IPAD video files not transferring to hardrive

Hi there. I've filmed just a few minutes over an hour of video on my Ipad, and i tried putting it onto an external hardrive which definitely has enough space on for the videos (it has over 450GB free, and my videos are only 7GB each) yet it still tells me there is no space?? I don't understand why! Somebody help me! I need to get the videos onto a blank dvd but worried the same thing will just happen!

try connecting your iPad to a computer. You don't need to open iTunes. (unless you normally sync with a computer, in that case connect it to your syncing computer)
THe iPad can be seen as a just a digital camera, which is what you're trying to do. So connect it to a computer and see if under 'my computer' you can see it. If so click down through it to get to the DCIM folder which is where that video should be. You can then drag it off.
If you have a mac things are a bit different
Something else you could try is to upload it to a service like dropbox (not sure about it handling 7 gig tho) and then download it from dropbox to your computer where you can make a disc.

  • MPEG-4 video file not transferring to iPod

    First off, here's a screenshot of the video info: http://a.imageshack.us/img638/9269/lilb.png
    I don't know why, but these HD (720p) videos that I save from Youtube will not transfer to my iPod (120GB Classic), I usually get an error saying that the iPod can not play those type of files, but from the looks of the video info, it looks like everything is fine, last I checked, iPods were capable of playing MPEG-4 videos.

    Hello there,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Sometimes your iPod can be pretty picky about what videos it syncs even if they appear to be in the correct and compatible format. Try using iTunes built in converter to convert them to an even more iPod friendly format. To do this, highlight the video in iTunes, and choose *Create iPod or iPhone version* from the Advanced drop down menu. When it has finished converting, try syncing the new version to your iPod and see if that helps. If it does, you can go ahead and delete the original.

  • HT4101 I am trying to connect my JVC Hard Disk Drive Camcorder to my IPAD 2 via the Apple camera kit. I am able to down photos, but video files not showing. Camera shows Mass Stoarge. How can I download videos please.

    I am trying to connect my JVC Hard Disk Drive Camcorder to my IPAD 2 via the Apple camera kit. I am able to download photos, but video files not showing. Camera shows Mass Stoarge. How can I download videos please?

    The file name only has 6 characters and I'm not sure what the .mod format is. So that's why they are not seen by the iPad.
    Another way to transfer. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • I bought an iTunes Royalty free song to play behind a presentation. What I have seem to have is video file not an audio file. Am I missing a step?I want to download iTunes purchases as a .wavfile of other audio file.  Any help would be appreciated.

    I bought an iTunes Royalty free song to play behind a presentation. What I have seem to have is video file not an audio file. Am I missing a step?I want to download iTunes purchases as a .wav file or other audio file.  Any help would be appreciated

    I understand the confusion. Those tracks are royalty free to the owner of the tracks, yes. The terms of use of the iTunes Store still state, though, that all purchases are for your own personal use and cannot be used commercially:
    USAGE RULES
    1. You shall be authorized to use iTunes Products only for personal, noncommercial use.
    They're probably fine for presentations in a class or to a group at your company, but you probably could not post the presentation or a video using these tracks on a public site. I'm no lawyer, though, to legally define what would and would not constitute "noncommercial". It's probably best to just buy your tracks directly from one of these sites of royalty-free music. Then the use license should be completely clear.
    Regards.

  • Video files not in camera roll

    So I re did all my photo and video files and deleted everything fro
    My camera roll. All photos and videos were moved into folders on my pc and then synced back to my phone. All my videos did not sync back. The videos were Placed in folders with pictures on computer but they didn't sync in the folders on my phone. Any ideas how to get videos back onto phone?

    Photos and videos transferred from your computer are not and cannot be stored in the Camera Roll.
    Do you have Include Videos selected under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?

