Why does itunes say that my iphone has 9GB of video data even though I've deleted every video I've ever made

Hello,
When I use itunes on my macbook to view the contents of my iphone 5, the bar at the bottom of the window that shows me how much data is taken up for different categories says that I have 9 GB of video data. The thing is, I deleted all of the videos that I've ever recorded on my phone, but itunes still says I have 9.15 GB of video data! I ejected my iphone and plugged it back in multiple times to see if it was a problem with refreshing, but that didn't work. Itunes also says that I only have about 3 GB of free space left and when I go to the settings on my iphone, it says the same thing, so I know that there really are mysterious files on my iphone taking up 9 GB of space. Also, both itunes and my iphone says that I have 83 video files. I've deleted as much apps as I could, just incase there were apps that had video files included in them, but that didnt really work. I also opened the video app in utilitties on my iphone and it said that I do not have ANY videos. I don't really know what else to do.
Is there any way to just see all of the files on my iphone? Itunes does not let me do that. It only lets me view certain files from apps like adobe reader. I need to find out what video files itunes is detecting on my iphone. Again, I've deleted all of the videos that I made on the phone by using the photos app. I never downloaded video files from safari either.
Thanks in advance

since moving to the mac from windows, this seems to happen less. I also found that having some videos marked as "remember playback position" resulted in a lot of updates to the ipod when i had watched them through itunes.

  • Why does iTunes say that I have to delete all my applications?

    I'm trying to create photo albums for my iPhone 4. I'm doing this by connecting my phone to my computer (I use Windows XP), selecting My iPhone, clicking the Photos tab and selecting the folder that I want to sync to my phone. When I do this, I get a pop up that says "Are you sure you want to remove 26 applications? This will delete these applications and their data from the iPhone." and I do NOT understand why I'm getting this. HELP PLEASE

    Your apps were installed from a different computer than the one your photos are on. The iPhone can sync with only one computer.

  • Why does itunes say that i have music on my iphone that i do not?

    Hi,
    Wondering if anyone can help with this, its really doing my head in.
    Until now, I've always deleted songs off my iphone using itunes on my pc. With the new ios and itunes update, I'm no longer able to do this.
    The one thing that is annoying me the most is when connecting my iphone to my pc, I select my iphone and then On This Iphone. For some reason, its showing me songs that I don't have on my phone. There is no way for me to delete this information. I've checked my actual phone and the songs listed aren't actually on the phone but I was wondering if anyone could tell me why its telling me I have music that I don't.
    Any suggestions?
    Can anyone also tell me if there is a way to use itunes on my pc to delete songs off my iphone? Yes I know you can do it directly via the device but I want to know via itunes on a pc.
    Thanks!

    Yes, I also have an edit button.  I'm trying to create a new folder with a name of my choosing.  When I choose edit, I go to a screen that allows me to add one of a number of pre-named folders.  There is no way to add my own.
    When I look up how to do it online, what I get are great instructions with screen shots that don't look like what I have on my iPhone.  There are also bars on the top and bottom of these screen shots that I don't have   I clearly do not have the same version.

  • Why does iTunes say that I have to remove and reinstall it every time I connect my iPhone 4?

    Okay, so I just received my new iPhone 4 (my first as well) and am trying to activate it.  I have iTunes on my computer already.  When I connected my iPhone to my laptop after launching iTunes, a dialog box with an error message saying something like my iPhone can't be used because the software hasn't been installed and that I'm supposed to run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes and then to reinstall iTunes again.
    1.) I have gone directly to the website www.itunes.com/download, as it says in the activation guide, and tried to download iTunes from there.  After speaking to technical support, apparently that's what I did wrong the first time.  That, and I had the phone plugged into the laptop as well. Fail.
    2.) I have opened iTunes from my desktop and "updated" the software directly from the iTunes store.  Still I received the same message (as previously stated) with NO PHONE attached to the computer. Although, this time it said that my Quicktime was out of date. Uninstalled it, downloaded update. Epic fail.
    3.) Lastly, I completely uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled the "new" iTunes.  I officially suck at life.

  • Why does it say that the version has not been correctly localized for my language when I try to open it?

    I am trying to open my itunes on my windows computer. It won't open and a box appears that says " The version of iTunes has not been correctly localized for this language. Please run the english verson."

    Let's try a repair install of iTunes.
    Restart the PC first.
    If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair".
    If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", and click "Change". Select "Repair" and click "Next" as per the following screenshot:
    Can you launch your iTunes now?

  • In the "about" section of settings below the "network" my iphone says Line, why does it say that????

    in the "about" section of settings below the "network" my iphone says Line, why does it say that????

    Try a re-set. If that doesn't fix it, restore. If that doesn't fixit, Set it up as a new device, preferably by putting into DFU mode.
    If none of that fixes it, the WiFi radio has physically failed.

  • Why does Itunes say it can't find the original file for a particular song?

    why does Itunes say it can't find the original file for a particular song? and then asks if I want to locate it? I can't access a bunch of old song files. any new cds are available to me in itunes. all others are not accessible. how do i merge the new cd's with the old ones so that all the songs are playable in Itunes. thanks.

