Trouble transferring iPhone videos to iPhoto & iMovie

I use a iPhone 3Gs and wanted to load all of our photos and videos onto our computer. I haven't had any trouble in the past.
I hook my phone to the computer and I first get a message saying no camera found. Iphoto still recognizes my phone and asks me if I want to transfer the photos/videos over. I click yes and I tell it to not transfer duplicates.
The files transfer without a problem, but at the end, I get a message that about 875 videos are unreadable and cannot be transferred. A decent amount of the beginning of videos transfer, but the majority do not.
Then, when I try to transfer the videos over to iMovie, they won't show up?
I don't know what is going on, but I am very frustrated!
Thank you.

I can certainly try - but why isn't it recognizing my phone? I guess I should also say that I just upgraded yesterday to the new 4g - but, I was have the same exact issues with my 3Gs as well...so it isn't phone specific.

When i import movies from my iPhoto app to my iMovie app does it make a copy (thereby using double the hard disk space) or does it link to my iPhoto app? The reason i ask is i want to archive all my videos from iPhoto/iMovie. HELP!

When i import movies from my iPhoto app to my iMovie app does it make a copy (thereby using double the hard disk space) or does it link to my iPhoto app? The reason i ask is i want to archive all my videos from iPhoto/iMovie. Do i need to archive the movies in iPhoto AND iMovie? HELP!

Hi - I'm having the same problem with freeing up space on the HD. If I can't free space if I'm using any part of the clip, how can I split up the clips so that I can discard the part I won't use? This is crazy! I have only 4 GB of free space left!
Also, I've tried to transfer the project file to my external HD but I keep getting an error saying I can't transfer it. I've been told this is because I don't have enough space on the HD for the transfer. I tried a similar transfer with another computer with plenty of HD space but the same error occurred. Is there a way to break up the project file into small pieces for the transfer (I'm thinking the whole movie file is just too big)?
Thanks for any info!

The Premiere Elements learning curve is a serious matter. Nothing to be taken lightly or taken for granted. Every question is important, small or large. Never hesitate to ask a question. Every answer is always obvious once you have been there and done that. I often reflect on "the measure of a smart person is not what he/she knows but rather what he/she knows that they do not know". All that said, let us move forward zealously to get you moving forward with your project with some fine tuned communication.
I have gone back and reread your whole thread. I think the light bulb may have lit here and that I bypassed the following.
When I open the Organize and view videos section that is supposed to show ALL my imports.
All that are fully showing are the pictures... ALL The Videos are located in a "BLANK" box on that same screen.
Again,   If I select the "make movies" option   the videos are able to be dragged down to the timeline, where they fully appear. However, I cannot view them in the selection area
On my re-read of your thread, it appears that your blank box is not in Project Assets in the Expert workspace of Premiere Elements 12 Editor. It is in the Elements Organizer 12 which is part of Premiere Elements 12. Is that correct? If it is,
a. if you double click the blank thumbnail in that Elements Organizer 12, can you play back the video file there?
And, what you are saying is that when you open this Elements Organizer 12 blank box in Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace, you see the video and hear the audio just fine. Is that what is going on?
Video thumbnail problem in the Elements Organizer is a frequent report. That is why details, such as the file extension of the file involved, are so important along with the other properties of the file.
One way around this is to use Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace Add Files and Folders (from computer hard drive) to get your file into Project Assets from where you drag it to the Timeline. Does that work for you?
Before I go on and on, let us see if we are in sync on this.
Your help on this is appreciated.
Thanks.

Is is best to save iphone videos in iphoto or imovie?

Where is the best place to save my iphone videos. Is it necessary to keep it in iphoto and imovie both?

iphoto and imovie
On your iPhone or a Mac?
On a Mac it will depend on how you want to use your videos. iPhoto has no tools to edit your videos. If you want to edit your videos import them to iMovie. If you want to use the videos just as they are in iPhoto slideshow projects, keep them in iPhoto.

IMovie won't upload/recognize certain iphone videos from iPhoto.

I have a MacBook, Mac OS X version 10.6.8. I have recently started making some more movies to document my daughter's life in iMovie. I am having trouble getting certain movies from iPhoto to transfer to iMovie. When I opened iMovie it said it was making thumbnails, and it did...but not for all of the movies from my iPhone. I didn't realize this until I was almost done with my movie in iMovie. I restarted both iMovie and iPhoto to try to get the movies recognized. I have tried so many different things and nothing is working. All movies are .mov form. I am using the '08 version of both iMovie and iPhoto. Now I can't drag the movies anywhere, they are grey when I look them up in Finder. Any ideas?
Here is a screenshot from one of my attempts to make it work.

