Movies and videos not appearing on iPhone.

I have an odd problem with movies (both those made by me and those purchased via iTunes) not appearing on my iPhone 3GS after syncing, even though they used to.
All of the options in iTunes are set correctly for syncing.
The strange thing is this: I can see the videos being transferred in the sync status bar in iTunes, but when I go into the iPod part of my iPhone and select Videos they are not there.
Also, if I delete the movies from iTunes, and then sync, the movies are actually copied back from the iPhone to my mac, even though they were not showing up on the phone.
Anyone have any ideas? I have selected and deselected every option I can think of and synced over and over again, but it makes no difference.
Regards,
Andy

Guys, I have finally solved my problem, and I hope this helps you too.
In the end my issue with the non-syncing of videos turned out to be due to the Restrictions settings. I had been experimenting with enabling the restrictions for various sorts of content so that my young daughters did not end up seeing, hearing or buying something that they ought not. This then stopped a number of videos from being seen on my iPhone, even though they were there.
So, if you have set any sort of restriction on your phone, check your settings : General > Restrictions > Allowed Content. It may be that this sorts out your some of your problems.
As a side issue, I am a a bit annoyed about this problem. Yes, I played around with the content restrictions, and then forgot about it, but maybe somehow, somewhere during or after a sync a message ought to pop up saying "You have enabled some content restrictions. Some of your audio or video content may not be available on this device"?
Anyway, hope this helps you all.

How to transfer photos and videos (not taken with iPhone) originally transferred from iTunes to iPhone back to iTunes.

I delivered mine MacBook Pro to a store to format it. Unfortunally they did not take full backup before they started and I lost al lot of pictures and videos. Most of it were taken with a ordinary camera and not with the iPhone and I transferred/synced it to iPhone using iTunes. I need to transfer this back to iTunes/iPhoto/iMovie. How can I do that?

You can e-mail them to yourself. You can not transfer them using iPhoto/iMovie/iTunes. The phones had to come from your computer in the first place to sync them from the phone, so they are not part any backup and no allowance is made to extract them from the phone. The photos on the phone are NOT stored at their full resolution, they were optimized for the smaller screen during the sync process that put them on the phone to begin with.
You may be able to find 3rd party software that will allow you to extract them, but I wouldn't waste the money when you have e-mail at your disposal.
You could also upload them to dropbox, box.net, skydrive, or any of the other numerous free cloud service, then download them to your computer.

Move and scale not working on iPhone 5 IOS7

The Move and scale in photos not working, used a photo and typed message for lock-sceen and I am having trouble resizing it so all the text appears.
Any ideas.
Thank you

This is another example of failing Apple programming. Reduce Motion will not fix this problem. All it will give you is a small message while you are attempting to Move & Scale the image which states, "Perspective Zoom: On", and then when you attempt to size the photo to see it, the message changes to, "Perspective Zoom: Off", yet you still can't size the photo to see it... It is a bug and I've submitted over 20 feedbacks to Apple regarding this. Apple is hiring inept incompetent programmers or else is loosing control or just F'ing up basic programming. The media drive to get products out with new exciting features has driven over the idea that you test the features well prior to release. Even if you turn off Reduce Motion, you still can't get the entire image on the screen. The image still "jumps" back to a zoomed in version, cutting off the edges. I don't see how Apple can be this awful. Their programming is famous for being simple and just working, not being complicated and NOT WORKING. This is why Microsoft is failing day by day and Apple is trying their best to join. I'm finding program errors like this day by day because Apple is not sticking to basics. How can Apple make a lock screen feature where you can't see the photo you want to see? Can they be this ignorant after so long having this bug in existence?
This is so ******* ANNOYING Apple. Get your thumb out of your *** and actually fix this!

Movies and videos not playing clearly

I have my movies converted to mp4 format. They play clearly in itunes. On my ipod touch they do not play clearly...the color is choppy. It looks like it's a high-def movie and the ipod can't support it. I have other movies that are older that I have converted and play perfectly fine.
Help?

