Sorting photo and video files

Is there any way to control where files are stored I want to be able to save photos to more than one place if the phone can make its own sub folders for camera messaging and downloaded why can't we make our own folders and move files it seems like it should be a simple task is there even an app that'll do it?

I did help, I'm the one that told you about the files app. Don't get mad at me because you didn't get to know the basics of how the device works..You asked a question about what the app would do instead of going to the app to see.

  • Does anyone know how I can copy photo and video files from the Photo's app on my Macbook, to a USB stick or other external back-up?

    I've updated the software on my Macbook to the most recent version; regretting it now; and iPhoto has now become the Photo's app.
    The problem is I can no longer back up my photo and video files taken on my phone, saved to my mac, by copying them and saving them on a USB stick or other external hard drive.
    I could easily do this with iPhoto, but now Photos app does not let me copy the files when I select them.
    Does anyone know if there's a way to save, copy or back-up my photo's and video files: prefreably one that doesn't involve iCloud, as I don't feel like paying for more storage; there must be some way to access those photos/videos from my iPhone to save on another source?

    The problem is I can no longer back up my photo and video files taken on my phone, saved to my mac, by copying them and saving them on a USB stick or other external hard drive.
    Select the photos and videos in Photos and use the command "File > Export"  and select a folder on your USB stick to save the photos to.

  • HT1766 Recovering deleted photo and video files from iPhone4S

    I accidently restored my iPhone4S and deleted my photos and videos. I was in the process of uploading these files to my newly created iCloud account using iTunes, but during the early stages of the process the phone OS locked.  The only choice I was given was to restore and I chose to do so thinking that some of the media had been uploaded to iCloud. Is there any way that I can recover the deleted files?

    Without a backup there is nothing to restore.
    iTunes has nothing to do with uploading content to iCloud.

  • How can I use my iPhone 4 to view my iCloud photo and video files that I had from previous phones?

    I want to view my saved to iTunes and or I cloud  photos and videos, where do I go to see them and can I do it with my iPhone or do I need a pc?

    iTunes is not a photo management application so no photo are saved to iTunes.
    By videos, do you mean videos from iTunes or videos created with the iPhone?
    If from iTunes, they can be downloaded and played on any iOS device.
    If videos created with the iPhone, they are not synced to PhotoStream.
    Pictures taken with an iOS device are uploaded to and viewable in PhotoStream on any iOS device, Mac, or Apple TV using the same Apple ID.
    It is not currently possible to view a PhotoStream for a different Apple ID, but this will be changing with iOS7.

  • IPhone 5s photo and video file size

    Does anybody know what the filesize of photos and videos on the iPhone 5s will be?

    So that's it then. I ran out to an AT&T store, dropped $550 to do an early upgrade to the 3Gs and re-up my contract for another two years just so I could get the option to send photos via text message/mms and I can't do it because AT&T has a size restriction of 300kb? I spent two days trying to figure out why my text messages wouldn't complete sending. Hardly any of the photos in my photo album are that small. What a total frigging waste of my time and money, yet again.
    This whole MMS "improvement" was not thought through thoroughly by Apple and AT&T at all.

  • My ipod touch is broken and if i upgrade to ipad, will my music,photos and video files be transfered over to ipad?

    My ipod touch won't turn on and I have tried the reset button n home button a few times, it still won't work. So, I'm thinking of upgrading to Ipad but I do not want to lose my files from Ipod Touch. My question is, will all the files I have synced up to date be transfered over to the Ipad? My music, movies and photo files. Thanks

    Follow the instructions in this procedure to the letter. Here they are, with emphasis on some easily overlooked requirements.
    It needs some charge to get anywhere at all - that is addressed in Step 3:
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPod touch, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release only the Sleep/Wake button.
    Continue pressing and holding the Home button while you reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.Note: If you see the "low battery" screen, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears (iTunes icon and USB connector) release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the "recovery mode" alert ("iTunes has detected a phone in recovery mode").
    Use iTunes to restore the iPod.
    If you do not see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Select the iPod in iTunes and choose "restore from backup".
    If this procedure doesn't work, you have done all you can and only Apple may be able to help. Have them look at it while you shop for your iPad

  • Photo and video consolidation / management

    I have photo and video files in multiple locations and applications (desktop, Documents, iPhoto, external hard drive). I'm looking for a program or app that will search, find, and consolidate all my media files (hopefully getting rid of duplicates along the way). Any suggestions?  Plex has been suggested but I don't know much about it. 

