Large file transfer from iPhone 4S to MacBook Pro

Hello,
I have a video that's nearly 10 gigs on my iPhone 4S that I can't get on to my MacBook Pro.  I've taken a few videos that are around three to six minutes and haven't had any issues.  I get a message telling me, "Error Downloading Image, iPhoto can not import your photos because there was a problem downloading one of your images."
I'm stumped.  I really don't want to delete and lose this video, but I can't be having a 10 gig video on my iPhone forever.  Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Try getting it on the Mac using something other than iPhoto.
In Windows, it would simply be a matter of opening Explorer and copying the file(s).  I'm fairly certain that Mac has a similar feature, but I'm not familiar with Macs.
Not really an iPhone issue... more of an issue with the application being used to import the file.

  • Extremely slow file transfer from wifi server to MacBook Pro

    I am experiencing extremely slow file download speeds from my wifi server to my MacBook Pro. I have just carried out a test - transferring a 16.5Mb folder took 8 mins, 24 secs. Transferring the same folder to my iMac G5 takes less than 3 seconds. Also, copying the same folder from my MacBook Pro to my wifi server only takes 22 seconds. Any suggestions PLEASE!!!!!

    How to transfer photos from iPhone 4s to MacBook Pro? The sync is not working. The software is upto date on both the phone as well as on the laptop. The 4s uses ios6 and laptop is Snow Lion (latest version).

  • Cannot upload any images from iPhone 4 to Macbook Pro. Please help!

    Hi all,
    I'm pretty much tearing my hair out with this one, I don't know what to do - I simply cannot upload any photos from iPhone 4 to Macbook Pro.
    This problem appeared out of the blue. I am trying to upload to iPhoto - not working. I have clearing the cache - not working. Tried the Dropbox app - not working and the option has now disappeared altogether. Tried Image Capture - not working. I went and had my iPhone replaced altogether - still not working. I thought it might be a problem with my iPhone or a problem with the back-ups or sometthing so I plugged in my boyfriend's to scope it out - still not working. I have restarted all devices many times. I have read through posts and posts about this and cannot find an answer.
    iPhoto says: unreadable files - unrecognized format - not true!!
    Image Capture just says there is an error importing.
    Any help would be much appreciated - it's driving me mad!
    Thank you!

    Can it be possible to transfer photos from iPhone 4 to MacBook Pro via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or apps from the app store?

    You may want to take a look at DropBox instead. Details here:

    You may consider doing that, it largely depends on what you want the movie for once you have it on your Mac, sending it to YouTube is likely to cause it to lose much of its quality.

  • Bluetooth from iPhone 3GS to MacBook Pro not working?

    I am having (seemingly) bluetooth connection issues with "some" devices to my MacBook Pro.  I note:
    * Mouse pairs fine
    * iPhone 3GS does not remain connected (focus of this forum question)
    Error - after pairing my iPhone 3GS to my MBP I get an error:
    The Bluetooth Network is Unavailable
    There was an error connecting your device.  Make sure the device is turned on and in range.
    Notes:
    * MacBook Pro details:
      Model Name:          MacBook Pro
      Model Identifier:          MacBookPro6,2
      Processor Name:          Intel Core i7
      System Version:          Mac OS X 10.7.3 (11D50b)
    Background: Ultimately interested in teethering my iPhone 3G data connection to my MacBook Pro, but for the moment the bluetooth connection won't even remain in place.

    nothing in these articles helped unfortunately - some more clarification:
    tethering via USB from iPhone 3G to MacBook Pro => WORKS
    tethering via Bluetooth => does NOT work, with bluetooth connectioning not staying up
    During pairing process:
    devices "see each other"
    pairing appears to work, then you see that the connection drops out directly afterwards (almost immediately)
    on iPhone message = "Connection Unsuccessful - XXX's MacBook Pro is not supported"
    on MacBook - it's just the connection in Bluetooth options shows up as not connected
    in /var/log/system I see some bluetooth related lines:
    Apr 18 19:33:14 Gregs-MacBook-Pro bnepd[18950]: [IOBluetoothDevice instantiateChannel] BluetoothHCIAuthenticationRequested failed (0x0006), so retry

    Apr 18 19:33:53 Gregs-MacBook-Pro blued[22]: Removing Bluetooth configured device: 00-26-08-23-23-9d
    Any other ideas?  Is it a physical problem with my MBP?  but then again my bluetooth mouse stays connected ok.  And in terms of the iPhone well it tethers fine to the iPad via bluetooth....

  • Is there any way to sync notes from iPhone 4 to MacBook Pro?

    Is there any way to sync notes from iPhone 4 to MacBook Pro?

    If the phone doesn't power on and isn't seen by the computer then you wouldn't be able to pull data off it with the USB connection to your computer.
    You could pursue data recovery if the notes are very valuable, but the cost can be similar to having data recovered from a failed computer drive(possibly prohibitively expensive).

  • Is it possible to transfer photos, files from iphone 5s to macbook pro via bluetooth?

    Before I got the iphone 5s, I was using a Nokia phone.  I was able to transfer photos, files from my Nokia phone to macbook pro via bluetooth connections.  It was very simple and POSSIBLE (even though apple support staff said it was not possible to do so).  My macbook pro does NOT need to be paired with Nokia phone as long as it can DISCOVER the nokia phone and vice versa.
    Hence, after i got the iphone 5s recently, I'd expected both devices (iphone 5s and macbook pro) to communicate and connect via bluetooth as easily as Nokia phone.  However, I was disappointed to find out the iphone 5s kept "searching" for discoverable device even though my macbook DISCOVERED the iphone!!  Thus, I was NOT able to transfer any files from these two devices.
    Any apple technical people care to explain why BOTH are apple products cant work?  A Nokia phone and macbook can.  Very strange, isn't it?

    Althought,you can use bluetooth to transfer photos,files from iPhone to Macbook,However,it is so slowly,if you want to quickly copy photos/files from iPhone to Mac,you can use tools or software to help you,such as iStonsoft iPhone to Mac Transfer,This is a very professional tool,Hope this helps!

    Welcome to the world of Macs. See this introduction to Macs. It might be that you need to sync your iPhone with you MBP. To do this you would connect your iPhone to your MBP which should start up iTunes so you can sync music, vids, and possibly contacts.

    You don't. File transfer, by Bluetooth, is not supported on any iPhone. To do so wirelessly, you need an app like this:
