One of the best things about an iPhone is that is does so much more than just make phone calls. There are thousands of applications that can be downloaded onto your iPhone that enable you to play games, keep track of household and work issues, as well as so much more. With your iPhone you can listen to your favorite music and watch your favorite television shows and movies. However, not all movies are compatible with the iPhone. Thankfully, movies that run in Quicktime are easily converted to play on your iPhone.
Step 1
Download and install iTunes to your computer if you have not already done so. You must have iTunes enabled to transfer movies to your iPhone.
