Transitioning from 4 to 4s: photos and video

So I am not new to iphones, been in the game since the 3. But I just bought the 4s and for some reason my photos and video are not transitioning to the new phone. Any thoughts? Calendar, music and everything went great.

Did you do a backup of your 3, then restore your 4S to that back up.

I would like to set up my email on the apple tv as well as have my husband's email on there so we can view both sets of photos and videos - it is already set up in his name - how do i add my name so as to view my photo library from all of my devices?

I would like to set up my email on the apple tv as well as have my husband's email on there so we can view both sets of photos and videos - it is already set up in his name - how do i add my name so as to view my photo library and songs from MY phone ?

this is not a reply - i asked the question - still trying to learn how all this works - someone please HELP ME

I need to know how to download all photos AND videos from 2 "libraries" within Adobe Revel. Please help.

I was quite angered last night when I posted the first time, so lets try this again:
Here is my setup: I have adobe Revel on my Mac and iOS devices and it has worked quite well to be honest until I recently realized my photos and videos are basically trapped within the software. There is no way (that I am aware) to export all photos/videos or any kind of tool to pull the raw data out of the app and put it into say iPhoto or Lightroom.
Since I am not a fan of this sort of lock-in, (something I despise and encourage companies never to do), I am sadly going to cancel my Revel account once I get this sorted and store my photos elsewhere. This is a huge missed opportunity for Adobe, as the money is not an issue - its simply that the quality of service I need just doesn't seem to be there for this product.
So here is what I am trying to achieve: I simply want every one of my photos and videos to store on my hard drive like the old days. I don't care about folders or hirarcy or any kind of organization - I can do that with the metadata later. I simply want all of my things.
My hang up is in that I have already tried methods like "Show package contents" in the photos/adobe revel route and that works to an extent, but is incredibly cumbersome as I have to sift through all of the many folders. If that were the worst of it, I might be ok. But what is truly alarming and making this difficult is that I don't know where on earth the videos in Revel are actually stored. They show up in the application and I could export them one by one but I literally have hundreds. I can't find the actual files on my Mac anywhere.
Is there anyone at all who can help with this? The goal is to make this transition fairly easy and I feel that Adobe has very intentionally made it very difficult to consider leaving. I spend >$50/month on Adobe services and I am a little in shock this application seems so poorly designed for anything other than just dropping your photos into it. Please, please help if you can. I would be so grateful as Adobe customer service doesn't seem to know or care much about supporting this product.

Hi KDT
Yeah. I agree, if you are used to a situation where "it's on the cloud AND synced down to your hard disk where you can get it" Revel is not exactly that. There were legacy decisions behind that - most not as sinister as you might think but I won't bore you with those details. AND yes you are correct. We currently don't have any way for you to wholesale download everything at once. So you aren't missing anything. Until we provide that mechanism I can provide some guidance.
I'm going to assume you have the current version of Revel on your Mac which is 2.0.
The easiest thing for you to do will be to export your files manually. You can actually select a range of files and export. So it's not a one by one thing.
You'll have to decide how best to perform the selection based on your photography habits. If you tend to take batches of files surrounding specific dates. You could do it by date. In the date view (In the applications upper right "Showing: Dates"). If you look at the end of a date row you'll see a small grid. If you click that grid you are taking into a grid view of just that date. If you select all and file>export you'll export the contents of that date.
The other option is remaining in Grid view (In the applications upper right "Showing:Grid") and perform a shift+selection where you select your first file, move down the desired range and while holding shift you select a second file (standard multi-select stuff).
One thing to keep in mind as you do this. You'll notice when you export you can export original or 'current version'. Export original does just that. Exports unedited original versions of your images as they were uploaded to us. When you export the current version of an image we'll export a rendition of the edited image. This "current version" image is not the original and in most cases will be a rendition that is not the same size as the original. So keep that in mind as you proceed.
Not ideal, I fully realize, but I do hope it gets you closer to having your images back on your hard disk as you desire.
As for your subscription. Assure you have checked your iOS Appstore subscription settings and set Revel to not auto-renew. Unfortunately for a pro-rated refund on the subscription balance you no longer desire you'll need to work with Apple as they hold the purse strings for Appstore purchases. Refunds haven't been a problem in the past so you should have no issue.
Hope this helps.

