Why can't I save videos from my email to my camera roll

When I tap and hold the video after I have downloaded it, it only gives me the option for quick look or cancel. I have the iPhone 4s and the software has the latest update. Does anyone know how to get these videos to save?

How do I save videos from my stream to my camera roll?

I'm trying to make an iMovie, and my friend shared a video with me on an iCloud sharing stream, but I can't figure out how to download it/ save it so I can include it in my movie. Help?

If you have a video in camera roll on the ipod touch is it only videos taken with the actual ipod or is it possible to transfer videos from your computer to the camera roll?

If you have a video in camera roll on the ipod touch is it only videos taken with the actual ipod or is it possible to transfer videos from your computer to the camera roll? The ipod touch was bought in feb. 2011

You can transfer videos from your computer to the iPod Touch, but not to the Camera Roll.
The Camera Roll is for temporary storage only - for photos/videos captured by the iPod Touch and for photos saved from a received email or from a website. Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.

Why can't I transfer video from iphoto onto an external HD?

Can anyone tell me why I cannot transfer my iphoto video onto an external hard drive from imovie? Basically I am trying to transfer all my video from imovie onto an external hard drive to clear up space, but I cannot seem to find a way to do the video under iphoto. It let's me transfer all other video, but not the video under iphoto.

Have you tried the Export function in iPhoto? Since there is one with choices including Quicktime, I would guess that it has to be rendered first. So, you could try that and save it to your desktop and then copy it over (or, if available, directly to the external).

Why can't i delete videos from my ipad mini 2?

Hi,
I'm running out of space on my iPad mini 2, 32gb, ios8.1.2. I want to delete some videos I shot on holiday last year, so I can make some more this year.
In the camera roll, I hit select, select the vids to delete, but the trash can icon goes grey (inactive) instead of blue (active). Deleting photographs is not a problem.
These films are not on my Cloud drive. I copied them onto my laptop - for editing purposes and backup. They are in a sub-folder in Movies, not in iTunes, as far as I can tell.
This doesn't explain why they are still on my iPad, despite all attempts to delete them!
Please help - I dare not shoot more vid until I know I'll be able to get rid of it!
thanks
James

Hi ayliffesmith,
Is it possible that these videos are being used in an iMovie for iOS project? That would cause it to be impossible to delete them. See this article for how to complete the deletion -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Why can't I view video from my SD card on my Mac? It appears on my RFH400 but not the Mac?!

I recorded four short videos onto an SD card using a Canon HFR400 video camera. When I load the SD card into the computer I’m only able to view one video. The others show no images, only a black screen but each will play for the length of each video.
Weird part is that I can play back all four videos in playback mode on the camera. It’s just loading them onto the computer which causes 3 of 4 to go blank. Any idea why it’s not allowing me to view??
I thought it had to do with the format or possibly using a Mac, but it doesn’t make sense that one video can be seen and the others can’t. They were all shot within 15 minutes of each other. May have to try Canon tech support but it doesn’t seem to be a camera issue.

Hi canondude!
Thanks for posting.
Ho are you bringing the video clips over to your computer? Are you connecting the camera or are you using a card reader? What program are you using to import the video clips?

Why can't I stream videos from my iTunes to my appletv/ipad anymore?

I have updated all the software to the latest versions on all the devices, but recently I am unable to stream any of my videos from my iTunes library under the "computers" app. I have a MacBook Pro, appletv hd, and ipad 3, and I could only play videos on iTunes on my MacBook. Songs are also unable to play, it will play a snippet, stop then play another tiny bit, sort of like its streaming extremely slow. It won't stream hd or sd videos. I've tried resetting the modem/router, restoring the appletv, and nothing seems to work. Also, the weird thing is that i am able to stream to my xbox videos and music without any trouble, i only get the problem trying to stream to other apple products. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Dont know if i made it clear in the previous post, but it used to work with no problem, it's just recently that this has begun to be a problem. could it be the latest updates that are causing the problem? the only thing ive been doing differently is i've begun transfering my dvd collection to digital copies to stream through itunes. the digital files are ones that itunes recognizes and worked before. is it possible to have a library that is too large and slows down the streaming? i tried using airplay last night, with the same results, the loading wheel just spins forever. the AppleTV can find the itunes library, and all the files on it, but they just dont play.