  • ONLY video files not already in library wont transfer to itunes library

    I've found NO help from the apple website dealing with this problem, video only importing problems don't even come up in the help sections.
    heres an example, i just bought a new cd, i can easily transfer the files from the drive to my library, or from a folder on my computer to the itunes library.
    BUT if i have recieved a new video file, in any format, i click - file, add file to library, (file name), open. then- absolutely nothing happens. If i have a folder of videos to transfer, i go to - file, add folder to library, (folder name), open. Sometimes a breif glimpse of the "processing filename" apears in a box on the screen, IF I'M LUCKY. But less than two seconds later, the box dissapears and itunes stops all attempts to put my new video files into its library.
    I've tried to remedy this by the following-
    I've tried to 'repair' itunes
    i've tried to uninstall and reinstall itunes
    i've tried to convert the files into .mpv, the file all ready to go for putting it on an ipod
    i've tried to restart, reboot, completely shut and unplug computer
    i've installed avg a spyware detector and searched for viruses, just in case a virus is effecting itunes or the files i want to put in it-no go
    i've tried deleting my library and putting in only the video files, just in case it was full... (i doubt it i had 10 gigs of memory in itunes it should hold more)
    I've tried deleting my library, then moving the files in the correcct format to the itunes library folder that has the files backed up to trick it that it was already there before- that didn't work.
    I've just gotten a 30g new ipod with video and have transfered over 50 video files to it, there were no problems before, but there are now- its very frusterating especially because I WANT TO WATCH MY TV SHOW ON MY IPOD IN MY ROOM UNDER SOFT FUZZY COVERS! ='S
    Has anyone else had this problem? and if so... are there steps to fix it, and WHY does it do this? (for any reason other than hating me)

    I myself have came across this problem. I have found that for some reason simply clicking on other parts of iTunes and then adding the video file it eventually adds (most times).
    I have also found that when attempting to convert some files to mpeg-4, the same thing has also happened. I have put it down to a bad corrupt file that iTunes does not like.
    It could be that the files we are trying to add and/or convert to iTunes are damaged files even if they can be played using other media players.

  • Duplicate video files not working

    Random video files don't work when transferred or duplicated.
    One process;
    I transfer .mov files from one computer to the local drive on the mac. Most of the files work- others just show the quicktime icon, but fail to open citing "The document “XXXX.mov” could not be opened. The movie's file format isn't recognized."
    Another process;
    I already have the video files (.mov, .mp4, etc.) already on the local mac- most files have no issues, but when I duplicate the file some just show the quicktime icon and fail opening with 'The document “XXXXX.xxx” could not be opened. The movie's file format isn't recognized."
    One thing is clear- if a file fails, once transferred or duplicated, that file will ALWAYS fail if re-transferring or re-duplicating.

    If you click Yes the project file will be updated when you save it. That has nothing to do with the media.
    Are the Lesson and Media folders still in the Book Files folder (or whatever it's called)?
    Select one of the clips in the browser and use Edit>Item Properties. One of the first lines is Source. That gives you the file path for where your media is supposed to be located. What does it say? If nothing is there, use the File>Reconnect function and point the application to where the media is located.

  • Some  Mpeg 4 video files not working under Window 7

    I recently purchased a new PC running under Windows 7 OS. Obviously I have installed the latest version of ITunes and QuickTime player. I transferred all my music and video files from my vista laptop to the PC. The music files play fine using ITunes and the most recent music video files play ok too, but there seems to be a problem with the older music video files. When I try to play one of the older music video files, ITunes asks for authorization for the new PC to play the video each time I try to play the same video. ITunes grants authorization each time, but the video does not play, it shows that the video is playing on the progression bar but the music video is not displayed.
    I have tried to play the music video using windows media player, but windows media error message says that it doesn't support the format of the music video.
    I am perplexed as to what is going on; why will the newer music videos play through ITunes and not the older ones, and why doesn't windows media player support Mpeg 4 video files?

  • I want my flash video file NOT to load until I hit play...how can I do that?