This is a forum for the MacBook Pro hardware. I would suggest taking your question to the iMovie forum where you will get faster, and better, service.

Transferring iPhone video to Computer

I was finally able to transfer photos/videos from my iPhone 4 Camera Roll to my PC (Windows XP) using Apple Article #HT4083. My issue is that videos under 1 min copied over, but videos over 1 minute get stuck in the transfer process and I end up having to "Skip It" in order to finish the process. Also, once my < 1min iPhone videos transfer over to my iPhotos file under the 'MY PICTURES' folder on my computer, how do I properly transfer them back into my iPhone in the photo albums I choose using iTunes? I moved some of the videos into the folders I created under 'MY PICTURES' along with the photos, but during the Sync process in iTunes, only the photos were transferred back to my iPhone in the newly created album folders, not the videos.

Why should Apple include a utility for this just for Windows users? This is something Microsoft should include with Windows, and I'm pretty sure they do.
There are a number of digital cameras that support capturing photos as well as video. I have a Canon digital camera that I purchased at the end of 2003 which I continue to use that supports capturing photos and video, and I've always used iPhoto for the import, which is included by Apple with OS X.
If the Windows Scanner and Camera Wizard doesn't provide for importing videos that were captured by your iPhone, the driver for your webcam may be the cause of the problem. Have you confirmed if the driver for your webcam is up to date along with all other Windows drivers?

Why are iPhone videos importing into iMovie?

Recently, I plugged in my iPhone 5 into my iMac to free up space on the phone by importing the videos. Instead of it importing the videos into iPhoto (as it always has in the past) they are all in iMovie.

Thank you in advance for help!

How can I transfer my iphone 4S videos to my PC?

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
Windows XP cannot import video files larger than 500 MB using Camera and Scanner Wizard. You can transfer these files directly from your device by selecting them in My Computer and dragging or copying the movie files to your computer's hard drive.

Can't remove video from iPhoto/iMovie'11

Help! I have an old video that shows up everytime I start iMovie'11, and I don't seem to be able to get rid of it. It shows up under the iPhoto video Library, but it doesn't show up at all in iPhoto so I am unable to delete it.
I managed to locate it in the Finder, it seems to have 2 .jpgs associated with it in the iPhoto Library Thumbnails and Preview directories, and two video files: one in the Masters directory and one in the Thumbnails.
Is there any way to delete it without resorting to the deleting these files from the Finder? It's over an hour long so I'd really like to be able to delete it.

Since no one on this discussion forum was able to offer help, I turned to Twitter and received an answer there.
In case anyone else with this problem stumbles upon this thread, I will share the solution that worked for me:
The answer was that the video in question was in the iPhoto Trash. Once I emptied the Trash from the left-hand sidebar in iPhoto, the video was removed from both iPhoto and iMovie.

Trouble connecting iPhone 6 to iPhoto 9.6

After upgrading to Yosemite OS, my iPhone 6 has trouble connecting and downloading photos to iPhoto. When I connect the iPhone 6, it recognizes it, I then click on "Import Photos", and it begins downloading the photos, and almost immediately stops with an error message "error downloading image".
This problem was intermittent at first, for the last month or so, but I was eventually able to import. Now it's not able to get past this message at all.
Has anyone else had this issue?

At this point, as odd as the problem started...it seems to now work fine.
As long as it's working now, that is all that matters.

IPhone Videos from iPhoto not Syncing

I have a lot of video I shot on my 3GS imported into albums in iPhoto, and when I sync my iPad, they do not transfer, although the photos do. I checked the box that says "include videos" on my iPad photos tab - I called applecare, they suggested unchecking the box, syncing, then checking it again, and re-syncing. no luck. I went into iSync at their suggestion and reset the sync history, then . No dice. Then I copied the videos into the Movies tab in my iPhoto library, and it worked alright. Not the most elegant solution. Is there a way to make it work so they sync into the Photo album where they came from ?? The applecare guy said it might be the video format, but I would think with 2 iDevices, they should work together flawlessly. Any suggestions ?

I have exactly the same problem and same configuration. Any solution for this "issue"?

Transferring Iphone photos to Iphoto on laptop - small!

If I take a photo on my Iphone 4 - or if someone sends me a photo they took on their IPhone - and then I transfer it to my IPhoto on my MacBook Pro, it's very small - I can't enlarge it at all. Advice??

Not sure why they would be small. However, any photo can be resized with a decent graphics program. Try this one: http://www.lemkesoft.com/