Aside from Red, Green, and Blue, is it OK?
To reset:
Hold the Sleep+Home buttons until the Apple logo appears.
Ignore the prompt on the screen to slide to turn off.

HT204291 Using Azul media player app on my ipad Apple tv will only display sound but not video from movies. Any ideas on a fix. I set mirroring to on but it still does not display video. It will display photos and video recorded from my iphone.

Using Azul media player app on my ipad Apple tv will only display sound but not video from movies. Any ideas on a fix. I set mirroring to on but it still does not display video. It will display photos and video recorded from my iphone.

Here are the steps for AirPlay:
Before starting Azul from your (running iOS 5.x/6.x) home screen where have have all your apps we need to turn on mirroring
On your iPhone 4S/5 or iPad 2 or 3, double-click the Home Button to view your recently-used apps.
Swipe all the way to the right to until you see the icon.
Note: If the icon does not appear, go to the "If AirPlay Mirroring is not visible or available on your mobile iOS device" section.
Tap the icon to see the list of available AirPlay devices.
Enable AirPlay Mirroring in this menu by tapping on an available Apple TV, then sliding the Mirroring slider to ON.
Now you should be seeing your iPad/iPhone on your TV.
Start up Azul now and using the settings icon on the top right corner go to the option that say "TV out" ON.
When you do that you will see an Orange screen
Now click "Done" and play the video you want to watch and it will AirPlay

Bump!

Downloaded iBooks on my Macbook Pro but when I tried to sync it on my iPhone, this appeared: "Are you sure you want to sync books? All existing songs, movies and TV shows on the iPhone "My iPhone" will be removed". Love the iBooks as well as music. HELP!

Downloaded iBooks on my Macbook Pro but when I tried to sync it on my iPhone, this appeared: "Are you sure you want to sync books? All existing songs, movies and TV shows on the iPhone “My iPhone” will be removed". Love the iBooks as well as music. I really don't want to loose my music. HELP!!!

From the message you are receiving, it sounds like you either, 1) haven't synced your iPhone with that computer before, 2) are using two different iTunes accounts, or 3) both. If you have purchased music or movies through your iPhone with a certain iTunes account and purchased books through iBooks on your MacBook through a different iTunes account then there is no having both on the phone.
Apple doesn't allow content from two different accounts on a device at the same time. Also if two "libraries" have been created, one on the iPhone and one on the Macbook then syncing will erase data that is not associated with that particular library.
If you are using the same iTunes account for both, then you should be able to redownload any purchased items (music, books, etc.) from iCloud, assuming you have set that up.
I hope this helps!

Can I hook my iPhone 3 up to my tv and watch movies and videos? If so what cables do I need?

Can I hook my iPhone 3 up to my tv and watch movies and videos? If so what cables do I need?

I've done this before. First, I had the current acct owner call in and say it's okay for me to assume liability on the line. Next, I called in and explained that the owner already called and gave permission for me to assume the line. Notes were on the account. I was transferred to the assumption of liability dept, I accepted the terms and conditions and we were good to go. The old owner will get a final bill up until the point of transfer and you will get a new bill starting at the point of transfer.

You convert them to a format compatible with the iPhone, import them to iTunes, and sync them to the phone.

I have an iphone 4 and do not appear the weather in central notification ios7. how can I fix this?

I have an iphone 4 and do not appear the weather in central notification ios7. how can I fix this?

I figured it out. You have to have location services turned on specifically for the native weather app. My husband already did and that's why his was working. In the previous ios, I chose to disable location services to save battery and had the widget set to show weather for my home city regardless of where I was. Now that doesn't appear to be an option. Hopefully it won't drain my battery too much.

HT201269 why can I not get my photos and videos stored on my iphone to import to my new Ipad Air?

Why can I not get my photos and videos stored on my iPhone to import onto my new iPad Air ?

We don't know how to answer because we don't know what you are doing.
I can tell you that you cannot connect the two devices together to transfer content. And videos do not work in Photo Stream, but it does work for photos. However, you can only stream photos to the device after you have enabled photo stream on the iPad. Any photos that were already on the phone - before you turned on Photo Stream -will not sync to the iPad.
Look at this app for the videos.