    Photo Shack Pro is one that does work right out of your iPad's Photos Library.  It allows you to organize your photos into albums within libraries without duplicating any photos or creating a separate photo storage.  You can sort, search, title, comment, view detailed photo metadata, rotate photos, and zoom into full resolution up to 16 Mp.  Works with both photos and videos in your iPad's Photos Library, including those you've taken with the built-in cameras, or synced with the Camera Connection Kit.  It does all this without actually changing anything in your iPad's Photos Library.  It just provides a photo management interface into that library.

  • Advice for recovering from "The requested URL was not found on this server" error when browsing photos and videos on my iPhone 4S IOS5.1

    Im not quite sure how I got into this situation but I have fried my Iphone app photo and video library.  This demonstrates itself in 2 ways
    1. The above error message when I attempt to play videos older than a certain date.
    2. Photos older than a certain date - appear to be grainy suggesting that only the thumbnails are on the phone, and the full resolution photos have been blitzed.
    This coruption may have occured as I have replaced my Iphone 2 times in the last few months for various reasons, where each time I have restored them both using back ups I have made using icloud.  (I havent made an Itunes back up since the iclod came around)
    In reading the support forums - it suggest to restore from a back up version.  Is anyone aware if selectively restoring media content from an icloud back up is possible.
    I have 2 Back Up versions on icould.
    1- 13.5 GB
    2- 7.2 GB
    My hope is that the earlier 13.5 GB version has content I am looking for.
    I am kicking myself for not making the occassional itunes back up, or at least use Image capture as a more secure way of ensuring my personal content is not lost. (I am loosing faith with icould).
    Can someone suggest a good workflow for restoring from a cloud back up.  I have already downloaded the most recent photos using image capture onto my mac.
    Kiwi Grant

    Progress Update.
    I made a back of what existing phtos and Videos I had on my Iplhone.  I used Image capture to do this making an entire back up of photos and videoa that were still intact on the phone.
    Image capture is god for this purpose, as it does exactly what you ask it to do without applying any rules or squishing the files back into iphote (which might also be corupted) 
    Image capture wil do the basic function of retriving the contents of the phone and save them as native files on your hard drive.
    Once I did this I erased my iphone, and re intitialised it restoring an older back up from icloud.
    As the retore was happneing - I did retreive the missing files that cuased the intial beviour as above, and I could play the videos that were missing in the above scenerio.  The wierd ting was however that even though the source files were now back on the device, the thumbnail previews were missing. Where I ahd balck thumb nails for server portions of the resotred content.
    I then went to bed as the restore is a long process.  When I woke up the library had library had cleaned itself up.  Mysteriously the prcess had deleted the files missing the their thumbnails.
    This is very perculiar and bad behavior.
    I am now repeating the process, and will attempt to download the missing content as it is restored and prior to the phone trying to fix itself.
    Here are the lessons learned.
    DO NOT rely on Photo Stream to keep back ups and synchornise videos from you IOS device. IT DOES NOT SUPPORT THIS CAPBILITY
    DO NOT rely on iCloud Back Up alone - always fd an occassional iTunes back up or more reliably still always take a back up of photos and video files using Image Capture to be doubly sure that you a have backd up any content.
    DO THIS NOW - dont wait to loose your phone ofr have your phone repaired by replacement at the apple Store.  (I did both :-(

  • Transferring photos and video from iPhone 5S camera roll to windows folder, some files corrupt. Why?

