How to upload a video from my iPhone4s to facebook? I get "upload failed"

[Hoggirl]

I am trying to take a video from my phone and put it on facebook. I am going through the facebook app and choosing from library, etc. When I choose the video, it compresses it, but when I try to then up load it, I get the message "Upload failed." What am I doing wrong? It's four minutes. Is that too long? I am such a techno-moron. It seems so straight-forward. Why isn't it working?

 

ETA: It gets to about the same point on each attempt - somewhere between 25% and 33% of the way in the upload and then it peters out on me. :(

I have had problems uploading to FB from my iPhone before. I don't know what causes it, but if I cancel the download and try again a few hours later, it usually works. Sorry that's not a lot of help.

Hmm I used to have this problem. I think I had to change the settings on my iPhone, allowing something or other to fix it. I do remember finding the solution online, so you may want to do a web search.

I've tried doing a search, but I am not having much luck. Not sure what to search for???

No. That's not it. Mine was already correctly set, and I have no issues uploading regular photos. It's almost like it times out or something. ???

 

But thanks for trying!

IMO the problem is likely the mobile FB app or your Internet connection. I've had similar issues occasionally trying to post just pictures.

I have problems uploading to facebook from my phone. It doesn't tend to work if I use the share to facebook function but if I go into the facebook app itself and upload it tends to work.

Price had that happen and just tried again later and it worked. I routinely load 3-4 minute videos from my iPhone through the FB app. I have had trouble emailing photos lately, but they upload fine through the app.
