Uploading MP4 video to iCloud photos fails

I am trying to upload a 25MB MP4 video to iCloud photos yet I keep on receiving an error indicating 'JPEG format only'
I checked that you should be able to upload MP4 videos via iCloud on my PC so I can then view on my iphone 6.
Can anyone help?

I see this question in a lot of places and in several Apple discussion groups. I've tried a number of the proposed solutions. I have 99GBs to upload. I got about 30GB uploaded twice, but then it kept stalling there (I have plenty of space). The solution that came closest was for me to turn off icloud, shut down Photos, rebuild Photos library (I think it's cntrl + option + double click on Photos icon), then start it all again. This let me get 60GB up fairly quickly, but it's been stuck there for a few days now. I also took my iMac into work and hooked it up to the bigger system there, since many people proposed doing that, assuming that those environments have bigger "pipes." Anyway, I did all of this, and it's still stuck, uploading maybe one photo every six hours or so.

If I upload a video to iCloud can it not be downloaded again?

Hi Debi,
Videos (and photos) can be downloaded from iCloud photo sharing. See this article -
iCloud Photo Sharing FAQ - Apple Support
In particular the section Can photos and videos be saved or downloaded from a shared album?
Yes. After photos are shared, anyone who can view the shared album can download and keep them permanently. Videos can only be downloaded to a Mac or PC. On an iOS device, videos are streamed from iCloud and can't be downloaded.
On a compatible iOS device, you can save photos to your Photos tab or Camera Roll.
In iPhoto or Aperture for Mac, you can add or copy shared photos or videos to your Library.
On a Windows PC, you can copy photos and videos from a shared album to any folder.
On the web, you can download photos and videos directly to your computer from the detail view of each photo or video.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

When I upload mp4 videos to my Google Blog from my PC, they are not visible

When I upload mp4 videos to my Google Blog from my PC, they are not visible on my iPad, even though I have no trouble seeing and playing them on my PC. Is there a setting on my iPad causing this?

The question is how are they displayed in the HTML on the Google blog, and/or do they get converted in the upload process. I don't use Google blog, so not familiar with its encoding. You could try an alternate browser such as iCab Mobile or Dolphin.

Uploading videos to iCloud photo library don't appear with the correct date

When I upload older photos to iCloud photo library beta they appear in the correct date in my "Moments", but when I upload a video it appears under today's date rather than the date the video was actually shot.. wonder if anyone has encountered the same problem?

Hey ribonucleoside,
I understand that you are seeing some issues with the behavior of your iCloud Photo Stream on your iOS device. Here is an article for you that will help you address this issue:

HT6378 How to upload iPhoto library into iCloud Photo library?

Hi,
I am having a MBP mid 2012 w/ Yosemite along w/ iPhone and iPad, all running 8.1. After having upgraded all devices to latest version, I wonder how do you get now the Mac iPhoto library into iCloud Photo library? iCloud Photo Library setting has been enabled on all devices.
On the iCloud, All Photos folder just shows a fraction of what's on my Mac iPhoto library, probably the most recent pictures I have taken and there's no sign of any automatic uploading as suggested by all Apple Ads...
Thanks

After having upgraded all devices to latest version, I wonder how do you get now the Mac iPhoto library into iCloud Photo library? iCloud Photo Library setting has been enabled on all devices.
iPhoto on your Mac is not supposed to work with iCloud Photo Library. The new "Photos" app for the mac will be able to do it. The release of this app has been announced for "Early next year".
For now, only your mobile devices can upload to iCloud Photo Library. So you have to upload your photos to the mobile devices to get them into iCloud Photo Library Beta.
That is not easy, because you cannot upload from your iPhoto library to your iOS 8 devices using iTunes with iCloud Photo Library Beta enabled on the device. It will disable syncing photos with iTunes. As long as you are using iCloud Photo Library Beta, mail the Photos to your devices or upload using Photo Stream.

Uploaded mp4 video is not played by swf-player

Guys,
can you help me please?
I've uploaded a video produced by Camtasia, but it's not played at all!
Have a look:
http://bigcompanyjob.com/guide02-2-4/guide02-2-4.html
You see that the video is being downloaded, but not played.
The player is ARPlayer 1.7. The video is a mp4 file.
The file is perfectly played on a local computer, but after uploading to ftp stops being played. I don't why...
Could you help me please?
Thanks!!
Vadim
P.S. It's interesting that if I make simply an swf-video file, it's played good: http://bigcompanyjob.com/guide02-2-3/guide02-2-3.html . But I don't like this option, because the swf-video is 30MB vs 5MB of the mp4-video.

Yeah, this is because I have already solved the problem:)
It turned out it's a hosting problem. I put .htaccess file, containing only one line:
AddType "video/mp4" .mp4
in the folder with video. And it works! Now everything plays good!

