How do I upload / sync movie from iPhoto to iPhone in Photos folder

I shot a short clip from my digital camera and want to share it with family through Whatsapp on my iPhone 3GS.
I downloaded the movie (.AVI extension) to iPhoto on my Macbook Pro, saved a copy on the Desktop; and using Quicktime's export feature, was able to transfer a .m4v version of the video on the 'Videos' folder of iOS. However, since Whatsapp picks up content only from the 'Photos' app, I was looking for a mechanism through which the video (preferably .AVI format) can be transfered to the 'Photos' app.
Additionally, I created a separate album on iPhoto containing just this clip. Next I tried to sync this album to my iPhone with the 'include videos' checkbox ticked, but it does not copy the video to Photos on iPhone (tried doing the same with some photos and it is working just fine).
Request if someone can provide an easy solution for this.
Regards,
Prashrash.
P.S.: Since I am a newbie, apologize in advance for any forum rules that I might have broken. Happy to be corrected / informed on the same.
BTW, have done a basic search on the articles existing in the forums to try and find an answer before posting my question. Mostly have seen many nays on older / archived posts, and hence am posting afresh once again in the hope that with the newer versions of iPhoto / iTunes, something has hopefully changed that will make my task easy! <fingers crossed>

Hello prashrash
Because when you sync a video that you have converted, it will want to go in the Videos app. A way to get around that is to email the video to yourself if the video size is small enough to send through email. Once you have received it you should be able to save it to your Camera Roll and then be able to access like you normally would.
Save a photo or video you received in Mail.

  • Can't sync movie from iPhoto to iPhone

    I tried to find a discussion of this, but couldn't see an answer. (Maybe there isn't one.)
    I have some AVI movies in iPhoto. I'd like to sync them to my iPhone. I think I did so many months ago, but can't replicate now.
    I tried dragging from iPhoto to iTunes. No luck. I tried dragging to "movies': no luck. I tried exporting from iPhoto: it seemed to work, but couldn't find the movie on iTunes.

    I think the movies have to be able to play in iTunes before you can view them on an iPhone.
    AVI is just a "wrapper" that can contain movies with many different codecs. Not all of them are viewable in iTunes. Many of the AVI's that I get can't play in Quicktime and I use VLC and I've added Perian and Flip4Mac to be able to play them at all. These codecs aren't available on the iPhone so the movies have to be in just the right format to work.
    There are many programs (looks like dozens) that can convert AVI's to be playable in iTunes. There are companies like Aimersoft, Xilisoft that sell programs that will do all sorts of conversions and optimizations for iPod/iPhone video.
    Here's a tutorial that uses Free methods: http://news.metaparadigma.de/?p=48
    Handbrake (free) is also supposed to be good for the job, but I don't use it anymore: http://handbrake.fr/
    Hope this helps.

    How do you access it?
    If it is a web based system and you access via a web browser then you access your iPhoto photos the same way you always do for any program other than iPhoto - using the media browser in the lower left hand corner of the upload/open/attach window

  • Video syncing errors from iPhoto to iPhone via iTunes

    I recently took 50 or so video or pictures on my iPhone 5 while on vacation. Once home, I synced them into iPhoto like I always do, and deleted the files after import. I then synced my phone with iTunes, where (in the photos section) I choose to sync all events from the past 12 months, with the 'Include Videos' checkbox checked. This is how I've done things up to now, and its always worked.
    However, this time, two of the videos will not sync back to my phone. I get an iTunes error saying that they are not in the correct format. This is bizarre, since several videos taken before, between, and after them sync fine. The 2 videos are not exceptionally long or short compared to others that sync successfully.
    Has anyone seen a trick or workaround to make iTunes sync these videos?

