I have a couple of videos that I would like to put onto my computer from my iphone 4.....I don't want to put them on youtube etc.....Just onto my computers hard drive how do I do this? thanks for any help~Chris
 
If from a PC - just copy them directly via Windows Explorer - the iPhone is just a drive / displayed under 'Computer' that you can access like any other drive. Or PSE works as well, if you have it.
 
Plug ip4 in launch my computer and you should see your iPhones camera folder. Your video is in there.
 
Not sure if it'll happen to you to, but on my PC at home when I try to copy just 1 picture or just 1 video it will cause Explorer.exe to crash. So I have to copy over the entire folder that contains all of the pictures/videos.
 
And it may take a couple of tries to actually see all photos/videos that are present on your phone. I've been trying to transfer a video I shot at the end of June and it just today showed up in Explorer. Weird, and highly annoying.
