Upload .mov from iphone to mac

I've had trouble getting .mov files playing on my iMac after syncing from my iPhone 4.  They don't play under VLC, Quicktime, etc.
But now I've found that emailing the movie to my account on the iMac works because I can play the .mov attachment.
So iTunes must be stripping the file of something...?
Hope this is useful ...

Connect your iPhone to the Mac with its cable and launch iPhoto. You'll see the option to import the photos from the iPhone.
Can you explain why you say the photos got deleted somehow?  What version of iPhoto and system are you running?  What do you see in iPhoto's window when you launch IPhoto?  There's a good chance you still have the photos but the iPhoto library is damaged and is not displaying them.  How big does the Finder indicate the library package is?

  • I am having trouble uploading movies from iPhone to Mac

    My wife shot a short (4 minute) video on her iPhone 5 and it will not upload to her MacBook Air. It said it was too large. Any suggestions please?

    You might have to use an app like PhotoSync to transfer it over wifi to your Mac, or use 3rd party software such as PhoneView to transfer it.

    The following link has 2 methods for importing photos to a Mac (not counting Photo Stream). Are you using iPhoto or Image Capture?

    Just uploaded apps from iphone to Mac pro but i can't open the apps - Why?

    Hi richard915,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Do you mean that you transferred your purchases from the iPhone to your Mac pro?  You can also set your Mac's iTunes preferences to automatically download purchases made to it.  You'd have to check the specifics for the app that you are having an issue with, but some apps that are designed for the iPhone won't work on your Mac. Developers usually create two versions of their software.

  • How to upload photos from iPhone to Mac

    My iPad seems to have automatic update of photos from my iPhone but not from my phoen to my Mac. How do i do this please?

    If your iPad has automatic upload of photos in the Camera Roll to iPhoto on your Mac, this means you have Photo Stream enabled with your iCloud account settings on your iPad.
    Do you have the same enabled on your iPhone?
    Syncing the iPad or your iPhone with iTunes on your Mac does not transfer or import photos from Camera Roll on each device. Photos and videos in the Camera Roll on each device can be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. With a Mac that can be with iPhoto or with the Image Capture application.

  • How do I upload photos from iPhone to Mac using Photos

    I have photos on my iPhone that I wish to upload to my iMac and then share using Skype. How do I do that now that my iPhoto library has been converted to Photos?
    (1) I do not want to send my photos via iCloud
    (2) I do not want to copy any photos from my iMac to my iPhone.
    Why did this get so complicated? Why can't I drag and drop?
    OSX Yosemite 10.10.3

    See the instructions quoted below from Photos help https://help.apple.com/photos/mac/1.0/?lang=en#/pht6c803201
    Import photos from a camera or iOS device
    Connect a camera, iPad, iPhone, or other iOS device to your computer with a USB cable.
    Make sure the camera or device is turned on and the camera is set to the correct mode for importing photos.For information on which mode to choose, see the instructions provided with your camera. If your camera has a “sleep” mode, make sure it’s disabled or set to a time increment long enough to allow your images to download.
    Open Photos (if it isn’t already open), then click Import in the toolbar.Note: The Import button only appears when a camera or storage device is connected.Photos displays all the photos and videos on the device. You can choose to import a selection of photos or all the new photos on the device.
    Do one of the following:
    Import all new photos: Click Import All New Photos.
    Import a selection of photos: Click the photos you want to import, then click Import Selected.
    If a message asks whether you want to delete or keep the photos on your camera after they’re imported, click Delete Items to remove the photos, or click Keep Items to keep them on the camera.Photos imports your photos. To cancel importing, click Stop Import.
    When all photos have been imported, disconnect the camera or device from your computer.
    Imported photos appear in the Last Import album in Albums view.
    If you have photos taken with a film camera, you can import them into Photos by converting them to digital files (using the Image Capture app and a home scanner). After importing the digital files into Photos, you can edit them and add them to albums and projects, just as you can any other digital photos. You can also use the Image Capture app to set Photos to open automatically whenever you connect your camera. For more information, open Image Capture in the Applications folder, then choose Help > Image Capture Help.
    Tip: You can change the date and time of scanned images in Photos; select the image and choose Image > Adjust Date and Time.