Photos for OS X stuck "uploading X items" to iCloud Photo Library

21.5 iMac running OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 (all patches applied)
200GB iCloud Storage with 171GB Free
iPhone 5s running iOS 8.3
When I enabled iCloud Photo Library on my Mac within the New Photos application it uploaded 12,182 out of the 15,125 photos successfully. All 12,182 photos are viewable in iCloud.com and on my iPhone. Photos is stuck "uploading 82 items". I have signed out and back into iCloud on my Mac, rebooted my Mac, rebooted my time capsule, disabled and then re-enable iCloud Photo Library, paused for a day then resumed and left my Mac running for days straight.
iCloud Photo Library works perfectly on my iPhone. When I take a photo it's uploaded to iCloud.com, when it's deleted it's then removed from iCloud.com. Since the Photos application is stuck "uploading" it's not receiving any new photos shot with my iPhone.
Any constructive comments, help or fixes are very welcome.
Thank you

Same here. plenty of storage on iCloud, yet I'm stuck with 500 photos uploaded out of 400 total.
The OS X Photos app is not doing anything and has stopped uploading 2 days ago.
Reboot doesn't help.
Anyone else seeing this issue???

Using Lightroom 5.2 cannot upload mp4 video files to Flickr.

When i used the older Lightroom 3 I was able to upload video files (.mov) to Flickr. Now, with LR5.2 Flickr shows those files as grayed out .mp4 files and do not upload.
Same camera, Canon 7D, so what's happening? Is the problem at Flickr's end? I don't think so.

Seventy nine viewers and not a single comment. Surely there must be some experts out there?

How can I delete uploaded digital videos from iCloud?

I have uploaded many digital videos that I have purchased and they have taken up almost all of my icloud space. How can I delete them to free up space in icloud? There's no more room to back up my devices.

iCloud seems to be a shapeshifter of mobile me. I can't stand it and can't wait to get it out of my systems. Unbelieveable! A company with so much market share, unable to get it right... Is this a joke? Good thing I'm not running that company! Someone needs to wake up and begin delivering 'state of the art' software for their 'state of the art' hardware. WHERE'S THE SUPPORT??

Itunes freezing system when trying to import mp4 videos and/or photos

Uploading mp4 video problem

"One or more settings are unsupported. Open the file in QuickTime Player and export a new file." This is the error message I get when I try to bring a video into iBook author. I have tried different ones ranging from 2 minutes to 20 minutes with same problem. I opened them in quicktime as suggested and tried to export to itunes. However, the option "IPad, I phone 4 and Apple TV is whited out and says "Not Available."
Is there a fix anyone knows?
Thanks,
Tom

Thanks for the article. It inspired me to look into iMove. If I open the file into iMovie and go to Share/Export Movie/Mobile -- it changes it into m4v and uploads into iBooks author.
Thank you.

How can you upload mp4 videos to Facebook for autoplay?

We would like videos exported from our app to play automatically inside newsfeeds on mobile. Instagram and Cinemagram seems to have this working.
We had some trouble finding documentation from Facebook, but would love to implement this feature in our iPhone app "PixtaCam."

What you mean is actually downloading a video from Youtube and then uploading it to Facebook. No this can't be done with the iPad.
As far as I know Youtube's terms and condictions don't allow you to download videos, and I know that Apple does not allow any apps that do so.

ICloud Photo Library with automatic photo upload services such as Dropbox and Google

After enabling iCloud Photo Library in iOS 8, do automatic photo upload services such as Dropbox and Google+ still upload photos in full resolution?
Or do they upload the low resolution file?

About iCloud Photos Library Beta, it is yet more a preview than a beta
Do not rely on it to store full res Photos/Videos even if you have a 200GB iCloud Store
Major Bugs (according to help description of fonctionality):
-only IOS8 Photos manually edited are uploaded full res from IOS ! If you do not edit you get low res photos in iCloud Library
-uploaded 1080p videos from IOS are converted to 720p 5mb/s as in existing Photo Sharing and not originals.
-No upload button in web iCloud photo Client on MAC for many (all?) users
Also very slow and very often stuck doing nothing.
I am afraid we would have to wait for next year... or later
What is unbelievable is that there are no information at all by Apple about what should word on the beta, and known problems, nor any release date, that is definitely not a beta, just powerpoint preview. I am very angry after all the fuss they have done around "new" iCloud and my 200GB monthly payment that I cannot use.

Does iphoto support uploading videos to icloud?

I am having difficulty uploading my videos to icloud via my mac. I can only see my photos on my Ipad despite it having IOS7. Can anyone help?

From the link I posted
What do I need to be able to add videos to a shared stream?
To add videos to a shared stream, you need an iCloud account, a compatible device, and up-to-date software:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 7.0 or later
Mac with OS X Mavericks v10.9 or later and either iPhoto 9.5 or Aperture 3.5
PC with Windows 7 or later and iCloud Control Panel 3.0 or later
SInce you do not have the required software versions you can not use the feature
