IPhone 4a duplicating all videos when I sync

I have an iPhone 4s. The memory is practically full. I frequently fail to grasp how iTunes works (why do I have multiple copies of songs and photos hidden all over my laptop?). Today I copied all of the photos and videos onto a new folder on my laptop. However I want to put some of the photos and videos back onto my iPhone (sentimental reasons, family photos and I am away a lot). I created a new blank file on my laptop and chose this to sync everything with. This effectively cleared out the Phone as intended. I then uploaded all the photos to photo stream. This gave me all the photos back that I wanted. I then put all the videos that I wanted into the previous blank folder on my laptop and synced again in the hope of transferring the selected videos back onto my iPhone. However it duplicates them. So I have all the videos on twice and no way of deleting them (it won't let me? Why won't it let me?). All I want to do is transfer some videos, filmed on the same phone from my PC back onto the phone without duplication. And I simply cannot work out how to do it. I am admitting defeat and turning to the collective wisdom of the community to solve what I am sure is actually a very simple problem.
Many thanks in advance for any assistance given!

If you have an Iphone, you should have intunes. When you get itunes you could sync things onto your device. When you are done syncing, go to photos in order to veiw it, and go to Ipod to see your videos.
See if that will help!

    how long to charge the iPhone battery when it is new?

    thanks for the help
    As I said, you won't hurt a lithium-ion battery by not fully charging it prior to use.  These batteries don't have a "memory" like older nickel cadmium batteries do so it doesn't compromise it's ability to fully charge by using it with only a partial charge.  You also can't overcharge it; your charger will go into "trickle" charge mode once it reaches about 95% charge and remain that way.  If you want to wait to use it, charge it overnight.  If you don't, just charge it for a couple of hours, the fully charge it once you don't need to use it for a while.

  • If someone steals my iPhone and deletes all pictures, that will sync to my Mac. So then all my photos are lost! How do I safeguard against this?j

    If someone steals my iPhone and deletes all pictures, that will sync to my Mac. So then all my photos are lost! How do I safeguard against this?

    If your phone (plus syncing) is the only place you keep your pictures you are asking for trouble, theft or not. Back up onto an external hard disk which is only mounted when you need it, then nothing external can erase them. Then make use of Apple's facilities for protecting your phone:

  • I am unable to view some (but not all) videos in Firefox. But I can view ALL videos when I use Internet Explorer. Please help. I do not want to use IE.

    as stated, I am unable to view some videos in Firefox, but I am able to view them when I use Internet Explorer. How can I view all videos when using Firefox. Thank you.

    That is Flash.
    You do have the Flash player installed according to your More system details list, so Flash should be working.

  • ICal syncing with mac and iphone problem - duplicating all alarms.

    I have a mobile me account linked to my office mac, my home mac and my iPhone and my wife's iphone. I have been using this to sync all my contacts and calendar for 18 months with no problems until just after christmas. It suddenly duplicated all my contacts and all my iCal alarms. To solve it I had to use time machine to take my ical and address book back a few days and then force everything to update from that machine.
    This I thought solved it but now three weeks later it has duplicated all my alarms again. Why is this happening and how do I stop it? It does not inspire confidence in this system if it randomly changes things. How do I know it will not suddenly delete something? It is also very frustrating and time consuming to reset all the data back a few days.
    Any help or advice would be appreciated.

    The synchronization between iCal, MobileMe, and iPhone is one of the biggest embarrassments and disgraces Apple has yet to deal with.
    For over a year, I have been battling duplicates with little success. Add to all this MS Entourage, which I had to install last year because Mac Mail doesn't play nicely with Exchange server. (My company uses Exchange for our mail, etc.) To be clear, the duplicate problem existed prior to the addition of Entourage 2008. So you are out of luck, Koolaide Fans; you can't point the finger at MS in this case.
    After 6 months of struggling and fighting with Entourage (and because there is no native version of MS Project or Visio for Mac) I finally had to install VM Ware with Windows 7, MS Office 2007, Visio, Project, etc. The MS apps work perfectly under the Windows 7 session. So, I my functionality for business has been restored. However, I am left wondering why I have a Mac if it can't provide me the functionality I need for such basic things as Email, calendars, contacts, and tasks. I am to the point where I am basically doing everything in the VMWare session under Windows.
    I am very pleased with my Mac's ability to do video editing, graphics, and sound using Adobe products. But again, I work in mainstream corporate America where 90% of the marketshare is still PC/Windows.
    In the end, I am hoping someone from Apple can come forward soon and say "This is EXACTLY how you need to configure your Entourage/iCal/MobileMe/iPhone so that you aren't crippled by duplicates and other nonsense...." It really is ridiculous.

  • IOS 7.0.4 broke my photos and videos when I sync - Apple Support, do you've any answer/solution??

    When I sync my photos to iPhone 5s and iPad Mini retina, iOS 7.0.4 its broke my photos. What's is happening? When Apple is going to solve this serious problem? I made a facory reset and the problem persist. Affortunatelly photos are OK and safe in my Mac but this issue scares, because photos and videos belong to unforgettable memories. I'm user of Apple for more than 12 years, I have had all versions of iPhone and iPad, and never had this kind of problems.\
    I were in an Apple store, they told me that I've to restore as a new iPhone and iPad but the problem persist.
    1. Has anyone any solution?
    2. Apple Support people or Customer Management, please, could you give some answer about that?
    Thanks in advance for your answers and comments.