  • I am trying to upload movies from my itunes to my iphone and it will only upload a select few. Why?

    Help! I am trying to upload movies from my iTunes to my iPhone and it will only upload a select few. Why?

    You are using File->Add File (or Folder) to Library, right?
    Make sure that you also look at the various categories of content stored on the library:  turn on the sidebar (Ctrl+S keys toggle) and click the categories to see if the content shows in the content window of iTunes.
    It could be you are trying to add a video/movie in a format iTunes does not accept because it cannot play it or work with it.  (And yes, if iTunes cannot add it to the library, it should absolutely report an error message rather than leave you wondering and drop the command.)

  • HT5409 can i convert movies from iPad to mac laptop

    Ihave  download a movie from ipad but it will not play on my mac air laptop with quicktime installed..??

    Ihave  download a movie from ipad but it will not play on my mac air laptop with quicktime installed..??
    Are you going to give us any additional clues as to what you are really asking here?
    1) The "HT5409" in your subject title reference implies you are dealing with AVCHD content. If true, then how did you transfer them to your iPad and how did you transfer them from your iPad to your your MacBook Air platform? As the HT409 topic clearly stated, this can be very important. In addition, how are the files stored? For instance , have you extracted the MPEG-4 AVC content as transport streams or is the content still in the device recorded file form? Are you trying to edit the content or convert it to M4V, MP4, or MOV files directly?
    2) The "can i convert movies from iPad to mac laptop" part of your subject title is confusing. Yes, AVCHD files can be converted to simpler MPEG-4 AVC content that is compatible with all current and most older Mac computers and Apple mobile devices in MOV, MP4, and/or M4V file formats. However, how you do this will depend on the current form of the data and the target settings you wish to employ to ensure compatibility with the various target device possibilities. Further, non-AVCHD content (e.g., HD iPad video recordings) can also be downconverted to simpler settings in a similar manner if needed or required if that is your questing.
    3) Depending on your operating system, both AVCHD and MPEG-4 AVC content should already be compatible with QT X v10.2 and v10.3 players if properly transferred to your laptop from the recording device. And, even if improperly transferred, may still be converted to useable/compatible formats as long as the file itself has not been corrupted by your, as yet, unspecified workflow.
    4) What does "will not play on my mac air laptop with quicktime installed" mean here? Are you trying to play an AVCHD movie in the QT 7 player or one of the QT X players? If the latter, which one? Are you getting any error message? If so, what are they? If not playing in your main user account on the computer, does it play useing a different account? Do the files play in other, third-party multimedia players?
    Basically, your question is the equivalent of my saying my car won't start but failing to mention whether or not I am out of gas, my battery is dead, or that I have removoed the distributor cap, wires, or spark plugs from the engine. To properly solve the issue we need all possible information that you can provide describing exactly what you are doing, how you are doing it, what is not working as your expect it should, and what your goals are. In cases where you cannot answer such questions, it is often helpful to simply post/upload a sample "problem" file and let other users here examine it to determine the problem and/or suggest a specific solution for your particular system/configuration combination.

    how to upload movies from ipad to computer

    How does one copy movies which appear in the Videos App to a computer?  The article linked in Diavonex's post only describes how to copy videos and photos which appear in the Photos App.  I have movies on the iPad (visible only in the Videos App) which I synced from another computer and I can not sync them back to iTunes on my current computer.  If I try to turn on the Movie sync, it will erase those movies on the iPad and copy the ones on my computer to the iPad.  I do not have the old Mac from which the movies were originally synced, and I don't have the original movie files. These are not downloaded movies, they are movies I created myself and transcoded to .m4v format and synced to the iPad.  How can I copy/ transfer these movies off the iPad?
