Getting 1,000+ tiny videos onto iPhone??

I've got over a thousand tiny videos* that I'm trying to get onto my iPhone.
iTunes considers them "movies". As such, I need to select each and every one of them in the Movies tab to try to sync them to my iPhone. Ugh.
So then I noodled around and discovered there's an option to copy Music Videos when syncing. More noodling around and I discovered that I can set that on the Get Info window's Video tab.
However, this option is not on the Get Options window if you select more than one video. Argggghhhhhhhhhh!
Is there a way to batch-change a video's type to "Music Video"? Or is there a better way of handling this?
*--The videos are all from 1 to 8 seconds long. They are video examples of American Sign Language from a dictionary I bought. I'd love to be able to carry around a video dictionary with me!

Hmm... more information:
I manually changed a few of them to "Music video" and they transfered just fine.
But they don't play.
All I see is one frame of video, but it won't play.
If I change it back to "Movie", select it in the Movies tab, and resync, then it shows up in movies but it still doesn't play. This time, I don't even see the single frame of video--it's completely black.
Is there a minimum movie length?
Does it have to have a sound track? These are video-only files (as you might expect for American Sign Language). I converted them using iTunes itself, so I figured it would add anything necessary.
Thanks for any help.

  • Getting video onto iPhone

    Task: get .mov &c video onto iPhone.
    So far I have managed to DL a file converter that has made a (really lo res) mp4 file out of a mov file, which is now in a playlist on iTunes. When I synch the phone, the file doesn't show up. How do I get it to be recognised by the iPhone?
    Searched for an answer and read the cryptic msg that Apple want you to have different file sizes?!
    This should be a breeze and it isn't!

    Hi there, Try this. In iTunes go to "Video" tab in the iPhone summary. Click on "Sync" and "all TV shows" and finally try to sync again your iPhone. It should be there now. I hope.

  • Getting music videos onto iPhone 4

    I would like to play downloaded music videos through a home theatre product i have recently purchased and I've having a bit of trouble....
    Firstly, i have never had problems playing 'normal' mp4 style videos which i have in iTunes, and have copied over to my iPhone 4- These can be found in the iPod mode under 'Videos' and play fine.
    I tried to get music videos onto my phone directly from my mac- (these appear both in my music library in iTunes and in the 'Music Videos' Playlist), but when i try syncing it to my iPhone when its connected it appears to sync, but afterwards i cannot find it anywhere on the iPhone!
    I though i had cracked it then, when i downloaded 3/4 music videos directly from the itunes store on my iPhone 4, as they downloaded with no problems, and suddenly appeared under a new category in the video option (in iPod mode on iPhone 4) labelled music videos. I was chuffed and this worked fine, until i synced with itunes on my mac again (for backup purposes) and it decided to get rid of them from my phone. Once more I'm back to square one, with the music videos on my Mac fine, but with no way of getting them back on my iPhone4. I'm sure I'm being an idiot and there is something simple I'm missing but i just cant work it out....
    please please help!!!

    I am having the same issue. I have tried reinstalling itunes, I have wiped my phone and set it up again. I don't know what else to do.

  • Getting videos onto iPhone

    Currently to transfer a video onto my iPhone I have to select "manually update music" from my phone settings. Is there any other way to easily sync videos because manually updating my music is kind of a pain at times. Any help would be great!

    You can manually manage music and videos or sync. You can do one or the other, not both at the same time.
    When you have sync enabled, if you switch to manually manage music and videos, all music and videos available on your iPhone will be erased first. When you have manually manage music and videos selected, if you switch to syncing, all music and videos available on your iPhone via manually manage music and videos will be erased first.
    If both movies were purchased from the iTunes Store, the movies should be available below the Movies section under the Videos tab for your iPhone sync preferences. If you want to sync instead of manually manage music and videos, deselect this under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences. This will erase all iTunes content from your iPhone.
    Follow this by selecting Sync Movies under the Videos tab for your iPhone sync preferences. Select the movies in the window below followed by a sync.

  • Getting movies (not just video) from iPhone 3GS to Mac

    I did the following in order (question at end)
    captured video using iPhone 3GS
    synced video from iPhone to iPhoto on Mac
    imported iPhoto video to iMovie
    created movie in iMovie
    used "Share" feature in iMovie to share the movie in iTunes (so I could play on Apple TV)
    synced movie back to iPhone
    deleted movie from Mac (where iTunes was accessing it)
    Now, the movie content only resides on my iPhone...can I get it back from the iPhone onto my Mac (so I can eventually get it back into iTunes)?
    Thank you in advance...

    I've found another thread dealing with the video part of this problem, which, for me, has solved the image problem as well. Here's the thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2489460
    Thanks to Grognard for suggesting this:
    Step one: turn off and on your iPhone.
    Step Two : launch iTunes and iPhoto
    Step three : connect the iPhone to the computer
    Then importation will be possible.
    Clearly this still seems to be a glitch -- these kinds of work-arounds are a huge pain. Hope an update will solve the problem.

  • Drag and drop videos onto iphone

    Basically, I can't for some reason drag and drop videos onto my iphone 4. I manually manage my music and vids, songs I can drag and drop, but when it comes to videos, nothing happens. I have converted my videos to mp4 h264 format as required and still no progress. I cant think of what to do now. Someone help!!!
    I'm using windows xp.
    thanks!!

    Now I tried downloading other albums that are in my library but not on my phone and those didn't work either. Could it be my phone or itunes that's not working?

  • Cant get hypnosis session from cd onto iphone??

    Im trying to put my hypnosis session that was put onto a cd for me onto my iphone.
    I was able to get it on my itunes and that was it. I try and drag it over and it wont let me put it onto my phone.
    How can i get it there? any help is appreciated! 

