How do I download videos from iPhone 4s to my iMac hard drive?

Great lens on 4s but this is my first iPhone, and when I plug it in to iMac it does not recognize it as a separate device, which is what happens when I connect a camera. So how do I get video/photos downloaded so i can edit in imovie etc ...  and also (reverse question) how do I upload address book to the iPhone. ITunes recognizes device and I can transfer music/podcasts to phone ....  iPhone btw is IOS 5.0.1 if that matters.
All advice greatly appreciated.

Never mind ... just opened up iPhoto and they were already sitting there, waiting to be downloaded.... so simple I didn't know.....

  • How to sync music/videos from iphone to computer - lost ext hard drive

    I recently lost my external hard drive where I was storing all my music, videos and photos.  Long story, but the backup was not occurring.  I have precious video and music on my iphone (some original, not purchased) that I don't have the data for, but the iTunes libraries are still intact.  But the libraries are pointing to a drive that doesn't exist.  I have purchased a new hard drive that has the same drive letter as the original one.  Will iTunes create a new folder and sync my music and videos to the same place, or do I need to recreate exactly the same path?  Also, if something like this will work, will it sync, bringing the files from the iPhone to the new external hard drive? Please, can anyone help?

    Thanks for your reply, KiltedTim!  After reading on some additional resource sites and evaluating suggestions and reviews, I did try a 3rd party software which worked beautifully!   The software allows the user to store the data into different folders by content type, including subfolders, too.  I completely understand Apple's theology to make the sync a one way deal for copyrighted content, but when the unthinkable happens, it sure is nice to at least have an option to preserve anything personal and legal that you have on your iPhone that you lost on your hard drive, mainly music, videos, voice memos, text messages and notes.  I am completely respectul of the protection of copyrighted music...I am just very glad that the people that created the software "had my back" this time for my precious family memories and the time saved trying to reimport all my music CD's!

    If so, you import the videos from the Camera Roll with iPhoto or with the Image Capture application. iPhoto is available to select photos and videos from with iMovie.

  • All of my music was on a hard drive that failed. How do I download them from iTunes match to my new hard drive?

    All of my music was on a hard drive that failed. How do I download them from iTunes match to my new hard drive? I know how to do it one song at a time, but I want to know if there is a way to do it for all 10,000 song files at once?

    There are some recovery programs out there if you google them - many with free trials. I haven't tried them so I have no opinion.Read any professional tech and user reviews you can find before you try one. I have read here in the past that some have worked for people who have posted here. 
    To help in the future, have you considered using Jump Desktop - Remote Desktop? I know it won't solve the problem you're dealing with now (unless notes were taken on your computer.) It's in the app store. It's the #1 paid app in the business category and the reviews are great. It allows you to see anything that's on your computer on your ipad. If you take your notes on your ipad then you might want to email them to yourself, put them on Word in your computer, for example, and then if you need them in class, you remotely connect your ipad to your computer and you will see your notes. This way you won't have to rely so much on the cloud. The explanation would be too long here, but you might want to take a look at it. You can use the free trial on jumpdesk.com and then if it works for you, buy it in the app store. 
    Meanwhile, it's hours since you sent this post. Hopefully others who can help solve your problem who are on this forum now can help you. I hope you get your notes back. Don't give up too quickly.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I download video from a camcorder to an imac?

    I have a Canon Elura 65 camcorder that takes digital video and an imac OS X 10.6.7, and I want to download video that I've taken into imovie (not HD). However, I've connected the camcorder to the imac via usb cord, and the imac didn't register the camcorder. Then, I took out the memory card from the camcorder and inserted it into the imac slot; this one did register, but when I went into the card, it didn't have any of my video, only transitions and such, and one random video clip that I don't recognize. i really want portable versions of these videos; what now?

    You could try Image Capture to find your device without removing the card:
    With Image Capture you can set the default app to download; select the destination; choose to delete after import; import some or all and so on.

  • How do I download files from websites directly into my external hard drive without them saving into my internal hard drive?

    I am a DJ and I download a lot of music from websites. My internal hard drive's space is almost full which in turn makes my macbook really slow. I bought an external hard drive to download everything onto it instead but it still downloads onto my internal hard drive. Please help me

    Assuming you're using Safari, the default download folder is specified in Safari>Preferences>General. Go there and you'll see where Downloads is currently selected. Click on that, select Other, navigate to the directory you want to use and click Select.

  • How do you download images from a web server to your hard drive using java?

    Can anyone help me with this? The only methods that i have found that are remotely useful are getContent() andgetContentType().
    But all the code I've fouund and studied doesnt say anyone about downloading images. What do I need to be looking for to acheive this?

    You have a URLConnection to the img URL right?
    Open that connection's input stream (URLConnection.getInputStream or something like that, look it up in the Javadoc API: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/)
    Once you have that stream, you can read its bytes to your heart's content, and write them to a file as you wish.

    I use my iphone 5 to record home videos. I have an apple tv but dvd burners dont have a hdmi plug in. Any suggestions on how i can burn videos from iphone 5?
    I had a av cord that plugged into the iPhone 3gs and iPad 2 but its not compatible with the 5 connector. Right now i have to email myself the videos in small segments and open and save on the iPad 2 to burn them.  Is there an easier way to burn these from my iPhone 5 or through air play on apple tv?
    Thanks

    Connect the phone by USB to the computer, import with image capture, iPhoto or whatever application you use to import movies, drop it into iTunes.
