| How To Load Video From Pc To Iphone |
Method 1: The Trusty Steed (aka iTunes)
Let's start with a classic, iTunes. It's been around longer than most of our phones, so chances are you're familiar with it. Here's the lowdown:
- Dust off your trusty USB cable and connect your iPhone to your PC.
- Fire up iTunes (may require some archeological digging on your computer).
- Unlock your iPhone and, if prompted, trust the computer. This is like giving your friend the spare key to your apartment, but in the digital world.
- In iTunes, navigate to your Movies tab and check the box next to "Sync Movies."
- Click "Apply" and watch as your video magically appears on your iPhone.
Bonus points: If you only want to transfer specific videos, you can drag and drop them from your computer directly into the Movies section in iTunes.
Tip: Reading in chunks improves focus.
Word to the wise: While iTunes is reliable, it can be a bit finicky sometimes. If you encounter any issues, don't despair! There are other methods waiting in the wings.
Method 2: The Wireless Warrior (aka iCloud)
Feeling cord-averse? No problem! iCloud is your wireless savior. Here's how to use it:
Tip: Absorb, don’t just glance.
- Make sure both your PC and iPhone are connected to Wi-Fi.
- On your iPhone, go to Settings > iCloud > Photos.
- Enable iCloud Photos and choose "Optimize iPhone Storage" if you're short on space.
- On your PC, download iCloud for Windows.
- Log in with your Apple ID and check the box next to "Photos" during setup.
- Open File Explorer, navigate to iCloud Photos, and drag and drop your video there.
Voila! Your video should automatically appear in your iPhone's Photos app.

Pro tip: Uploading large videos to iCloud can take some time, so be patient and grab a cup of coffee (or two) while you wait.
Tip: Note one practical point from this post.
Method 3: The Third Wheel (aka Third-Party Apps)
There are also a number of third-party apps available that can help you transfer videos. These can be a good option if you're looking for a more user-friendly experience or if you have specific needs, like transferring larger files.
Just a heads up: Do your research before downloading any app, and make sure it's from a trusted source.
Tip: Take mental snapshots of important details.
Remember: No matter which method you choose, backing up your data is always a good idea. Just in case those gremlins in the machine decide to throw a wrench in your plans.
So there you have it! With these methods in your arsenal, you'll be transferring videos from PC to iPhone like a pro, ready to share your cinematic genius (or cat videos) with the world. Now go forth and conquer the digital landscape!
