Imported video from iPhone suddenly without sound. Thanks Apple!

Is there any way of recovering the original file from my iphone? Im used to Apple delivering products of high quality therefore I delete all files from my iPhone after importing to my computer. You shouldnt have to save the files just to make sure the import was a success. But this time I shouldnt have trusted this lousy piece of "equipment". I, full of anticipation, watched my movies. They have not sound! Why now!? Why these movies?! I have not changed any settings in my iPhone at all since last recording of videos with working sound and I have racorded videos with working sound after these.
The imported videofile have no sound at all. This is not a question about volume. VLC tells me there is no sound stream at all! Videos taken the day after have normal working sound. Presumably worthless iTunes messed up the importing and some great, priceless minutes of video gets destroyed because there is no sound!
Please someone help me recover the original files from my iPhone or get these minutes of video WITH sound. pleaase!

The fact that you never heard of it doesnt change my situation. But thanks for the sympathy.
The problem still exists.
If it is not iPhotos fault. It must be Apples video-app on my iPhone. Right?! Its still the same company that made this junk. I dont know of any swith muting the sound while recording video.
I am also aware of the problems involved in saving data that has been flagged "OK to delete" by the OS.
Regarding the "try google tip" Im not sure if you are suggesting any other means of data recovery that wouldnt be proper to suggest on this website but still might work. If that is the case please insist on suggesting that method once more, maybe beeing a bit more specific?
If you are just beeing polite and havent got any more answers but still want to help by giving me standard answer. Thank you for your help but it wasnt enough.

Aperture isn't importing videos from iPhone, only photos. I've tried plugged in and over wifi. Help?

Aperture isn't importing videos from iPhone, only photos. I've tried plugged in and over wifi. Help?

How did you transfer the photos from your other iPhone? If you did it by importing them from the old phone to a computer and then used iTunes to sync them back to the new phone, then you would delete them by syncing again using iTunes but this time change the selection of which photos are to be synced. Each time you sync using iTunes, it sets the non-Camera Roll photos on the phone to match the current settings/selection in iTunes.

How to import videos from iPhone 4 to PC?

I'm trying to get a video that I recorded and edited with my iPhone 4 and iMovie, on my PC so I can share it with others. It won't email because the file size is too big (but the video is only 1:20...) and I uploaded it to YouTube but they removed the audio because it's copyright infringment. I've going through My Computer and a few other things and all the photos get imported but when I try and play an imported video it won't load and just freezes. Any tips?

How do i import video from iPhone to an external drive

I have a lot of video clips on my iPhone. I like to export them to an external drive. I don't want to create an new iPhoto libraries. I just want to move the video clips from my IPhone, such that later I can import selected one's to iMovie. Once the clips are imported to an external drive, how do I delete them from the iPhone. I don't want to have to delete them one at a time!
thanks
Hal

Hi Halle,
Connect the iPhone to your Mac using the USB/Lightning charge cable. Open the Apple provided app "Image Capture" (it should be in your Applications folder). Image Capture should recognise the iPhone as a connected device and create thumbnails for each video clip and photo. To select everything (including photos) click on Edit>Select All in the Menu. If you only want to import the videos you will need to click (or Command>Click or Shift>Click) on the video clips in order to select them. Then select Import at the bottom right of the viewer. But before that step, at the bottom left, you need to select Import to: Other (from the pop-up menu) then navigate to your connected external drive. All the selected videos will be copied to that drive.
To delete all the videos from the iPhone, there is no quick way of doing this, as far as I'm aware. But to speed up the process, firstly select the Videos album in the Photos folder, then press on Select at the top right of the screen. You can now touch each video clip to invoke a tick mark (circled in blue). Once you have selected all the clips you wish to delete, simply touch the Trash icon at the bottom right. You may also be able to delete the clips when syncing the iPhone with iTunes, but I haven't tried this.

IPhoto does not import video from iPhone 4

We've been battling this problem for a while now. We have two iPhone 4's and any time we import photos to iPhoto, we have to select photos individually, making sure to NOT select any videos taken with the iPhone 4, in order to get them to import to iPhoto. If there is a video in the set, all photos after that are reported as unrecognized format and won't import. We can then select those photos that didn't import and reimport them and it works. Importing videos, either single videos or groups, or when mixed in with photos just doesn't work. Every time it fails with the unrecognized format error. We are able to import directly from a flip video camera, or if we first transfer the videos from the iphone to the hard drive using a different utility, but when we then import those files into iPhoto, they come in, but without the usual thumbnail image (they show up in the library as black).
This problem has been going on since iPhoto 09. We bought the 11 upgrade hoping it would fix this problem. It made it a little better (we used to not be able to import anything from the phones), but it still doesn't work for video. If it were just one of the phones I'd say it was the phone, but both phones have the problem. We've been seeing this problem for many months now.

Believe me, we've tried it all. Resetting, restarting, reinstalling, clearing preferences, caches, resetting databases, removing all photos off the iPhone and starting from zero. I've read probably 15 different threads on the subject and tried at least as many solutions. In a few instances the problem got better...for 1 sync. Then it cropped up again. I tried syncing to a fresh iPhoto database, and the problem came back for that one as well. I'm really hoping that Apple is working on a solution for this. We've put a lot of effort into our iPhoto archives and the main reason we bought the iPhone's was for the camera (even suffering through AT&T's questionable coverage for it). It doesn't seem like we are the only ones having this trouble.

