Transferring videos to Iphone?

I'm not clear on how to setup my Itunes and Iphone so I can transfer videos (mp4) files at will. On my old video Ipod I could just drag a file from a folder onto the movies folder in the Ipod. Can't seem to do that now. Same goes for tv shows bought through itunes. I either have to synch it to always have everything or have nothing. How do I set this up so I have manual control?
Thanks!

Has to be synced. But you can change it so that only the ones checked will sync. Go into iTunes with your iPhone connected and scroll through the tabs. There will be an option to sync only the checked media. So uncheck the ones you do not want.
There is no drag feature available for iPhone like there is for iPod. It has to sync to folders and playlists

  • 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 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.

    how do i transferring video from iphone to mac, i synced it but nothing shows up

    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".

  • 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:

  • 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?

  • Transferring Video to iPhone 4

    Hi, I am using iPhone 4 since last couple of days ONLY. I have transferred music through iTunes but couldnt transfer Videos. I see some imported videos on my iTunes that can be transferred but not others.I cannot use iPhone as an USB. Is it the limitation ? I am not able to transfer pics as well. Please advice.

    1. If they are DRM protected, they won't play or transfer.
    2. Xvid and DVD formats are NOT supported.  See the iPhone/iOS specs:
    "Video formats supported: H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile Level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format."

  • Transferring video to iphone

    I just copied Dark Knight from the digital copy disc to my iTunes. iTunes shows the movie as watchable from my computer, but I cannot seem to view it on my iphone.
    In my iPhone, I went to iPod>video and it reports nothing. I then created a brand new playlist and saw that neither the movie, nor playlist transferred. I also cannot add the movie to existing playlists.
    But my iphone has no trouble syncing music, it just doesn't seem able to transfer video. Any help?

    Don't remember the answer but this same question has been asked and answered a few times before ( even about this particular movie).
    You can try a forum search.

  • 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 ?

  • 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.

  • Problems transferring videos to iPhone, iTunes and now QuickTime

    So I wanted to add a video to my iPhone 4S, but iTunes would not allow this, as the "file could not be played on this iPhone". After reading a few threads about this, I tried adding the video to iTunes to see if it appeared under "home videos" or "recently added", and then convert it, so it would be watchable on my iPhone, but nothing happened. After reading some other discussions where someone said you should open the video in QuickTime and export it to iTunes, I tried that, but QuickTime says "the movie's file format isn't recognized". I tried this with .mov, .mp4, .avi, and so on, but QuickTime doesn't want any file format. The files open and play in VLC just fine.
    What's the problem here? Once I think I have the solution, there's another problem, and I'm starting to get pretty angry with this.
    Mac OSX 10.7.5., iPhone 4S: IOS 5.1.1., iTunes 11.0.1. (12), QuickTime: 10.1., if anyone's wondering.

    Has to be synced. But you can change it so that only the ones checked will sync. Go into iTunes with your iPhone connected and scroll through the tabs. There will be an option to sync only the checked media. So uncheck the ones you do not want.

  • 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!

  • Transfering video into iphone

    i've been trying to transfer couple of my movies into my iphone through itune but it just isn't happening.. the movies are AVI.. i remember avi worked perfectly fine with my 3G..

    If they avi's-they did not work on your 3G.
    The 3G/3GS only play back mpeg4 videos in mp4,m4v, .mov format.
    The iPhone 4 only plays back avi's meeting these specs:
    Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format

  • I have an iphone 4 with videos on it that I'd like to transfer to an IMac so that I can email them.  (the iphone isn't in use anymore.)  What's the procedure for transfering videos from an iphone to an iMac?

    I have an iphone 4 with videos on it that I'd like to transfer to an IMac so that I can email them.  (the iphone isn't in use anymore.)  What's the procedure for transfering videos from an iphone to an iMac?

    Connect the iPhone to your Mac with its USB cable and launch iPhoto.  In iPhoto you can select which files to upload into the library.  Once in the library export them out of iPhoto to a folder on the Desktop via File ➙ Export ➙ File Export  with Kind=Original. That will give you copies of the videos in the folder for use outside of iPhoto.
    If you want to bypass importing into iPhoto try launching Image Capture and manually upload the selected video files to the folder of your choice.
