How to copy my home video to my PC? Or iTunes even?

Hello,
Very simple; I have my brand new, awesome, battery life sucking iPhone 4S. I upgraded from a iPhone 3G and was super excited because now, I can shoot videos in 1080p @ 30 fps no less. Before, on my 3G, I used an app(iCamcorder) that "hacked" the photo camera as a video cam, in 320 @ 15 fps. It was bad quality, but better than nothing and I could record with sound. Happy I had it when I needed it. Thank you iCamcorder.
All I needed to do to save my videos, was to open (in windows explorer) the iPhone 3G device's folder that was recongnized as a Digital Camera. All the pictures and video in my iPhone 3G's camera roll were there, a simple select all + drag & drop to any folder did the trick.
Now I'm trying to do the same with my shiny new iPhone 4S, I see the photo I took with my iPhone, but no video files.
I verify in iTunes, under the iPhone's panel, in the movie folder, nothing. I setup a folder with a few pictures that I then choose as the picture folder to sync with in the "Photos" tab in iTunes, clic apply, nothing. Clic sync, nothing. So am I stuck watching my sooper dooper 1080 Progressive High Definition videos on my 3.5 inch screen?
Please oh please, Apple fans & professionals & experts or whatever, tell me I'm doing something wrong so I wont feel like I just wasted 700$...
Thanks...

Yes... I know.
I deserve your silence as I should've RTFM.
Indeed, I have checked other threads on the same subject after posting. Followed the link to the manual provided by high level users and all was revealed. It was also very obvious.
Here's an excerpt of the manual, could help lots of PC users out there...
page 78, chapter twelve - Uploading photos and videos to your computer:
Upload photos and videos to your computer:
Connect iPhone to your computer using the Dock Connector to USB Cable.
Mac: Select the photos and videos you want, then click the Import or Download button in iPhoto or other supported photo application on your computer.
PC:Follow the instructions that came with your photo application.
After reading through the set of instructions for the PC, several times... I realized that I already did the very technicaly complex steps suggested. With no success.
So I checked in my AutoPlay settings to see if something was up... Strangely, even if I had access to the iPhone's folder in Windoze Explorer, the device was not recongnized like my old trusted iPhone 3G in the AutoPlay settings.
I went into iTunes, unchecked the option of launching iTunes when the device is connected, applied the change, closed iTunes and unplugged the iPhone.
Back in AutoPlay settings...I simply unchecked the "Use AutoPlay for all media and devices", saved, plugged the iPhone, went back in AutoPlay settings, re-checked the box and the iPhone 4S was there.
I gave it a "Always Ask" command, saved again and yes, it works.
I now have access to my awesome HD videos.
I'm not 100% sure that this is why it works, maybe it was because iTunes prevented Windows to recongnize the device, or maybe Windows AutoPlay is crap... But yeah. Whatever, works.
Lesson learned, always read the manual, even if there's nothing in it, it might give you an idea.
Now, let's go back to reading through thousands of threads about OS 5.0.1 draining the battery even faster than before. But thats another story.
Cheers people.

How do I move home videos from my computer to itunes?

When I load photos & videos from my iphone, the pics and videos are saved to my computer. When I use Apple TV, I can see the photos, but not the videos. Do I need to "move" them into itunes?

Here's a good tutorial:

How do I get home video clips from iMovie Mac to iMovie iPad? Surely there is some degree of cross-compatibility? I have a load of clips in iMovie on my MBP that I wanna download to my iPad2 so that I can edit movies on the move. Any ideas?

How do I get home video clips from iMovie Mac to iMovie iPad? Surely there is some degree of cross-compatibility? I have a load of clips in iMovie on my MBP that I wanna download to my iPad2 so that I can edit movies on the move. Any ideas? (The clips are in a .mov format, they have been imported / converted into this format in iMovie, original files were from a JVC camcorder in some other strange format.)

I copied the iTunes file from the external drive and it's in both places. I thought all I would need is the iTunes program (which I downloaded to new computer) and my iTunes library file. There must be something else that's missing. My iTunes library looks the same on the new computer as it does when I open it on the external drive. If I click on an iTunes library song from my new computer, it will only play if I have the external drive plugged in.
My back-up drive is a mess. I have multiple copies of music, video, photo, and document files and I don't know how that happened. ={ Obviously, I don't know how to back up stuff properly and there are back-up files extending over a 6- to 8-year period. I think all I did was just drag and drop the main folders from the back-up drive to the same main folders on the C: drive. Also (and I'm kind of fuzzy on this) Windows used to automatically save music files in a folder within my document files (which makes no sense to me). As my Jewish friends would say, "Oy Vey!"

