I want to upload a video file to Instagram
I have converted the file from .MOV to .MP4, added it to iTunes, and successfully transferred it to iPnone (sync movies)
I can successfully play the video on iPhone
How do I move this to Camera Roll, so that I can upload to Instagram?
iPhone 5, iOS 7.1.2

Why didn't you simply upload it to Instagram?
Why did you load it to your phone?
How do I move this to Camera Roll,
You don't.
Items get added to the Camera Roll when they are created on the iPhone.
Chris,
Thanks for the response.
Wanted to play the video on the iPhone
Are you saying that it is not possible to move (or save) a video file into camera roll?
If you edit it on the iPhone, the edited version will save to the Camera Roll.
On the Mac XO, I found screen shots of my phone saying is disabled . A couple of fellow users who share with my girls network mentioned on a letter for hacking . I have no problem with games especially threats to my kids thats Nutty!

What?
If you have a question, please post an actual question in your own thread.

i am informed that it is not possible to upload videos from PC to Instagram
also, there is no Edit option on the iPhone for the video. The only option is Delete
Could you please advise how to move or save the file to camera roll?
As has been said, you cannot move it to camera roll.
If you wanted to upload to Instagram, why did you not do so directly on the computer? Why does it need to be done from the iPhone?
It is not possible to upload from computer to Instagram
I cannot believe that it's not possible to move or save a video file to camera roll !!!
I thought that it would be a relatively easy process to move files between folders ???
Sorry, forgot the Instagram website only lets you view pictures but not actually upload anything.
In any case, no iOS devices do not have traditional file systems so there's no direct way to move things between synced folders and the camera roll.
The easiest thing I have found is to use an App like File Manager, to upload the video to through iTunes File Sharing Feature to it on the iPhone. and then use that App to copy the video to Camera the Roll so the Instagram App can see it.

Its a 3 step process, but its doable
Phil0124,
Thanks for the info.
Seems like a complicated process, but as you say - "doable"
I'll give it a go
Thanks again
Dave
or just use some other app to upload them from computer to Instagram.
If you can skip a step, then why not skip a step?
You're welcome. Its not too complicated. Should not take more than 5 minutes really. Its just the intermediate step of copying it onto a middle man app so to speak before getting it to the Camera Roll.
There are apps you can use on your computer to upload to Instagram.
No need to 1st upload to iPhone to do it.
Apparently though, I'm not allowed to help you find an app for your computer to do this.
if youhave a G Drive account through Gmail you can just upload to that. Access your G Drive through the app in the app store. Inside the app you will have the option to save and when it does it will save to your camera roll
