Issue with deleting 0 byte video mp4 file from iphone 5S

The issue happens when I tried to sync my iPhone 5s photo to iPhone on my Mac. The two 0 byte video file just cannot be sync and iphoto will prompt the error. "Error downloading image. Photo cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image."
I try to use "Image Capture" on the mac to delete it as suggested by many users, but it did not allow me to select the 2 files at all. Could any guru kindly render their kind assistance to this problem. Thanks.

in case you ended up on this thread via web search (as I did today),
I'll post how I solved it when it happened to me.
the issue was caused by importing 3 months of camera roll using Image Capture (I do not use iPhoto anymore).
after importing all the items, I selected them all in the Image Capture window and clicked on "delete".
a few ghost files (video only) were left behind, all of them 0 Bytes.
tried disconnecting/restarting the device but the issue persisted.
no way to delete the video references from the mac.
had to go in camera roll and manually delete them all.
using "select' on the top right you can tap them and delete after they are all checked.
hope this helps someone
u.

  • I have an iPhone 4 with legacy photos in a DCIM file from iPhone 3.  When I try to import to my PC only the photos taken on the iPhone 4 are available/appear.  How do I get the DCIM album to download?

    I have an iPhone 4 with legacy photos from an iPhone 3 now stored as a DCIM file on the i/Phone 4.  When I try to download the photos to my PC only the photos taken with the iPhone 4 are recognized and downloaded.  I can still see all the photos on the DCIM file but my PC doesn't recognize them.  How do I download these old photos?

    I've tried both ways.  My Computer locates the device but doesn't see the old photos, only listing the new photos.
    I no longer have the iphone3; I just transferred the photos from the 3 to the 4. 
    Was there a format change or file type change or did the transfer process create something different?  I can still see and access the old photos if I go to that album on the phone.  But that's the only place where I can see them or access them.

    HI,
    If your old version of iTunes is still working - then I sugest you stick with that.
    iTunes 11 is a lousy update - It will not retain your playlists, you can't find and delete duplicates... and a whole arry of oyher issues. (have a look around this forum to see how many issues IT11 gives people)
    Just a friendly advise and warning :-)

    I have Iphone 5 and have an issue with deleting part of the messages in Imessage conversation. The trash button is not displayed to delete part of the imessage. I see only delete all option. Is it a bug?

    Hi An Iphone user,
    If you are having issues deleting a specific message from an iMessage conversation (not seeing the Trash icon), you may want to double-check that you are following the steps outlined in the following article:
    How do I delete a message?
    To delete a message, tap and hold the message bubble, then tap More.
    Tap Delete All to delete all the messages. Or tap to select the messages you want to delete, then tap .
    After you delete a message, you can recover it only by restoring from a backup.
    Send messages with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

  • Playing an mp4 file from my iPad on to a TV screen.

    I am playing an mp4 file from my ipad 2 on to a TV screen. I would like to see the video on both the TV screen and my ipad. Currently the video can only be seen on the TV screen.
    I am using an HDMI cable with an adapter to connect the ipad to the TV screen.
    Thanks
    Dave

    OK, I can get the video to play, but I have no ability to scroll thru the movie.

  • Will imovie 11 (version 9.0.8) be able to import the MP4 files from the Canon Vixia HF R 400?

    I realize the camcorder is just available now but I assume the MP4 files are the same as in the R300 from last year. I just want to be sure that imovie 11 will be able to import andedit the MP4 files from the canon Vixia before I purchase the camera.I understand that imovie has trouble with some MP4 files and works fine with other ones. I don't want to transcode into another format and generate gigantic files of data. I also understand that the videos with AVCHD has better video but I prefer a easier workflow. I imagine one day Apple in it's infinate wisdom will eventually support AVCHD.

    two options:
    • not exhausting - go to
    http://help.apple.com/imovie/cameras/en/index.html
    these devices are tested by Apple 'bout functioning with iM
    choose one = works. guaranteed.
    • exhausting - learn about codecs, containers, bitrates .....
    in short: AVCHD is a standard, details e.g. here at wiki
    standard means: some settings are conform, some not. example: no 120fps in AVCHD.
    note: there's vers1 and there's a new vers.2 .......
    mp4 - just a container, or 'wrapper'.
    means: like a box of chocolate, you could never know what's inside. example: 120fps in mp4.
    but ........
    AVCHD nor mp4 are 'codecs'.
    here comes h.264 - could be in a AVCHD/mts, could be in a mp4.
    iMovie: respects standards.
    does NOT import non-standards-conform files/videos/datas.
    encode a 1080video as 30p/h264 = would 'fit' into AVCHD
    encode a 1080video as 60p/h264 = would 'fit' into AVCHD2 (=not supported by iM11), would 'fit' into mp4 (= iM11 supported) ...
    mp4 is more ... 'open minded', more general; lacks therefor stuff like gps location data and other meta-tags.
    the next iM13 should support AVCHD2, it's bigger brother FCPX does .....
    last word:
    iMovie is NO general 'cuts all movin' pictures'-app!
    it is meant for consumer convenience with consumer devices.
    => supports the most 'popular' standards. not anything.

