Is there a simple system out there to back up photos and video from iPhone to an external HD?
I like to backup video and photos separately but this is proving extremely difficult from iPhone. Is there a simple way to do this?
How is it difficult? Treat the phone like any other digital camera and import them to wherever you like on your computer using your photo management software.

Hi guys! This is my first discussion and I'm not exactly sure what kind of details to put, so I'll just be as detailed as possible. I hope I don't confuse anyone. I really REALLY need help!
I've got a 16 GB iPhone 4S and always find myself filling up my phone with photos and videos, so I upload both onto my MacBook Pro 2011. Now that my laptop's getting full... I'm uploading all of those backed up photos and videos onto a 500 GB Seagate external harddrive.
All of my photos open just fine. It's the videos that I'm worried about. All of the videos that I've loaded from last year (2013) are playing well. Anything before 2013 aren't opening properly. I'm opening the video files directly from my external harddrive. It goes:
1) Opens up QuickTime Player
2) Shows that it's converting
3) Shows a frame from the video, but the time says 0:00-0:00.
I had a LOT of videos from before 2013 and would like to retrieve them if possible. They're no longer on my laptop though. All of the video files are 20 KB - 980 KB and has to convert on quicktime player for me to watch them. Some of the video files I've tried out were from 2013 and 24 KB and opened just fine. I've opened both ~20KB - ~900 KB video files before 2013 and they're all 0:00-0:00 time length. Anyone else having this problem? Thanks!I have the same issue. We've lost all of our older videos including videos of our children and since passed family dog. I have no idea why this has happened. I have backed up religiously, but now even the archived photos are 0 seconds. So frustrated with iPhoto. This is the second time this awful software mysteriously lost pictures or videos. Last time it was the birth pictures of my second daughter. And now this. Horrible horrible product.
Older videos are all now just 0:00:00 in length. We did not alter these at all!!

How do I free up storage space on ipad2?
There are some wireless external hard drives that can be used with the iPad.
The Kingston Wi-Drive, which costs $50 for the 16 Gigabyte, and then $30 more for every 16 gigs more. It works by you turning it on and then accessing the files on it from an app that you download on your iDevice. You can access music, movies, and other stuff. No connections or anything, it works like a WiFi connection, you connect to it from the setting on the iPad under wireless networks.
Then there is the Seagate GoFlex, which some would recommend over the Wi-Drive. But this one costs $199 and had 500 Gigabytes of storage. It works the sameway as the Kingston: no wires, runs over its wireless connection. You can actually fit up to 300 HD movies on it.
Another option:
Expand your iPad's storage capacity with HyperDrive

How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

I'm probably doing this all wrong. Just in case here it is again.
I'm having trouble signing into the iCloud Control Panel. None of the iCloud suggested fixes work. I'm using Windows 7 on a PC. Is there a simple fix out there?asdfjava-er wrote:
The book that I'm using said it wasn't necessary for this because it's supposed to just make sure everything is working properly--which it's not.OK, if you want to ignore my advice, so be it, but please don't complain that it is not going to work without even trying it yourself.

Now this is the part I don't get. The book tells me to go to http://localhost:8080/ch1/Serv1 even though there are no files/folders that have the name Serv1.
Do you understand what the <servlet-mapping> declaration in the web.xml means? It is roughly just saying the appserver that it should port all requests on /Serv1 to the mentioned servlet.
a couple others like/ch1/WEB-INF/classes/Ch1Servlet.class and /ch1/WEB-INF/web.xml. The WEB-INF folder is not public accessible, so forget about that part.
"Resource not found" simply means that either the URL is wrong (case counts!) or that the resource is actually not there. I.e. not compiled, not deployed, not loaded, etcetera. Reading the appserver's startup logs might also help. -