    Of course, I have backed up to CD and/or external drive.
    I'm wondering if you're attempting to maintain your library on your external HDD? If iTunes has been directed to use a location on your external hard drive as your iTunes Music Folder location (you can check this in iTunes > Preferences > Advanced tab) you MUST ensure that the hard drive is connected to the computer and mounted in the Finder prior to launching iTunes. If it isn't, it can cause this error to appear. This is probably one of the most common reasons this error begins to appear.
    It seemed my purchased songs were the first to DISAPPEAR and I had to rebuy.(Nice scam in the bug?)
    So... why not restore them from your backup? If, for some reason, this wasn't an option, you could have also recovered them from any iPod or iPhone they were currently synced to (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848), or, you can also email iTunes Store support and request a "regrant," which is a once-per-account exception they might be able to offer you and allow you to download missing purchases again.
    I am now convinced this a HUGE BUG in 7.7.1. and possibly the previous version or two.
    I'm not so sure... I've never run across this particular error (my library is stored on my internal hard drive, but copied to an external for backup purposes with an application other than iTunes or Finder. I don't think Apple will provide acknowledgment to issues experienced only by very small numbers of people... I'm one of those, perhaps foolish, individuals who allows my computer to download updates immediately, rather than waiting for fear of problems, and again, I've never had this error.

  • Just downgraded back to iTunes 10.7 and copied music from ipod classic to itunes using houdini, but how do i copy the playlists from the ipod when itunes says that my ipod has been synced to another itunes library?

    Just downgraded back to iTunes 10.7 and copied music from ipod classic to itunes using houdini, but how do i copy the playlists from the ipod when itunes says that my ipod has been synced to another itunes library?

    Thank you again for all of your help!! I really appreciate it!
    I think I am following -- I was able to upload to my iPhoto and all photos and videos are there that is a plus! I tried to create an Event in my iPhoto and put all of my photos in that event but for some reason, now my iTunes it not recognizing that Event in my iPhoto. It is not allowing me to import just that event at the moment but I may be doing something wrong. At least all of my pics and vids are in iPhoto so that is a plus and I know they are at least saved somewhere. Just for some reason, my iTunes it not locating the event that I created with only those photos.
    Thank you for letting me know about my contacts! How do I know if I have the contacts app?
    Also, I had no clue that my iCloud could be backed up via cellular data! However, is this a new feature with the most updated iOS?? Unforutnatly I am like 2 iOS updates behind because I don't have enough storage on my phone. I still get the notification that my phone needs to be plugged in and connected to wifi in order to back up to the cloud :-(
    How can I sync using USB? Right now when i click on the info tab for my iPhone in my iTunes this is the answer that I get -- I am a little unclear as to what it means.
    Sync Contacts:
    Your contacts are being synced with you iPhone over the air from iCloud. Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on you iPhone
    Sync Calendars:

  • Why does itunes say the entry point is not found

    why does itunes say it didn't install correctly and to reinstall?

    Greg, did the "Patchburn" really work for you?
    I had the same problem today. I have a smart playlist made up of: Kind>is>Protected AAC audio file. This smart play list allows me to keep track of music I've downloaded from the iTMS after inadvertently deleting the Purchased Music default playlist. Yes, I know a new “Purchased Music” playlist is created when you buy music again, but it doesn’t contain any of the songs you’ve already downloaded.
    When I went to burn this playlist (several hundred songs) to multiple audio CD format - I go the same result you got.
    "After asking to burn a play list it asks to insert CD, checks the media, checks the play list and then stops with the apple icon reappearing and NO error message."
    Apple tech support couldn’t help me - I found that out the hard way - after 1.5 hours on the phone. No, I haven't exceeded the 7 time burn limit either.
    I tried selecting all the songs in the smart playlist and creating a new [regular] playlist and tried to burn from that, but got the same result.
    Finally, I tried typing "Protected AAC audio file" from my main library in the search window, selected all the songs that resulted, created a new [regular] playlist from that selection and the burn was successful.
    It was a real pain and took almost 3 hours to figure out, but it worked. I'm going to try the "Patchburn" download talked about earlier, but don't know if that's the real problem.
    Yes, I have upgraded my SuperDrive, but iTunes recognizes it - Preferences>Advanced>Burning - if your drive shows up here then that's not the problem. Besides, I had the same problem when trying to burn to the original SuperDrive too.
    I think the problem may be deeper inside iTunes itself. Duh! Maybe something with Apple tightening their DRM scheme which may make us unwitting beta testers to see if they tightened the noose too tight or not. Just a guess.
    Any thoughts, anyone?

    Put simply, the minimum system requirements for iTunes have changed. You need a Mac running at least OS X 10.6.8.
    It's best you look online to see if your model of Mac can be upgraded to at least 10.6.8 "Snow Leopard". It should still be possible to order a copy of Snow Leopard if so.

  • ITunes says I have authorized five computers so I can no longer play music I have purchased. I have not replaced my computer once. Why does iTunes say this?

    iTunes says I have authorized five computers so I can no longer play music I have purchased. I have not replaced my computer once. Why does iTunes say this?

    Hey Christownsend,
    Thanks for the question. To troubleshoot this issue, you may want to try deauthorizing all computers:
    iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420
    To deauthorize all computers associated with your Apple ID
    If you need to authorize your new computer and are unable due to already having five authorized computers, you can deauthorize all computers by doing the following:
    1. Click iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
    2. If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
    3. Click the Account button again (your Apple ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
    4. In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.
    Note: You may only use this feature once per year. The Deauthorize All button will not appear if you have fewer than two authorized computers. If you need assistance on using this feature, please contact iTunes Store support via email (http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/).
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Why does it say that the updated version of Firefox (which I am trying to download) is not compatible with my operating system when I have Mac OS X 10.5.8?

    Why does it say that the updated version of Firefox (which I am trying to download) is not compatible with my operating system when I have Mac OS X 10.5.8? I had an older version of Firefox and it said I needed to update it but that was the message that appeared.

    Sorry, it's because Firefox 4+ are only compiled for the Intel processors.
