I want to import mp4 videos to my iphone

Drag and Drop using Finder looks like it's going to work but then nothing happens. Similarly AirDrop goes through the motions of copying the files but then I don't see them. Even the Music App doesn't seem to want to import them. What am I doing wrong?

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 17

How to (why can I not?) transfer MP4 video from MacOS to iPhone? Says not enough space, but I have 100's of GB of free space! I have the exact same issue as... How to transfer mp4 files to my iPhone x - Apple Community I'm on a MacBook Pro with M1 Max chipset and an iPhone 11 Pro Max iPhone with 100's of GBs of free space on it. I have an MP4 video file on my MacBook that I need on my phone. I've tried Airdrop, which does not work and does not give any error message — just disappears. I've tried Music App (while connected with Lightning cable / USB), nothing there works. When trying under Movies tab, nothing happens, and when trying under File tab it erroneously claims I don't have enough free space. I've also tried via the Finder window's left side bar that allows access to the iPhone when connected via Lightning cable / USB), nothing there works. There has to be a way to get this video file to the phone! Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.

Movies transfered from Mac to iPad show up as music videos I have my ipad connected to my MB pro via usb-C. I’ve tried transcoding the video into several formats that are supposedly compatible with ipad, and have the ipad set to ‘manually manage music videos and tv shows’. drag n drop the video to my ipad via Finder and it accepts the transfer BUT the video appears on the ipad under ‘Songs’ and plays like a music video instead of as a regular movie. how can I get it to show up as a movie? note: I do have Cloud Music Library selected for music which may be causing the problem, I’m not sure. *when I transfer via AirDrop they go to the Photos library which is not what I want either. I’d like them to be ‘Movies’ in the TV app if possible. Mac: MB Pro 2017 Ventura 13.3.1 iPad pro 6th OS 16.4.1
