    how to download my photos from iPhone to iMac?

    1 - have a bit of patience - 1 minute is not really a long time
    2 - since you provide absolutely no information only guesses can be made  -- the best way is PhotoStream - other ways including connecting your iPhone and syncing using iTune  or importing

  • Can't watch video taken from iphon on PC

    I've taken several videos with my iPhone but I can't watch them on ANY pc. I tried on my home pc, laptop, work PC, and a friends PC. I just get the message that the video file can't be played. I've got Itunes, quicktime, and all the other apple programs. The videos play just fine on the phone. Any ideas?

    The iPhone records video in the H.264 video codec, which should be included as part of your install of Quicktime. What version of Quicktime are you running? You might check and see if there is an update that you might need to install. Do you have problems playing videos on the Apple Movies Trailer website? If yes, then you might be missing the H.264 codec for some reason. If no, then maybe the file is getting corrupted somehow when you copy it from your iPhone to your PC. I've has instances where a file said it finished copying and I tried to play it and couldn't (I got the same message you got from Quicktime), so I copied the file again and the file worked the second time.

  • IPhoto 9.2 and video import from iPhone with iOS5.

    From the moment I have upgraded iPhoto 11 to version 9.2 and iPhone 4 to iOS5 I have this problem.
    While importing iPhoto show me in the new photo area all the new photo to import (correct) and all the video in the iPhone, either if they are still in the library!
    Looking for the mistake I find that the file in the library and the file on the iPhone have the same movie, the same name, the same size, but date & time different. It seems like the older iOS (or the older iPhoto as well) use the end of the movie for date & time while the new version use the start of the movie.
    Any suggestion?

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • How do I sync photos from iPhone to iMac with a hardwire?

    How do I sync photos from my iPhone to my iMac with a hardwire now that I am on iCloud?

    If you want to use your usb cable, you import them to your Mac as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  You transfer them from your Mac to your phone by selecting Sync Photos on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.

  • How to transfer a book from iPhone to iMac

    Hi,
    I pre-ordered a book but when it's available to download, I can't download it on the mac.  But I have no problems downloading it on my iPhone.
    Any ideas why it's happening? Can I transfer the book from the phone to mac via iTunes? (I only know how to sync books from iTunes to iPhone, but not vice versa.)
    Thanks a lot in advance for your help!

    Thanks guys for your posts, but I'm giving up on it.
    Tried logging in and out. Didn't work.
    Tried transferring purchases from iPhone to mac via iTunes. Didn't work.
    One thing did change however, which is now in iTunes on the mac, I can see the book under the Settings/Books section ( i think it means I have this book on the mac). If I delete the book on iPhone, I can succesfully regain it by syncing from mac to iPhone using iTunes. But the fact is, I don't have the book in iBooks on mac. It still has this cloud icon in the upper right corner. And no matter how many times I tried to download it, it just didn't work.
    Too frustrating to fix this problem. I guess I'm better off just viewing it on the phone.
    Thanks guys for your help again!

  • How do I sync Notes from iPhone to iMac

    Will the Notes I create on one IOS device sync to the others (iPhone, iPad, iMac)?  I don't see

    If you use iCloud you can sync up the Notes on all your devices. Seeing Settings > iCloud.

  • Video imported from iPhone 4 to iPhoto cuts out

    I had a video I took on my iPhone 4 and watched it several times on the phone and it was fine... Accidentally imported it with some photos and selected delete from phone because I thought it was just the pics... Now when I view the video in iPhoto the audio continues just fine but the picture stops and picks up then stops and picks up again. I tried exporting it and it does the same thing... I have 2 questions,
    1) is there anything I can do to fix the video on my computer
    2) is there any possible way to recover the deleted originals from my phone??
    TIA!

    ok, update, I put the videos in an album I sync with my iPhone which put it back on my phone and it plays perfect?? I have viewed the movie in iPhoto, iMovie and just straight Quicktime on my MacBook Air and it always cuts up in the exact same places... Any ideas why??

  • Watching video downloaded from iphone

    I downloaded some videos from my iphone to photoshop.  When I try to watch them I get a message stating:  The select file cannot be played because your system does not have the required compressor/decompressor (codec) installed.
    Any ideas on how to fix this?
    Thanks.

    Not really familiar with iPhone video files.
    What's the format? What is the audio and video codec?

    The iPhone is not coming up as a device in iphoto

    Have you set iPhoto to open, when a cemera is connected? This option is set in the iPhoto preferences, Genral tab. Sete it to iPhoto.
    If that is not the problem, check the same settings in Image Capture:
    Connect the iPhone and open Image Capture.
    Select the iPhone in the Devices list and then at the bottom of the window.
    Select want you want to happen when you connect the phone.

  • HT201302 Lost videos imported from iPhone

    Yesterday I used my usb to import all videos and photo's on my phone and today, I can't find the videos. Please help!

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • How do I EXPORT songs from iPhone to iMac?

    Trying to free up space on iPhone by exporting songs BACK to iMac iTunes Library.

    If you have the songs already in your iTunes library, just delete them from your phone. 
    You can't move music from an iPhone to iTunes.  Only from iTunes to an iDevice.  Apple requires this to keep people from sharing music. 
    Any song you purchased from iTunes will be available to download again later.

  • How do I transfer my iTunes songs from iPhone to iMac air

    how do i transfer music from iPhone to iMac air

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself independently backed up against loss. To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer. iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.