  • Settings when using mp4 files from Samsung GS3

    Hi,
    Does anyone know the settings I should select when creating a New PE10 Project and using mp4 files from a Samsung Galaxy S3 mobile phone?
    Thanks

    Ms Spielberg
    If you are using video files from the Samsung Galaxy S3, from what I have read, it offers 1080p up to 30, that being 1920 x 1080 @ 30 progressive frames per second. Is that correct? If so, please consider.
    The project preset should match the properties of your source media. In setting the Premiere Elements 10 Windows project preset (new project dialog), the choice of one of the FIip project presets range from frames sizes 640 x 480 to 1280 x 720. So, they would not be a match.
    Consequently, I would ask you to consider the project preset if your source media from this Samsung Galaxy S3 are as I have read 1080p30.
    NTSC (or PAL as the case may be)
    DSLR
    1080p
    DSLR 1080p30 or DSLR 1080p30 @ 29.97
    In Premiere Elements 10 after you set the project preset, then you import your media with Get Media.
    a. If you can connect your phone to the computer, you could explore Get Media/Flip/AVCHD/Cameras, Phones or Removable Drive as I think SG is suggesting.
    or
    b. If your phone files are saved to a hard drive location, then Get Media/Files and Folders.
    Are you also asking for export suggestions?
    Thanks.

  • Download uploaded mp4 files from MediaSense

    Hi Team,
                                  Currently i have a media Sense server where i have so many mp4 files uploaded by one of my team mate. i want to download those mp4 files from media sense server. But when i checked in Media File management there is only one option that is play, there is no option to download the file. When i checked help for that page it is mentioned like "depending on your browser, you can right click the green arrow and select an option to download the file to a location of your choice" . I tried in IE,Chrome,Firefox, but in none of the browsers i don't see download option when i right click on play button. Can some one please help me to download the file. 
    Is there any other way to download those files?
    Note: if this is not the right community to ask this question , please redirect me to the correct one.
    Thanks in advance,
    Sasikumar.

    Does Youtube have a download link? I think you might need an add-on for that.
    If you used Firefox's Reset feature, you probably lost the extension that was providing this function, or which was broken, depending on how you look at it. Can you find an "Old Firefox Data" folder on your desktop? It can be difficult to figure out the names of your old extensions because they often are saved in folders named with long strings of numbers and letter (unique IDs).
    Maybe if you describe how the link/button/menu used to look someone will recognize which extension it was. For example, the icon/button for [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/video-downloadhelper/ Video DownloadHelper] looks like 3 different colored balls.

  • QTP can't read .mp4 files from JVC HM-100 cam...

    My QTP gives me the following message when I try to open an .mp4 file created with a JVC HM-100 camera: "The movie could not be opened. The movie contains some invalid data."
    VLC and iSkysoft (video converter) can read the file with no problem, so it can't be corrupt. I put a similar post in a thread about the JVC cam, but no one knew a solution.
    Right now, it looks like the only way to convert the mp4 files from the JVC HM-100 is to buy a video converter software for $50 because QuicktimePro, which cost me $30, can't do this, even though it claims to support mp4. Any ideas here?
    So in lieu of QTP, are video converters like iSkySoft reliable enough to use? Do I risk losing any quality? Am I forced to pay for 3rd party functionality again that I already paid for in QTP?
    Thanks... David

    Problem solved.
    I used the FREE software ffmpegX to convert the mp4 files.
    So why does FREE software do the job that PAY software like QTP promises to do, but can't deliver?
    Hmmm?

  • How do I batch delete all my protected music files from iTunes.

    Hi, in a moment of stupidity, while I was working on a backup folder of my friends files (from his broken computer - copied them to my PC so he could get them back onto his new PC) I managed to copy all of his songs from his iTunes folder into my iTunes library. I don't know how I managed to do this, maybe it was the fact that I was really tired at the time.
    I own all my music - none of my music is copy protected (it is either downloaded from legal sites where the bands themselves [usually unknown or alternative artists] release their music, or I ripped the music from CD's I bought) and all of his music is copy protected.
    Now thing is, I have upgraded my PC before realising I did this, so now I don't have the original iTunes library (formatted PC and reinstalled XP from scratch) - is there any tools out there that will find and delete all your copy protected files from iTunes?
    I could go through song by song and when it comes up with the "Authorise computer - This computer is not authorised to play "******" Would you like to authorise it" and delete those songs, but as this is a very slow and time consuming process and considering I have 8,551 songs, I would prefer a faster way.
    I would go and re-rip all the songs, as I have the original discs, but this would take very long, and put quite a bit of strain on my CD drive, and this would not account for all the songs I have spent years finding on the internet/demo songs from friends bands.
    Any help is appreciated, as I would love to be able to remove all of his songs so they don't keep popping up in my iTunes library
    Thanks in advance.
    Dale.

    I have never tried this and am not at a computer with iTunes, but can you delete from a Smart Playlist? If so, you could make a smart playlist that shows songs that are of kind Protected ACC. Then select all and delete from that playlist. But I am not so sure if you can delete from a smart playlist.

  • How to transfer mp4 file to iphone 5c

    how to transfer mp4 file to iphone 5c?

    The codec of the .mp4 file should be H.264 or MPEG-4.
    If you think it’s difficult to understand, you can use the iPhone PC Suite to transfer the .mp4 file to your iPhone 5c. The software will automatically convert the video file to iPhone supported format before transfer.

  • .MOV files from iphone - audio but no video in QuickTime

    iphone 3gs, latest DirectX and Quicktime. Downloaded .mov files from iphone don't play correctly in QuickTime. The audio is there but there is no video, just a black screen.
    I tried switching the video to "safe mode". This does show the video, but its terribly choppy and unwatchable.
    I believe something changed recently with an update to itunes or QuickTime. Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    How do I get this file to play?
    By installing the proper video codec component if available as advised by application. See the video "Format:" entry in finder "Info", QT "Inspector", or "Property" window. Basically you must have the same playback decoder installed on your second machine as was used to encode the video the first. Sounds as if the component configurations on the two machines are not the same.