    This means that when I try to see synced photos in my IPhone or iPad the photos appears with lines of shadows, with some parts in green, with some pixels in black and white, some lines in white, etc. I never had this kind of problems, my photos are ok in my Mac and it's happening with old photos and photos that I took a week ago (so, this is not a problem with photos taken with my new iPhone, this a problem with all my photos when I sync it to those devices).
    On the other hand, when I play my videos, the videos stop and play, freezing images and not reproducing images and voice simultaneously.
    Please, let me know if you need further information.

  • I want my iPhone photos to be included when I sync

    When I sync to Windows Vista pc, photos are not syncing. In iTunes options I see how to make it sync from PC to iphone, but I want it to sync from iphone to pc.
    Thanks

    There is no quick and easy way to silence all alerts in iOS while allowing the phone to ring. The alarm will always sound, even if the silent switch is activated (provided the phone is not powered off entirely).
    Many people have asked for a 'bedside mode' similar to that offered by other smartphones. In this state, the alarm would still sound if set, and the phone would ring for incoming calls, but no other alerts will sound.
    Though it can't be done in software settings, the equivalent can easily be acheived by plugging your headphones into the phone. The alarm and ringer will still sound through the phone speaker, but all other alerts will play only through the headphones.

  • Why doesn't the iPad pick up my camera videos when it syncs with my computer?

  • Itunes deletes all podcasts when I sync

    I was manually managing my podcasts, but when I synce my ipod, all of my podcasts are deleted, and when I try to copy them back manually, some of them won't copy. No error messages, they just don't go. I can get the problem podcasts on by letting itunes automatically sync my podcasts, but I do not want itunes to handle the sync automatically. The first 3 days after installing itunes and transferring my library to the new pc, everything was fine, then itunes started deltimg my podcasts. After a 4 days of that, it stopped letting me manually copy podcasts to the ipod (through itunes).

    One thing to check, look at your podcast default options and make sure they are set to keep all the episodes.

    You could also try control-A, then right-click and choose "Do Not Auto Delete"

  • I lost all my photos and videos when I synced my iPod touch 5G with my computer, is there anyway to retrieve them?

    I think it updated the system aswell.

    On the computer go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and see if a backup is listed. If no backup then unless you backet up to iCloud then, as I said  my first reply:
    - If you used PhotoStream then try getting them (photos only) from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:

  • Why does iPhone 4 take long time when finishing syncing?

    I have recently started noticing, after upgrading to 7.0.3 that my iphone doesn't work as well, crashes occur in apps and it's a lot slower to process.
    Then I went to back-up my iphone, to my Macbook Pro, as I always do and have recently done since upgrading to 7.0.3.
    It goes through the first stages of back-up at a regualr speed.
    But when it gets to 'Finishing Sync' .... well, it has been finishing now for over 30mins!
    I have alot of Apps on my phone, but have never had an issue with using them before upgrading.
    Can anyone give me some advice on what I need to do to prevent this or fix the speed of the sync.
    Can I do a partial back-up/sync of importnat things like iCal - when im in a hurry?
    My phone obviously won't back up properely if I eject it before it's finished? Love some assistance if anyone has any ideas.
    Thanks!

    Welcome to our community
    Unless something has gone catastrophically wrong, you should never have to perform the uninstall/reinstall/reapply the patch hokey pokey. So that's just wasted effort. There is a simple way to perform what I call the "Factory Reset".
    I recently described how to do this in the thread linked below:

    I might question why this is needed at all. Perhaps you are unaware of some things that help you avoid issues with Captivate.
    For example:
    How many slides are in your projects? We normally recommend keeping projects somewhere between 50-65 slides as a rule of thumb guideline for the upper limit.
    Where exactly are your projects residing when you make edits? Frequently we see folks working with projects on a network drive. This is less than optimal and will often cause issues and slowness and project corruption. Work locally off your C drive and periodically copy the project the network server to be backed up.
    Hopefully something here was helpful to you... Rick

  • Lost audio to all videos when last updated software

    I have an iPAD 1 and since last software update (7.1.2) I have no audio when viewing uTube or other videos. The audio control button indicates that audio is 'on'. Is there a fix?
    Bob

    You don't have an iPad 1. The max iOS version for an iPad 1 is iOS 5.1.1.
    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430 It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
    If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.
    iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker

    iPhone: Can’t hear through the receiver or speakers
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1630
    http://www.atreks.com/app-no-sound-on-ipad-4-%E2%80%93-what-to-do/
    To solve some sound problems, just follow these simple steps
    1. Go to Settings
    2. Tap on General
    3. Tap on Reset
    4. Tap on Reset All Settings
    What this effectively does is to reset some of your Settings to factory default. It’s not a complete removal of settings. It removes all of your preferences for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Do No Disturb, Notifications, General, Sounds, Brightness & Wallpaper and Privacy. It doesn’t affect your data. All of your email accounts will remain intact, as well as any SMS text or iMessages.

  • Iphone 4 - lost photos & videos while upgrading / syncing phone

    I tried upgrading / syncing my phone last-night & for some reason it froze.  I had to restore my phone back to its original settings. I believe I synced my phone properly before it froze.  I was able to retrieve my contacts & apps.....but not my photos or videos. How come they weren't saved like the contacts & apps were? Could they be saved somewhere else on my Macbook?  UGH ----- THIS IS SOOOO ANNOYING!!!!!   PLEASE HELP :___(

    Pics and video taken with the iphone are imported regularly by YOU as with any other digital camera.
    Certainly you did not upgrade without importing your pics and vids?
    The contacts and apps came back because they are on your computer, lie everything else on iphone should be.
    If you failed to import the pics and vids before updating, then you could try restoring from the last backup ( hoping the pics and vids are on that backup).
    Backing up, updating, and restoring iPad, iPod touch, and iPhone software
    Otherwise, they are gone.
