How to sync video to iPhone

I have a video with extension .m4v which does not sync with my iphone. These are the properties of the video
MPEG-4 video file
128kbps
Low Complexity
Stereo
1572 kbps
480x360
H.264
I also have the same file in quicktime movie format. Even that file does not sync? I have specifically created this .m4v using itunes from a .mov file using "convert selection to apple tv". But, what ever I do, it does not sync with my iPhone. What am I doing wrong? Do I have to specifically export all my .mov files using "convert selection for ipod"?
I also tried the option "convert selection for ipod". This option does sync with my iPhone, but the video does not appear under Video. It does come under audio but not under video.
The first issue I need to resolve is how do I sync with iPhone.
The second issue I have is :
Is there a specific format that I can keep my movies, so that I can sync with both my apple tv, iphone and also play in itunes? I dont mind converting all my movies to one format, instead of retaining the movies in three different formats to play them on all three media.

The data rate is too high -- 1500 is the max but 1000 is far safer (and most presets use under 1000).
Also, it sounds odd, but change the extension to MP4 when you convert it for iPod. Sometimes (maybe even a lot) the iPhone won't properly see an M4V extension as a movie. I know I have to convert all that I do with Handbrake to this extension.
I have both Apple TV and the iPhone and I use Handbrake for all my movie stuff. I convert using the iPhone preset but change the resolution to 640 (and turn autocrop on if I'm doing a widescreen movie). This plays perfectly on both the iPhone and Apple TV and, best of all, the quality is superb with small file sizes. I've run it on a 38inch TV and it looks to be as good or better than DVD in (it won't compare to HD but we're not talking HD here).
Even using the video cables (both composite and component) on the iPhone output the quality is terrific. I highly recommend this workflow.

    Pics taken with the iphone should be imported to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.  they are not part of the sync process at all.

    You can also use Dropbox. The Dropbox app has a very cool auto-upload process that will automatically upload photos and videos from the iPad Camera Roll to Dropbox.
    First sign up for a free Dropbox account from your computer.
    Then, download the free Dropbox app on your iPad.
    Log in to the Dropbox app on the iPad with your new account and click on the Photos icon in the lower left corner of the screen (second one from the left).
    Select "Enable Camera Upload" and "Only Wi-Fi." The upload process will begin for all existing photos in the Camera Roll.
    Do this on both your iPhone and iPad and you should be able to access all photos and videos from either device (or computer).
    Hope this answers your question!

  • Can anyone guide me how to sync sms on iphone to pc and also what setting need to be done to make sure sms remain in iphone indefinitely - need to keep record for work purpose. thanks.

    Need help from the expert on how to sync sms on iphone to pc and how to make sure that sms on iphone is not being deleted - need to keep sms for office record purpose

    You mean take the cover off of the iPhone, to look inside?  I'd recommend against it.  Even with warranty expired, you might qualify for an out-of-warranty service, which for 3GS is $149.
    Other than that, any repair/service options are going to cost money.  You might want to see if a wireless carrier will let you get a new contract & phone.
    Out of curiousity, you're just using at as, basically, an iPod Touch, if there's no cell provider?  Did I understand that correctly?

  • How to sync music from iphone 4 to my macbook?

    My macbook used to be my brothers and when i got an iphone 4 i sync most of his itunes on my iphone but recently he cleared everything off of my macbook. I have been buying songs off of itunes on my iphone ever since and i dont know how to sync from my iphone 4 to my macbook.

    The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The iphone is not a backup/storage device.  it simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which you sync.
    The exception is itunes purchases.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases
    In some countries you can redownload some itunes purchases.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    To sync any photos that are not part of photo stream, you will need to sync the photos to your computer via iTunes first and then to the other device.
    WC, will this work from photostream on my computer too?  I just turned photo stream on on my computer.  Thank you.  Liz

    I understand how to sync my MacBooks calendar to both my iPhone and iPad, but I want new entries from either device to transfer back into my computer, then get copied to the other device when I hook it up. Is there any way to do this without MobileMe?

    Go to your calendar on icloud.com from your computer, then add a test event on both your iPhone calendar and your iPad calendar.  Do they both appear on icloud.com?  If not, which one doesn't appear?
