Trying to transfer a movie file from my ipod to my pc

I am trying to put a movie file I have saved on my ipod classic and transfer it over to my pc. Now the ipod is set up to work with my macbook so when I hook it up to the pc it wants me to reformat it. I am using the ipod as an external storage so the movie file does not come up in my itunes. I do this sometimes just to transfer large files from my macbook to my wifes macbook pro. This is the first time I am trying to use it with a pc. If I reformat the ipod for the pc I am assuming I will lose all of my music that is on the ipod right? Thanks for any help to can give me.

Hi Bob,
Thanks for your reply.
The movie file is stored in a folder inside of data, when i try and delete either by dragging to trash or clicking move to trash it comes up with (The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items.).
I am just treating this file the same as anything else in finder, which is generally what i have always done.

    Are you referencing your Photoshop image files, or Photoshop application files?
    If the latter, cease and desist at once!
    Always install Photoshop from scratch, from the original media: CD/DVD or download.
    If the former, please provide details:
    BOILERPLATE TEXT:
    Note that this is boilerplate text.
    If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
    such as your platform (Mac or Win),
    exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
    your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
    the type of file you were working on,
    machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
    what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
    what error message(s) you receive,
    if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
    if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
    etc.,
    someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).
    a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.

  • HT4527 When I tried to transfer the itunes file from my music to my ipod, it said that the ipod has stopped working or had been disconnected?

    When I tried to transfer the Itunes file to my ipod or ipad it came up with a message saying that the device had been disconnect or stopped? I tried several times but it would not copy the file accross. I am trying to transfer my whole itunes library from an old laptop to a new laptop.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reboot the computer
    - try another USB port
    - Try another cable

  • How do I transfer a movie file from my iPad to my MacBook Pro?

    I recently accidentally deleted all media files that existed in the iTunes Media folder on my MacBook Pro. I have managed to recover almost every file, the only one I have yet to recover is a movie that was redeemed through iTunes after I purchased it as part of a DVD/Blue-Ray/Digital Copy combo pack. It is no where to be found on my hardrive yet the 'phantom' file still extsts within my iTunes library. After checking all of our family's Apple devices (2 iPhones, 5 iPads, 1 older MacBook, & 1 MacBook Pro) I was delighted to discover the movie still exists on my stepson's iPad Mini! Only now I cannot seem to find a way to 'transfer' this movie file back onto my MacBook Pro. I am refusing to sync or update his iPad Mini in fear that I might loose the only copy of the movie I have left! Can someone please help me transfer this file back to my MacBook Pro? Thanks so much!

    This talks about iTunes 10, but it should work the same way in iTunes 11. Transferring purchases for an iDevice to your Mac.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2554
    It should be File>Devices>Transfer Purchases, I think
    You must be using the same Apple ID in iTunes on your Mac that your son is using on the Mini or the movie will not transfer.

  • I am trying to transfer a .mov file to my new iPad Air

    How do I get a home movie (a .mov file) from my desktop to my iPad?  I may need a converter...??

    I can think of Three quick ways
    1) Buy this $30 dongle.  
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC531ZM/A/apple-ipad-camera-connection-kit
    Take a 3 photos with a camera using a clean SD Card.   Take the SD card out of your camera and into an adapter on your computer.  Put the MOV file in the DCIM folder of the SD card.  Now put the SD card into your iPad using the $30 dongle.   Go to the photos app, then import. You should see 3 photos and the MOV on your ipad.
    2) If you have a mac get the MOV imported into iPhoto.   Then put the MOV into an album in iPhoto.  Connect your ipad and mac with a usb cord.   Now in iTunes go deep into the settings to sync that album.  Press SYNC.   Disconnect the ipad from the mac, and you should see the MOV on the ipad in your photos or video APP.   (iPhoto is only made for the mac)
    3) If the MOV file is small, under 25mb, most email programs will let you email the MOV.  Send on your desktop, then go to the ipad, check email, and then download.

  • Trying to transfer a large file using new ipod touch.

    I am trying to transfer a large file (17gigs)using my new ipod touch. I got a new laptop and i am trying to get some things on it. I was able to do this last time with my old ipod classic. It would let me copy/paste the file or drag it. But with the ipod touch i can not do either of those. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you very much.

  • Attempting to transfer large mov file from iphone to PC

    I've got a large mov file I'm trying to transfer to my PC.  I have 57 GB of free space on my PC, yet I'm told there's "not enough storage" to complete this operation.  Any ideas? Thanks for your advice.

  • How do i transfer my movie files from my mac to my external hard drive

    i want to move some video files from my desktop to my external hardrive, never dont it before need help

    What Mac OSX version?
    Regardless, you open the folder containing the video files, then click/drag those files from their current location to the hard drive icon on your Desktop.
    If your desktop does not show the external drive, post back for how to make it show up.

  • HT4527 HOW DO I MOVE FILES FROM MY IPOD CLASSIC 80GB TO A NEW COMPUTER?

    Just moved, computer that had my ITUnes library on it was damaged in the move.  How can I move my files onto my new laptop? 

    You (or a helpful friend) may be able to extract the hard drive from the damaged computer, put it in an external drive bay and extract your iTunes library and other personal data from it. Otherwise see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • How do I transfer AVHDC movie files from my Hyperdrive Colorspace device in

    Is anyone familiar with the HyperDrive Colorspace device? It is a proven best for storage of digital photos and the people at Hyperdrive assure me that, because Hyperdrives will back up everything that's on a memory card, then I can store AVDHC files on my Hyperdrive and then transfer them to my Mac. But when I have tried to do this iMovie does not seem to recognise the files. Can anyone help (in language as non-technical as possible??!!)

  • I had my music stored on iTunes on my laptop, which is no longer working, so I bought an iPad, but cannot work out how to transfer my music files from my iPod to my iPad. Why is there no way of connecting one to the other??? Frustrated

    I had my music stored on iTunes on my old laptop which is no longer working. I purchased an iPad 2 but don't understand why there is no way of connecting my iPod to my iPad to transfer my music over. Is there an app or something I can use to operate my iPod through my iPad, instead of a PC? If not, then I guess I should've bought a new lap top instead of an iPad.

    Select all songs ctrl A, right click - Download.

  • I have a new iMac.  How do I transfer my files from my iPod into Itunes?

    How do I transfer my music files from my Ipod to my Imac?  It appears to be simple to sync the Imac to the Ipod, but how to I put what I have on my Ipod on my new Imac?

    You can't do that because the music is synced to  a computer. You can however move an iTunes library from an old computer to a new one.
    BTW please complete your profile, it is incredibly difficult to help someone when there is no information about their system. If you don't know how please click Profile Update. After setting up your profile it will show in your next thread.
