it's infuriating how intentionally incompatible apple devices are
I hate Apple.
This should be seamlessly easy.
Bro literally on purpose. Makes me want to go back to a Note or something. Android phones easy to transfer. You can literally drag files right to an android
@@MULTIMEDIAKING94 I like apple because of their design and looks just some problrms
it's easy if you want to get back files to youre iPhone just save a copy of youre video or files so simple!
@@MULTIMEDIAKING94 I’m considering switching back to android for this reason as well. Plus, androids have a ton of cool features nowadays.
I'd consider myself pretty efficient with computers. Seems that uploading photos from my iPhone to my PC is the hardest thing I've had to do in years. Garbage.
I am trying to turn a school project and I can seem to do it, it won’t show up in devices
@@itsjustmewolf8351 Same thing happened to me. Restated, plugged and unplugged, checked the manage device page, restated phone, tried to update drivers... no luck.
Same here! Last time I tried all my photos from my computer ended up on my phone, now I tried again, it only downloaded some of the photos and not the videos!! So bloody frustrating and such hard work
The worst device on this beautiful planet is apple product its really is garbage i phone
@@itsjustmewolf8351 if you use canvas it’s easier to get canvas student and office 365 on your phone Ik this is late but whatever😃
This is life-saving. I spent hours last night trying to do this, it's really very maddening how difficult they've made this process.
Hey Justin, Thank you so much for this video. I used VLC method using WiFi. I found it more convenient on Android phone using Chrome rather than PC or Laptop, coz on laptop the whole process was getting interrupted and stopped after 40mb. But on Android phone it was working seamless and I transferred 5 files of 10GB each😄
A big thumbs up 👍
You're welcome - glad you were able to do it! 😃
You saved my butt with this video mate. Thank you. 1 million thumbs ups for you! 👍
Awesome - no problem 😁
To be fair: 1 million is an even number of thumbs up.
If you press thumbs 10 times, you’ve ended up at “not thumbs up”, right? It’s a toggle.
Thumbs up just once is switching from default “Not yet thumbs up” to “YES THUMBS UP”
So.
Either 1 million and one, or 999,999 thumbs up
@@frankcastlefanyes
@@jarlbosh to be fair, okay, okay? What if this is that person with a thousand thousand thumbs, so one million thumbs, but only a single one?
Or what if they are offering a meatless dish they call “Million Thumbs Ups”, and they are offering them a single one of those?
You're a savior, Justin! You really are!
Happy to have helped 👍
Yes... He Is!!! Next time, can you show an animating software which can be easily done by kids...

My entire life just changed at 4:12 as a fellow UA-cam creator who films mostly on his iPhone you have forever changed my life and the way of my work flow! I struggled so much to find my files in the regular windows file explorer method. You definitely deserve 1million+ subscribers. I've lost so much time in my life searching for one video in my whole library. I'm just lost for words, you've helped benefit my future as a content creator and saved me so much time. THANK YOU.
this has also changed my life holy crap
How do you edit your vedios full screen using iPhone
Pls help me, I use the second method and work well but it doesn't save the videos that I put in the folder, but there is only audio on the pc
With this method, I experienced terrible video quality, especially when I added them to editing software. The only way which maintains the video quality is the first one - using a USB cable. Have you experienced the same thing?
I just can't explain how grateful I'm. Have been trying to transfer video from iphone to pc from last 2 hours. Now your vlc hack saved my energy. Great going!!
Awesome, glad the VLC hack worked for you and saved you time and energy! 😊 - Hazel, PV Team
2:50 using itunes
5:30 transferring over wifi
7:55 google drive, dropbox, icloud
tysm! It helped a lot for the times
U are amazing thank u
Thank you so much!
Ty
anyone know how to do it without wifi😭😭 i have data on my phone but i need to get the songs from my files on my computer
I wish I had this as a reference awhile back when I first started shooting videos. I can't tell you how many useless articles and videos I looked at trying to figure how to move from device to another. Thanks!
