How can I get iPhone videos onto a disc or USB ?

Found 17th Jan

I’m looking for a way to get these videos of my little girl copied so she can watch them when she’s older. I have a mac book if that helps. Also would it be better to store on disc or usb hard drive for the long term ? Thanks

Email them to yourself and then save them on your MacBook?

ICloud would probably be the best option.

Plug your phone into the MacBook and then import the videos In the photos app on Mac, should be able to just drag them from there to usb or disc one imported.

Use Google Photos: itunes.apple.com/us/…t=8

It will backup all your photos and videos.

Very easy to do this wirelessly

Use Airdrop on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

Use AirDrop to send content from your Mac

Once on your Mac they are in your download folder, then just write to USB whatever.

You can just drag and drop all your photos, plug it in unlock phone and press trust. It will open like a mounted disk or digital camera

Either a cloud service like iCloud, Dropbox etc., email or connect the iPhone to the Mac and it should synch with iTunes or use the Photos application.

I wouldn't store them just on a disc or USB drive (if they're really important) as these supports can get damaged/corrupted. Backup on a cloud service is also recommendable for critical data.

It makes no odds Windows would be the same. It’s recognised as storage and like android all photos and videos in the DICM folder.

to further this you can buy a usb stick with a lightning adapter and copy them on that way too