Why can't I import videos from my own DVD's???? Am I doing something wrong

I've been trying to put a video on my ipod but am not having any success. I can't even get the DVD saved to my PC. Do I have to buy the video from itunes even though I already own the DVD???
Any input appreciated!

To convert a DVD for iPod use, you'll need to use third-party software.
You'll first need decrypting software to remove the encryption on the DVD.
Then you'll need conversion software to convert the decrypted files into an iPod friendly format.
Sometimes, both of those tasks can be accomplished with one piece of software.
PQ DVD seems to be popular for Windows users, as well as ImTOO.

Why can't I save video attachments to my iphone?

Okay, so I've sent myself some videos that are in the original format I got when I got them off my iphone.
I used to be able to save videos by holding down and pressing the "save" button. Now when I hold it down,
it shows me some freaky "quick look" button. I can't save it and I've been trying for days.
It's frustrating!

Importing photos&videos from iPad photos NOT in camera roll

For now I have around 3300 files and 16 in camera roll. i want to import all 3300 to my mac. i have already the 16 but decided to keep them for now.
I noted that with iphoto IOS in my ipad I can select range of photo to be sent to camera roll.

Why can't I save pictures from Safari in my Photos app anymore?

I can not save any photo from mail or safari in the photos app since I upgraded to iOS 5. This is very annoying since i lost all the media I had doing this and now I can't get my pics back. I will complain in an apple store soon. I hope they will fix this, or sb here will figure out whats wrong...
Thanks

I'm glad you answered so quick ;)
I think my problem is harder to solve than that. What you say is what I first tried to do. Since the sync with iTunes was still working, I could still have some pictures in the photos app, and each time I was syncing new pics from my computer ( PC btw ) I had a prompt that said sth like "xx elements have not be synced, check what on iTunes on the PC" but there was nothing on iTunes, and every pic I synced was here in the photos app. I thought there was a directory problem, or ghost pic files issues, so I made a backup of the iPad from iTunes and I disabled the autosync with iTunes. when I got it back, I directly tried to save a pic from safari and mail (even before syncing anything) and it was still not working.
I really can't figure out why is this occurring, and I haven't tried anything else for now. I think I will show this up in an apple store cause it's kinda hard to explain.
PS: sorry for the mistakes, I know this is annoying and makes my weird stuff hard to understand, but English is not my first language. (but I will keep on, the English community is still the best!)

Why can't I save pdfs from web anymore?

I noticed this recently, it didn't dawn on me at first, thought it was a particular web security, but even common sites I save from are no longer letting me. There is no save icon, no menu, nothing. I am using Adobe 9 reader, with Firefox browser and Win XP. I can recall a fairly recent update from Adobe, it may be since then. Can anyone help?

Hi and thanks for interest.
Can't find a way to reply via the forum (must be me) so I hope this is successful to answer both suggestions:
I had another look at the Firefox menu, and saw (maybe overlooked) the option of "save PAGE as". Decided to try that and it saves the pdf file (not just the page). I knew right-clicking had not worked, but tested all options again. No idea why or what changed, as used to have a save option on left or have the floating menu (rt click?). Anyhow - cracked it now - thankyou!

Why can't I stream video from safari mobile to my apple tv?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't iOS 4.3 supposed to bring the ability to send my video I am watching on Safari Mobile to my Apple TV? As of right now, and I am running iOS 4.3.3, all I can do is send the audio from Safari to my Apple TV. Does anyone have any ideas?

I thought AirPlay was only for iOS5 devices (IP, iPad, iPod).

Why can't I stream video from my iphone to Apple TV but audio works fine?

I can't figure it out. Using Airplay, the audio from a movie in Itunes plays on the tv and a small icon in the bottom left of the screen but no video. Help please?
I have an iphone 3gs.
Thanks, Mitch

Why can't I import videos from my Sony HDR-PJ710?

I've read lots of literature that suggests importing the video files directly from the camera, but when I open the "Import from Camera" menue, the handycam isn't displayed. So basically I can't create an archive through FC, I can't simply drag and drop the .mts files into FC, I can't even acces the "PRIVATE" folder by double clicking on it in finder. I have to "Open Package Contents" to get down to the "STREAM" folder, but at that point, the path has been messed up anyways, so it's pointless as I undertand it. I just really don't want to convert every one of my video clips. FC should be capable of importing them, so I'm assuming that I'm doing something wrong. Is there a way to create a camera archive without going through FC, or somthing like that?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanky!

Copy the entire file structure intact to your computer and import from that.