    The iPhone can be synched only to a single computer, so yes, if you sync your iPhone to another computer in any way - and that includes manual management - then all your content currently on your iPhone will be erased. So you need to get those audio tracks onto the computer to which you normally sync your iPhone, or if you now wish to use another computer to do your synching, you'll need to get all the content from your iPhone or the other computer to that new one before you allow it to sync.

  • Cannot get Music or Video onto iPhone 5

    Hi
    I have a new Iphone 5 - 16gb, 
    I cannot download any of my purchased music or new purchase from the store - it runs through the download, gets to processing then fails with a "item cannot be downloaded at this time - Done or Retry"
    I cannot sync any music from my PC (Sony Vaio).  It appears to run through the process, but nothing transfers - under music on the iPhone the selection appears greyed out in iTunes, but cannot be seen from the device.
    Match is not enabled.  Auto Update is not enabled
    It does actually sync photos.
    My iPod Classic and Ipad (new one with lightening) work abosulutly fine.
    So far I have:
    Re-installed iTunes
    Reset and restored iPhone
    Changed from Manual to Automatic Sync
    Changed endless spurous settings that have been suggested on various forums
    After 5 hours of trying I am on the verge of giving up and returning to Android as the iPhone isn't fit for purpose.
    If anyone has any ideas that will help I would be incredibly grateful as I really don't want to revert to my old phone.
    Thanks

    Update
    I reset the iPhone and set it up as a new phone (not using a previous backup).  This seems to have fixed the problem with downloading purchases.  I tried this with a purchase from yesterday and will try a couple of others.
    I will try it with iTunes shortly and see if this has fixed this problem as well.
    I am wondering if the problem stems from using a backup file originally created on my iPad to initially set up the phone. 

  • Get pst file with contacts onto iPhone 5s

    I have a pst file with contacts from an old outlook account.  How do I get the contacts in that pst onto my iPhone 5s?  Either through my PC (Windows)?  iCloud? or iTunes?

    To get the contacts in your iCloud online address book with the new computer, you must download and install the iCloud control panel making your iCloud contacts available and synced with Outlook on the PC. Add the contacts from the pst file to Outlook and in your iCloud address book.
    If you can get the pst file exported as a vCard, you can import vCards into your iCloud online address book with a browser.

  • Getting old PC-produced videos onto external drive - a longshot

    Hi all,
    I have a particular problem and can't get very far on my own.
    I have 11-12 years of "home movies" stored on DVDs.  I still have the original DV tapes of many of them, but many more of the original electrons are long gone.  That's OK.  I don't mind.
    What I want to do is get the content of those DVDs onto an external drive (probably as mp4's) so that I can convert them into the next-generation technology when there is a next-generation technology.
    The problem is that the earliest of these 50 DVD were made on a Sony VAIO laptop with Sony software called Click-to-DVD.  I don't really know how to use handbrake, and I don't really know what to do.  And it looks like all my Macs don't want to read the files created by the Sony laptop and software (which are now long gone).
    Does anyone have any suggestions?  Should I just pay some 14-year-old to figure this out??
    Thank you for any and all suggestions that an only moderately-computer-literate person can understand.  Thanks!

    Good!
    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
    (unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
    Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
    And from the TOU of these forums:
    Keep within the Law
    No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
    Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
    If you are running Lion:
    From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
    The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.
    To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
    The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

  • How do I get my project with video onto my website?

    I just want to be able to upload my project, which is a mixture of slides with video. There seems to be multiple ways to upload, but I don't know which method to use over another and while I've tried doing so the videos don't work. 
    So I tried again and tried to link my videos that I currently host on Amazon S3 into my project, but it won't let me do that.  Is there a way to do that? If I can't use Amazon S3, where should I host my videos?  What am I doing wrong??
    I'm using Captivate 7 (32 bit)
    I've slides with audio added and videos embedded as a video object.
    Much of Captivate is very easy and intuitive to create projects, but I want to get this up online.
    Maybe I'm completely missing the point and it's really easy, but I'm now so confused I don't know what to do.
    A simple guide to uploading a project would be very helpful.
    Thanks

    Have you tried bouncing yet? Underneath your Main Stereo Outs there is a little button for Bouncing. Hit that and a menue will open. Choose the format you want to bounce (44.1/16 Bit perhaps) and set the beginning and end point of your Song. If you setup a cycle for the whole length of the Song it will automatically take the Locators as the the Bounce In and Out Points. There is also the option "add to iTunes Library" in that menue, so choose that and later burn a CD from your iTunes library.

  • Getting contacts from mobile phone onto iPhone

    What is the best way to get my contacts from my mobile phone on to my iPhone. I assume I need to push my contacts from my mobile to my mac address book and then sync the iPhone - what steps must I take to achieve this [mainly in reference to pushing my current mobile phone contacts to my mac]?
    Thanks in advance.

    It doesn't look like any LG phones are supported.
    http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/isync/
    Check with your cellular provider - the provider you are using with your unlocked iPhone for a method to export the contacts from your LG phone in a format that can be imported by Apple's Address Book.

  • Getting contacts from old phone onto iPhone

    I've seen a few posts similar to this, but I'm looking for a simple answer. I had a Samsung phone through AT&T with a sim card and have many contacts on there. I'd like to bring them into the iPhone but don't know where how to insert the sim card to do this. Can it be done and can I do it myself or do I need to go into a store? I see a slot at the top of the iPhone, but it's not obvious how to remove it from the device. Thanks.
    If I do this, can I then synch to my Yahoo contacts or will this overwrite the contacts from the sim card of the previous phone?

    Page 6 of the iphone users guide covers SIM card installation.
