How can I access my iPhone 5 videos that I record?

I took a couple of videos, including one long video (about 30 minutes) to test the quality and it was wonderful! The problem is that I can't do anything with them. They are (obviously) too large to send to people via things like email. I tried connecting it to my computer via usb to put the files onto my computer (my preferred method of dealing with files) but the video files were not there at all.
From my computer, there was really only one available path of folders and it took me to my camera roll where I could transfer/copy/save all my photos to my pc (which is great because I have taken many nice pictures). The videos, which were also stored on my phones camera roll were not visible in the folder at all (though the folder properties indicated it was 5GB large as if to say it did have the videos).
So my question is basically: how can I access my videos (and ideally get them onto my computer)?
Other details: I do not own a Mac and my iPhone is my only Apple Product.

I Figured it out!!!!
My solution was to download the new iTunes and here is why I think it worked:
I tried to download the old iPhone explorer thing to search for the file and it required iTunes, which I didn't have. I was running Vista because I had to reset my pc to factory defaults (poor old PC haha. if only I had money for a new one). I don't like iTunes at all so I never bothered with it. Anyway, I started downloading the new version of iTunes (10.something) and about 1/8th of the way through the install, my pc started installing driver software on its own. It turned out it was installing drivers for my iPhone 5 (this occurred 1/8th of the way through right after iTunes installed some Apple components stuff for PCs) and this time, when I looked in the phone's folder for its data, my 30 minute video was there !!! So I think what was needed was a driver on my PC for my phone which for some reason didn't install until I got some Apple components (which was the first part of the iTunes install).
Thank goodness I don't need to touch iTunes and thank goodness it works! It is truly a wonderful phone and hopefully this will offer another solution to finding those pesky large video files (or large video file) that won't open up in the explorer.

    You need to restore iPhone with iTunes on computer. Open iTunes on computer, connect iPhone to computer, hold both home and power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Click Restore button of iTunes.

  • How can i access my home shared videos from my iPad2 if I now have iTunes match?

    how can i access my home shared videos from my iPad2 if I now have iTunes match?

    That's exactly what I meant, but for some reason Home Sharing stopped working on my iPad2 once I activated iTunes Match.
    Since then, I waited for iTunes Match to finish setting up and scanning my iTunes library on my MacBook Pro and I restarted my iPad2. Both Home Sharing and iTunes Match are now up and running smoothly!
    Thanks for the reply!

  • How can I text non iPhone users now that I have imessage?

    How can I text non iPhone users now that I have imessage?

    "Settings > Messages > Send as SMS = "On""
    That is only for sending SMS if the iMessage user is not available via wifi or data.
    If sending text to non-iphone user, that setting does nothing. 

  • How can I access my iPhone backup stored in iCloud?

    Hi,
    My iPhone was stolen a few months ago and I now have an Android phone. I have an iPad and it shows that my iPhone was backed up onto iCloud. How can I access this back up to retrieve my photos/notes etc?
    Thanks
    Jessica

    What content were you planning on deleting?
    Any data you sync with iCloud will be deleted from iCloud as soon as you delete it from any of your devices.  And if you delete the content from your device and continue backing up your device to iCloud, the new backup will overwrite the old one and it will no longer be stored in your backup either.
    In other words, you really should think of iCloud as a way to permanently store data so you can delete it from your devices and restore it again later.  iCloud is designed to keep the data on your devices consistent, and to back up the data on your device at the time of the backup.

  • How can i access my iphone when i forgot my password

    i need to access my phone its URGENT!!

    You can't access your iPhone if you forgot your passcode. That's the purpose of a passcode. It wouldn't provide very good security if it was easily bypassed.

  • How can I access an unsupported usb device that's seen by system profiler

    is there a way to access an unsupported usb device? my parents bought my daughter a cheap and easy to use digital camera and I am looking for a way to access the photos. the camera's manual mentions that there is no mac driver and there are no plans to develop one. I plug it in anyways in the event the system / Iphoto recognizes this, But I get nothing on the desktop as in a generic disk image icon. I open system profiler and My G4 knows the camera is plugged in. If this interface between the two is recognized how can I access the camera?
    does a driver have to be written to allow access? I saw a usb dev kit on version tracker but I have no clue as to how to write a driver. I could get a flash card reader but I was hoping that there may be some back door or an app somewhere to allow me to get the photos off the camera.
    thanks!!!

    Hi, Israel.
    You wrote: " I plug it in anyways in the event the system / Iphoto recognizes this"See if Image Capture recognizes the camera. Launch Image Capture, which is in the Macintosh HD > Applications folder.
    Otherwise, you're probably going to have to go the route of using a card reader. While the connection may be USB, they may be using some non-standard implementation that requires a driver.
    Writing drivers is not something you'd want to even attempt since you didn't create the hardware!
    Good luck!

    my grandson forgot his passcode and doesn't want to loose what he has on it, how can we get into the phone

    You don't if you forget. That's what passcode is for to protect without the correct passcode.

  • How can I burn my iPhone home videos to a DVD to play on a TV?

    The video files are on a Windows PC. I also have an iPad, but the videos are on the PC with the DVD burner on it. I can burn a DVD, but it won't play on a TV in the DVD player.

    Here's one way:

  • How can I access my iPhone text messages on my iPad?

    My friends use their iPads to receive their text messages from their iPhones. I have an iPhone 5 and would like to be able to access them too.

    The only way to access messages on your iPad is if the sender is also using iMessage. So your friends aren't receiving typical SMS text message on their iPads, but rather iMessage messages. The easiest way to tell these apart is that SMS messages will appear green and iMessages will appear blue in your conversation thread.
    To enable messages on your iPad, go to settings and scroll down to "iMessage"  to sign into your account and get it all setup
