Videos not syncing with iTunes on Windows 7

I have been using my iPhone 4 as a camcorder a lot lately and I have tons of videos of my kids that I would like to start putting together for a DVD. The only problem is that iTunes doesn't sync the movies from my camera roll.
Thankfully Windows 7 allows me to open up my iPhone 4 image directory every time I connect, so I can go in there and manually transfer the videos. However, this is a pain that I shouldn't need to endure.
With my iPhone connected and selected in iTunes, I went to the "Photos" tab of iTunes and checked the box to "sync movies." The movies still do not sync.

The word "Sync" seems to be misleading. Synchronizing is making 2 sources match each other. This apparently is not what iTunes does. It's really disappointing to find this out. Especially when I am locked out of so many areas of my phone when accessing the phone from my computer.
It is a sync process that is mostly a transfer process with some data kept synchronized by definition with a supported application on your computer such as with contacts, calendar events, notes, and Safari bookmarks, and all other data being a transfer process only. All iTunes content is a transfer process and the same for photos transferred from your computer. iTunes does not handle the importing of photos from any digital camera including from the iPhone's Camera Roll. Some people prefer storing photos imported from a digital camera on their computer manually, and some prefer using a photo storage application such as iPhoto or Aperture on a Mac.

  • IPod Classic not Syncing with iTunes on Windows 8

    Hi,
    I have reccently bought a new laptop which has Windows 8 64Bit pre-installed.  I had my music library backed up (consisting of ripped CDs etc and nothing purchased from iTunes) and thought it would be a straight forward process of syncing this to my iPod.  I am aware that this process would wipe the music off the iPod and replace it with the music on the laptop which I had no issues with.
    Despite my best efforts I have not been able to get my iPod Classic 160Gb to sync with iTunes.  When I plug the iPod in, it is recognised in iTunes and th iPod briefly displays a messge saying it is syncing.  After about 10 seconds this message disappears.
    iTunes (version 11.0.1.12) gives me the option to restore the iPod which I have done.  It goes through what seems to be a very short restore session where I am not given the option to name the iPod etc before the iPod giving the brief "synching" message and then telling me that I need to eject the iPod before disconnecting.
    The only way I have managed to get some music onto the iPod is by clickong on "Music" (under the iPod button) and then selecting "Autofill".  Whilst this works in putting all of my music onto the iPod, if I delete a song from my library this change is not mirrored on the iPod.  I also now have no option to sync my pictures with the iPod.
    I have tried using compatability mode to start iTunes in Windows 7 mode but I still have the same problems.
    Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong?
    Many thanks

    how did you fix it?

  • Ipod Touch 2nd Gen. Not Syncing With Itunes or Windows.

    I have an Ipod Touch - 2nd Generation 16GB iPod. It has IOS 4.2.1 installed on it.
    My Ipod Touch is still functioning but will not let me connect it with my computer so the ipod is not shown or iTunes or Windows. It was last working on the 19th of January using Itunes 10. I then updated to iTunes 11 and have only attempted to reconnect my ipod today (29/01/13) to no avail.
    I have attempted to connect my ipod touch with 3 different cables, none of which have worked despite all of these working when I attempted to charge the iPod using an external charger. The Ipod has worked as normally, allowing me to utilize all the available features. I have attempted to resolve this problem myself and have attempted the use of differ cables, as described above. I have also tried to restore the Ipod and have turned the device on and off, numerous times. Furthermore, I have also turned off the Apple Mobile Device and have turned it back on but it has not rectified the problem.
    Thank you for your help in advance.

    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar.  Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears.

  • IPad will not sync with iTunes in Windows

    My ipad will no longer sync with iTunes (iOS5 was downloaded). iTunes shows my iPad as having content and I can sync, but when I disconnect iPad, nothing appears on my iPad. If I set up as a new iPad, can I still then access everything I have in iTunes?

    You should, yes. The iTUnes content is governed by the apple id, not the device(s). I had my iPad die on me and got a new one and just set it up as a backup and it sync'd all my old apps and my new one looked exactly like my old one.
    So I believe if you set it up as a  new one, you will have to put everything back on the ipad, but your apps will still be there in iTunes.

    Hey VandanaR,
    Thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided, it sounds like you are unable to sync your iPod because it is not connecting to iTunes. If you are experiencing this issue on a Windows computer, you can follow the applicable article from this resource:

  • My iPhone4 will not sync with iTunes,

    my iPhone4 will not sync with iTunes, but Windows Explorer (Windows7) recognizes the iPhone is connected and will download photos from iPhone. 
    When I look at the Settings-General-iTunes Wifi Sync, it says "Sync will resume when "PC" is available."
    More details:
    I have three iPhone4 phones. 1 of them will Sync with iTunes, but the other 2 have this problem where they will not Sync.   All 3 phones recently were able to Sync, like 10 or 14 days ago.  I am Sync ing them all to the same PC and iTunes account.   No idea what has changed to cause 2 of the iPhones to be unable to Sync.   they both have the "Sync will resume when "PC" is available" message under the Wifi Sync menu.

    You say your phone will not sync but then you say, "when it does sync."
    Does it sync or not? Did you remember to select music to sync onto your phone before clicking on Apply or Sync?
    You do have to have iTunes on your computer in order to sync your phone. And your music must be in iTunes.

    I can not sync with itunes iphone , is catching, and when it begins to sync is a long time and then appears a message that no time to help sincronização.Me am without some music

    You are correct.  Syncing should transfer any purchased media, including videos, from your device to your iTunes library provided your computer is authorized for the Apple ID used to make these purchases.  You mentioned that you have uninstalled iTunes before, but if you didn't follow this guide exactly, uninstalling iTunes and all of its components in the order specified, it may not have been successful so you should try again:  Windows XP or Windows Vista/7.

  • IPod won't sync with iTunes on Windows 7/64 bit PC

    I just updated my PC to Windows 7/64 bit. iPod will not sync with iTunes. I have uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes, and tried all the suggestions on the Internet (except restoring the iPod, too scary; and modifying registry on the PC, too too scary). The device thinks it has the most current software. The iPod tries to connect and appears briefly but then disconnects. A Windows message appears asking the following: "Do you want to scan and fix My iPod? There might be a problem with some files on this device or disc. This can happen if you remove the device or disc before all files have been written to it." If I tell it yes to scan it gives another error message that is it not recognized. If I tell it to skip the scan, the device disconnects and nothing happens. No syncing. I am at a loss as to how to fix this. Has anyone encountered this type of issue and if so - how did you resolve it. I don't want to restore the iPod as I do not know if it will ever connect and sync again and all the music on it now would be lost and the device would be useless. Thank you in advance for your suggestions. Tikimom