How do u share home videos with relatives on itunes?

How do u share home videos with relatives on itunes? My son moved but still has itunes account on home computer. can the home videos be moved or placed into his Itune acct, and then viewed?

No, use an online storage facility such as dropbox which will allow you to share content with each other.

How can I organize home videos and photos in ipad

I don't have a mac or pc, just the new ipad. I'm planning to buy a camera card reader adapter so I can load my photos and videos directly from my camera card to my ipad. But then how do I organize my home videos and photos in my ipad into albums?
I saw the photo folder app does essentially what I want but does it treat videos the same as photos? I didn't see anything about it being able to organize videos.

See the follwoing and the links in the following:
iTunes: Frequently asked questions about viewing and syncing videos
Yuo will likely need a computer app to convert the format to one compatible with the iPad. I use the Free HandBrake app. It has an iPad preset.

How Do I Get Home Videos into iTunes?

I have 6 home videos that I want to put into iTunes....both the iTunes library on the hard drive and the iTunes app. I had them in there but for some reason they got mixed up and I deleted them. I have the copies so how do I get them into the iTunes library on my hard drive and into the itunes app so I can look at them.
It is such a mess and I'm trying to make my question as simple as possible. Here is one thing that happens...when I tried to put the videos into iTunes they went into a folder called Home Videos. But there is no folder on iTunes called Home Videos....it is called Movies which is where the videos were before. There is no place for me to access a folder called Home Videos because there isn't one. And, If I access the old Movie Folder it is empty. The Movie folder is permanent....put there by iTunes so I can't delete it and add add one called Home Videos.
Can anyone straighten out this mess? The only good news is that I still have copies of the home videos...they were not deleted.

Drag them into the library folder.

How can I watch home videos on Apple TV without using home streaming?

I have an ATV3 and want to watch a few home videos using it. I have successfully converted the files to .mp4 format using videora apple tv converter. The problem I have is that these videos do not show up on my apple tv unless I use home sharing with my laptop. Is there a way to add these videos to my apple tv library without having to use home sharing? I have my files on a laptop and the computer is not always on or awake, and I find it really inconvenient to have to get my lazy butt off the couch when wanting to watch my home videos just to go and turn on my computer. I know that I can set the computer to wake when the network is trying to use it, but that would mean I would always have to have my power adapter connected to my laptop and I really do not want to do this because it will kill the battery. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

How to copy photos or videos from album in iPad to Window7 based PC?

I have created Album on iPad however, I am unable to copy the photos / videos there in to my windows 7 based PC.
1. All standard help copes photos or videos only from Camera roll.
2. From iTunes, I do not see any option to sync from iPad to my pc, but it is always from PC to iPad.
Any help please?

You cannot copy those albums and photos to your PC. Those albums do not contain copies of your photos, but merely pointers to the photos that are in the camera roll. Since they don't really exist in the photos app albums, there is no way to copy them to the PC.

How do i transfer home video to ipad. for video or is it purely clips

Is there any storage capacity for video or is it purely clips.
My camera is a Sony DCR-SR37 HDD

If you convert video to an iPad playable format, you can put whatever home videos you want on it.
Handbrake is a good video converter that will convert movies to iPad playable format.

How do you import music videos from a dvd into iTunes?

I have got a music cd and includs a music dvd. I want the music videos to be imported into iTunes so I can watch them on my iPod touch. How do I do this?

I had a friend who got a dual-format music album on DVD of the band Chicago for his birthday. He didn't have a system that could play the remixed 5.1 surround sound version on the DVD, but he could play it back in his Mac OS X on the DVD player in good old stereo. However, he wanted a copy he could play in his car CD player.
So I used Audio Hijack to record the output of the DVD played back as stereo through the Apple DVD player in Mac OS X. I had Audio Hijacj write the output to the hard drive as AIFF 16-bit 44.1KHz stereo. Then I used iTunes to burn it to a CD.
Of course it took 45 minutes to make a recording from a 45-minute audio program; it happened in real-time.
(This was all perfectly legal because he owns the DVD and he's using the CD recording as a backup audio copy for his own personal use--basically like ripping a CD you own for use in your iPod).
I did an a/b comparison between the original DVD and the AIFF recording I had generated, and I was pleasantly surprised by its good quality.
Since then I've been an Audio Hijack fan.

This fixes the problem. From my experience so far you do not have to reboot your mac.
