I shot a short video on my iPhone 5 as well as a few photos. I was moving the photos to my laptop and accidently moved the video as well. When I try to move it back to the phone I can't as I get like a no entry sign. Is there any way to move this video back to the phone?
 
I think you need to change the video file name. And transfer into the iPhone 5 back with using iTunes. I hope that would works well.

I can't see any way of linking to the video from iTunes.
 
I'll try that and see if it helps. Thanks.
 
The easiest way is to use DROPBOX or other cloud service. If you're panicky, open it up in a video editor and save it as a Quicktime file (though no file extension changes should have occurred)

I personally HATE using iTunes (slow, cumbersome, have to wait for it to sync), though people love it.
 
I'll have a look at both of those. Thanks.
 
Have you changed the file format may be uploading to dropbox as the user told you above can help you can then download it from dropbox.
