How do I retrieve videos shot on my iPhone4 lost after a synch to PC?

I have lost videos shot on a European trip on my wife's iPhone4 after a synch to her PC laptop running Windows Vista.  With this setup, when I synch the iPhone it downloads photos shot on phone to Adobe Photoshop Elements v5.0.  Photos appear in a new folder by date, no problem.  BUT, the videos that were shot on the iPhone do not appear in the Adobe program.  After synch, photos are left on the phone.  But the videos shot on our trip appear to be gone! 
I synched again with iPhone, and still cannot find them.  I can't find them in iTunes, or in a folder on the PC.  Now I look in Apple Support info, and find that iTunes only keeps ONE backup of iPhone, and fear that I cannot get the videos back from the first synch.  Any ideas on where I might retrieve them?? 
Also have an iPhone 3GS which I synch to my Mac (no problems there-I don't shoot videos). Have upgraded both iPhones to latest software/firmware, and am using latest version of iTunes.  Only software that is legacy is the PC version of Adobe Photoshop Elements (v5.0).  Later synched her iPhone4 to my Mac (see below) and still cannot find the missing videos from the iPhone.  These are videos she shot in several European countries, and are irreplaceable.  Please help me salvage her videos so we can celebrate our 26th Anniversary next month (she is not very happy right now)!

Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are not synced. Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are not touched with the iTunes sync process. Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can be imported by your computer which is not handled by iTunes. Most importing software includes an option to delete the photos/videos from the Camera Roll after the import process is complete. If is my understanding that some Windows import software supports importing photos from the Camera Roll, but not videos. Regardless, the import software should not delete the photos/videos from the Camera Roll unless you set the app to do so.
Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are included with your iPhone's backup. If you synced your iPhone with iTunes before the videos on the Camera Roll went missing and you haven't synced your iPhone with iTunes since they went missing, you can try restoring the iPhone with iTunes from the iPhone's backup. Don't sync the iPhone with iTunes again and decline the prompt to update the iPhone's backup after selecting Restore.

  • How can I retrieve videos which didn't transfer successfully to my Mac?

    I regularly download my photos and videos from my iPhone to Aperture for storage.
    In my latest download approximately 100 videos and photos did not download successfully - I get a message "unsupported image format".
    They were deleted from my phone as the message stated they had downloaded successfully (which they hadn't).
    I can retrieve the photos via my Photo Stream but how can I retrieve the lost videos?
    Thank you

    I hope, randers4 has more ideas.  You could try, if a different video application can play or at least open your videos.
    Download QuickTime player 7. It can frequently open videos that the newer QuickTime Player cannot play.
    (download here:  QuickTime Player 7 for Mac OS X v10.6.3 or later.)
    If your video opens in QuickTime 7 check the codecs and resource fork in the View > Show Movie Properties. This panel will show you, if your .mov files are empty QuickTime wrappers with a missing resource fork, or if a video is embedded and what the codec of the video is.
    If the wrappers are empty, I'm afraid, your videos are lost. Is the file size large enough of the revealed "2014-08-25 at 16-42-55.MOV" o contain a video file?

  • How do I retrieve bookmarks and Add Ons for Mozilla after it was unintentionally UNINSTALLED and Re-Installed? No bookmarks were backed up anywhere on the computer.

    Someone inadvertently uninstalled Mozilla on my machine [Windows 7 op]. I had to do a new installation just now. I haven't opened or saved other files yet. HOW can I retrieve the old information from the UNinstalled Mozilla to add to the newly installed Mozilla? Please help. I have several hundred bookmarks and a few favorite add-ons missing. I hope they were not completely wiped during the uninstall - but only your programmers know how the UN-install function works and whether or not residual files are left on the computer.
    Thank you.

  • How do I transfer video shot on my iPhone 5s to iMac

    Hi all,
    Yes, I can see this was asked and answered but I cannot get there. For some reason, the support site is so slow and the linked to that question asked last year will not appear.
    So -- I just bought an iphone 5s. Just shot a quick video and wanted to move it off the phone to my imac. (Would like to keep space freed up since I bought the 16GB version.)
    Will need to move photos off as well.
    I did USB the phone to my iMac. Then I opened iTunes manually (it isn't opening automatically). I believe what I'm supposed to be able to do is drag stuff off my phone into iTunes--then onto Mac???
    But cannot see any photos or the video I shot on the iPhone.
    Any help is greatly appreciated. This is frustrating.