IPhoto won't import videos from iPhone 6 Plus

I'm trying to import the videos from my iPhone 6 Plus into iPhoto (9.6.1). iPhoto acts like it's about to import but it gets to the end and says it can't import the videos from the iPhone because they are in an unrecognized format (.MOV)
I've never had an issue in the past, any suggestions on how to fix this?
I'm using a brand new iMac with Yosemite (10.10.2) and iPhone 6 Plus.
Thanks!

How do I import video from iphone to my desktop?

I would like to import a video from my iphone to my desktop to edit in quicktime converting video format for youtube upload. How do I do this?

Device is unreachable: Cannot import video from iPhone 5 to Win 8.1 PC

This error message has become the bane of my existence as it stands in the way of importing all my photos and videos from my iPhone to my computer and thus not having a 99% full iphone on a daily basis. Most photos are imported just fine, just the larger videos and a few of the old photos show the error message "The device is unreachable." The photos I also had on my photostream so I don't care if those don't move in but I'd very much like to import the 5/10min videos I made. Any help is much appreciated.

I had the same issue. Here is what I did and it works fine.
My iPhone is 5S with iOS 8.1.
On my iPhone, I went to "Settings" --> "Photos & Camera" and I then turned on both "My Photo Stream" & "iCloud Photo Sharing" (you may need to turn on only one feature and it may work...I did not try to turn one on at a time because I was so frustrated and I did not have patience...so I turned them all on). I then unplugged my iPhone and then plugged it back in...the Windows 8 window popped up and I transferred all videos at once. I then also could be able to use Windows Explorer to copy & paste the video files if I wanted to (I could not do this before I fixed it).
Good luck guys

Importing Videos from iPhone 4, via itunes to iPad2 & imovie

After discussions with Apple support today, it appears that i can not import videos i have taken on my iPhone4 to my iPad2 (via itunes) in order to be edited in iMovie.
Reason given was something to do with copyright?!
I find this quite astonishing to be fair based on the iphone 4 being the easier device to carry around and record HD videos on compared to the iPad. i would have thought the integration between the devices and swapping fiels over would have been more straight forward.
This may not be a new issue to some so i am wondering if ther eis a work around? Can i create an imovie doc on my iphone 4 with the relevant videos included and import that file instead so as to do further editing on the ipad?
is there an alternative way of getting my videos i have taken with the iphone4 onto the ipad so i can edit in imovie?
Many thanks in advance for any responses
Cheers
Adam

Why won't iPhoto import videos from iPhone 6 Plus?

iPhoto on iMac will not import the videos from my iPhone 6Plus. It says there is an error, and it doesn't recognize the format. That makes no sense. Both are brand new apple products. Now all my videos on my iPhone are "white" pictures. On the computer there is a standard icon for each video that won't open. What is happening? Have I lost these videos (22 of them). How could this be?

Importing video from iPhone 4 to QuickTime

I've seen several threads on this topic, but when I use MPEG Streamclip, my iPhone 4 footage comes out jumpy and stretched. I'm importing into iPhoto, dragging the clip onto the desktop, then dragging the desktop file into MPEG Streamclip. There I select:
File: Export to QT Video
Compression: Apple Intermediate CODEC
Quality: 100%
1280:720 (HDTV720P)
Frame Rate 29.97
Turn on Frame Blending and Better Downscaling
Turn off Interlace scaling
Everything else is as MPEG Streamclip defaults
The resulting file is stretched. I find it odd also that the original footage (as seen in MPEG Streamclip) seems narrow and tall. I'm in Australia (a PAL country?). Not sure if that has anything to do with things. I've seen the above work fine in a Final Cut Pro tutorial, but my video is stretched and jumpy.
Ultimately I'm trying to get it into Final Cut Express, but see the video as stretched at the MPEG Streamclip stage. If we can get that to work, then what easy set up codes (for a PAL country) do I use in FCE?
Thanks!!

Thanks so much for the reply, Tom. I've only taken a few clips as tests at this point, so it's no worries to process one taken with the phone vertical (I can just delete it and try again). I've taken another test clip with the phone horizontal and exported to quicktime using the same settings:
compression: AIC
Frame Size: 1280x720 (HDTV 720p)
and the rest as I've said above...
The file still seems stretched, though not to the degree it was when I held the phone vertically. It may be that I've still got the wrong settings, or maybe it isn't, in fact, stretched. I can't tell for sure with the test footage. But either way, when I import it into FCE and drop it into the timeline, it drops frames immediately (I can't get through the ten second clip without it dropping frames four or five times).
I believe I've set the Easy Setup to match, but not sure:
AIC, 29.97, and HDV AIC 720p30
My questions:
1. If I did the quicktime export properly, would the clip come into FCE without needing render?
2. When I saw the conversion done on a tutorial, they used MPEG Streamclip settings as 1280x720 (unscaled). Version 1.9.2 doesn't have that setting, so I was forced to use 1280x720 (HDTV720p). Is it possible this is my problem?
3. Does the AIC codec require a faster hardware setup than my previous method of capturing from a SONY video camera? (I'm using an external drive, 200G).
4. It's possible that though I'm using an external drive, that when I do an import of the quicktime clip from the desktop, it's sticking the raw file somewhere less efficient (like on my internal drive) than when I do a capture w/ scratch disks set to external drive?
Sorry for the basic questions, but I'm beside myself!! Anything you can point me to is greatly appreciated!!
Jeff
This made me think I still had the wrong format when exporting into a quicktime clip. The tutorial I located that was doing exactly what I want used Streamclip to convert it to a 1280x720 (unscaled). My version of streamclip (1.9.2 as opposed to 1.9) doesn't have that option, so I've been forced to use 1280x729 HDTV s720. Is this the reason that the clip (when played in the sequence) keeps dropping frames? Or is it that any AIC codec has trouble w/ processing?
