Delete video files in iPhone

Can I delete the video files in iPhone without using iTunes? If so, can you tell me how. Thanks!

For video transferred from your iTunes library, swipe across the video in the iPod to bring up the Delete button for the video.
Apple includes a Safari bookmark on the iPhone for the iPod User Guide, which can also be downloaded on your computer here.

Is there a way to recover deleted videos from my iphone without buying software

Need to recover deleted videos off my iphone, the files are present but unable to restore without buying software. Is there a way restore videos without buying extra software?

Thanks for replying - no, I had not done a backup since the shots were taken and then attemped to put them in an album as I did not want to change the enviornment of the phone from when I had inadvertently delted them. Unfortunatlely, when asked "Do you want to delete these photos from all locations," I hit yes and they were also deleted from my Photostream.

Is there a way to recover deleted video files from the finder folder

I recently and mistakenly deleted video files that were in my Finder folder,don't know why they were in there but that's another question, in doing this it also deleted them from IMovie and I have lost them unless someone out there know's different,

If you haven't emptied your trash, they should be there.
If not, they should be in your last Time Machine backup. (Or other backup.)

Just locate the videos you want to delete in your iTunes library and delete them, simple as that.

Transfer photo/video files from iPhone 5 to MacBook?

I was able to complete steps #1 and #2 of the iTunes help offered under "Transfer files from your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad to your computer" but for step #3, "Below File Sharing..." there was no File Sharing menu or ability to choose the Photos app in my iPhone 5. Where should I look for that or is there more de-tailed guidance available elsewhere?

How do I permanently delete video files?

How do I permanently delete video files?

Perhaps you do not have permissions to move the file. Do a get info on a file you cannot delete. Open the details triangle. Report back.
This seems rather odd. Is the file on an internal or exernal disk?
You may want to run these "standard" fixes if the problem persists.
You should run disk utility to verify the disk and to update your permissions.
You may want to run applejack to clean up your machine.

Can i restore deleted videos from my iphone

I accidentally deleted the videos from my iphone, is there a way to restore them?

Hey there Fadi,
It sounds like you would like to restore your deleted videos to your iPhone. If you had a back up in either iTunes or iCloud you can restore from that back up with the following article:

TS4036 how do you retrieve a deleted video from an iphone 4S

How do I retrieve a deleted video from my Iphone 4S?

Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are included with the iPhone's backup. If your iPhone's backup was updated since the video was captured and the backup has not been updated again since it was deleted from the iPhone, you can try restoring your iPhone with iTunes from the iPhone's backup. Don't update the backup before doing so.

Will deleting videos/playlist on Iphone 4 automatically delete files in itunes next time I sync my phone?

I just deleted some songs/videos on my iphone to make some space to download a movie. I want to know next time I sync my phone will those songs be deleted from my itunes folder? or will they remain.
any sugguestions are helpful
thanks
jazmine

No. Assuming that they were in your iTunes folder, they will be put back on the phone on the next sync, unless you specify that you don't want them synced, in which case they will just stay on your computer. I am assuming here that the videos you are referring to are videos in your iTunes library, not videos you have made that are in the camera roll. They would be gone unless you had previously transferred them to a computer.

Is it possible to recover a deleted (unsynced) file from iphone 4s

I have an iPhone 4s 5.1. I deleted a file yesterday and I would like to recover it from the flash drive.
I know that files can be recovered from flash drives! I have done it before. Unfortunately the software I used before will not recognise the iPhone as a drive of any kind flash, external or hard!
I have not synced the phone either by iCloud or physically to my PC since deleting, so recovery is not possible via iTunes.
I have a PC so I am unable to use 3rd party software such that only works on MACs (disc drill for example)
What I am getting at is, can it be done? I am not sure it can unless it is possible for my PC to see the iPhones flash drive as a PC recognisable (for want of a better word) flash drive!
I have also tired other 3rd party software that CLAIMS it can recover lost/deleted files from an iPhone but guess what…….. Yep, all of them are unable to see the flash drive of my phone.
So, is there a PC owner out there that has successfully recovered a deleted files from an iPhone?

I want to know if you have backed up those files to iCloud before? If you did, you can just connect your iPhone 6 with the computer which have FonePaw iPhone Data Recovery software and scan your iPhone to find out iCloud backups.
iPhone Data Recovery can recover deleted photos, videos, messages, contacts, call history, notes, etc. from iTunes & iCloud. You can restore iPhone from iCloud quickly. Hope you can solve this issue.

N95 8GB: Problem on deleting video file

I followed your steps but I got this message.... "USB data transfer mode activated. MASS MEMORY MAY NOT BE USED DURING THIS TIME."
Actually the video file was not there anymore in my File Mgr folder but the problem is the video file is still there in Video centre > My videos folder. When I tried to delete the file using "c" or Options > delete, the error says "Unable to delete. File video.mp4 is open."
I also tried to reset the phone to its factory settings but still video file was there.
I think this is a bug. Pls advice. Tnx in advance.

Copy video file from iPhone 3GS to windows XP

I have a video on my iPhone which is about 18 mins long and 482MB in size. When I try to copy (from Windows explorer) and paste the file to my Windows XP system, it shows it is trying to copy the file but then nothing happens. It creates a zero byte file on my Windows system.
I even tried the 'scanner and camera wizard'. This program shows the progress bar but when it reaches 100% it gives me the message that 'The current picture cannot be copied. To copy this picture, click "Try Again". To stop copying, click "Cancel".'
I had other video files which copied successfully but were probably half the size of this file.
Could the reason be the file size? If the file size is the restriction, then there is no point in using the video feature to shoot continuous video.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

The size of the file shouldn't make any difference as long as there is room on your PC for it. What I do is use the Camera Wizard and select the open to view files option. From there I just click on the files to locate the video I want to copy and either drag it to where I want it on the PC or copy and paste it there. If it's a larage file it may take a few seconds to copy over.

Unable to transfer Video files from iPhone to iPhoto

My daughter's iPhone 5S was stolen and she transferred her 2500+ picture camera roll to her brother's iPhone 4. Then her laptop died and was transferred to a brand new MAC. Upon syncing, backing up and restoring her iphone 4 I am finding that I repeatedly get the message. I have erased and restored her iPhone 3X.
"Error downloading image. iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image"
Now I was thinking the library was damaged, but have rebuilt it 2X. I then imported individual pictures and they went in fine.
Now what I did notice is that there are 7 small video clips each about 4-10 seconds long that are NOT importing. In fact, in iPhoto they show up as MOV and do not even show a preview video so I can't tell which videos they are other than by the length of the video. Sadly with over 2500 files there are many short video clips so I don't know which one's for sure she is unable to get without searching the #@)*^&%)!&^!!!! iPhoto library and comparing them one by one to see which ones are there.
I also tried importing the video files to a brand new library on the same computer and got the same error.
The same appears to happen going to a brand new library on a DIFFERENT computer. So I'm pretty sure the problem is with those 7 video files.
Does anyone have any suggestions for how to find and remove this 7 short clips and salvage them for her? I suppose she could email them to herself.
Thanks

Sorry, I can see I wasn't clear. The video files are on the iPhone and I'm guessing they are corrupt. I've read a number of your forums on checking to see if the problem is with the iPhoto library, but in this case I don't believe that to be true because:
1. It fails when I create a new library on the same computer.
2. It fails when I create and attempt to sync on a DIFFERENT computer with which I created a brand new iPhoto library.
3. These files (7 of them) actually look different on iPhoto and DO NOT have the preview icon that shows you what it is. They simply say .mov or something like that.