    Photos and videos are not improted into iTunes - they go to iPhoto:  See this:

  • How do I get video shot by someone else on my Mac to edit it Final Cut?

    I've just purchased Final Cut Express. I have been working in iMovie. I am hosting a birthday party and hiring a videographer to do the filming. I want to do the editing in Final Cut Express.
    What is the best way to get the video onto my iMac? I would like to give the videographer an external hard drive to put the video on, but I don't know what to tell him as far as the format. I believe he will have to first put the video on some computer (his) and then move or copy it to my external drive. Right? What should I tell him as far as format? He's saying either AVI or MPG. Is that right? If yes, which is better. If no, what should I tell him?

    Here's the answer, although based on what your videographer suggested, he may not like it.
    But, you are the customer ...
    If he shoots regular 4:3 aspect ratio standard def DV video, he should deliver it to you as QuickTime/DV-NTSC video files (.mov files, not .dv files).
    If he shoots highdef, it should be either +1080i60 or 720p30+ delivered as +QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec+ video files (.mov files, and note the codec required).
    (ps. the hard drive must be formatted as Mac OS Extended)
    If he can do this, when you get your hard drive back you should be able to import the video right into FCE (of course, using the appropriate FCE Easy Setup).

  • Pixelated images while playing back a video shot on my iPhone4s

    Shot a video of my kid playing soccer and when watching on playback mode on either iphoto or imovie it comes out all pixelated images...

    The size of the hard drive that the OS resides upon is not of concern as long as it has enough space for you operating system, the applications and a swap file.
    The reason you NEED to keep you media files on a second drive is that it is TOO MUCH to ask of one drive to deal with all the system level read/writes AND to also seek, find and play all your audio AND video AND renders AND graphics and who knows what else you've got going.
    to get the best possible playback.
    1. Run Diskwarrior and Disk Utilities to make sure the files/directories are clean.
    2 Disconect the system from any network.
    3. Turn off any screen, power, disk power savers
    4.Make the file self-contained
    5. Have ONLY the external drive that the media resides upon connected through the firewire bus.
    6.Shut down and reboot the machine before you start.
    7. Pray.

  • How to add a video into a song(iphone4)

    I have recently bought an album and the music isn't a music video so i want to add a video to the song, how do i do that.

    Hello Coalnic,
    It sounds like you are wanting to add video to your mp3 files. You can use iMovie on your phone to create a new project and add your video and audio to it, then export your project to the camera roll.

  • HT4589 How do I move video clip clip up or down after setting letterbox, i used to be able to do this until i upgraded to 10.0.6

    I used to be able to manually move my video clip up and down in the event the browser using one of the settings. It was a vertical settings that i would use to pull a video clip down after i applied a letterbox to the clip, so I could see the top of the the video clip that got blocked out by the letterbox. Still looking no luck....I used to be able to do this just upgraded to FCPX 10.0.6 now i dont have the setting..

    think i might have solved my own problem the feature is not there i have to upgrade again to 10.0.7...this is getting annoying...

  • How do I retrieve apps and books that were lost in recent software update for my iPad?

    Is it possible to retrieve lost apps and books in recent software update?

    Yes it should be possible deppending on your  version of ios on your ipad. In the app store you can go to "purchased" and download any apps you've previously purchased. I'm not sure if this will also work for books or not. Also, if you haved synced your ipad to your computer, itunes will have all your data (books, apps, music etc...) and you can load it all back up.

  • How can I retrieve texts and photos from a lost iPhone without backup?

    I recently lost my iPhone at a concert and unfortunately, it was never connected with iCloud, nor was it backed up to iTunes. I got a new iPhone and connected it to iTunes. I have my contacts (taken from my sister's iPhone) and voicemails, but nothing else. I would really like my old text messages and photos, but have no idea what to do in order to get them. Please help! And like I said, backing up will not work, and I tried to use iphonebackupextractor.com also.

    Let me get this straight.....You lost your phone.  You never backed it up, either to your computer or to a cloud service.
    How in the world would you expect to get data back?