Why woul dyou shot vide o that’is so rude >:(
I mean shot video
you have earned my eternal subscription and respect, thank you sir
That's awesome to hear - you're welcome! - Hazel, PV Team
Thank you so much for sharing the fantastic file transfer solutions! Before watching this video, I have wasted so many hours transferring large videos from my iphone to the external hard drive connected to my PC. The connection kept getting broken or crashed. I had to reboot my computer every time to reestablish the connection, and then after transferring one large video the connection would break again. It had been a nightmare before using your solution (So far I only tried solution 2). Now it's so easy!
Seriously - the last three videos including this one - all featured information that I needed exactly when I needed it. Timing is uncanny!
Absolute Legend! Just followed your instructions step by step and finally got the files across via the VLC app- Thank you so much for this video Justin, you're awesome bro!
Awesome, no problem!
A BIG, BIG THANK YOU FOR THIS! I wanted to put some videos I shot on my iPhone 13 mini back onto it so I could use the HDR to SDR conversion facility in iMovie for the job, and your tutorial on using the iTunes file sharing apps method worked a treat for me! The iMovie app actually came up, so I was able to transfer them directly to it and have just now been able to do what I wanted to do (the result was exported by iMovie into my iPhone's photos app). You've got a big like from me now and a new subscriber as well. Thank you very, very much again!
You're welcome, David - so glad it worked, cheers! 👍
I struggled with this too. So thank you so much for posting this. Now I can transfer it and not be scared of losing data.
You're welcome, glad we're able to help 🙏 - Hazel, PV Team
You are a life saver Justin, it seems like option 2 is going to work out fine for me. GREAT CONTENT.
Thank you for posting this! It really helped me figure out how to go from PC -> iPhone!
For anyone viewing this, using the second method, you can actually bulk transfer using albums. Just share the album instead of individually transferring said files, you will save a lot more time.
but shared album needs an enough icloud space, that means it is not free
@@ivypscheung71 Not referring to the Icloud method. Talking about itunes method
@@grantforet4538 any ideas why I only get the audio of the video when I transfer the video with iTunes as he did?
Any help is really appreciated!!
Wait how please
When I open file it’s only a audio black screen hvec error any solutions
Extremely valuable information in a very short, sweet and to the point package. Saved me my sanity. Hat tip to you my friend.
So awesome to hear it! 😃
Another great video! This has always been a problem for me. Lately, I have just been backing up my iPhone to iCloud and then download the video or pics I want from the iCloud website directly to my computer. This is just like your google drive method except all the files are already in the cloud. 👍🏼
This helped me so much! I am running for student council and I needed to get my video speech onto my computer, this was the only thing that worked! I used the first method and it was perfect. 🤩
Awesome and good luck! 👍
@@acrazyrug w
Thank you! I was tearing my hair out trying to sort this and couldn’t work out why I couldn’t download the larger videos. I’ve managed it with your iTunes tip. Muchos gracias!!
Bless you, my son! Have been wrestling with this since the beginning and here you made it all sooo easy! Not as easy as using an old iPod, but damn good workaround. They really wanted to make it hard. THANK YOU!!! 😘
You're welcome - glad we could help 🙏
I love you, you don't know the headache that you took off me, I was about to break my phone of the anger I felt. It was very stressful, it's good to know that you can find everything on UA-cam ;)
@@NFSBeast2365 I don't know if the question is for me, but just in case I'm a woman =_=
That's awesome to hear! Glad you made it here! 😊
No shit bro. Sometimes I wonder what jobs was thinking when he made his ridiculous establishment

@@shenurajiv6816 Thank
Why do they make moving files from iPhone to PC so hard 😩
I've watched all the methods and am I right in thinking there's no way to bulk move all the photos/videos from iPhone to PC? They have to be moved individually?
Because windows uses ntfs while apple devices uses fat disk format
and also to make you buy a macbook :D
@@planck2792 -Thats sure not the reason. It’s just their Koding. If you’re able to Jailbreak an iPhone you kan move files hella easy. APPLE just assholes
thank you bro love from india
Use gmail send ur alt a video or foto u want
Yesterday I bought iPad for the first time in my life I got an “Apple” device and in a day I came here and watched and tried so many things;in this much amount of time on Android I could have modded so many apps ;but hey I am looking forward to using this iPad gen 9 for at least an year or 2;wish me luck .Thanks for amazing work around ✌🏼
You're welcome - enjoy your new iPad 👍
Thank you for creating this video. Really nicely made and well presented by you and the edit flow. I am currently using the VLC option over wifi... with a massive 111 Gb file!
