Transfer MMS-Videos from iPhone to macbook pro

First save them to your camera roll. Import from your camera roll.

I have same question.

3GS. Up to date software. Not jailbroken.

I receive MMS videos from friends (who do not have iphone), and while I can play them and "tap to save" to photo roll (and play them from there also), they are not showing up in iphoto when I connect my iphone. Although videos I take DO show up. Image Capture is the same. It is like my macbook thinks the video doesn't exist.

I ended up emailing the MMS Video to myself (so I could save it) and it is a .3gp video file. It played fine from my email to myself (and I can import it from my email to iphoto and it recognizes it and plays it in quicktime). But would this video filetype prevent it from being recognized by iphoto? It recognizes everything else in my photo roll and can import photos and other videos (ones I took) just fine.

Thoughts?

similar problem: iphone 3G, someone MMS'd me a video. i can watch it from the message and save it to my Camera Roll. When I look at the Photo Albums page the number of items next to Camera Roll is 1 greater than the number displayed at the bottom of the actual Camera Roll page.

The video is in there according to Photo Albums, and it's in Camera Roll, but Camera Roll can't see it once you're acutally in there. Same with if I connect to iPhoto -- no video file available to grab.

It's there but it's not. Any ideas?

(yes, i've read the manual.)

I have a 3GP video file that has been e-mailed to me and I am unable to "tap to save"; it plays fine on my iPhone 3GS but when I touch the screen in an attempt to get the "Save" option absolutely nothing happens. Are only certain video file types supported with respect to saving from e-mail/mms?

I've been experiencing this exact same problem.

I have the same problem. Tap to save, camera roll icon changes to new video, but when i actually go into the camera roll, it's not there. And when I sync the iPhone, it doesn't show up in iPhoto to upload. Please help.

Thanks,

Use Image Capture instead of iPhoto

Good idea, didn't think of doing that...but alas, it doesn't show up in there either. Thanks.

Ok, I found a third party app that helped me find the video I was looking for on my iPhone. It's a Mac program called iPhone Explorer. When in the program, my file was in the DCIM folder then the 100APPLE folder, and it had a .3gpp file extension. Hope this helps. It worked for me.

Also, I talked to a support person about this problem before I found the program and he said it was probably not working because of the file type, since it was shot and sent from another phone.

Thanks,
Clayton

Forgot to say that when I found the file in that program, all i had to do was drag and drop it onto my desktop.