i deleted a ton of photos and videos from my phone but it's still telling me iCloud won't back up because there is not enough storage available. how do i get around this?
The Storage space its referring to is on iCloud. How much iCloud space is left, and how much space is your iPhone using?
iCloud storage space and the iPhone's physical storage space are 2 different things. -
I recently had to swap out my iphone 4s and I am having problems restoring photos and videos from icloud. When I restored my phone from icloud, half of my pics and videos have been deleted, the pics that were restored on my phone are very blurry, and the videos won't play. I get a message on my phone that says " the URL you are requesting is not found on this server". I have erased and reset my phone twice, but every time I do it, more pics and videos are deleted. I have backed up to icloud and iphoto, however, some of the pics are no longer on iphoto either. Is there someway to get the videos to play on my phone again? Make the photos not as blurry as they are now and to restore the pics and videos that have been lost? I really would love to have them back, this phone is supposed to be the best and right now it doesn't seem to be. Please help if you can.
I too have noticed that once i restored from iCloud. Pictures blurry and videos wont play!
Need help too!! -
Is there any way that I would be able to download my pictures and videos from my old android to my iCloud?? I'm desperate to make this happen. It is the pics of my baby girl. I have just received the iPhone so I hope to never have this problem again but I need a solution currently.... Thanks!!
sure pretty simple. make a backup of your current settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
then import pics to computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
you may need to save pics to camera roll first
then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes

Is there any way to retrieve photos and videos from my water damaged iPhone 6?
My iPhone 6 appears to be water damaged and won't turn on. At this point, I'm ready to give up on the phone but I'd like to retrieve data from the phone if possible - especially photos and videos. Is there any way to do this? I have seen suggestions to take it to the Apple Store, but with the nearest one just over an hour away, I would be very disappointed to drive all that way just to be told there's nothing they can do.
Thanks, John. I should have specified - no iCloud back up. I would have maxed it out with the first backup, so I didn't do it. I back up to my computer, but hadn't done that in about a month. Big lesson learned here. I have a new phone and am setting up iCloud!! I'm trying to allow all my family's devices to back up to the same iCloud - that's the new challenge

system restored it's self after a recent operating system upgrade 8.0 and kept shutting down and restarting ,asked to be linked to my mac ,,so I did and it totally reset it's self ,all my apps ,photos and videos are gone from the day I bought the ipad...looked in itunes and I cloud and they are not there,,is it possible to recover all my photos now after a complete restore has happened?
Do you have a back up?
If not you're into using file recovery software like File Salvage - you can download a free trial and it will scan the disk for you and tell you with might be recoverable. Actual recovery will require that you purchase the app. There may be many files with the same or similar names. Always recover the largest file size.
There are other such apps. Search on Macupdate or the App Store -
someone please help i went to a concert and took tones of videos and pics but then when i got home my camera role was full so i looked on icloud and saw that everything has been saved on there so i didnt worry about deleteing all of my videos and photos but then when i did that ( always the way it goes ya dont reolize until its to late :@ ) all my videos wont play they have almost just turned into photos. you see the start image like on camera role thing but you cant click on it to play the video
this is on my iphone 5 by the wayWelcome to the Apple Community Diane.
I find that shared video can be troublesome, a few haven't appeared to work as you describe but have done when I've looked at a later date. Hopefully they will work if you give them a bit longer. perhaps it would be a good idea if you make sure they are working before deleting them from the camera roll. -
TS1702 is there any way to archive purchased apps, i.e. remove and archive from iphone
I have apps on my iphone 3gs that I am not playing or using any longer, when I sync they are automatically reloaded, is there any way that one I remove the items that they can be archived w/in the app store?
Change your sync settings in iTunes, you're probably syncing all apps rather than selected apps. By default, app purchases are always available in the App Store for re-download if you want it back on the iPhone but don't want to re-sync to get it.

can computer expert retrieve deleted videos and photo from and iphone 4 which the photos and video are not sync before? Are there any tools or software to retrieve it?
kimberlyq wrote:
That means it is possible for sure there is a chance to retrieve back those photos and video.
No, there are no gurantees. The capabilitty exists to retrive deleted data from an iPhone, but like many things in life it is not 100% successful all the time. Be careful, there are a lot of scam artists out there. They take your money & retrive nothing. This guy is one of the best in the business, but he does not work for people in the private sector. Perhaps he can recommend a service to you. But, as already pointed out, you're looking at thousands of dollars out of pocket whether these folks are successful or not:

My ipod touch 5th gen went through the wash the other day while it was on and it came out not working at all. I was wondering if there was a way to get any of my photos and videos off of it so i could put them on my computer. Anything will do, from do it yourself methods to companies that will do it for you.
- If they are in an iPod backup then restore another iPod, iPad or iPhone from that backup. See the restore topic of:
iOS: How to back up
- If they are in the iTunes backup then get them from the backup by:
Recover iPhone, iPad or iPod photos from backups with Picturescue
- If you used PhotoStream then try getting photos (only) from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
- A data recovery company can likely get them off the iPod. Be prepared to pay alot. Google for iPhone data recovery
