HI All, here's a techy question for some able bodied knowing person........I am trying to upload a 5min video from my iphone to face book and it doesn't like it. The file won't copy from my i-phone to my laptop either. Anyone any idea how to get it from the phone to a) my laptop and b) to fb.

Thanks for any advise.

Hi Jessie,
It goes through the motions of copying the file from the iphone and then just stops and there is nothing there - it is rather a large file th-nking
On fb from the phone, it compresses the video and get stuck trying to upload it ....

HI Jessie,
Yes I do and I can see it on the my computer as a "drive" if you like and it can see the file, it will copy the one above and the one below but not this one, it is 700 MB or so......

HI Jessie
I believe it is to do with Windows XP and the size of the file I am trying to copy over. I now wonder if I plug my iphone into any laptop or pc that has windows vista or 7 would it let me view it as a "hard-drive". Have the most wonderful video of Mum's 80th that the clan would love to see. Soooo frustrated. grrrr. lol

sorry for the delay daisy , I use windows xp with my iphone and dont have any issues. Worth a shot trying to disable your anti-virus just for a few minutes.

When you say you cant see the drive , have you tried another usb slot on the laptop?

HI jessie
Well finally I got it to work on my daughter's laptop with windows vista. Windows XP does not like files larger than 500MB - so we did it on hers and it worked. incidentally it took four and a half hours to load a five and half min video onto FB - anyhow I will know for future reference to keep the vids shorter and less than 500MB.
Thanks anyway.
cheers r@in moody1 coming down in buckets here since mid afternoon yesterday!
