Transfered videos from iPhone to iPhoto, then what?

So I was noticing, and actually I think maybe it has always done this, that after I import photos and videos from my iPhone 4 (and previously with my 3GS) to iPhoto, and I opt to delete the photos and videos from the phone, while the photos will end up getting synced back to the phone, which is what I want, the videos never end up back on my phone. Is there any way to get it to do this? I realize I could then take the photos from iPhoto and copy them over to iTunes and then sync them, but I don't understand why they don't just end up back on my phone like photos do, synced over from iPhoto. They are in iPhoto, just like my photos, but only the photos sync back. Am I missing something here?
FYI, the issue here is really that the whole mechanism is klunky from the ground up. I shouldn't have to import them from the phone, then delete them, then copy them back, just so that the photos no longer show up in the "camera roll", but are available on the phone. Surely there's a way this could be handled much more smartly.

And just like that I figured it out. In iTunes, under the "Photos" tab for the iPhone, there's a checkbox for "include videos". Sure enough, checking that checkbox did the trick. Hopefully somebody else finds this helpful!

  • I transferred video from iPhone (4S) to iPhoto and then to iMovie9.  Footage in iMovie is stretched.  Is there a way to fix that?

    I transferred video from iPhone (4S) to iPhoto and then dropped that footage into iMovie9.  The footage is there in iMovie but it is stretched.  I have tried to adjust using aspect ratio options but that doesn't work.  Is there a way to fix that in iMovie (or at any other point in the process)?

    It shouldn't be this way.  Did you shoot the video in portrait or landscape mode?  Many people shoot in portrait mode because they typically hold the phone upright.  This is really shouldn't happen if the videos are shot in landscape mode.

  • Transfering videos from Iphone 4 to laptop, the video is rotateed 90 degrees

    After transferring videos from Iphone to laptop, Why would the video be rotated 90 degrees?

    IIRC, the iPhone is configured that "normal orientation" for video recording is horizontal with the home button on the right.  If you are holding it in a different orientation, then that would be encoded in the EXIF data on the recirded video file.  Now if that file is edited and that EXIF data is removed or altered, then you could see what you are seeing.  It is also possible that the player yo uare playing the videos back in does not properly support the EXIF data embedded in the videos, which would have the same results.  When I record video on my iPhone 5, the playback on my Mac works properly.

    I don't believe OS X has the ability to receive AirPlay (which is what you're using).  There's some advice on the matter on the Wikipedia page, though:

    Scroll down to "Third-party software implementations".

  • Can't sync videos from iPhone to iPhoto

    Just bought a MacBook Pro. My daughter has sent me some videos from her iPhone to mine. When I try to sync from iPhone to iPhoto, the photos sync fine, but iPhoto doesn't see the videos, which are saved in the camera roll. Yes, I have checked "include videos" in the iTunes menu.
    The funny thing is that on my old G4 PowerBook, iPhoto would see the videos and import them just fine.
    What am I not doing?

    iPhoto should import them just fine. Have you tried repairing permissions on your Macbook, then re-booting & see if iPhoto will see & import them.

  • How do I get videos from iPhone to iPhoto?

    I upgraded to 5.1 and iCloud, photostream etc, but am finding it much more complicated than the previous way I sync'd my iPhone.
    I used to plug in my phone, press Sync, all my photos would zoom from my Camera Roll to iPhoto, including any videos I had taken on my iPhone, then it would ask me if I wanted to delete the contents of my Camera Roll.  Apart from the fact that I would have liked to 'protect' a few photos before deleting them all, this worked well.
    I don't go on my MacBook every day, so I quite often build up quite a few photos on my iPhone.
    Now, only my photos sync, they don't do it quickly when I press sync, but slowly and in bits n bobs. The videos don't sync and I am not asked if I want to delete photos after they have been synced.
    Can anyone help? 

    And now every time I plug my USB to my iphone in, it comes up for about a minute in iPhoto, then disappears and I can't see it in Devices at all.
    I am sorry that I can't understand this, but I thought the point of Apple was that it was based on an intuitive system.  It used to be, because (as you can tell!) I am not techy, and yet it all worked perfectly and I have been yelling about it from the rooftops since 2003.
    But since upgrading to 10.7 and 5.1, iCloud and all the rest of it, everything has just gone to xxx. I am spending half my life fiddling around, trying to understand how the wretched system works and I am so fed up.
    My Word/Excel etc don't work any more, my iPhoto has gone to **** and I can't make my iPhone sync with my computer any more. I don't really understand the benefits of photostream and I am so hacked off with the whole thing that I feel like opting out altogether and writing on a wax tablet.
    I would be embarrassed, but I know that I am not alone. There are loads of people saying the same thing. You techies might think it is pathetic, but computers are meant to be for everyone, busy mums included.
    Sorry, rant over. Going to bed.

  • Moving photos and videos from iPhone, to iPhoto, to external harddrive. Videos come out to be less than 0 seconds. HELP, PLEASE!

