can save in multiple places (hard drive, USB, etc.) Going thru everything today, I realized that none of my video files (.mov) play from my hard drive!! These are precious videos of my 3 kids that I hoped to keep forever and I'm afraid it's all lost as I've already deleted them off my phone after every import to the macbook! Someone please help!!!
Am I doing this the wrong way? Is there another way to transfer video files from my phone to macbook and have them still play normally?

Ok I can try that for next time...but is there any way I can get my other files to work properly? They play fine in iPhoto but I'd like to be able to save them to a USB drive.

I cant get video from my panasonic camcorder to imovie

I recorded a man who spoke at my sons school for the teacher. i used a panasonic camcorder. i cant figure out how to get the video to imovie from the camera. i tried a usb cord but it didnt work. so i bought a FW cable and i still cant get it to work. i tried pc mode and playback mode. i looked in the menu i didnt see a dv out option. what should i do?
thank you

Hi
NO CAMERA or A/D-box
Cable
• Are You sure that You are using the FireWire Cable - USB-Cable will not work for miniDV tape Cameras
FireWire - Sure not using the accompany USB-Cable but bought a 4-pin to 6-pin (or 9-pin) FW one ?
• Test another FW-Cable very often the problem maker.
Camera
• Test Your Camera on another Mac so that DV-in still works OK
• Toggle in iMovie pref. Play-back via Camera (on <-> off some times)
• Some Cameras has a Menu where You must select DV-out to get it to work
• Camera connected to "charger" (mains adaptor) - not just on battery
• Camera set in Playback mode - NOT Recording mode
Does Your Camera work on another Mac ?
Sorry to say it is to easy to turn the 6-pin end of the FW-cable 180 deg wrong.
This is lethal to the A/D-chip in the Camera = needs an expensive repair.
(Hard to find out - else than import/export to another Mac ceased to work
everything else is OK e.g. recording and playback to TV)
A/D-box
• Is the dip-switches set right ?
• Set to same standard as recorded/editing e.g. NTSC 29.97fps or PAL 25fps
• Try resetting it
Connections
• Daisy Chaining most often doesn’t work (some unique cases - it’s the only way that work (some Canon Cameras ?))
Try to avoid connecting Camera <--> external HD <--> Mac but import directly to the Mac then move
the Movie project to dedicated external hard disk.
• FireWire-port - Can be re-setted by - Turn off Mac and disconnecting Mac from Mains/Power for 20-30 minutes
External device’s (hard disk’s)
• Should be FireWire as USB/USB2 performs badly and so does Airport or Net-work connected ones too.
• MUST BE - Mac OS Extended formatted - UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - DO NOT WORK for video due to 4Gb barrier.
Mac
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk ? Please specify the amount of free space.
(Other hard disks don't count)
I go for a minimum of 25Gb free space for 4x3 SD Video - and my guess is 5 times more for 16x9 HD ones
after material is imported and edited. No Camera or A/D-box
• GarageBands fix - Close iMovie, Open GarageBand, Play some notes, Close GB and iMove can now be OK
• Does Your Mac have a FireWire Port
• White MacBooks - don't
• MacBook-Air - don't
if not then a few Mac’s has a PCM-CIA slot and there are FW-Cards that makes a FW-port this way
else - NO SOLUTION
Only option as I get it is either
• Use another Mac to Capture material (to an external USB2 - Mac OS Extended formatted hard disk - or -
• Change to another Camera that can be used with Your Mac (no there are no miniDV tape Cameras that can)
• If Your Mac-Book has a PCM-CIA Card place - then there are FW-port-Cards and then
You can import via this - but I've not seen this on more modern Macs. My PowerBook G4
has one and this FW-Card-port works greatly.
SoftWare
• Delete iMovie pref. file may help sometimes. I rather start a new account, log into this and have a re-try.
• Any strange Plug-ins into QuickTime as Perian etc ? Remove and try again.
• FileVault is off ? (hopefully)
• Screen Saver - OFF
• Energy Saver - OFF
Using WHAT versions ? .
• Mac OS - X.5.4 ?
• QuickTime version ? (This is the heart in both iMovie and FinalCut)
• iMovie’08 (7.1.?), 09 or 11 ?
• iMovie HD 6 (6.0.4/3) ?
Other ways to import Your miniDV tape
• Use another Camera. There where tape play-back stations from SONY
but they costed about 2-4 times a normal miniDV Camera.
• If Your Camera works on another Mac. Make an iMovie movie project here and move it
over to Your Mac via an external hard disk.
(HAS TO BE Mac OS Extended formatted - USB/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange WILL NOT DO)
(Should be a FireWire one - USB/USB2 performs badly)

Hi Bengt W, I tried it all, but nothing worked. Your answer has been helpful insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos) to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before. Thank you. LKN 1935
from Karsten.
in addition to Bengt's excellent '9 yards of advice' ..
camera set to 'Play' , not rec/computer/etc.?
camera not on battery, but power-line?
did your Mac 'recognize' this camera before...?
a technical check.
connect camera, on, playback, fw-connected...
click on the Blue Apple, upper left of your screen ..
choose 'About . . / More . .
under Firewire.. what do you read . . ?
More
• FileVault - Secure that it’s turned off
• Network storage - DOESN’T WORK
• Where did You store/capture/import Your project ?
External USB hard disk = Bad Choice / FireWire = Good
If so it has to be Mac OS Extended formatted
----> UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange is NOT Working for VIDEO !