    I am wanting this to improve the initial download speed of the page. I have already added a Poster Frame to video's, however it still seems to be loading the video file and just autoplaying.  Is there a way to NOT load the video file until the person hits play?  This is the AS3 script I used...
    import fl.video.VideoEvent;
    myPoster.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playMovie);
    function showPosterFrame(event:Event):void {
    myPoster.visible = true;
    function hidePosterFrame(event:Event):void {
    myPoster.visible = false;
    function playMovie(event:MouseEvent):void {
    myVideo.play();
    myVideo.addEventListener(VideoEvent.PLAYING_STATE_ENTERED, hidePosterFrame);
    myVideo.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, showPosterFrame);
    I am using Dreamweaver to put the pages together via the Insert - Media - Flash...then putting the .swf file in the page.
    Thanks,
    Arguilo

    you can start the video and then stop it.  it will continue to download (which you can monitor).  when the time is right, you can enable the video's play button.  before the video's ready to start, you can entertain your users.

    Same problem & still getting both vlc & mplayer errors as above.
    None of this was happening yesterday so I decided to pick through the upgrades & downgrade the ones affecting just vlc/video:
    [2014-08-15 00:05] [PACMAN] Running 'pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/libx264-1:142.20140311-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz'

    [2014-08-15 00:10] [PACMAN] downgraded mplayer (37224-2 -> 37224-1)
    the only other thing I think might be causing this is the kernel upgrade but I don't really want to downgrade that because potentially that would mean doing it for all the upgrades!
    can any of you archers see what might have caused this as the video file & others have been working fine & I can't see any other bugs or reports of this happening elsewhere.
    thanks in advance for you help

    so ...odd stuff for sure but I wonder how long this works for & why the above is so blatantly intermittent
    I wonder if I could write a script that would check dmesg or a log file for the presence of  "*ERROR* Failed to initialize GPU, declaring it wedged" & if found to load a config to enable uxa lol

  • Video files not showing up in FR

    Hi all, this is my first Mac. So far I'm loving it, God only knows why I didn't make the switch sooner.
    Most of my video-library consists of the following video file types; .avi, .mov, .mpg and .mpg.
    Reading some topics, I found that as long as QT could play these files given the proper codecs, FR would have no problem playing them, too.
    So I looked around and found out about Perian - worked to perfection, QT can now play all files.
    Problem is, when I place any type of file, including .mov's, in the proper Movies folder it does not show up in FR. The only way I can get files to show up in FR is to add them via iTunes, and the only files I can add to iTunes are .mov's and .mpg's.
    Does anyone know why my Movies folder is not "in sync" with FR?

    There you go. The other user short name! I never tried that, because I assumed the Movies folder that was in the sidebar from default would be the one. But yeah, all I did was create a Movies folder in the user short name (since there wasn't one to begin with) and voila! Thanks a lot!
    And about making saves as reference movies - thanks for that advice, it's been very helpful in getting me started organizing my digital video library.
    Still have some qualms about FR, though. The way videos are organized ... been playing with it for several hours today and here are some of my issues:
    I like to keep my stuff organized ... I like the fact that I have the option of using either FR or iTunes (cover flow), so that's the route I'm taking using both. Already, things get complicated.
    My video media is basically in three groups: movies, TV shows and music (music videos, concerts, etc.).
    First off, I've decided to use the FR-designated Movies folder only for saved movie references. This is to avoid clutter, so the actual files are not in the Movies folder. Is this a wise idea? I'll tell you the basis for this decision.
    When I first started organizing the files I found that any video placed in the Movies folder shows up in FR under .... yup, Videos->Movies. Be it music videos or anything TV shows. I don't like that. For everything that's not categorized as a movie, I'd like for those files to end up in their proper sub-menu in FR, but they don't. In iTunes, they are all in their proper place, because I've edited all the info so it looks neat and orderly.
    Is there a way around that? What I've done to make it seem cleaner, is in the Movies folder with all the saved reference movies, I've organized it like this:
    (user short name)/Movies/
    - Movie A, Movie B, Movie C
    - Other (folder containing all non-movies video files)
    So all the files in Other has been correctly arranged via iTunes, so these files show up in the correct sub-menu in FR.
    What I mean is that they show up twice in FR, once because they're in the Movies folder and then another time (this is what I want), because I've directed them to a specific category via iTunes, e.g. music videos. I only want them to show up once, not in sub-menu Movies of FR, but either TV Shows or Music Videos ... make any sense?
    Please don't tell me it isn't possible, or maybe advice me a better way to organize it.
    Also, I'm having trouble getting some files to play. They play fine in QT, but if I change some info in iTunes they won't play in FR ... and the preview thumbnail is just black.
    And lastly, wow ... there is a lot of load time, when you start FR up ... it's weird, sometimes there is none, sometimes I'll have to wait two minutes once I've gone by the main menu. I thought using saved movie references would help the load time, since the actual library is not in the designated FR-folder.
    That's basically it for now ... 1) organizational troubles 2) playback troubles and 3) load time.
    So far, you guys have helped me solve my issue, hope you will again!
    Love Mac!