    Hi guys! This is my first discussion and I'm not exactly sure what kind of details to put, so I'll just be as detailed as possible. I hope I don't confuse anyone. I really REALLY need help!
    I've got a 16 GB iPhone 4S and always find myself filling up my phone with photos and videos, so I upload both onto my MacBook Pro 2011. Now that my laptop's getting full... I'm uploading all of those backed up photos and videos onto a 500 GB Seagate external harddrive.
    All of my photos open just fine. It's the videos that I'm worried about. All of the videos that I've loaded from last year (2013) are playing well. Anything before 2013 aren't opening properly. I'm opening the video files directly from my external harddrive. It goes:
         1) Opens up QuickTime Player
         2) Shows that it's converting
         3) Shows a frame from the video, but the time says 0:00-0:00.
    I had a LOT of videos from before 2013 and would like to retrieve them if possible. They're no longer on my laptop though. All of the video files are 20 KB - 980 KB and has to convert on quicktime player for me to watch them. Some of the video files I've tried out were from 2013 and 24 KB and opened just fine. I've opened both ~20KB - ~900 KB video files before 2013 and they're all 0:00-0:00 time length. Anyone else having this problem? Thanks!

    I have the same issue.  We've lost all of our older videos including videos of our children and since passed family dog.  I have no idea why this has happened.  I have backed up religiously, but now even the archived photos are 0 seconds.  So frustrated with iPhoto.  This is the second time this awful software mysteriously lost pictures or videos.  Last time it was the birth pictures of my second daughter.  And now this.  Horrible horrible product. 
    Older videos are all now just 0:00:00 in length.  We did not alter these at all!!
    HELP!!

  • Receive an error message when trying to import any videos from iphone to iphoto on my desktop.  Help?

    I have 6 videos on my iphone, varying in length from 24 seconds to 11 minutes, that will not import to iphoto.  I have tried to import them as a group and individually but get a message that 'there was a problem accessing the file.'  I had no difficulty importing over 300 photos from the phone to the desktop.  Any suggestions/help would be appreciated.  Thanks.  Anne

    See if you can use Image Capture to upload the video files to a folder on the Desktop and then import from there into iPhoto.

  • Transferring videos from iPhone 4 to MacBook Pro

    I need help!!!  I regularly import my photos/videos from my iphone 4 onto my macbook pro.  I do it through iPhoto, and then export the files onto the hard drive so that I can save in multiple places (hard drive, USB, etc.)  Going thru everything today, I realized that none of my video files (.mov) play from my hard drive!!  These are precious videos of my 3 kids that I hoped to keep forever and I'm afraid it's all lost as I've already deleted them off my phone after every import to the macbook!  Someone please help!!!
    Am I doing this the wrong way? Is there another way to transfer video files from my phone to macbook and have them still play normally?

    Ok I can try that for next time...but is there any way I can get my other files to work properly? They play fine in iPhoto but I'd like to be able to save them to a USB drive.

  • Problem transfering video from iPhone 4s to iPhone 3gs

    i recorded a video on iPhone 4s and i need to transfer that same video on to my iPhone 3gs can any help me with this problem?

    However, when I go to play them back in the latest Quicktime player the colours are wrong, mainly coming out purple.
    On an XP system, the first thing I'd try would be the "Disable Direct3D acceleration in QuickTime" section of the following document. (iTunes uses QuickTime for video display, so the same basic troubleshooting step applies.) Restart the QuickTime Player prior to checking to see if the settings change has had any effect:

  • Transferring video from iphone 3GS

    Does anyone know if there is a way to import video recordings directly to ones iTunes Movie library? (As opposed to ending up imported into iPhoto)
    Use Case :
    - I want iphone photos to end up in iPhoto
    - Videos in iTunes Movies category
    So that both seamlessly are available on my Apple TV, as opposed to current, which is only photos.

    Quick follow up, it's of course possible to just drag and drop movies imported into iPhoto from the iPhone, over into iTunes library. This works fine, no formatting or converting is going on during the import from what I can tell. So the iPhone does indeed record in a format compatible for iTunes to begin with.
    The trouble with drag and drop of course it's cumbersome, as well as the headache of having to delete the iPhoto original ones, unless your ok with having duplicates of the video. One each in itunes and iphoto respectively.
    Any ideas anyone ?

  • HT1338 Issue w/playing videos from iPhone in iPhoto

    QuickTime isn't playing videos in iPhoto downloaded from my iPhone 5.  How do I fix this? Thanks!

    Create a smart album with the following criteria:
    Filename    contains    .m
    This will group all of your movie/video files together, .mov, .m4v, and mp4.  Then check to see if the lates videos are included.  If the are Command (right) - click on one of the videos and select Show Event from the contextual menu.
    The the videos are not in the library launch Image Capture (located in the Applications folder) and use it to manually upload the videos to a folder on the Desktop.  From there import them into iPhoto.

  • Problem transferring videos from iPhone 4

    Recently, the videos I transfer show up as having 0 KB for size and are not recognized by Quicktime. They play properly on my phone. I am transferring the videos via Windows Explorer. It started happening around the time I updated to iOS 5, but I can not say for sure it was after.

    Put your phone in airplane mode.  The problem is that you are transferring large streams of data and the transfer protocol is getting interrupted by your iphone attempting to update apps in the background (which most people forget about happening constantly).  I had quite a frustrating time with this problem especially since I have small kids and we cherish all of our photos and videos.
    Another tip...  to make sure you don't lose anything in transfer (who knows, it could still happen but I've found in airplane mode its a LOT less)  just copy files over and then once you validate they are good to go on your hard drive, then go back and delete them on your phone.
    Did this work for you too?
