Why are photos and videos taken with my iPhone 6 not recognized in iPhoto?
My Mac and my iPhone 6 are both up to date but I still can't upload photos and videos to iPhoto from my iPhone 6. It gives me the message that they are in an unrecognizable format. I have restarted my Mac and tried selecting a few photos at a time to see if there were a couple that stalled the whole process but I get the error message every time. What can I do?
Does it happen with all pictures, or just those taken in low light? If its just low light what you are seeing is "noise" in the image, and there isn't much you can do about it. The resolution of the back camera is much higher than the resolution of the screen, so you should not see grain anywhere within the zoom range of the viewing screen - unless you took the picture using zoom. As the camera does not have optical zoom, when you zoom before snapping all you are doing is using less of the sensor, and that can result in a grainier image.

I'm told it's a "compatibility issue", but that seems ridiculous and completely neglegent, I have to say. You would think they would have tackled this issue by now?
I transfer photos from my iphone to my PC, and the majority of them are sideways, some even upside down. The videos are almost all that way, as well. I used to just select the pictures, right click, and choose "rotate clockwise", but with the 4s that doesn't even work anymore.
So now I have to load each picture into a photo editor and rotate each picture individuallly. That just seems RIDICULOUS. I mean, really. And I've yet to come across a way to fix the videos.
I take pictures and videos with my iPhone for the convenience. But to make them usable, it takes a lot of extra work, which makes it NOT convenient anymore. (And it still doesn't fix the problem with the videos!)
I can't believe this is a problem Apple hasn't fixed yet.The camera roll should be seen just like any other digital camera when connected to your computer. Anything else had to come from your computer to begin with and can not be transferred without purchasing 3rd party software or individually saving them to the camera roll, emailing them, or otherwise finding another way to transfer them.
You do have iTunes installed on the computer, right? The drivers required are included in the iTunes install package. -
It's very odd. I take photos with my iPhone and then later go to view the photos in the Photo Gallery on my iPhone. The photos to appear, but I keep getting "this movie format not supported" alerts, even though I am looking at photos taken by my iPhone. The alert appears briefly just after the photo appears and then the alert goes away and I can see the photo. They are just still photos and not movies. Why wouldn't the iPhone recognize the format of photos it is taking?
That thread helped for a time. But now it seems as though my computer is back to slow again. But, some of the jargon is over my head as well. Not sure I knew quoite everything they were talking about. But thanks a lot for that, it helped I probably just need to reread it and follow the instructions again. Thanks so much.

Why are my pictures taken with my iphone not syncing to iphoto
Up untl a few months ago, I was able to sync the pictures and videos I took using my iphone to iphoto on my mac. This is no longer the case. Can anyone please tell me how I can fix this. I even tried to go the image capture settings, but there are no options on the left for me to choose from. Help me, please. Thanks in advance.
I had the same problem, after a long discussion with Apple one of their engineers came up with the bright idea of restoring from the original backup via WiFi rather than connecting to iTunes by USB. This should give you a pretty good idea as to whether the photos are there in your backup file, as for instance it said uploading 22 of 863 photos for me, left it overnight to restore from backup via WiFi, restarted the iPhone in the morning and all of my photos had been restored. I have since backed up all photos to a very helpful Dropbox "Camera Uploads" update.
To restore from iCloud via WiFi, on your device:
Open Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings
Wait for the device to restart, input Time and Date Settings and Connect to WiFi.
Log in using your Apple ID and select Restore from iCloud Backup. (Ensure it is the iCloud backup with all relevant photos).
Leave device to Restore overnight and restart in the morning! -
I'm having problems uploading video taken with my iPhone 4 to Photobucket. FB will not accept the file extension which is ex. IMG_423. They will play on my computer and will upload to Facebook. Why is the phone taking video with this file instead of something like .mov or mp4. How can I change the extension after the fact and avoid it in the future?
You said, "the 4 also has signal and wifi whereas the 5 has only wifi". By "signal", I'm assuing that you mean cellular signal. If so, that means your iPhone 4 is still active on your cellular number and your iPhone 5 is not. Contact your carrier to sort out which phone is active on your account.

When I import videos taken with my iPhone 4S to my Windows PC, some of the landscape videos are upside down and all of the portrait videos are rotated 90 degrees. It makes a difference depending on what position I hold the Iphone when taking videos. Help!!!!
Sometimes syncing will have problems with very large video files like this. I'm not sure you will be able to overcome this, but if the videos are important enough you may consider purchasing 3rd party software such as Touch Copy to transfer them.

How can I transfer video taken with my iPhone to my iPad WITHOUT using a computer or iTunes? I'm going to Europe for a month and want to use my iPhone to take pics and video, then come back to the hotel room and use my iPad to edit/store each evening. I don't want to use my iPad to take the video...too large/bulky. And I WON'T have a computer with me...I purchased the iPad to take with me so I could use the RDC to my home computer and avoid taking my computer at all. Is this possible?
here is a cheaper solution than camera kit and a lot easier if you have WIFI available.
I use the PhotoSync APP (I think its a $1.99) will transfer videos and photos over WIFI to any other IOS device or even PC/MAC. Great app since I like doing video and photos on my IPHONE and transfer to IPAD2 without synching through computer or doing cloud based storage.
You can even send photos/videos from your MAC/PC to your IOS devices that way too. Makes it so much easier.

