Other Can't import large movie from iPhone to iPhoto...?

[thelawman999]

3 Years later and I've just used your solution to fix this problem on my iPhone 5SE. Thanks!
(Weird though, initially iPhoto said there was not enough space available, so I cleared some space, then it did not give any more errors about not enough space and I had 7 GB more free than I needed.)

Me too THANK YOU !!!! 53 min vid on iPad2 that just refused to sync, upload etc and after reading this and drag and drop with image capture I can now fix the corrupted video on my Mac. Cheers

I can't import a 55 minute video recorded with iphone 4 into iphoto.
I get an error message every time.
It's not important to me to get it into iphoto....but i do need it moved to the computer as a .mov file.

Any tips or programs to help me yank the large video file off the phone and on the imac?!?!

Thanks.

Use Preview to import your movies instead. Then use software such as Mediahuman to convert them to mp4s!

You can't get Image Capture on Windows can you? Does anyone have a solution for Windows users?

Large movie (3.9 GB) from iPhone 5

I had the same issues describe in this thread for my new iPhone 5 connected to a Mac AND had the same set of error messages.

I resolve two issues:
1- file would not transfer because I was short on disk-space on cpu - solution, save to external drive. This may not be the source of the error for the original post, but I had a message saying that there was an error initially with syncing the iPhone with iTunes where it did not say why the sync failed.

2- I used ImageCapture, but NOT the import button. I simply used drag-and-drop on to my external drive. ImageCapture showed that the file was being transferred, as it does with the normal import mode. The move opened and played. There were some stripes on the video (possible compression issues) so I retransferred the 3.9 GB file and the movie played flawlessly.

I hope that this helps.[

Just wanted to add that this solution is almost perfect, BUT

another possibility to check is that the PHONE’s memory is almost too full

I had plenty of remaining space on my mac, but Image Capture still wouldn’t work

But after I transferred off and then deleted several hundred photos from my phone using Photos, Image Capture worked to transfer my really long movie

(my PHONE was low on space, but not the mac — it seems that the PHONE being low on space can also prevent Image Capture from otherwise working)

Kind of weird that one has to transfer the files from the phone to the computer in a certain order, but whatever, this took 12+ hours of my life and I am glad that it is now finally over