So awesome to hear it! 😊
Wouldn’t transfer over cable be faster?
Something so simple yet so much troubleshooting. Brilliant quick-guide. Thank you!
That's great - you're welcome, Tony! 😀
Thanks Justin, I’ve taken your video advice and I’m starting to implement it in my UA-cam Channel. Your channels actually provides stuff that works unlike other channels. P.s I’m a complete UA-cam beginner so this helped me a lot.
Same here @ I agree with you
Thank you for this information! I been able to find many things on your channel to help me on my road to videoing! A 1 hour video and about 7 GB took less than 8 minutes to down load from iphone to pc.
You're welcome - glad we're able to help 😊
This was so helpful😍 I’ve been struggling for weeks. Thanks for this video
You're welcome - so glad you found it helpful 🙏
Thanks Justin for sharing all the options. My best pick is the direct cable transfer (option 1, use it all this while) because for me the reason for making the transfer is to clear the footage or photo off the phone to make some space and edit it on computer. Normally I'm using android phone but sometime I do use Iphone as well. Thank you Bro and keep your awesome tutorials flowing!👊😎
Guys, before you do ANY of this, go to your ipad or iPhone, go to “settings,” go to “photos” and under the section of “transfer to Mac or PC” select “keep originals.” Do this FIRST. Then consider all the other mess.
When I do this the transfer work effortlessly.. But the files won’t play on my computer.
@@gronqvist1111 see if there is an update on your movies and tv player on your PC.
Also, “open with” on your PC might give you options like vlc media. Windows media player is the only one where there might be a problem.
The odd thing is, you can upload it to UA-cam but people have problems on the original export playback.
If none works then sorry - I tried - knowing that I was only saying to try it BEFORE you install unnecessary software.
A BIG thank you, Justin. This was easy to follow and it worked like charm! 👌👌👌👌
You're welcome, Nicholas - Hazel, PV Team
This is such a lifesaver! I'd been using my Mac to create videos for years, but with the newer iPhones I can no longer transfer videos and images without the use of other apps (Such a scam) It never dawned on me that I can still do the same on my PC. Thank you so much!
You're welcome - so glad it helped! 🙏
This really helped me ! I was struggling with this for months, thank you so much !
I'm glad I found this. I've also Subscribed !
So awesome to hear it! 😀Thanks Joyce!
I've been using iPhones for ages, and I despise how proprietary and user-unfriendly Apple's interface is. Why would they make backing up your photos and data so damn difficult when it should be able to be done simply by drag-and-drop. Great advice Justin, but my 12Pro Max might be my last iPhone.
Same here, David. I regret purchasing the Iphone 12.
You saved my life for sharing how to transfer files from windows to iPhone. I have lost 2 days just searching for the way to do it. Your content is extremely helpful. Well done.
Glad we could help! 😊
everyone! just plug your phone to your computer. Give it sometime after plugging into the computer and the DCIM will appear. I read in some forum someone say to do that and it worked! I have a lot of stuff in my phone, so it took a while for it to load to my Pc. We all want it to instantly appear but you have to give it some time. this guy’s video also helped me, the itunes option worked for me from this video.
I AM STICKING AROUND ALLTHE THROUGH BECAUSE YOU THOUGHT ME HOW TO FILM AND EDIT LIKE A PRO THANK YOU SO MUCH! HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!
I like this, really helpful thanks
Makes sense, 👍
Thanks Justin! I've been playing with the idea of getting into Apple M1 machines while using Samsung phone... but now I feel I'll just wait for Intel to make ARM chips. This is nuts...