Thanks for all your suggestions. What I learned is that I had a software problem. I had something called "Nikon Transfer" on my Mac that was recognizing my Canon camcorder as a still camera and was preventing iMovie from working properly. After un-installing Nikon Transfer and doing a reboot, everything worked great.
I never liked the Nikon Transfer software anyway--I guess I'll get a cheap card reader and use that to transfer photos in the future.
No Camera or bad import
• USB hard disk
• Network storage
• File Vault is on

if you have adobe cs3 or 4 and have the adobe bridge on close that
or no firewire will work
see if that helps

The problem was the external backup hard drive that is connected, you need to disconnect the external drive before the mac can see the video camera.

Maybe your problems is solved in the meantime, but for all others this might help as I had the same problem, also have the Sony HDR-HC7, but the 7e (Europe, PAL). I found this link today and it works perfectly
//support.sony-europe.com/tutorials/dime/videotransfer/vtransfer.aspx site=odw_en_GB&sec=DVH&m=HDR-HC7E
What I exactly did.- put camera in play mode - open guide - choose connection guide - choose comp./printer (where to transfer movie to) - select connection.- i-link (on my camera) but equal to firewire - OK - choose HDV - choose NO for conversion of i.link.
Settings are shown then (VCR HDV/DV.- HDV and i.link-conv..- OFF), press OK, OK, END.
Switch camera off. Connect firewire cable to camera & Mac. Switch camera on, in play/edit mode.
Open i-movie, choose import from camera. On screen below the camera connection is shown.- DV (HDV). Now you can import, automatically or manually.
This worked perfectly for me. Took me 2 days to find out. Could not find any clear thread explaining what I had to do on the camera and the manual was not clear either.

Recording video from iPhone straight to Macbook

I am using my iPhone 5 a lot for video recording purposes. A times when recordin my space will fill up and stop the recording. Is there a way to connect my iPhone to my Macbook and have video record straight to my Macbook instead of constantly uploading when my phone is full?

Sorry, no.

Cant get videos on iphone 4s

i taken videos on my iphone but when i synced thru itunes it will not allow me to put them back on my phone, saying format not suported even tho they were taken on iphone and are in correct format

Hi Dungo13,
If you are having issues syncing back video from iTunes that was taken with your iPhone, you may want to verify that video syncing in general is working, as outlined in the following article:

Getting contacts from iphone onto new macbook

I am having a problem getting all my contacts from my iphone to my new computer. I lost my last computer. I do have mobileme and have synced all my contacts from my phone to mobileme. In setting up my new computer, i went into system preferences to mobileme and put a check in the box next to contacts to sync the new computer with mobileme. it asked if i wanted to merge info on this computer or replace info on this computer with info from mobileme. i selected "replace info on this computer with mobileme info". it then said that i need to update contacts on Mobileme. It gave me the option to "fix later" or "replace". I selected fix later. My contacts from my iphone/mobileme were not showing up in my address book. i plugged in my iphone and selected to sync contacts. Still nothing in my address book. i then went back to sys prefs, and, bad move, i selected "replace" when it told me i needed to update mobileme contacts. IT WIPED ALL MY CONTACTS AWAY. i was thinking it would then ask me to replace from where, like from iphone or old computer. But no, it just wiped them all away. Why is it so difficult to get contacts and info from iphone onto new computer? And more importantly, is there a way of getting mobileme to revert back to the place it was before i wiped out all the contacts? I need to get my contacts back. All i was trying to do was get my contacts from my iphone onto a new computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

Thanks for all the support with this. Now i know where to go for help.

Need some pointers getting video from iPhone 4S to iMovie09

Based on my research in this forum either of these methods should work, but they're not working for me. If you have any advice on debugging the problem it would be greatly appreciated!
I took video with the 4S and see that it's in the Camera Roll.
First problem: I plug the 4S into my MacBook, open iMovie, and click on the camera icon. The 4S is not recognized - the only camera that appears is "Built-in iSight".
Second problem: importing via iPhoto. So next I connect the phone, open iPhoto, and import the video. Within iPhoto it clearly shows up as a new event and as last import. I can play it there. Now when I open iMovie, in the Event Library I see "iPhoto Videos" but when I click on it I'm told that there are no matching videos. The "show" is set to all clips. So there is some sort of mismatch between where iPhoto is putting the video and where iMovie expects it. Any thoughts on what settings I can check? I've been looking around with no success.
Right now the only way I can use 4S video in iM is to use a different transfer mechanism (i use Nikon Transfer) to get the .mov file onto my machine, then import this file. Not the ideal scenario! I've also found that with vertical video I have to import as full original size, otherwise the video comes in as a stretched horizontal format.
Thanks!

If the photos/videos have not been deleted from your iPhone, try using the Image Capture application for the import to see if there is any difference.

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.

Problems with emailing video from iPhone 4 to MacBook Pro

Hi all you helpful people,
I have taken some short videos on my iPhone, and have tried to email to my Macbook Pro. The email is received but there is not attached video.
I then downloaded the videos to iPhoto. The option to email the video does not come up at the bottom of the iPhoto screen. On File / Export it only brings up the options for exporting still photo files, eg jpeg.
I then dragged the video file to my desktop and opened a new mail message, and attached the video.
However, it won't send, the server times out. These are only short videos - some 5 sec long. I also can't now remove them from the quere to be sent on mail so everything is backed up behind them. Is there a way to clear them from the queue?
Surely it can't be this difficult? Am I missing something simple?
All help gratefully received!
Thanks.

Go to itunes. right click on your phone. select back up. It will copy everything to your computer.
