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:

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.

How do I undelete video from iphone 3gs?

Accidentally deleted video from iPhone 3gs.
How can I undelete?

Hi Friend,
If you placed the video using iTunes you can just sync your iPhone with iTunes again and the video will be in your device again.

Do not import video from iPhon 4s in iPhoto 9.4.3 (720.91)

Do not import video from iPhon 4s(6.1.3(10B329)) in iPhoto 9.4.3 (720.91) on my iMac(iMac 27"_Intel Core i5 2,8 GHz_RAM 4 GB_HDD 3Tb_ATI Radeon HD 5750 1Gb_Mac Os 10.8.4)
"unreadable files.
Could not import because did not recognize the file format"

Presumably you mean 'Does not...'?
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
Post back with the result.

How to transfer purchased video from iPhone 3GS to computer?

Hi all,
So I just bought an iPhone 3GS, my first iPhone, and I've also done my first purchase of TV shows off of the iTunes store. (Series 2 of Torchwood as well as the recently aired Children of Earth.) I did the initial purchase on the iTunes store from the phone itself, not realizing that I couldn't actually download the episodes onto the device since that'd take ages over the 3G network. But I did see that I could download the HD episodes to my computer and the SD ones onto the device.
Fine, I think, I'll take my iPhone home and pull the episodes already download off of it onto the computer...
... only I can't find any way to do that. I have seen that I can download episodes directly to the computer and sync those down to the iPhone, but this has caused duplication of episodes; for example, I wound up with two copies of episode #3 of series 2 because the one coming in off the computer didn't actually override the one on the phone.
To further confuse matters, episodes 1 and 2 have vanished off the phone and I can't figure out if this is because I've watched those on the computer...?
Anybody got any ideas? I'd like to be able to free up space on the phone by pulling the five episodes on it onto my computer, so I won't have to download those twice. Thanks in advance!
Anna

Nope, Transfer Purchases didn't work for me at all.
I wound up emailing Apple Support directly for help and they couldn't give me an answer as to why that wasn't working either. But we did eventually reach a workaround of them unlocking some of the duplicate downloads for me so that I could do them again on my computer, while also deleting the files directly off the iPhone in manual mode. Not an ideal solution, but it did at least give me a way to get all the episodes onto my actual computer.
Thanks to y'all who've already answered.

Voice Memos- How to move from iphone 3GS to Mac?

Okay. How do I move a voice memo from my iPhone 3GS to my Mac? All software and hardware is current. All I want to do is move voice memos from iPhone to my Mac. Memos are 30 minutes plus and cannot email from iphone. So I want to move to my Mac and email if I want. How to? thanks! rr

Syncing Voice Memos
iTunes automatically syncs voice memos to your iTunes library when you connect iPhone to your computer. This lets you listen to voice memos on your computer and provides a backup if you delete them from iPhone.
Voice memos are synced to the Voice Memos playlist. iTunes creates the playlist if it doesn’t exist. When you sync voice memos to iTunes, they remain in the Voice Memos application until you delete them. If you delete a voice memo on iPhone, it isn’t deleted from the Voice Memos playlist in iTunes. However, if you delete a voice memo from iTunes, it is deleted from iPhone the next time you sync with iTunes.

MMS video from Iphone 3GS to Iphone 3G

I know we can send pictures from Iphone 3GS to Iphone 3G, but can we send videos from 3GS to 3G. I wonder because the 3G doesn't have the video feature and therefore, I suspect it won't be able to play the video. Someone knows anything about this?
Thanks in advance

the 3G doesn't have a video RECORDING feature..... why would that prevent the 3G from being able to play videos? playing videos and capturing/recording videos are two completely different things.
you suspect wrong.

Can't synch Notes or Contacts from iPhone 3GS after upgrade to iOS5

After I upgraded to iOS5 on my iPhone 3GS, I no longer can synch Notes and Contacts from iPhone to Outlook or iCloud. Calendar synchs OK.

After 2 hours with Apple Support, which was great, we figured out the issue. 1-800-my-iphone. When I upgraded to iOS5 and started using the iCloud, I was unaware that my previous synching settings were still set to Yahoo.com where I had been sycning wirelessly in the past. So the Apple support tech showed me that I had multiple accounts in both Notes and Contacts. I had iPhone, iCloud, yahoo, Outlook accounts and my default settings on the iphone should have all been set to icloud. Syching was occuring, but not in icloud. It took a little manual conversion of some Notes and Contacts into the icloud folders in Outlook, but now everything works and I only display and use the iCloud accounts in Notes and Contacts. Apple realizes that this is an issue for those of us that were previously using Yahoo and equivalents for wireless synching and they provded my support free. Usually they charge $27. All is well.

How do I upload homemade videos from iPhone 3gs to windows laptop?

