Working for pics & 10sec video on iPhone4s sender but not for 59min video

IPhone4s to iPad2 works for 5 photos and a 10 sec video but when 59min video is selected, iPad gives Error message "the sender device responded but does not have pictures to share."
Dear Jim,

Thanks for contacting us. Currently there is a limit of 10 minutes for videos when transferring from iPhone to iPad. This is because of the file size of the videos larger than 10 minutes. A video of 59 minutes is probably several GB long so it may take a very LONG time to transfer from iPhone to iPad but in theory should work. To enable the transfer of longer videos do this:

Open the 'Settings' app on your iPhone and go to the settings for our app 'Transfer'). Then change the limit for the setting 'Max video duration' to 3600 seconds (60 mins).

I would recommend to do this on a wifi network that does not have much traffic. Also please note that it will probably take a long time to transfer and that the network will become slow during the transfer. We have tested with videos that are about 15 minutes long and it's worked well. This will be the biggest transfer we've heard so far so please let us know how it goes! Oh, and make sure that you have enough space on the iPad to receive such a long video.

Hope this helps,

Best regards,

Enrique

This trick worked for transferring a 52 min HD video recorded on my iPhone 4, transferring to my iPad 3 over a WiFi network. Transfer took about 30 mins.
