Why can't I upload videos from my iPhone 5 to Facebook (and twitter)?

I tried both in the Facebook app and also directly from my photos.

Frustrating yes, I know. I could not upload my first iPhone 4 video (that I transfered to MacBookAir) to FB. FB kept telling me it was not in the correct format & it recommended it be in MP4 and max size is 25MB. The video, I understand, needs to be compressed first so I used "Smart Converter" a free app I found at the App Store (with the most positive ratings) to convert it first, THEN upload it and it was successful. I hope this works for you too.

  • All of a sudden, I can't upload videos from my iPhone 4. I can send them in emails and messages, but not to my computer or Facebook (Serious! I know.) Have I done something wrong, pushed a button that I shouldn't have?

    All of a sudden, I can't upload videos from my iPhone to my computer or to Facebook. I can send them in messages
    or emails, however. Did I push a wrong button, and now it won't upload?

    iOS 7.1.2, huh? It MAY be having some trouble with the iOS 8.x devices and latest iCloud features. Although it meets the minimum system requirements, it does not meet the recommended ones - System requirements for iCloud - Apple Support
    You should try Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support - this is generally the first step in troubleshooting, all devices - for all time

    What happens when you use your iPad similarly? (what iPad model & iOS version)
    As a last resort*, Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support - *this document tells that all your data will be lost but provides steps to back-up (Before section) then restore your data (Restore section #4)

  • Can I directly upload video from my HDR-SR11 SONY to Premiere Pro???

    Can I directly upload video from my HDR-SR11 SONY to Premiere Pro???

    thank you Shoot.  I was afraid that the n word would answer that querie.  OK.  Please recommend a FREE software that I can use to import on to the hard drive that is reliable and w/out error messages e.g. "Browser will close" as in sonys PMH a new replacement for PMB that fails horribly.  I uninstalled and installed the Sony  PMH four or five times w/Sony "Techs" [I you want to call them that].  And they admitted that the software has problems.  The final solution from the "tech" on the phone was that to just keep on uninstalling and install until it worked.  Wow!  That coming from Sony the electronics Giant.  Below is the transcript of one of the chats concerning this issue.

    Well, based on the information you have provided seems that issue can be with operating system.
    3:43 PM 
    Angie (C70I):
    As we have solved the issue earlier and worked fine, there can not be a problem with the 'PMH' software.

    "seems" seems very vague

    think Sony would be so stupid to eliminate themselves from the market like that??
    3:45 PM

    I suggest that you contact your computer manufacturer before you uninstall the software and install 'PMB'.
    3:45 PM 
    Angie (C70I):
    'PMH' is a compatible software for Windows 7.

    So you agree that PMH can not work on my computer as well???

  • HT4910 Why can't I sync notes from my iPhone 4S to my ipad mini?

    Why can't I sync notes from my iPhone 4S to my ipad mini?

    Hi Drumsing,
    As long as you have your iCloud account set up and signed in on both devices, and the Notes checke in iCloud on both devices, there is no reason they should not sync.
    Try resetting both devices - Hold down the Hole and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold until the Silver Apple appears. Do that for both, then try Notes again.
    P.S., after you write a note, you need to close the App on the device you wrote the note on before you open the app on the other device to see it.....
    Hope this helps,

  • Why can't I email photos from my iphone 4?

    Why can't I email photos from my iphone 4?

    Since the switch from hotmail to outlook I cannot send photos from my iPhone4.

    Cannot send mail. The username or password for "SMTP:[email protected]@smtp.live.com" is incorrect.

  • Why can't I email photos from my iPhone 4S?

    Why can't I email photos from my iPhone 4S? It goes through the motions, select photo, recipient, file size but nothing is received.

    Are you sending an email using a return address of, say @xxx.com" but using an outgoing server from a @yyy.com service?  If so, this is known as relaying.  Many servers now reject such emails, as this method is often used by spammers.  Depending on your email provider, you may be able to get around that by going into the settings for that email account and finding a place where you can enter a valid @yyy.com address along with a password.  (You'll have to hunt around the settings to find this, IF the account allows for that.)
    Example:  A non-icloud exchange account:  Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars - In the Accounts section, tap the account in question (e.x. yyy.com), tap the Account name, fill in the Username and password in the section that also includes "Domain    Optional"  where optional is in gray.
    Example:  For icloud, Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars - In the Accounts section, tap the icloud account, Tap (in Advanced), "Mail" then indicate emails you want to use in "Allow Sending From".
    Doing so lets you continue using a return address of @xxx.com, but the server also gets the valid address and password for its service and forwards the email as it should.

    Why can't I delete Mail from my iPhone? it just allows me to Archive, and where do the archives go?

    You'll have to go to your Settings -> Mail, Contacts, etc -> Email Account -> Advanced -> Deleted Mailbox
    Turn off Archive mode, Turn on Trash
    You can also put the phone in airplane mode to delete them real quick, but that's only a temporary fix.

  • Can  you move your notes from one iphone to another and how?

    Can you move your notes from one iphone to another and how?

    You can do this a couple ways.  If you are using MobileMe, notes is one of the options for synchronization and that would be automatic.  Another way is to backup your iphone to iTunes, this backs up essentially all the information on your phone (except for music) and if you restore the other iphone to the image of the original your notes will be transfered.

  • Why can't I email videos taken with iphone 4 from my mac

    Why can't I email videos taken with my iphone 4 from my Mac? It says the video is to big or long but the particular one I am trying to send is only 1 min 16 sec long. I don't remember having this problem with my 3gs. I am trying to email them with my yahoo act, and I see this very same question was asked July of 2010, but their are no replies. It may be a very simple fix, but I can't seem to figure it out. Surly, I don't have to reduce my videos to 30 sec or less to get them to send. Can anyone please help a gal out?