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 :-(

I recently had to swap out my iphone 4s and I am having problems restoring photos and videos from icloud. I get a message on my phone that says " the URL you are requesting is not found on this server". Pics and videos have been deleted too.

I recently had to swap out my iphone 4s and I am having problems restoring photos and videos from icloud. When I restored my phone from icloud, half of my pics and videos have been deleted, the pics that were restored on my phone are very blurry, and the videos won't play. I get a message on my phone that says " the URL you are requesting is not found on this server". I have erased and reset my phone twice, but every time I do it, more pics and videos are deleted. I have backed up to icloud and iphoto, however, some of the pics are no longer on iphoto either. Is there someway to get the videos to play on my phone again? Make the photos not as blurry as they are now and to restore the pics and videos that have been lost? I really would love to have them back, this phone is supposed to be the best and right now it doesn't seem to be. Please help if you can.

I too have noticed that once i restored from iCloud. Pictures blurry and videos wont play!
Need help too!!

Can I create separate folders to save media on my Airport Time Capsule? Issue is I have a 256GB HDD Mac Pro Retina which is almost full. TC will only take backup of my HDD. So where would I save my photos and videos from my iPhone and iPad?

It is a hard one.. laptops with small drives are a pain.
What you need is a home media server.
Some people use a PC running itunes for cost.. but that is nothing like as good as using a Mac mini.. they make great little HTPC device.. you can plug in large hard disks and store all your files and media. And share it with the network.. Read up apple's instructions on home sharing.
https://www.apple.com/au/support/homesharing/
For cost you can buy a mini from 2011 or 2012.. I would not recommend earlier ones.. the advantage of 2012 is they have USB3 ports. But you will pay more for them.. new mini is not as useful.. they have soldered in memory and you cannot upgrade.. the old mini was the most easily modified mac in the whole range. Uses little power and can be bought for a $300US for a good one second hand.. maybe less.

I just upgraded my iPad from 4.3.3 to the newest - I think 6.1.3. I cannot find my photos and videos. I tried a restore, but after 3 hours, it's timing out. Pardon my ignorance on asking this question; but is there a way to find my photos?

Here are the steps I though I took this morning:
Backup iPad
Connect to iTunes and downlaod newest version of iTunes and then newest iOS
restart Vista Laptop
upgrade to newest iOS
I knew somethign was wrong when it took about 6 hours to upgrade the iPad
at the end it errored with this message error (-50), but the upgrade worked
I was expecting to see all my photos but didn't see them
I have tried a restore to a back up 2 times. The first time took 3 hours and just sort of timed out - it kept saying that there was an hour to go
I tried it again 2 hours ago and same message.
They are very valuable to me and so now I am panicking
Your help is much appreciated

Hi Eric Ferguson,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For troubleshooting on this, take a look at this article:
iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
Best of luck,

How can I display the photos and videos from the Nano to Altec's iMV712

I am trying to display photos and videos from a 3G Nano to larger display on Altec Lansings iMV712
While I know I can view it from the cradle, I was wondering if a TV Out would work?
Has anyone managed to get this to work?

Jim VanLeeuwen has already given you the answer, but (for your future reference), when I saw your comment -- on an RSS feed -- that "The Apple help site is useless" I went to the Support pages and in the search box at the top, entered, "transfer photos from iPhone to Mac". The top result was the one Jim VanLeeuwen offers.

ICloud Photo Library: How do I transfer photos and videos only from my iPhone to my iPad but not from my iPad to my iPhone?

I had iCloud photo libraey turned on on both my iPad and iPhone. As said by the feature, photos and videos were being transferred automatically from each device to each other. I have a 64GB iPad Air 2 and my iPhone 5 only has 16GB of storage so I am lacking much more space on my iPhone than my iPad. I was wondering if there was a way to transfer photos only from my iPhone to my iPad but not from my iPad to my iPhone. Would turning off iCloud Photo library on my iPad do the trick? Thanks hope someone can help me out.

iCloud Photo Library keeps all of your photos in the Cloud which you then can selectively download. So, unless you download the iPad photos, they are not going to be taking up any room on your iPhone:
How does iCloud Photo Library save space on my device?
If you turn on Optimize [device] Storage, iCloud Photo Library will automatically manage the size of your library on your iOS device, so you can make the most of your device's storage and access more photos than ever. iCloud Photo Library stores the original, high-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and can keep lightweight, device-optimized versions on each of your devices. As long as you have enough storage, recent photos and videos that you access the most will stay on your device at full resolution.
You can turn on Optimize [device] Storage from Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera > iCloud Photo Library on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. You need an Internet connection to access an original photo or video that’s stored only in iCloud.
Here is a link to the FAQs page for iCloud Photo Library:

How can i get my photos and videos back after backing up from my 2nd generation ipod into my 5th generation ipod? I really need those photos but i dont know how.