HT201269 why can I not get my photos and videos stored on my iphone to import to my new Ipad Air?
Why can I not get my photos and videos stored on my iPhone to import onto my new iPad Air ?
We don't know how to answer because we don't know what you are doing.
I can tell you that you cannot connect the two devices together to transfer content. And videos do not work in Photo Stream, but it does work for photos. However, you can only stream photos to the device after you have enabled photo stream on the iPad. Any photos that were already on the phone - before you turned on Photo Stream -will not sync to the iPad.
Look at this app for the videos.

I recently got a MacBook Pro and want to burn my videos, taken with my iPhone, to DVD. What is the easiest way for me to accomplish this? I've been told I need to download a DVD creator/burner. I've downloaded 3 different free versions, but none of them seem to recognize the video files from my iPhone. I don't need anything fancy or complicated. I just want a way to store these vidoes and be able to play them on our DVD player. Help!
Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder on your PC to /Music/ on your Mac.
Then delete what you don't want.
You will need to authorize yrou computer for the iTunes account yoru mother has.
You should create & use your own iTunes account for any more purchases.
You don't need to export anything and definitely don't need to (and shouldn't) convert anything. -
Why can't we see the details of a picture or video taken with our iphone or Ipad? Detail like when it was taken the picture or when the movie was filmed. I think that this very very important for our memories.
Yes, I know that, but it was easier to see it on the Iphone self, like the other company phones. The name of the picture taken should be the date when it was taken.

Unable to move videos taken with the iPhone from the phone to PC
I am having difficulty moving videos from the iPhone to my PC. To be clear, I am talking about videos that were taken using the phone, _NOT videos downloaded to the phone_. I'm on a PC, I am using Scanner and Camera Wizard. I've been able to move videos to my PC in the past with no trouble. Now, the wizard gets to 100% progress, sits there for a full minute or more, then pops up a message saying it could not be copied. I've repeated the process each time getting the same results. This seems to have started after the last OS update. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I am having a similar issue with my Mom's iPhone 4. She has a PC. I was able to move the files off the iphone (dragging and dropping them from the folder to the file of photos). However, the issue now is to sync the photos and video (shot from the iphone) from the PC back to the iphone. It says that there isn't enough room to copy the files. There aren't that many photos/videos. When I uncheck the "include videos" it won't let me sync.

Why does iMovie not recognize video taken with my iPhone that is in Aperture
Since "upgrading" (not sure that is a good term for this project) to Lion, I am unable to see or import .mov files taken with my iPhone, on a Mac using Aperture and iMovie. I uninstalled 3ivX and now can see them in iPhoto and Aperture but when I try to import them into iMovie you cannot see them in the media browser.
You have to import the movie into iTunes via iOS file sharing, then drag the movie from the file sharing window in iTunes to the desktop, then you can import the movie into iMovie. Here are the details.

How to Export photos and videos from Mac to iPhone?
Hi everyone,
I was trying to export a video from my Macbook Pro (Mid 2014) running latest version of OS X to my iPhone 5 (running iOS 8). I have tried everything in iTunes and iPhotos to be able to export Photos and videos to 'Photos' icon in my iPhone, but haven't got success so far. It's easy to do in a windows computer just copy and paste but I don't know how to do it in a Mac...
Could anyone here help me with that??
Thanksrunning latest version of OS X
Is that MacOS X 10.9.5, or have you upgraded to a Beta version?
I have tried everything in iTunes and iPhotos to be able to export Photos and videos to 'Photos' icon in my iPhone, but haven't got success so far.
What are your settings on your iPhone for iCloud? Have you enabled iCloud Drive and iCloud Photo Library?
Then you are out of luck. With these settings, syncing of photos with your iPhone is disabled, so you can no longer sync with iTunes.
And the Photo Stream is behaving buggy and will not sync from your Mac to the iPhone.
Try, if disabling these settings and restarting the iPhone will help.
Otherwise, mail the photos or put them into Dropbox, until you can upgrade to Yosemite and iCloud Photo Library on your Mac. -
All photos NOT taken with my iphone have vanished from iphoto
I have just found that all pictures in iphoto except those taken with my iPhone have simply gone. I have searched for them but they don't appear to be anywhere on the machine. Furthermore, I have two cameras that I have downloaded images from quite happily for years from and now my Macbook can't download from them. It doesn't recognise one and just says there's a fault and it can't download images from the other.
Can anyone help?The preceding reply is only accurate in part.
You, too, can influence the way your photos look in an email message read on your friend's computer. You do not say how you enclose the photos as attachments, so I hope you are using the email button at the bottom of the iPhoto window (after having selected the one or more photos you wish to send). Clicking the email button should bring up a dialogue window, asking you to select the Size of enclosure you wish to send: using the drop-down menu, you can select between Small, Medium, Large, and Actual size. The size you select will depend on the eventual use that is to be made of the photos: if this is simply for viewing in the email message, then Small and Medium are appropriate; if the photos are to be viewed more closely, or printed at a relatively small size, then Large might be a better choice; if the photos are to be further processed, or printed in rather better quality, then Actual size is what is needed (actually, you might then simply prefer to send the originals).
The other selection boxes in the dialogue window are to allow you to include textual information, embedded in the photo file(s). Such information should already have been entered in the Information panel in iPhoto for each photo. Usually, you can leave these selection boxes unchecked.