Messages will send to my iPhone and will not appear on my mac until 15 minutes later, how do I fix this so there is not a waiting time?

I bought a brand new Macbook Air about a month ago, and up until a few days ago whenever I would receive or send a message on my iPhone, it would show up on my Macbook at exactly the same time. Now, a message may come to my iPhone and will not appear in my Macbook messages until 15 minutes or more later. How do I fix this?

Hello jendur,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are still receiving messages on both the iOS device and the Mac it just takes a while. Have you tried signing out and back on the Apple ID in messages on the Mac? I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,

I ordered a ringtone that came as a song and did not appear in a position to be added. It did not show up but came through as a song and asking me to add it to a playlist. This is not what I wanted to do and I promptly follow the prompt to "Buy"

I ordered a ringtone that came as a song and did not appear in a position status to be added. It did not show up but came purchased as a song and now asking me to add it to a playlist. This is not what I wanted to do and I promptly follow the prompt to "Buy more options" to get what I thought was a ringtone. Please help!

The ONLY place to buy a ready made ringtones is from the iphone itself from the itunes app, then "More">"Ringtones"
If you bought from your computer, then you need to create the ringtone. You can create a ringtones from just about any song/sound file for free.
Google will find several ways to do this.

Movie Inspector Does Not Appear

Movie Inspector Does Not Appear anymore...no matter what...anyone else ever have this problem, and found a solution??..tried repairing permisions, disc, etc etc....
running qt 7.5.5, and if possible, I do not want to update...
Message was edited by: tigger5

Hi Peter, Sorry, I am new at using this type of forum. Actually, someone else who knows iWeb just came by and thinks it is a conflict somewhere and not that the inspector is hidden somewhere. I did try the toggle but it did not show me anything important.
Tomorrow the same person is coming by to trash my old iWeb and clean house before reinstalling it. At this point I am not even sure this is the software I want to use long term. Do you think it is okay for simple pages that need to be maintained regularly or do you recommend another program? Thanks Adele

Movies and videos won't play since last update

since the recent update to itunes, my tv shows and movies will not play. as soon as a movie is selected to play, I get this popup with itunes has stopped working-checking for a solution-blahblahblah-closing program. Itunes is exited. have done the quicktime preferences uncheck 3D, have done the safe mode, have done the uninstall and reinstall itunes. nothing works. now, the unchecking 3D will allow the movie to play but at choppy audio and video, not enjoyable at all. i'm using my desktop for this (windows vista64 bit). Apple will allow not phone support for itunes and got the usual "oh, we're not aware of this problem", yet google it and you see it's pretty common. before the recent update (sep 2012), itunes worked fine. help please.

Hi Rick,
Interesting thread on Quark's forums. Mark Douma posts here, too. Very knowledgeable with the how fonts work in direct relation to the OS.
I just opened a bunch of OpenType fonts and launched Quark. No problems. But as Mark noted, you'll see the bug pop up after a restart and then try to open the document that uses the OpenType fonts.
However, I created a simple document using a half dozen different OpenType fonts and saved it to the desktop. Going by Mark's assumption about the cache files, I shut down my Mac and turned it back on. Essentially the same as turning it on the next day. Per his thoughts, I left the font cache files alone, activated the fonts again in Suitcase Fusion and launched Quark 6.52 by double clicking the document I had just created. Quark and the document opened without a hitch.
Per Mark's post at Quark's forums, Quark should have crashed since I'm doing this all under 10.4.10. That tells me that while the font cache files are the problem for those who need to keep clearing the cache files to get OpenType fonts to work each day, it's not due to OS 10.4.6+. Since I'm having no issues (and never have), I would have to believe it's more likely to be a damaged OS that's causing the problems. If the OS is damaged, then the likelihood that it will in turn write damaged cache files is high.
Or, Quark is damaged. It writes its own font cache files in the /Applications/QuarkXPress 6.0/jaws/ttfont/ folder. If you cleared only those cache files out and relaunched Quark, it might work without clearing the system cache files. That would tell you for sure that Quark needs to be reinstalled rather than the OS.
