    Just in case anybody else have the same issue; I was able to avoid converting files all together and upload my photos via iCloud, and my newest .mov videos via the program FoneTool.

     

    I had to change the "Created" date of the files, to the same as "Modified" date, since iPhone uses the first mentioned to catalog videos. I was able to do so with a simple powershell-script:

     

    $files = Get-Item *

     

    foreach ($file in $files) {

    try {

    $time = Get-Item $file | select -ExpandProperty LastWriteTime
    (Get-Item $file).CreationTime=($time)
    Write-Output "$file - OK"

    }
    catch {

    Write-Output "$file - $($_.Exception.Message)"

    }

    }

     

    I'd be happy to hear from anybody with the same problem 🙂