    Thanks again TD
    I will check on the formating when I get home, I am pretty sure that I haven't used any no-ascii characters, but will double check.
    Before I download iphoto library manager, I just wanted to report an interesting experiment that I tried last night that may point in a different direction:
    I keep my iphoto library on a second internal HD, so I thought I would just try making a complete copy of my iphoto library onto my desktop. Once I did this, I started up iPhoto with alt and choose the desktop version of the library and all worked perfectly, my iphoto albums showed instantly in my photo tab in itunes when I selected to sync with iphoto.
    My next move was to rename my old library and then copy my desktop version into the folder where the old library is. Once I did this the problem was back again.
    I have no reason to believe that it is the second disc that is causing the problem, as that is where I have always kept my itunes and iphoto libraries and they have worked without problem.
    (As I am writing this, it dawned upon me that I missed one important test, I should have tried the old library after I had renamed it, but stil in the same place.)
    I am now suspecting that the problem may be linked to an external drive that I addded to the system at Christmas. This was a WD My Book which I use for backup, the link being that I use the software that came with it to do autobackups that includes my iphoto library folder. I am wondering if this software does something to the folder.
    Thoughts welcome.

  • My computer crashed at the same time I switched to the 4s. how do I upload my stuff from my old Iphone to Itunes?

    What are the odds,my computer crashed at the same I switched to the 4s. I had to download and start all over with Itunes. My question is how do I upload from my old Iphone into Itunes so I can get my music off the old phone?

    Iphone is not a backup device.
    The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases:  Without syncing: File>Transfer Purcahses
    Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to the new one.

  • Syncing albums from iPhoto to iPhone doesn't get complete albums

    I am trying to sync an albums from iPhoto on a Macbook Pro to an iPhone 4 and I'm running into a problem where some albums are only partially transferred to the iPhone. Eg, there's an album in iPhoto that contains 9 images, and iTunes shows me that count, but when I (directly through USB cable) hook up the iPhone and sync, only one of them appears in the corresponding album on the iPhone. I think I understand the procedure, and I've pulled the images out of the Photostream to build the album, but can anyone think of why on some albums but not all, not all images in the iPhoto version of the album get transferred?

    I do know there are different types of jpegs, exactly how or if that affects whether you can use them with a mobile I'm not sure. Use iPhoto to see if you can see some obvious differences between the photos.
    All the photos are selected for sharing from the advanced menu I presume.

  • How can I upload .pdf file from Mac to iPhone or is there an app for that?

    How can I upload a .pdf file from my mac to iPhone 3G?
    Or is there an app that will allow me to that?
    Thanks in advance
    Zia

    The app called "Air Sharing" allows you to do that. Connect to a wifi network, run the program and you can mount your iphone as a drive using Finder. Upload all the PDFs you like, and you can open them from within the Air Sharing app. Also, you can view most image files, most office files, etc.

  • Why cannot iTunes sync movies from iPhoto taken with iPhone

    I take little movies with iPhone. (5Mb)
    iPhoto copies then to the Mac with the Photos.
    Movie plays in iPhoto.
    In iTunes I say Sync event and tick include videos on. The movies are not copied back to the iPhone.
    Checked in iPhoto, event says 18 items (17 are photos one is the movie MOV04391.MPG)
    In iTunes > Photos tab. the event only shows 17 items.
    Thanks in anticipation...

    Try launching iPhoto while holding Option, to create an alternate iPhoto library that you can test with. You can always switch back to the original iPhoto library launching iPhoto while holding Option again.
    If it works in the new test library, you'll probably want to switch back to the main library and then rebuild it by holding down the Command and Option keys when launching iPhoto.
    Also, when you email photos from the iPhone you should see an option to email as actual size, along with the compressed options.
    WTH.

  • Can't sync videos from iPhoto to iPhone

    My pictures sync fine, but can't get the videos I shot with my camera to sync to my iPhone. Size-wise, they are within the limits allowed. Any suggestions?

    iPhoto should import them just fine. Have you tried repairing permissions on your Macbook, then re-booting & see if iPhoto will see & import them.