    I back up all my photos and videos to my external hard drive every month or so in order to free up space in my phone.
    Now some folders once are transferred in windows contain some videos with jpeg extension in the file name and some photos with .avi extension too, as seen on the picture below.. Also I try to move files around in the folder and they freeze the computer resulting in a windows desktop reset. Any clues on what am I doing wrong so I can protect all my files for good?

    You can't transfer the photos and Videos into iTunes. You have to import them to your computer. It is a fairly easy process. This article explains it all for you.

  • Why is my Macbook pro with OS lion prompting me my startup disk almost full when i have deleted many files, photos and videos? Even thrashing them doesn't help. There seems to be an automatic space usage in the background

    I have deleted many unwanted files and apps and yet the available space keeps depleting every time i am using my Macbook Pro. I believe under the OS 10.7.4 one of the features is it backups or has backgrounding features which uses memory. Sometimes even when i hv 8GB space after using my Macbook Pro for say 2hrs surfing internet and using Pages which has a "Save Version" feature suddenly my 8GB goes down to 300+MB only and it starts prompting me "My Startup Disk is almost full" once it reaches 1GB space left. How can i get more space.... Please someone can help me? Do i need to re-format my hardisk??!! Any help out there is greatly appreciated.
    My original HD is 320GB. And i don't hv too many Apps installed. I do have abt 50-70apps. I do have many photos and videos stored in iPhoto's Library though.

    One thing I've noticed is that a shared tab pops up when I open the finder under "favorites" with a random connection. It's called hp68b... None of my friends that I live with have this and we all use the same internet. Two days ago when I would click it and click get info, it said it was a pc. When I checked it today it said it is a "sharepoint" and looks like a harddrive.
    I took it too the store after i spilt water on it but when I got it back it ran perfectly fine. I don't know a lot about computer so if somebody could help me. It says I'm connected to it and I can't disconnect or delete it. I don't know if the guy at the computer store put something in my computer and is sharing all my files.

  • CTrying to figure out why I can't load or copy any photo or video files from my laptop to my IPhone. I have a 3gs and am using the latest verson

    My laptop uses Windows 7 and, on several occasions, I've tried to copy photos and videos to my IPhone so I can take them with me but nothing seems to work. I always get a message saying that the devise is no longer connected or failed to work. This applies to all functions of copy/paste or drag and drop. I was told that it had something to do with the way I was set up with regard to syncing but I'm not able to find anything that changes it. I can copy files to my Cloud Drive on the computer but nothing ever transfers in from my phone either. What's up?

    What is selected under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?
    If the videos are in an iPhone compatible format and are in a folder of photos selected to be transferred to your iPhone under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, do you also have Include Videos selected under the Photos tab?
    Or if the videos are in an iPhone compatible format, they need to be in your iTunes library and can be selected under the Movies tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes to be transferred to your iPhone.

  • Imported files from my camera, a mixture of photos and videos, the videos (mp4 format on my Canon SX60 HS) always appear at the start of my library view.  What am I missing here?

    Even though I select sorting by capture time, the videos do not intersperse with the photos in chronological order.  What am I missing here?
    I have tried both putting them in a collection and viewing all pictures etc. to no avail.
    In Windows Explorer, I have them sorted by time taken successfully.  They all import into folders by date in "My Pictures", both photos and videos when I import them.
    I am running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit and LR5 CC edition.

  • TS3694 if restoring my iphone to the original setting, will all the files like photos and videos be deleted?

    if i restore my iphone to its original settings, will my files like photos and videos be deleted?

    yes a backup is saving everything.  backup will save everything on the phone at the moment of the backup. 
    that is if you want all your pics and anything else you have on it.  if you don't want or need anything on it then you can restore it to factory and that will remove everything of yours off of it and make it a factory phone.  default setup phone.  Then if you want the info back if you did a backup which is explained by Raxmee209.  then you can restore it to exactly how you had it the time you did the backup.