I downloaded the new itunes. So, i plugged in my 5th generation ipod and when i plugged it in, it asked me if i want to set it as new ipod or back up from the 2nd generation ipod touch that i plugged in before, i accidently clicked on the back up from before so it when its done, it looked like my 2nd gen. ipod and i dont like it. All my photos and videos from 5th gen. Ipod were all gone and there are some pictures that i really need as soon as possible. Is there a way i can i can get those photos and videos back? I really need them. :(

Did you fail to import them to your computer?
If so, then they are gone.

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.

How do I get my wife's photos and video from her iCloud to my iPad?

How do I get my wife's photos and video from her iCloud to my iPad. She no longer has an iDevice and I want to retrieve some really sentimental photos and videos of my grandson. I've logged on to her iCloud account on my iPad, but don't know what to do next.
Thanks
Tony

Her camera roll photos and videos would be included in her backup. Restoring her backup to the iPad should recover them.
Start by creating a current backup of your iPad that you can restore your data from later. It's faster if you do this on your computer using iTunes; if you can't, create a backup in your iCloud account. If you can back up to your computer, do this by connecting the iPad to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Back Up. Then go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.
Then erase the iPad and restore her iCloud backup as explained here: https://support.apple.com/kb/ph12521. When it's done, import the recovered photos and videos to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
Then erase the iPad again and restore the backup you made earlier, either from iTunes or from iCloud depending on where you backed it up.
If you want the photos back on the iPad, put them in a folder and sync them to your iPad by selecting the folder on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing. If you want to videos back on your iPad, import them to your iTunes library (File>Add to Library), then sync them to your iPad from the Movies tab of your iTunes sync settings. You will then find them in the Home Movies section of the Videos app on your iPad. Just so you are aware, photos that you sync to your iPad can only be removed later by syncing them off your iPad (by deselecting the folder on the Photos tab and syncing again). They can't be deleted on the iPad itself.

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.

Transfer iphoto photos and videos from one mac to another and retain all the titles and face names

Can I transfer an event of multiple photos that are in my iPhoto application on my macbook air (mid 2012) to my iPhoto application on my iMac ( mid 2011), and have the photos, after the transfer to the iMac, also retain all titles and other identifying data that had been added while on the macbook air? Using 10.9.5 OSX on both. Using iPhoto 9.5.1 on both. I did try this: drag and drop this event to a new folder on the desktop of the macbook air, the using Airdrop, drop copy of this event folder into the iMac. After the iMac displayed this file as completed received into the iMac, I then opened iPhoto to import this folder into iPhoto. The photos were imported, but without any identifying info, only the usual tag, such as IMG_4368. (Incidentally, the event of photos on the macbook air includes photos and videos taken on an iPhone 5c, and photos and videos taken on a nikon D3100. The photos that I transferred using Airdrop did show the camera meta data when Iclicked on the "info" button in iPhoto on the iMac) (Why did I do this in the first place? - While on a trip, I knew I would need to off-load photos and videos form my low capacity iPhone to the portable macbook air in order to free up space on the iPhone, and thought it would be easy enough to transfer to the high capacity iMac later.) Thanks for any input. Signed: No longer quite so "new-to-apple", but always trying to learn

Moving photos from old iMac to memory stick
     Open Photos in iPhoto
     Select All photos (which happens to be 2193 at the moment in my case)
     Drag Photos on to the Memory Stick icon
That is not moving an iPhoto Library. It will not retain Faces, Titles and lots of other metadata. That's moving the Previews (only) from one Library to a thumb drive and then importing them to another Library.
To move a Library:
To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
I'll ask the same question that I posed
above - can you do this for Mail and iTunes?
Most certainly not. You need to ask on those forums for the correct way to move those databases.

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!!
