How to get my movies from my iPhone 4s?
I have a 64 GB iPhone 4s, all that space seemed pointless to waste so I ripped the DVDs of Star Wars to my computer and uploaded them to my iPhone.
Long story short, I needed to do a clean install of Windows to my computer and, my backups were corrupt, and the DVDs are at a friend's house a long ways away and to rip them again I'd need to get them to mail them.
I was wondering if there were a way for me to pull the movies off of my iPhone to my computer.iTunes requires me to wipe them off my phone if I want to sync movies, and my searches all resulted in getting the videos I took myself rather than the ones accessible via the "movies" app.
1. Open the iTunes software.
2. Connect your iPhone to the compter using the USB sync cable. The large end of the USB cable goes into the dock connector port on the bottom of the iPhone, the other end of the cable is connected to the USB port on your computer.
3. Select the "Movies" list under the "Library." This will open up the Movies playlist in the larger pane in the interface.
4. Drag and drop your movies into the "Movies" playlist.
5. Convert your movies to make them compatible with iPhone, if needed. Select the movie in the movie list. Go to the "Advanced" menu at the top of your interface. Then select "Create iPod or iPhone version." iTunes will then convert your video to a compatible MPEG-4 format.
6. Select the "Movies" folder under your iPhone in the left pane. This will open up the Movies playlist and its contents in the larger pane on the iTunes interface.
7. Drag your movie from your Movies list in the Library and drop it into the Movies playlist under your device name. Your movie will now transfer to your iPhone.
- Will my iPhone get heavier if i put more things into it like movies and music? I have a 16GB iPhone 4S and I was wondering if my iPhone will get heavier with more media in it? For example, if I put 3 HD movies, 110 songs, 3 audio books, and podcasts in it, will it gain like 1/2 oz? I mean, with al that media, it has to, right?
- Why won't my movies sync into my my iphone? I have the Iphone 3GS and I can clearly see the movies in the Itunes movie library but it won't sync! Any ideas? Its 720p HD also.
- Is there an iPhone app to stream movies from my computer to my iPhone via a network? The ability to stream video files that are on my computer exists on other devices I own (for example I can watch video files from my computer on my Xbox 360 without having to move them since my computer and Xbox are on the same lan network).So I'm just wondering if there's a way to watch my video files on my iPhone while being connected to my Wi-Fi (the same Wi-Fi my PC is connected to). I hope I explained this in a way that makes sense.
- If I get someone an iTunes gift card, can they use it to buy movies and then watch those movies on AppleTV? I haven't really been able to find a practical answer on any Apple site or forum. My brother buys & rents a lot of movies via his AppleTV. I want to get him an iTunes gift card but am not sure if buying movies on the AppleTV works through iTunes. Would an iTunes gift card work for this purpose? I know it may have to be redeemed on a phone/computer but I want to know if it can then be used on the AppleTV.