Thank you man! So many times tried to transfer long videos from daughter birthday and this is a real help to me and all of people who comes for same issue. Big respect and thank you so much! Serbia
Don't mention it - glad we could help! 👍
I was about to throw my laptop out of the window. The VLC app worked for me, thanks SO much 🙏🏻
there is nothing wrong with your laptop, it's your iphone you shoud throw ;)
Awesome! Exactly what I was looking for to transfer my B-Roll footage from my phone over to my Adobe Premier Pro for editing! Now I can finally have 2 camera angles for my videos 😁👏
Well done! 😀
You deserve a Prize bro ! This is just a well made video. This is a death sentence to the competing channels !
OMG the VLC transfer was SOOO much better than even trying to do it with the cable! And I believe even faster. Thank you for this!😀
You're welcome 😊
I'd been trying to figure this out for many months now thank you so much
Glad you made it - no problem 👍
Great video, this tutorial is extremely helpful! Just one more question. Do those methods work for .mkv files as well, or is there a different way to transfer them? Asking cause im thinking of getting an ipad for the first time. Thanks a lot!!
Apple: Watch these tutorials or just buy my iMac
Thank you so much for sharing this, I've been a Samsung android user for over a decade and I just can't seem to get used to this iphone at all. I'm learning everything all over again.

Thank you Justin for this video! It is a great overview of the different options! It's great that you showed live examples with the different methods!
No problem, Timothy!
The most annoying thing about iTunes is that I can know nothing about what backup included in iTunes backup. So I choose m backup per.
Thank you for your video. I did it the old-fashioned way before and would crash or take forever. I now did it the iTunes way you should and much faster. Thank you again!!

I know I can always count on Justin Brown. Thank you so much,you saved me after so much struggle🙏
You're welcome - glad we could help 🙏
Yes, but what about when your computer is recognizing your iphone? Or when you are in middle of transferring videos to your pc in file explorer and then the iphone “stops working” or is no longer recognized by the pc. Then sometimes you plug the iphone in to the computer, file explorer recognizes it and sometimes it doesnt. It is really frustrating

Best folder name in the history!!!
Plugging my phone into my microsoft laptop, and cutting/pasting photos (in any quantity) over to my laptop has never been a problem, however, trying to put movie files, pics, or any files, back on my iphone has never worked out for me.
Justin, your video that explains a few simple steps, has solved this. plug phone into laptop, open itunes, click on phone, click on file share, select google chome app, drag files from desktop into window, BAM!! Iphone takes the files!! I watched Independence Day on my phone, off line! It only took 30 seconds to transfer this file, once I did what you said. Thanks a million for sharing this!!!
You're welcome - so glad it helped 👍
The Desktop to Iphone via iTunes worked for me. Crazy how difficult they make it. Thank you for the video instructions!
You're welcome - so glad it worked! 👍
thanks Justin Sir for tge Update Love from Indiia
I was planning to buy an iPhone for video editing and controlling mini 2. My only concern was file transfer between the phone and my pc. This video was very informative but I am really shocked to see how complicated things are for an iPhone user on a PC. these things are so much easier between an android and PC. It's a shame. Among all three, file management is best on windows hands down, and this proves it.
My daughter wanted to film using her iphone and now I can't upload the footage to my PC :(
@@blaxunicorn1497 if you have good wifi, using one of the cloud services like onedrive or Google drive seems like your best option.that should work. It's tedious as with all things between iPhone and non-iphone, but should work. I am worried about it too once I get my first iPhone.
iPhone really makes small things complicated. From my personal experience. It doesn’t properly sync with non-iOS or Mac devices.
you have earned my eternal subscription and respect, thank you sir

I tried using the cable and the folder DCIM that appears in This PC. But he problem is when I copy the full folder one by one which is 4gb, the connection suddenly stops after few minutes. Please help me resolve this issue using the same method. Many thanks.
Ever figure out a fix? This is my same issue
Probably your file system is fat32. Try with NTFS.
Right click on any of the drive (D drive or E)
Then select format.
Then select file system as NTFS and format.
This will resolve your issue.
I use Wi-Fi transfer with an app and it's my favorite, sometimes an error message pop up when i use the cable on my PC.