  • IPad Video app not sorting correctly

    All,
    Long time reader, first time poster - but I cannot seem to find a resolution to my issue, I fail to see how this issue could go unresolved for as long as I have had it;
    The iPad video App when streaming from a home shared iTunes account does not sort TV shows as per the TV Show / Season / Episode attributes in the metadata. Is there a fix for this other than re-entering the metadata to the Artist attribute - I have a moderately sized library and this would consume my attention for far too long, not to mention its double handling!!!
    Surely the introduction of a sort function on iOS devices and Apple TV is not too much to expect.
    Thanks

    Actually there is a fix, that I found from another thread. Plug in yor device to the computer as it's faster. Un synch all your music from the iPad, which will remove it from the Pad. When that's done, turn the music synch back on, putting your tunes back on the device.
    The music library is corrupted and this will fix that. A regular synch will not work.

  • Video file not playing in Photos

    Imported photos/videos from a SD card. Performed this task many times before. This time, some video files display as "AVI", as opposed to displaying the first frame. The video will not play. The file is skipped when I use sweeping motion to go to next/previous picture/video.
    Also, I don't know how to delete the file, because I cannot select it.
    Most video files from the SD card work as they should.

    Any ideas? Is there a difference between the Quick Time 7 Pro encoding of an iPod/iPhone video file and the way a similar file is encoded through QUick Time X?
    Unfortunately, the latest iTunes update 9.2.1 has not solved the problem. I cannot get to the bottom of this. Quite frustrating. Any suggestions?

  • Issues relinking files in FCP X -original audio & video files not accepted

    I have recently updated my FCP x to version 10.0.9. Most of my projects have updated fine and until I loaded them on another mac (I have the actual files on an external hard drive) today, I was able to work with them as before.
    Something strange happened today - when I loaded one of my projects, it said that the audio tracks I had previously detatched in the timeline could not be found (although the video files were in the timeline as before, showing the audio track beneath). But whilst they were marked red, I could still play back the project and hear the audio playing.
    I decided to re-link the project files, except for the first 5 clips which hadn't been affected by the 'loss' of audio. After relinking the files, the audio worked, but the video showed up all black. It turns out that Final Cut had moved all my 'faulty' video files into the trash, and just kept the audio from these files (though I don't know where as there were no audio files in the folder the video files had been moved from.
    I decided to re-start my computer and Final Cut, and to re-link the files again. At this point Final Cut came up with an error message, saying that the files could not be re-linked as they contained audio, whereas the original files didn't (this is of course incorrect as these are exactly the same original video&audio files I filmed and imported weeks ago.
    Please help me, I am very worried about losing my projects I have spent weeks on editing as I use Final Cut professionally.
    Many thanks in advance.

    I have run into this kind of thing  before and I can only attribute it to a data base error on FCPx part. In my case the only solution I have found was to re-import the files again and then drag the newly imported file to the timeline. You may choose to Replace or you may delete the original section in the timeline and just place an appropriate length section in. You'll have to reestablish transitions and such.  There may be some other methods to deal with this kind of bug in FCPx but if there are I haven't found it. I have only encountered this kind of thing once or twice but I have found no way to ever get those files connected again and for FCPx to "see" things correctly.