Hey Everyone,
I have been happily using my iphone 3GS for two years now and am just about to upgrade to the 4GS. I am transferring my data from my old phone to my windows laptop (fairly old generic model) so that I can restore the 3GS to factory settings before I part-exchange it for the new 4GS.
I have managed to sync my purchased music to my iTunes library on my laptop. I have managed to upload my photos from the Photostream on the 3GS to my Picasa account on my laptop. What I seem completely incapable of doing is uploading some 20-25 short (1-9mins max) homemade videos taken on my 3GS to my laptop. I have trying copying and pasting from the 3GS as it appears as a hard drive device on my laptop into a new folder, but it doesn't work. I have tryed to upload them via iTunes to no avail.
PLEASE HELP ME!!!
The only option I can think of is to email myself individually from my 3GS all of the videos one by one, and then save them when I open my email account on my laptop. This seems long, laborious and surely unnecessary....I can't believe there isn't an easier way and I'm just missing it!!
I have no wifi at home and am using my 3GS as a modem connected to my laptop to attempt all of this. I live in Spain and am using the company Movistar on a 500MB monthly plan. I think I am using iOS 4....but it could be iOS 4. (point) something.....I have not been able to upgrade to iOS5 due to lack of wifi connection as the update takes over an hour.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Coz

Here's Apple's support document on the subject:

You could also use third-party software, like this, to do so:

IPhoto does not import video from iPhone 4

We've been battling this problem for a while now. We have two iPhone 4's and any time we import photos to iPhoto, we have to select photos individually, making sure to NOT select any videos taken with the iPhone 4, in order to get them to import to iPhoto. If there is a video in the set, all photos after that are reported as unrecognized format and won't import. We can then select those photos that didn't import and reimport them and it works. Importing videos, either single videos or groups, or when mixed in with photos just doesn't work. Every time it fails with the unrecognized format error. We are able to import directly from a flip video camera, or if we first transfer the videos from the iphone to the hard drive using a different utility, but when we then import those files into iPhoto, they come in, but without the usual thumbnail image (they show up in the library as black).
This problem has been going on since iPhoto 09. We bought the 11 upgrade hoping it would fix this problem. It made it a little better (we used to not be able to import anything from the phones), but it still doesn't work for video. If it were just one of the phones I'd say it was the phone, but both phones have the problem. We've been seeing this problem for many months now.

Believe me, we've tried it all. Resetting, restarting, reinstalling, clearing preferences, caches, resetting databases, removing all photos off the iPhone and starting from zero. I've read probably 15 different threads on the subject and tried at least as many solutions. In a few instances the problem got better...for 1 sync. Then it cropped up again. I tried syncing to a fresh iPhoto database, and the problem came back for that one as well. I'm really hoping that Apple is working on a solution for this. We've put a lot of effort into our iPhoto archives and the main reason we bought the iPhone's was for the camera (even suffering through AT&T's questionable coverage for it). It doesn't seem like we are the only ones having this trouble.

How to transfer 1.7 GB video from iphone 3GS to pc

I have tried everything to import a 1.66 GB video from my iPhone to my PC running Windows XP. I have plenty of disk space.

The video plays on the iPhone, but the save to an external harddrive seems to time out. I tried the scanner and camera wizard but it just says error, try again, repeatedly. I copied a 30MB video, so I am thinking that the size is an issue and I don't know how to get around it. I tried opening the video in Quicktime but that failed too.
Thanks for responding!

Official way to transfer video from iPhone 3GS to PC??

Okay I've read multiple threads online about this and everyone provides 3rd-party application solutions where the applications cost $20 or more. I would imagine there is a simple solution to this problem considering there MUST be some integrated ability to remove videos off of the camera besides email (which doesn't even work if the video file is too large).
So, I can remove pictures from my camera because the auto-prompt allows me to use Windows XP to browse the pictures on my iPhone, but I cant get at the video. After syncing with iTunes or even without syncing, the iPhone doesn't show up in My Computer so I can't access the videos by browsing the contents of my iPhone either.
I'm looking for a simple solution or a FREE third party application that will get the job done. Any solutions?

Roaming Gnome has suggested that you use a Scanner & Camera wizard. I suspect this is because on a Mac iPhoto will import the photos and videos. So I can see his logic. {quote}
In Windows, the scanner/camera wizard searches for and installs items plugged in to USB ports which don't automatically install themselves.
{quote:title=gumsie wrote:}
That said I've noticed that when you sync with iTunes there is an option under the Photos tab to choose, +'Include Videos'.+ Not quite sure what to do with this yet. Will post back when I find out.{quote}
Nope. When I try to sync photos, it copies photos from my PC to my iPhone and puts them in a 'Photo Library', but does not copy anything from 'Camera Roll' to my PC.
