How do I find videos taking up space on iPhone5?

My storage bar shows that I have over 2 GB in videos taking up space on my iPhone5. When I hover over the video part, it tells me how much is taken up and that there are "14 items" of video on my iPhone.
However, I have no videos showing when I open the Video app, I have no videos checked in iTunesU, Podcasts or TV shows to sync. I mostly have a couple of audio podcasts syncing and a bunch of music and audiobooks.
I don't believe I've ever used my camera for video, and looking through my camera roll, I don't see anything that might indicate that anything is a video.
Scrolling through what's "On This iPhone" shows only audio files except where some labels for a file kind runs off the field and I can't widen the field to see what they say beyond "Protected AAC..."
One unusual thing is that when I do check "Sync Podcasts", the space usage shoots way up by several GB, even if there are no Podcasts checked to sync. If I do check some podcasts, their space usage is added to the overshoot
How can I track down what these 14 video files are?

Hi Gibby,
How much free space is on the HD, where has all the space gone?
OmniDiskSweeper is likely the easiest/best, and is now free...

And if needed, you can use Terminal to run it in admin mode to see files/folders your user can't see...

How can i find videos sorted by resolution?

Hi,
I am trying to find videos in a certain resolution, eg. HD, 1028p, 720p, DVD, 640x480
Is there a program, a finder script or anything else which could help we with that?
Thanks in advace –

If the device is not connected to WiFi, you can't find it. If it is, go to your iCloud.com account on a computer or use the Find My iPhone app on any iOS device and log in and look for it.
You have to be signed in to find your own devices.

Trimmed video taking more space!!!!?!!

I Have a 16GB iPhone 6 & it was pretty full earlier this week so I decided to do my regular "i need room to update" routine & began deleting stuff which is hard because it's all stuff like pictures I really liked and apps I truly use (but get back after I get the update so it's okay). Anyways so I decided since I can't delete any videos I'll trim some and save them as the original to get rid of space but apparently that takes up a TON of space!!!! So now my phone doesnt have any space and I'm just angry and I want to know why it does that/can I fix it?? ..I'm so close to going back to android over this
& let's not forget the 1000+ pics & 40+ vids I don't actually have on my phone that it says I do (no changing the date does NOT work)

Hey johnboy813,
Thanks for the question. Your issue is similar to the symptoms outlined in the following resource. The troubleshooting steps may provide a solution:

HT201317 how do i find video on icloud device?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
What do you mean 'on iCloud' are they in photostream or part of a backup.

How to fix photos from taking up space when there are no photos

So I have an Iphone 6 16g. It says storage full and my photos are taking up the most space with 2.4gb. The thing is I have around 7 photos on my phone. I am not sure what the problem is. Could the photos be from an old iphone through icloud or something? Not sure.

With CS5 and above, there are two main avenues of decreasing export times. One, get a faster CPU. Two, get an nVidia graphics card with CUDA capabilities.
Note that the first will speed up all exports, while the second will only speed up exporting under certain conditions.

Thanks!

Assuming you are using iTunes 11.1:
Connect your iPhone to your computer.
In iTunes towards the upper right of your screen you will see the name of your iPhone. Click on it (not the eject symbol.
This will open a series of windows with tabs.
Select the tab for photos.
Untick the ones you do not want on your iPhone and at the bottom right click on Apply.
They will be removed.

How do I find what is taking up all the space in my iMovie library?

If I find the my iMovie library in Finder, it's total size is a reported 15.59GB and, as far as I can tell, I cannot open it in Finder to see what files are taking up that space.
If I look at my iMovie library in iMovie, it apparently contains one event, which contains one movie.
If I select the move as then go to File -> Reveal in Finder, I can see all the folders and files associated with the event and they come to a grand total of 5.95 GB.
So, how do I find out what movies, clips or projects are taking up the other ~ 10GB in the iMovie library folder?
I'm using iMovie 10.0.5

When I did that, I could still only see the same contents as shown in the third screenshot above. However, minutes after doing the "Show package contents", iMovie seems to have figured out that it didn't have 15GB of data in its library after all and updated its size accordingly. So, problem solved for now but I still find iMovie to be painful to use and I will probably avoid doing so as much as I can.

How do I find out how much space OSX and applications are taking up on my HDD?

I am thinking of moving my OS and all applications to a SSD to free up space on my MBP.
My question is how do I find out how much space OSX and installed applications are taking up on my HDD so I know how big the SSD needs to be? Also, what is the best way to move these files across to the new SSD once installed?
Many thanks,
Andrew.

If you do command-click or right click on your hard drive and select get info, it will tell you how full the HD is.
there are some apps that can show you exactly how big particular apps are

I replaced my internal drive with a SSD for performance reasons a few months ago. There are a number of ways to move your files over to the new SSD. I am a fan of the clean install, which might take a bit more time and effort but results in a very fast and trouble free mac. An easy way to do this if you are replacing your internal drive is to put the old drive in an external drive enclosure. Then you install the new SSD and install mavericks on it. In my case I used Diskmaker X to make a Mavericks installer (DiskMaker X (formerly Lion DiskMaker) . Then you can reinstall your apps from scratch, and finally move your documents over from the external drive.

Phone states 'OTHER' storage is taking up most of the space on her iphone 4, how do i find it to make more space?

Ok this may be a simple fix but I cant figure it out. I am trying to give my wife more room on her phone to take photos of our new baby, so I synced her phone to iTunes it shows the bar of whats taking up space on it, and 3/4ths of the phone space is categorized as 'other' but when you look at what is on the phone there is almost nothing on it, 30 songs no video or tv or books a few small apps, but nothing that would take up 3/4ths of the phones memory, its an 8 gb iPhone 4, how do i get this 'other' crap off the phone! HELP!

Try to restore the iPhone from iTunes.

How can i remove videos and music that are not on my ipad mini but are still taking up space and are showing that they are there even after i've deleted them?

how can i remove videos and music that have been deleted from the ipad but are still showing in settings as still being on the ipad?

I believe that I have the same issue with iPad Mini with Retina Display, iOS 8.1. No matter which way I delete videos from my iPad, they will still show as "deleted", yet the space is not cleared up. I tried restore and then a full restore (clean setup as a new iPad) and it still does this to me. I can solve it by doing a restore each and every time I download a video and delete it. Rather frustrating. Has been a problem since day 1 of iOS 8. I'm yet to try the power+home button reset. It may very well work, but I am surprised that a "fresh setup" of an iPad didn't resolve it from ever occurring.
