Transfer movies and
music from Mac to iPhone, and vice versa
iPhone can’t be used as an external hard drive once
connected to your computer. In order to add your local movies or songs to
your iPhone, things you need to do:
1. Make sure the file formats are compatible with iPhone.
iPhone only accepts videos in MOV, MP4, M4V and some kind of AVI, music in MP3,
AAC, AIFF, WAV etc. If not, convert your files to the compatible format first.
2. Make sure the media file is encrypted or not. If your
media files are purchased by yourself from iTunes or shared by others and have
been authorized, go to step 3; if not, make it DRM free first.
3. Sync items from your computer to the iPhone. Take transferring
Mac videos to iPhone for example:
Via iTunes: launch iTunes -> connect iPhone to your Mac
-> click on Movies -> drag any movie(s) in the iTunes library to your
iPhone’s name in the left sidebar of the iTunes.
Via iCloud: If you have other iOS devices running iOS 5 and
have iCloud backups, you can log in iCloud on your new iPhone (go to Setting
-> iCloud -> Enter your Apple ID info -> then you will get a iCloud
terms doc, agree it) and restore the iCloud backup on the device.
Via SyncPod: download and install SyncPod -> connect your
iPhone to Mac -> find the original movies on your Mac or iTunes library in
the right pane of the SyncPod, drag them over to the left. This Mac app is
available for transferring your iPhone contents back to Mac.
Transfer movies, music etc. from iPhone to computer
iTunes is not available here because it’s a one-way street
in transferring. So as to back up your iPhone items to your computer, you can:
Transfer files to Mac OS X Lion via iCloud: back up your
iPhone contents to iCloud on your device, then open your Mac to restore
contacts, iCal calendars, safari bookmarks and more.
Transfer iPhone items to your Mac via SyncPod: just as
transferring media files from Mac to your iPhone introduced above, here you can
open SyncPod -> plug iPhone into Mac -> select the items on the left pane
where your iPhone items show and drag them over to the right. Detailed info:
User Guide of SyncPod for Mac.
Transfer photos from iPhone to Mac or Mac to iPhone
If you have some photos you wanna add to your new iPhone
5, you can also use iTunes, iCloud and SyncPod to achieve it:
Via iTunes: open iTunes -> connect iPhone to Mac ->
click iPhone’s name in the left sidebar of the iTunes -> click on Photos
-> tick Sync Photos from and specify the very folder where your original
photos are located.
Via SyncPod: same as transferring music, movies from Mac to
iPhone 5 above.
Via iPhoto
Transfer photos from iPhone to Mac
You can use iPhoto to transfer photos shot by your iPhone,
saved in Safari or Mail or use SyncPod to transfer all kinds of iPhone photos
to your Mac. Detailed info: transfer iPhone photos to Mac.
You can also use iCloud to backup images from your iPhone
and then go to your Mac OS X Lion (10.7.2 or above) to restore the photos.
If you used to use a featured phone, an Android phone or an
old iPhone, you can also go to Move to iPhone 4S for more info.
