Problems importing videos recorded from my iPhone 3GS to iPhoto

I am having problems importing any videos recorded from my iPhone 3GS onto iPhoto. iPhoto keep giving me the following error:
"Error downloading Image. iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image."
If anyone else is having the same problem, please advise on how to fix.
Thanks,

I am having the same problem...
and Image Capture ( didn't know we would normally be able to use it, but you can) also give an error
"Import Error"
Now I have used "ITimelapse pro" to transfer some timelapse movies (about 3 that are about 30 to 60 seconds long) that I made to the phone's photo library.. and I has a very long video that I mistakenly made - (15 minutes long or so) and I "trimmed" it to be a few minutes long. -- and used "JotNot" to send a photo to the photo library... otherwise I have only some regular photos (about 40 ) and about 2 regular videos in the library.
so any suggestions... ( I am emailing all that I can to myself ... maybe ridding everything will help)

Iphoto isn't importing video's from my iphone 3GS

I've taken pictures and recorded videos on my iphone. When I connect it to my imac G5 running Leopard, iphoto opens up as expected and I'm able to import the contents of my phone. However, only the pictures get imported, not the videos. I'm thinking maybe I have an older version of iphoto (version 4.0.3) that doesn't recognise videos, or I read somewhere that it might be something to do with the fact I'd previously been using an ipod touch and my computer is confusing the two and not looking for videos.
Over to you.

I found a way to get video's in my Camera Roll on the iPhone 3GS. my phone is NOT jailbreaked !
First i installed the app on my mac called, Disk Aid
(make sure you have latest version so it works with OS 3.0.1 or later)
this app makes it possible to enter your iPhone trough USB.
(you can browse only Media Folder or Disk Aid Folder)
when it does, go to Media Folder>DCIM , the place all your Camera photo's and video's are stored.
now you only have to drag your photo's or video's to that place. Make sure you have them named the same as the other photo's in that map. example: IMG_0009.JPG for video: IMG_0034.MOV
for a video make sure you have them converted right!
(QuickTime Pro or other 3rd party software)
codecs: H.264, AAC
colorprofile: SD (6-1-6)
That's all, have fun!

Why doesn't iMovie import video directly from the iPhone 3GS

We here quite frequently that Apple offers a better overall experience than the competition because they make the whole widget... I was SHOCKED to discover that iMovie will NOT recognize my iPhone 3GS... Doesn't Apple make both products and their OS's (Yes, I know they make both)?
iMovie imports video from my FLip HD just fine... This is very disappointing... And yes, I figured out how to do it... Import it to iPhoto, export it as a .mov and import it to iMovie... This is crazy, Apple!

What I find shocking is that if you open iMovie and select "Import from Camera..." the iPhone doesn't show up.
For further clarification, I have turned off the option to open iPhoto or Image Capture automatically when a camera is attached. I don't that option to import photos from my camera because they are automatically imported to my computer via the eye-fi card in my camera.
I do expect that when I open iMovie manually and select to "Import from Camera..." that the iPhone will be recognized as a camera. My FLip mino HD is recognized and it is awkward to then have to open iPhoto, import the movies, export the movies and then import them to iMovie to modify them and move them to my Apple TV.
I have provided Apple my Feedback on both their iPhone and iMovie sites.

How can I share HD video recorded from my iPhone 4s

How can I send a video recorded on my iPhone 4s to someone so they can view it in HD? I tried sending the video via mms, but I understand the video will be compressed and the viewer will not see the recording in HD

Hey Ravengirlaa,
Great question! The answer is going to depend on how the photos were originally organized:
A) The albums were synced to your iPhone from iTunes
B) The albums were manually created on your iPhone from photos in the Camera Roll
The following excerpt would apply for situation B:
excerpt from page 71 of the iPhone User Guide - http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
If the photos were synced from your computer, please refer to this article (section "To delete photos and videos from your device"):

Problem importing video clips from Panasonic SDR-S10

Hi, can anyone help? In iMovie I try to import my video clips from my Panasonic Camcorder SDR-S10 and it shows clips there, but when you click on them the clip icon disappears. Try to import and it doesn't import anything? Any ideas.
Anyone know a workaround for importing clips from this camera I get a lot of problems with a Mac when using this one.
Thanks
Hayley

I have the same camcorder and have used Visual Hub to convert the .mod clips to .dv files which work just fine with iMovie. You can try out Visual Hub for clips less than 2 minutes in length in the trial mode. I think it costs about $20. Also, I've heard you can buy an mpeg2 plug in for Quicktime Pro that will let you use those files. I think that is also about $20.
Also, search the apple discussions for ".mod" and you'll find a lot of other similar questions to the one you asked.
Hope this helps.

Problems importing HD recording from Sony HD-HCR3

Apologies but I am new to this!
I just bought the Sony HCR3 - when I try to import (via Firewire) HD movies, the picture is very jumpy, single clips are getting broken up and the audio is distorted (voice sounds an octave lower) even though the playback on the camcorder is fine. I don't have any problems when I record and import in DV format.
I have upgraded to iMovie 6, but have yet to upgrade from 10.3.9 (which means that some features of iMovie HD don't work). Is this the reason for my problem?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Well, I have a similiar problem with the Sony HDR-HC1E.
The imported movie ist too slow, so it sounds an octave lower. This problem occures on my powerbook g4 and on my powermac g5. There are no problems with imovie 5.
Nobody could tell me why this problem occures....
You should go bac to imovie 5. iDVD 6 has also some problems.
Sincerely....

TS3999 Sync Problem: Home iCal Calendar from iMac - iPhone 3GS via iCloud

I'm unable to sync Home iCal Calendar from iMac (Snow Lion) to iPhone 3GS via iCloud - events appear correctly on iCloud.com but not pushed to iPhone. However Home events created on the phone sync fine in other direction (appearing correctly on iCloud & iCal) - but they can only be amended on the phone.
My other Work iCal Calendar works perfectly in both directions.
Have tried various suggestions to fix but to no avail. Any help appreciated - thanks.

Really appreciating your help/time; it's so frustrating to try & sort this on your own!
So when I switch off iCloud on the phone, it asks me if I wish to retain the events from the iCloud - and I select it to delete them.
Then I go back into Calendar app, and I press on Calendar button(top left) I can see the On My iPhone" Calendar. If I select this to display I can see the events previously described. I then shut the phone off.
Having restarted the phone, I go back into iCloud settings to switch Calendars on and to at last answer your question (!!) there is no question to ask me to merge data (this good as it would duplicate entries)
Going back into Calendar app, it claims to be displaying both Home & Work calendars, but it only shows events in the Work calendar.
I've tried this a number of times and it is totally consistent in its failure to take Home events from the iCloud; I can't see anything different in the setup of the 2 calendars - do you think its a bug?
Thanks again

Can't import video (.mov) from Coolpix P100 camera to iPhoto

I can't import any .mov files from my Coolpix p100 camera to iPhoto (iPhoto '08, version 7.1.5) Mac OS X 10.4.11. I can import pictures no problem when I use a firewire connection from the camera to my iBook G4. This is the message I get:
Unreadable files.
The following file could not be imported. (The import failed)
DSCN0573.MOV
For example, I can see the .mov file under "Information" before I try to import. It says it is a QuickTime movie, 274 MB. I can watch it on my camera.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

Is there a chance the .mov file could be imported via some
third party (free ware) video software into the Mac, such as
VLC or a shareware video utility; perhaps Snapz ProX?
Another idea may be to see if the iMovie software would do it.
This topic has come up several years ago, and depending on
the model or brand of camera in some cases, different paths
were taken to get the product and files to work.
In a few cases, some proprietary software provided limited
support for a camera's feature set; some didn't work for Mac.
When the camera creates a hybrid image file, and their own
software was not available in a Mac format, another may be
available to provide the missing link.
There may be some third-party plug-ins that may allow the
QuickTime you have, to open and view the .mov files; not
sure what exact ones would qualify, however, to do it.
With my cameras, which can create .mov files, I have not
experimented with them; as both are essentially still image
cameras and know the results wouldn't suit my projects.
Hopefully one of the video player software products can help.
Good luck & happy computing!

HT2729 After import video,s from iphone to HP com puter all the video,s are sideways, how to fix this ?

After import video,s from iphone 5 to a HP computer (Windows 7 ) all the video,s are sideways ! No problem with ipad4 Newest)
How to fix this!

Check to see if the phone has enough free space on it. Go to Settings->About on you iPhone and see how much free space there is. It's likely that your phone is out of free space. You could also try using a free peice of software called Pic Share It, to drag and drop the video directly to your iPhone wirelessly. Here's a video showing how it works.
